  • The Hits Just Keep Coming…

    Goodbye Chuck. You are a great musician who also had a great sense of humor.

  • Earworm Wednesday: Everyone Should Have Their Own Theme Song

    I never gave Ben Folds Five anytime of day. I did have a girlfriend in college that loved the shit out of them, and being that she was dating me, I just assumed she had a thing for nerdy quirky guys.

    Then, like six or seven years ago when I was on a puppet show tour, all of us puppeteers were at the hotel bar talking about music, and what do we consider to be our personal theme song? You know, that song that when you hear it, either speaks to you, or defines who you are. And one of the puppeteers, named Kate, said that “Kate” by Ben Folds Five, was her song. And icing on the cake was that the song sort’a did sound like it was describing puppeteer Kate. So, when I hear “Kate” it makes me think of Kate, and I miss Kate. She’s pretty cool.

  • Ozzy is Dead. Long Live Ozzy!

    Very sad and sorry to hear that Ozzy Osbourne has just passed away; Legend and Rock god.

    I know that much better obituaries and tributes will be coming in the following hours and days. In my little corner of the world, I am dumbfoundingly amazed that four blokes from Birmingham, England could create such a complete and original sound of rock that still sounds fresh and raw as the day it came out. They changed music forever.

    Thank you, Ozzy, for everything.

  • Earworm Wednesday: My Kid Hates this Lumbering Song

    I will give you bonus points if you remember “The Midnight Special” TV series.

    It’s a kitschy song in my opinion, but the main riff is pretty cool, and does get stuck in my head easily. Also, that’s the reason my kid hates this song – her dad wanders around the house humming it, and it just drives her crazy.

    But I know that I’m not the only one who loves that riff…

  • Earworm Thursday: How Can You Not Dance to This?

    Oh, I will jump on it.

    This song always makes me smile when I hear it. And then it won’t leave, playing on repeat in my head.
