Even if I didn’t miscalculate, I wouldn’t have been able to catch my stream hitting this milestone song because I had to be at the dentist by 740 AM. How fitting that KMAG played it at 739 AM! Of all … Continue reading →

I was surprised that Blender was still around when I saw an issue at my dentist last month and thanks to Sivacracy, I found their list of The 20 Biggest Record Company Screw Ups. Read it first, then come back … Continue reading →

Lisa was an artist I found rather annoying for the wrong reasons. I foolishly judged a book by its cover. Back in the Nineties, many people my age would wear retro items that looked rather lame. With Lisa, it was … Continue reading →

Yet another fine They Might be Giants concert in Austin making this the sixth time I’ve seen them and their fourth appearance at Stubb’s: they now open the show with a song they wrote about the venue. This Spring the … Continue reading →
