Sunday Road Trip with Poppa

Okay, I said I’d have another song to share today. Well, I can’t make good on that promise I’m afraid. I had completely forgotten about the Record and CD Show today from 1 to 6pm in Fort Wayne. These things only come around four times a year, so I really wanted to make this one. […]

Mr. Pooch McGooch Approves…

Saturday I’d heard a rumor from my good friend and Cambodia Highball bandmate Shane Page that the downtown antique store was having a huge vinyl sidewalk sale. Everything out on the sidewalk was only .50, then from 4 to 5pm everything was .10. Well we practiced until 3:30pm, so that took me out of the […]

Sunday Salsa…and Guacamole

We’ve arrived at yet another Sunday, and that means another end to a weekend. It’s always sad to see a weekend go. “Goodbye weekend. We had a great time together, didn’t we? Yeah, that thing we did was so much fun. Okay, be careful driving. Watch out for deer. Call when you get home!” But […]

Friday the 13th

Today is Friday the 13th. I can’t report any bad luck for today. I mean, no more than I normally deal with anyways. It was actually a rather pleasant Friday the 13th. The weather finally broke and it was a beautiful cool day. A fall day. Upper 60s for a high. It’ll get down to […]

Music on a Wednesday

I haven’t written much on music the last couple days. I’ve been busy and haven’t had the proper time to discuss and reflect. Plus, this heat we’ve had this week has pretty much knocked me on my ass. So tonight I’m gonna talk about a couple albums I received from the UK courtesy of Death […]

Head

So, back in the day when Times Square was still a sewer and littered with junkies and prostitutes and X-rated theaters lined the street there used to be this place you could visit called a head shop. Now, this wasn’t something just Times Square had. No, I was merely using that as an example of […]

Shaking The Habitual

It’s Sunday and I don’t have much to report. But, since I’m sitting in my chair relaxing I figured I could put these fingers to work. The majority of the weekend has been listening to music, so it’s been a pretty good weekend for the most part. I’ve had some moments of bull-headedness, but that’s […]

and so it has begun…

It was nearly 3:30am and I was sleeping quite comfortably when I felt a presence. I opened my eyes slowly and saw a smallish figure standing next to me. “I can’t fall asleep. I keep waking up, and my head hurts.” “You’ve been in bed for six hours”, I said to my distraught son. “Let […]

Outsider Art

So it’s taken me years. It’s taken me many years before I’d consider myself an artist. I don’t know why, really. It’s just one of those things that I’d look at and think it’s just something I like to do in-between working a real job and paying bills and taking care of my family. It’s […]

New Jams and a Four Day Weekend

I know, you’re thinking “No man. It’s a three day weekend.” For me, it’s a four day weekend. I took today off, so I got four days away from “the man”, you dig? I’m no cog today. No corporate puppet having its strings pulled by some middle management soul-sucking succubus. No sir. Today I’m the […]
