I’m getting some serious Nations of the World vibes here. But neither of those are as easy to sing for someone like me as Albania…Albania…

The Dow! The Dow Right Now!
This is disturbingly catchy, and almost certainly the most enjoyment I’ve ever gotten out of Pam Bondi talking. I’m sure it’s just a matter of time before I catch myself yelling “The Dow! during some housework or other. Here are highlights (in the loosest sense of the word) of the meltdown in question should you …
I’ve Got Emotions Improperly, and Where’s Arizona?
Hi there. It’s me, the weirdo who keeps disappearing. I have all sorts of ideas, but either my brain goes zap or time disappears. So I figured I’d start with something silly. When Steve posted about the weird freedom.gov website, he mentioned the song “Ocean Front Property”. This made me think of some confused small …

Relationships, Unlike Valentine’s Day, Are Built On Honesty And Trust
Carin for sure and probably me at some point have described what passes for our Valentine’s Day tradition, so I won’t go over it again. But what I will say is that I feel very lucky whenever jokes like these come around, because sometimes they ain’t jokes, my guys. Pay attention, and good luck. Speaking …

Make America Metal Again
If Donald Trump has to exist, at least we can make him do something useful like sing “Run To The Hills”. Or “For Whom the Bell Tolls”. Or any of the other things you can find on the Lars von Retriever Metal Trump YouTube channel.
Every Band You Pay
I realize that I’m maybe super mega oversimplifying things here, but goddamn is it ever stupid that bands fight over songwriting credits. I was in a band once. I’ve also pitched in here and there to help my musical friends with things they’ve written. Most of that stuff never wound up getting released, and anything …
What Else Would It Be About
Landslide was already a great song, but the educational component really puts it over the top, I think. I’ll be taking cover, too.
Christmas Is Right Around the Corner! Roar!
I know. I stole the title from something that was said at an Arrogant Worms concert, but I’ve thought it ever since. If you’re sick of the usual Christmas songs, here’s one for you. It’s been stuck in my head since I heard it. When I heard this one for the first time, I couldn’t …

I Need A Drink. If Only I Knew What I Wanted. Perhaps A Cup Of Tea
Sometimes things are funny because they’re true, like this video here. Whenever I flip by a new country station or don’t have control of the radio, all I ever seem to hear is what sounds like the same two or three dudes singing the same song about beer, jeans, trucks and gravel roads. And the …

Some Things I Wrote Down
I thought I was finally starting to get a bit better at the posting thing again, but I’ve hit another wall, it seems. So maybe I’ll try jotting some stuff down and posting it when it feels right. Making myself do this in the usual ways hasn’t worked in years, so maybe this will. It’ll …
