A former coworker back east e-mailed me today, asking me to comment on some Tampa-area bands' names, and provide tips for naming bands, for an article she's writing. And that's what I've been doing, on and off, all day. And I thought I'd give y'all a peek, since it was fun to do, and she'll probably use very little of it. And so you can see how ( Read more... )

It could be the free drinks and french dips from the Town House, but this nearly made me crY:

KALX played some vintage high-lonesome just now, and I almost had to turn it off because it reminded me of SIO. And then I realized that his leaving makes me feel like I failed him -- failed to be the free spirit I claim to be, wish to be, failed to take off running with him on that tour that we couldn't plan, failed to give up working at this ( Read more... )

Having now watched all of Season 1 of "The Office" (the original), I must now thank all my friends who had already seen it, yet refrained from teasing me when I announced that I was going to get a degree in psych, only to put that plan off a few months later when offered the possibility of a better job within my current (hated) company. Thanks, all

Blogging is all I want to do today, it seems. The jury's still out on what the fuh Simon wants from me. I never sent him, nor his publicist, the article. I did send one to PitchforkMedia, just because I thought they'd get a kick out of it. But I think perhaps someone he knew may have finally read it and shown it to him. Or he's going to be in SF ( Read more... )
