Heya, ducking in here a sec because . . . I will have a booth at the Venice Book Fair in Venice, FL on Saturday, March 15, 2025. Come say hello if you happen to be in south Florida then and feel up to it. The weather should be nice. My dog Kaji will be putting in an appearance and you can meet him a...

Don't hold your breath waiting for Trumper types to have buyer's remorse. It's a delusion and it runs deep. Remember that during the pandemic, even as some people let out their last breaths of air while intubated in overfilled hospitals, they were unwilling to admit Covid 19 was real. I suggest mayb...

Among other things, she wrote "Gypsy." That's a pretty great moody radio hit.

Oh nice ^^^, will check those out later.

I saw Neurosis only once, circa Times of Grace , so about 1999 or 2000. It was in the basement of the Eagles Ballroom, whatever they call that venue (I honestly can't remember). I knew nothing about the band beforehand but attended the show at a friend's behest. The music was very good. Since then, ...

Last night I threw the new vinyl reissue of The Clean's Modern Rock on the turntable, for the first time. It was remastered by their sound guy Tex Huston, from the original tapes. If this album had been put out by Bad Boy Records with a picture of P. Diddy on the cover, holding baby oil and gesturin...

https://i.ibb.co/841kGqT/delphineseyrig.jpg Delphine Seyrig dressed up as an older woman in Muriel or The Time of Return is a CHOICE, as the youngins say. Somehow the gray hair and frumpy outfits, and added bangs, make her look even more fetching. I'm biased, though, cuz the movie happens to be rea...

"Relevant" is one of those words I can't help but find loaded. In the context of independent music, or any entity that would appeal to one generation or region of the world but less so another, or maybe even rock music itself at this point , there are countless examples of things that a sp...
