“At Your Funeral” – Saves The Day
I sing a lot. In the shower. Out of the shower. Pretty much all the time. The response to this behavior has varied; I’ve made strangers fall in love with me while listening to me through a shared wall, and I’ve made people who love me want to scream at me to please shut the fuck up already.… Read the rest ““At Your Funeral” – Saves The Day”
“Hello Mary” — David Baerwald
David Baewarld – “Hello Mary”
So what’re ya drinkin’?
No, I gave it up.
It was nothing like that,
just enough became enough.
Tell me about your life,
tell me about your man.
No, I was only curious,
I was thinkin’ you’d understand.… Read the rest ““Hello Mary” — David Baerwald”

“Hey Mister” — Custom
Someone pointed out to me earlier today that 2002 was sixteen years ago, and most of you were innocent babies back then, so you don’t even know this song exists.

The Amazing Cosmic Awareness of Duffy Moon
Dear god, I’ve found it. After all these years and all my haunted dreams, I’ve found it. The document at the heart of my destruction.
I had a soul as a boy, before I watched The Amazing Cosmic Awareness of Duffy Moon.… Read the rest “The Amazing Cosmic Awareness of Duffy Moon”
Chris Cornell (1964-2017)
Okay, Universe… now you’re just fucking with me.
My favorite Soundgarden memory is of me and Lady Macbedtime playing Road Rash on the original PlayStation for hours on end, and when we were done, just letting the game sit on the title screen while it looped through a soundtrack containing Outshined, Superunknown, and Rusty Cage.… Read the rest “Chris Cornell (1964-2017)”
“Same Auld Ang Syne” — Dan Fogelberg
It was kind of cool, stumbling across this piece about Same Old Lang Syne. I wonder how many people have stories about how they discovered that particular song?
For me, I found it via an ex, around ‘92. It was winter, and our years-long relationship was almost over; it would have died naturally by the New Year, but as luck would have it, diamond jewelry has a way of dragging things out, and we survived until February.… Read the rest ““Same Auld Ang Syne” — Dan Fogelberg”
Leonard Cohen (1934-2016)
This is getting rough, especially since he just published new material.
Don’t get me wrong, I think it’s amazing that some of the greats are able to drop albums right before they die… the perfect gift to a world that loved them.… Read the rest “Leonard Cohen (1934-2016)”
“The Bones of You” – Elbow
One of my favorite songs from one of my favorite albums of the last ten years.
Just to prove I’m still alive over here.
