Music For The New Year: Albums To Look Forward To In 2015

I know, I know. This should be my favorite albums of 2014, not albums I’m looking forward to in 2015. As much as I love the favorite lists, and as satisfying as it is once I’m done with making my own and sharing it with the world, I have to admit it’s quite a daunting […]

Three Years Here

So it was three years ago, on December 8th, 2011, that I put my toes in the waters of this blogging ocean. Before that point I’d often thought about starting a blog. The idea of having my own space out in this digital wilderness to spout off about, well, whatever, seemed like a great idea. […]

My Favorites…2014…Coming Soon

Can you believe we’re almost through with 2014? It’s nearly gone, my friends. And like all of you know, that means music, movie, book, etc obsessives like myself will be pouring over their favorite things of 2014 and compiling massive lists for the masses to completely ignore because they will already be bombarded with plenty […]

41 Years and Counting

What do I have to bitch about? Not much, really. I turned 41 yesterday and I’m surrounded by a wife that loves me, kids that love and look up to me, parents that are proud of me, and an older brother that comes by with a couple beers in hand and a Primus record to […]

The Black Friday Bloat

So here I am, relaxing in my easy chair and typing away. It’s been over a week since I’ve checked in here at jhubner73.com and I have to admit it feels weird. I can’t remember the last time I went a week without writing. Now, I have done some writing since then but nothing I […]

Oneohtrix Point Never : Songs Darkly Lit

You know the old saying, “If you look long enough, you’re bound to find what you’re looking for”? Well that’s not really an old saying. In fact I just made it up right here. It’s that sayings debut. Take it. Let it loose out into the world and tell everyone you saw it here first. […]

This Will Destroy You Destroyed Me

I’ve pretty much been immersed in the world of Texas band This Will Destroy You all week. It’s a harrowing and quite beautiful world to be in. Last week my friend John, who runs Karma Records of Warsaw(my hometown vinyl haunt), had nonchalantly brought This Will Destroy You up to me while I was in […]

The Aftermath

So we made it through. We survived All Hallow’s Eve. No ghouls nabbed us on the road to candy bag mecca, no witches flew down on their broomsticks to whisk us away to dump us in their bubbling cauldron, and no zombies feasted upon our flesh. In fact, it was one of the most bizarre […]

The Return of Halloween

So here we are again. We’re nearing the end of October, which means it’s nearly time to dress up and go door to door and ask for candy. Yep, Halloween is only two days away. My kids look forward to it every year(why wouldn’t they?), and I look forward to it as well. I didn’t […]

Fall Break…or Gimme A Break

It’s finally here. After a nearly two months of waiting and clocking in and out at work I’ve arrived at yet another mini-vacation from that grind called the 9 to 5. Well, mine’s more like a 6 to 2. You get what I’m saying. Last I had a vacation was back during the last week […]
