Moving the Portable Party
about 1 year ago

Hangin’ and bangin’ on a Saturday night: It’ll be the standard dinner-gallery-nightclub run with a few comrades. Not too original. A little of the same old same-old, but certainly manageable. I’m sure that some of us have clubs or floating parties that they try to attend on a frequent basis – places where the scene is always worth the trouble of going out. I know how bummed I’ve been w

Freedom from sorrow is just two doors away...
3 months ago

One of the sad facts of moving house is that neighbors will often not recognize misanthropy until it literally smashes them upside the head with the blunt force of a mostly empty gin bottle. If you are anything like me, your gin bottles are ensconced in knickknacks and baubles meant to invoke the spirit and goodwill of lords and creators; cruciform baubles of lavender scent that juxtapose poor...

Seems like this whole town's insane
over 2 years ago

So, long story... I had just spent about twenty minutes fucking off at work, and by fucking off I mean sitting, alone, sheltered from the rain, but not the wind, watching dozens and dozens of geese gorging themselves on what smelled like shit, but looked a lot like wheat. The time had finally come for me to be done fucking off in that particular manner, so I put the forklift in gear a headed ...

Feelin all alone without a friend, you know you feel like dyin.So yeah, I'm willing to admit that all I ever post about is Babybird and Dwight Yoakam. Fuck you for thinking there's something wrong with that. Ok, "fuck you" is a little harsh, but you backed me into a corner there. You know how it is when you've got no escape. I guess what I'm saying here is, "I'm sorry," but you left me no c...

In Which David Letterman's Disappointment is Mistaken for Anger
about 1 year ago

I was a Letterman fan early on, always making sure to catch his appearances on the Tonight Show, arranging my schedule so I could see his daytime show and staying up late to see his original nighttime show on NBC. His first few years at CBS were a treat, but as the run wore on, he seemed to tailor his jokes more to the tourists in the live audience than those of us in TV land. So I was really ...

One of the best country albums of the last 25 years
over 2 years ago

Dwight Yoakam gained his notice with Hillbilly Deluxe and Buenos Noches from a Lonely Room, but he won me over with this cd. A perfect mix of uptempo and slow songs, this cd is heads and tails above anything else Nashville was making at the time. (with apologies to Steve Earle who spent more time in jail than in the studio) So many tracks stand out... the opening track "Distance Between You a...

Buck Owens and Dwight Yoakam took the Streets of Bakersfield (MP3) to number one on this day back in 1988. This was Buck's last number one country hit, and Dwight's first. Unbelievably, Yoakam's only had one other number one single since, and it was his next single I Sang Dixie. Enjoy this flashback to 1988!If you missed yesterday's videos, you missed:Cowboy Troy's Studio 330 SessionBrad Pai...
