So Damn Hot

With each passing year I’m of the opinion that we as a planet are cruising for a bruising, in the form of overwhelming heat. I had my share of super hot days as a kid in the 80s, sure. We had upper 80s and 90s, and there were a few trips to Kings Island and […]

Gone To The Dogs

It was another decent weekend. Weather wasn’t all that great, as by Saturday afternoon it clouded up and started raining, but overall I was with people I wanted to be with and that’s the most important part. Thursday after work I hit the roof and yard. Living in a pine tree forest we get the […]

Lousy Smarch Weather

It feels to me like this has been the most inconsistent winter we’ve had in years. We had one stretch of truly brutal cold back in January and that was pretty much it. One big winter storm, plus some polar vortex-like frigid cold all in one weekend and week then that was it. By the […]

New Songs For Those Night Thrills

Before you could say “Please, no more music” I’m here dropping new music. Yes, I’m currently sitting on a back log of new music I recorded starting in October. If you’re paying attention I released a 4-song EP of instrumental music just a couple weeks ago, but those were all a year’s worth of music […]

2024

Well hello stranger. So how are we all doing? Did you know, it’s now officially 2024? Yeah, I just found out yesterday. Went to bed on Sunday night like normal, then woke up on Monday morning and we’re in a new year. Crazy how that happens. Okay, just joking. I knew it was 2024. I’m […]

50, or: 10 Years Since A Lost Time Accident

Why hello. How are you? How’s it going? It’s been a minute since I checked in here. A couple weeks, to be exact. It’s been a busy couple of weeks, what with Thanksgiving, a family-wide illness, and the big 5-0 which I turned on December 2nd. Maybe not action packed, but it’s been packed. Where […]

“We have resumed control…”

It’s been a week since I posted anything. Or nearly a week. I knew it’d been awhile since my Chromebook was completely dead, sitting idly on top of the subwoofer in the living room collecting dust. After a two-week build up of album lists and revisiting records of 2022’s past, I needed a break. I […]

Music For Sad Robots : Just Some Harmless Self Promotion

I’m taking a little break from talking about the art of others today and am going to share something about my own art endeavors. I do talk about making art quite a bit, and the benefits of being creative in your own life. But today I’m actually sharing a bit of the fruit of my […]

Namen Namen : Namen Namen EP

Every once in a while a local band sends an album my way and I get the feeling they won’t be a local band for long. Fort Wayne has seen its share of amazing artists; Orange Opera, Vandolah, Thunderhawk, B-Sharps, and Heaven’s Gateway Drugs to name a few. Four-piece Namen Namen can now be added […]

Sankofa : BLKTCHP

Does MC Sankofa sleep? Is there any downtime for this Midwest rapper? If you check out the list of albums he’s been putting out at a record pace I’d say no. If he’s not plotting the next album with some killer production courtesy of some amazing producer friends, he’s dropping videos of him freestyling over […]
