Turkey Day Return
Much as with our drive up, my wife and I are on the return leg of our Thanksgiving pilgrimage, and once again listening to random playback. In our attempt to evade the perils of traffic, we woke far earlier than reasonable for a Sunday morning and hopped in the Pot Roast wagon. This morning’s sleep-deprived playlist has included:
Nine Inch Nails, Avett Bros., Bruce Springsteen, TV on the...

Turkey Day Shuffle
On the road to Thanksgiving today. So far, my roadtrip random playlist has included:
Tom Waits,
Suzanne Vega,
The Distillers,
Fenix TX,
The Beatles,
Nine Inch Nails,
The Really Good Pot Roast,

Happy Thanksgiving

Write Mix Punch Mix Yell Mix Album
Writing music is like trying to remember the dream you had last night. It seemed so real for a fleeting moment, and you desperately claw at the memory as you tell it to others. Sometimes you get it right, and the story unfolds well. Sometimes, it’s close but not quite, missing something almost tangible. You get the gist, not the rest. And most of the time, it’s just gone, lost to the ether. ...

Occupying My Way to Work
A last minute work trip has me heading out to Oakland. My hotel seems to be about 2 blocks away from the Occupy Movement’s common meeting ground. My office is about 3 blocks from the other side of the meeting ground. I have to walk betwixt the two before and after the work day.
