On Throwback Thursday, I’m going to take the easy way out and post some content I covered before: why not? What I find fascinating about looking back at these posts is my growth as a writer and person. It’s…rough in this post. But I was listening to 24-straight hours of live Throbbing Gristle days before

In spite of the fact that I’m an inveterate (some might even say compulsive) music listener, I’ve never been super into live shows. Only in my recent years have I seen such luminaries as Paul McCartney, King Crimson, Boris, The Residents, Belle and Sebastian, and The Melvins and felt myself more compelled to attend shows.

Recently, I went to the beautiful “The Dawn Treader Book Shop” in Ann Arbor, Michigan, with my girlfriend Vanessa. The shop itself is an institution: opened in 1976 by Bill Gillmore (though recently sold to Africa Schaumann in 2022), the shop focuses on used books, in particular first-edition and rare titles.

It’s Never Too Late to Try Again Well, a lot sure has changed since my last post. I’ve moved twice and am planning a third. We’ve had two presidents of various quality. I’ve discovered a love of jazz and classical music. Three dogs died. The site changed appearance. I published two books on music. I

Hey hey, quick question: do you all like porno? I don’t mean to shock or offend. Certainly I’m not interested in drawing this blog into the gutter with such filthy talk. It’s more of a rhetorical question. Because I’m sure in the course of your life, you’ve probably seen some. It’s okay: it’s natural. There’s

If there’s anybody that knows anything about dance music, it’s Paul McCartney. Clearly a man who knows what it means to dance. Courtesy Strange Cosmos While it looks like his boy toy dance partner has two left feet, Paul has consistently shown he has a great ear for music that gets you on your feet

What a long strange trip… You know what? I’m not going to throw down that hoary old quote like it’s some beatific mantra that distills the essence of life into seven simple words. It’s a petty and banal way to start a review and I won’t stand for own laziness. Especially as this is, indeed,

It’s amazing to me that it’s been two years since I’ve updated this site. Two years! Oh, how much things have changed in that time. And how much they’ve stayed the same. For a long time, I considered the site essentially abandoned, like a boat out in the rain. I figured rust would set in
