GREAT RECORD!!  (To be read like Paul Rudd playing John Lennon in “Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story”)  GREAT RECORD!! “The man who sold the world” is my latest crack for the moment—I have certain songs that will hit me (sometimes more than once) and I cannot get rid of them until they have been listened to for days on end. "Come on man... I need to hear that shit... I got these cheeseburgers..." I have David Bowie’s...

MEOW!  Yep, it’s a cat.  Cheerio the cat, in fact.  She would always get so excited and meow her little head off when I petted her and gave her a good scratch behind the ears.  It would crack everyone up and I figured I’d throw it in there.  Alas, I had no goat or I would’ve used the goat instead. The preferred instrument of most musicians The thing I remember first and foremost about Front Y-Ard Stomp is how bloody damn cold it...

Ah, introspection… Am I right?  Am… Am I right? Well, we all do it I suppose—self evaluation, I mean—I sure as hell do it quite a lot. I think... Yes... A ballad next time... Yes yes... That will be da bomb!

I heard them in college and being the nostalgic cat I am, I love to revisit tunes I associate with the times of my life.  Granted, that time was fairly shitty for me; I still...

“Ogden’s Nut Gone Flake” was a rad album, man.  I’m sorry to say other than “Itchycoo Park,” I don’t now a whole lot more from the Small Faces than this later album; but I’m working on that.  I really enjoy the Small Faces. Looks like a can of melt your face It’s a pretty damn killer disc.  Those cats were alright, for real real—not for play play.  Check em out if you dig those 60’s joints; incidentally,...

Got another beautiful little ditty for you friends, neighbors and family out there (yep, you’re all friends, neighbors and family now; so dig it the most and say thankee sai). Umphrey’s McGee is the band.  “The Pequod” is the tune.  It’s one of those lovely minor sounding-type, wistful tunes that is perfect for reflection, nostalgia or slow lovemaking/light petting—lol.  Actually, I’m not so sure it’s a bedroom song;...
