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 […]

Monday Check-IN(1/27/25)

What’s happening, folks? Yes, it is indeed another Monday morning. Another work week has begun and we’re standing slack-jawed wondering what the hell happened to the weekend. This has been an ongoing trend for the as long as I can remember. At least as far back as the early 80s when I truly started to […]

In The Cold, Doing The Work, Missing My Four-Legged Friend

Well we are in the thick of it, folks. The cold has arrived and plans on sticking around for a bit. It’s currently 10 degrees with a nice northerly wind that slaps hard every time I open the door at work. Within about 5 minutes the indoor temp on the dock went from 65 to […]

New Year, New Covid

The year has gotten off to a great start. It’s begun with good old Covid. We’d had plans to have my best friend come over on New Year’s Eve. You know, some tacos, some movies, maybe spin some records, and maybe some classic video games to scratch that early 80s arcade itch. But I was […]

Stepping Back Is A Good Thing

Being away from work and essentially the world for over a week has been a good thing. I was pretty burnt out when I left work over a week ago. Burnt out and tired of being angry for some truly nefarious shite they pulled. I knew I needed to kickstart my Thanksgiving vacation early as […]

Been A Minute…

Hey all. Sorry for the absence. It’s that time of year where I put in some vacation time and unplug, spending my time off recording music, painting, watching movies, and spinning records. Also, just attempting to rid my brain of all the toxic waste that’s left in my head thanks to working for a giant […]

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 […]

Collins : VHS

We are less than a week away from Halloween. The best stuff always goes by way too fast, doesn’t it? We wait and anticipate the spooky season for most of the year that when October 1st arrives, November 1st shoves its way to the front of the line. I’ve been working on a little music […]

Monday’s Back…With A Vengeance

Another weekend come and gone. It’s like it never happened, sadly. That’s the story with most weekends, you’re so excited on Friday afternoon that you don’t take the time to stop and smell the roses so to speak. Saturday morning you may pull back on the brakes a bit, but then you get caught up […]

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 […]
