Overcast Brain On A Friday Morning

While glad that it’s Friday, I’m not feeling the same amount of joy and excitement knowing that the weekend starts at 2pm today. My brain has an overcast feel to it; kind of gray, misty, and hazy. As of late I’ve had this lingering sense of melancholy and a touch of anxiety. Worrying about my […]

Doing The Things, Keeping My Head Above Water, Ready For Brighter Days

Hey hey. How are you all doing? Sorry no check-ins this week. There were a lot of albums to listen to and write about, so the personal stuff got put to the way side. I’m here, and it’s Friday, so what better time to have a nice personal, mental cleanse. So last week I was […]

Music Gets You Through

I’ve been a little down the last couple weeks. Nothing specific I suppose, but I’ve been thinking a lot about my dog Otto and I guess I just miss him. Our hangs at home, me watching a movie with a pint and him laying up on the couch next to me. He, of the smarter […]

For Your Consideration

It’s awards season, folks. You know what that means, right? A lot of pomp and circumstance around actors doing acting in those things they act in. But you know what? Instead of throwing your vote away to some Hollywood starlet or Leo DiCaprio for his turn in the sequel to What’s Eating Gilbert Grape, What’s […]

The Hubners And The Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Year

There are days when I just want to yell at the universe, “Give me a break!” A series of events take place that snowball into a dumpster fire of epic proportions, leaving you to put out that dumpster fire before your life is overtaken by burning trash. That’s sort of how I feel about the […]

RIP Mr Pooch McGooch: 2010-2024

This has been one of those things I’ve been dreading for months. So I suppose you could say that deep down I knew it was coming. Yesterday morning we had to give our goodest boy Otto some final peace. Standing around a small table with a warm, fuzzy blanket covering it my wife, my son, […]

Checking Out, Gotcha Days, November Walks

I’m trying to let go of whatever disappointment I’ve been feeling for nearly a week now. Disappointment in the election, in the decision that a majority of Americans made at the polls, and just what seems like a general lack of giving a shit for others that will certainly suffer for the next four years. […]

Long Weekend, New Music Coming Along, Election Week

The 5 days off was much needed. No major appliances or vehicles broke down, no family emergencies, and no injuries. So I’d say it was a successful fall break. Of course the King Crimson show was the highlight. Still reeling from that one, and probably will be for some time. Halloween was pretty uneventful. My […]

Welcome To The Future…And The Past : A Curmudgeon’s Weekend

It’s been a pretty solid weekend. Honestly, the last two or three weekends have been what I would call solid time spent outside of work. Lots of record spinning, lots of walks, quality time with my wife…I guess what I’m saying is I can’t complain. But knowing me I will soon stumble upon some reason […]

October Is Here, Spinning Spooky Scores, Happy Birthday Mr. Pooch McGooch…And New Music Soon

Well it’s been a really, really, really long and hot summer. I’ve never been one to resent hot days, but apparently at 50-years old I’ve become that person. I don’t care if it’s a dry heat or a humid heat, it’s not my friend. I’m sure that once we hit that first single digit day […]
