conversations about music, life, and the alien overlords
Lately, creating music has become a fun thing again. For quite some time I’ve felt like I’ve just been treading water musically, so to speak. The process of writing and recording had always been my favorite thing; micing amps and drums, getting levels, finding that perfect tone, and making what I heard in my head […]
Read More Writing Music Again, Creative Space, and Tamping Down The Dread…I’ve been in a rut lately. I always identified as a musician, though in the roughest sense of the word. But it’s starting to not really feel like part of my identity. For the first time since I was 12-years old making music doesn’t feel like an integral part of me, and it’s really bumming […]
Read More Chord ChangesAt one point in my life I considered myself a serious songwriter. As serious as one could be working a full-time job, married, with three kids. Somehow, with all of that responsibility I still found time to write and record songs on the regular. If inspiration struck I could sit down at the out-of-tune piano […]
Read More Balance Your MadnessThe new year always starts pretty slow for me. I don’t know what it is, but I find myself lacking in words to type, stories to tell, and music to discuss. It could be that those final couple weeks of December are a huge push to discuss the previous year’s triumphs and put them in […]
Read More A Few Words From ManagementI remember as far back as being 5 or 6 years old that I wanted to find something that was my own. Something special; a skill or talent through which I could express myself. Take that storm of ideas, emotions, loves, and fears that swirled in my head and heart and put them out into […]
Read More Phantom LimbIf you happen by here often(or semi-often), then you’ll notice something is different about the place. Sure, the WordPress theme looks different(that may change again), but where is the affable Jhubner73.com, you’re probably wondering?(if you’re not, then you should pay closer attention.) Well, I have indeed re-christened the Good Ship Blog Spot. Jhubner73.com has been […]
Read More Different Name, Same SchmuckSo it was three years ago, on December 8th, 2011, that I put my toes in the waters of this blogging ocean. Before that point I’d often thought about starting a blog. The idea of having my own space out in this digital wilderness to spout off about, well, whatever, seemed like a great idea. […]
Read More Three Years HereHey, did you hear the one about the guy that wanted to set up a vinyl-listening area in his basement family room? Yeah, he already HAS a decent set up in the upstairs living room, but it seems that as he gets older he prefers the solitude of basement dwelling. And being in the basement […]
Read More The One About The Guy And Those Bose 501sIt was two years ago today that I took the plunge and decided to start a blog. It was something I’d been considering for a long time, as I felt I needed some sort of outlet for all the thoughts and opinions in my head. So on December 8th, 2011 I did it. I created […]
Read More Two Years Here…A couple weeks ago I received an email from a woman who works for Naxos USA(not familiar with Naxos? Neither was I..click on the link before reading on). She asked me if I would be interested in reviewing some of their music titles and posting said reviews on Amazon and iTunes, as well as my […]
