Yesterday was not only my birthday, but it was the date of one of the best live shows I’ve seen in years.
At the Jewish Mother in Virginia Beach, The Headhunters funked their asses off. Before you ask, no, Herbie Hancock was not there– this was not the original lineup, only Mike Clark and Bill Summers [...]
It’s like a clipping from a 1964 issue of Filipino Woman Monthly. Just kidding, I don’t think that’s a real magazine. Kim says this cake might taste like poop, but if it tastes anywhere near as good as it looks, I’m sure it’s pretty amazing.
Whiskerino 2005 has nearly one month left, and I’m reflecting prematurely on the experience.
First of all, if anyone ever considers getting into any kind of guarded online community that involves daily self-photography, I highly endorse it. The simple act of taking a picture of myself every day has been extremely therapeutic in ways I [...]
A couple of days ago, Kim told me that her mother was going to change real estate agencies because she found a company that can offer her 100% commission. She has been with the same company for 15 years or so and has many established clients and has considered how much money she could be [...]
Yesterday Kim and I heard 96X (a local radio station) promote an “All 90’s Rock Weekend.” Kim got excited, and I shook my head.
“You know, this is what it’s gonna be like,” I said. “when we’re fifty.”
“What do you mean?”
“You flip on the oldies station and then it’s ‘Mommy, mommy? What’s that weird instrument’? and [...]
I just received a Berkleemusic.com post concerning a band looking for a bassist, I’d like to share it with the world:
I have a trio called ############### and our bassist is going to be moving to New York soon, so we’re looking to replace him and possibly add another member as well. We’re based right outside [...]
I received a phone call yesterday from my old friend William Butterfield who told me was in town. Actually, he was in Charlotesville visiting his brother at UVA, but as far as I knew, Will was in Phoenix, AZ, so thats pretty local by comparison. Apparently, Will went to New Jersey to buy a car [...]
My tastes are expensive. I don’t expect my friends or family to buy me the gifts any more (another reason I know I’m getting old). Here’s a list of things I don’t expect anyone in my life to consider buying for me.
Apple 1.67GHz MacBook Pro – I need a new computer and I didn’t [...]
No explanation needed, I’m sure.
This picture was an MVB (Most Valuable Beard) winner in the Whiskerino 2005 Beard Contest. It may prove to be the only MVB I’ll win.
As a musician, this is an embarassing thing to admit, but in all truth..
I do not get the music people listen to today.
Whether it be the hot new indie rock the kids are purchasing at Relative Theory Records, or the corporate pop garbage that gets played on the radio, I really don’t get a lot [...]
