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 […]

Off The Air

I’m not sure why this thought crossed my mind, but the other day I was thinking about television when I was kid. Growing up in the 80s television was still this thing that would eventually end at the end of the day. You could stay up late and watch Carson, Letterman, then after that there […]

Z :: Visions of Dune

I have not made it a secret that I love analog synth music. Those warm, bubbling tones that permeate the air in visual greens and blues get me every time. The desolation they put my headspace in takes me to my childhood and those late nights staying up watching something I shouldn’t that I’d rented […]

Tomorrow’s Modern Boxes….thoughts?

Friday, September 26th seemed like just another Friday. Slagging through another Friday work day with the glimmer of hope being some tasty craft beers sitting in my fridge waiting for me to compensate the blahs from just another work day. It was sunny out, too. So that helped. But then all of a sudden I […]

Why So Serious?

Oh, poor Ian Curtis. What happened in your life? What made you hang yourself in your kitchen? Anyone taking their life is such a sad, lonely, and desperate thing to do. For those that call it cowardly, I say good day to you sir or ma’am. You’re obviously living a life void of any real […]
