Music Monday: “Vagabond” By Wolfmother

Music Monday: “The Garden” By July Talk
A friend recently pointed me to this article, the premise of which is that you stop listening to new music at age 33. My first thought was: bullshit. But with more consideration, there has been some...

I’ve been thinking about werewolves a lot lately (it happens), which inevitably brings me to this album: Satori, by Flower Travelin’ Band, and Part 1, in particular. Something about the song just makes...

Music Monday: “Drunk By Noon” By The Handsome Family
When I’ve had a rough, or a stressful week, it’s always dark or depressing music that ends up cheering me up. It’s been a week. I’ll leave it at that. So on that note, and for my 200th blog post (how...

Music Monday: “Head On” By The Pixies
I can’t believe it took me this long to post about a Pixies song. I’m also surprised it was one of their covers that got the nod. I was head down for most of my weekend on revisions, but there was...

Music Monday: “Under Pressure” By Queen & David Bowie
I spent the weekend hunkered down with Too Far Gone revisions and hoping that Saturday’s thunderstorms wouldn’t cut my power/take my roof off. Still a lot of work left to do, so I’m just going to leave...

Music Monday: “Let The Day Begin” By Black Rebel Motorcycle Club
Black Rebel Motorcycle Club is not a new band to me, but a song that suddenly jumped out at me from the their most recent album is new to me. I was a little late getting to Specter at the Feast, but...

Music Monday: “Holiday Song” By The Pixies
Off vacation, and back to the day job. It didn’t feel like much of a holiday, what with scrambling to get page proofs for Too Far Gone done, and spending the last two days demolishing my old fence and...

Music Monday: “Pink Flamingos” By The Electric Six

Music Monday: “Barrett’s Privateers” By Stan Rogers
