I've never received a phone call where I'd been told that something awful has happened, some inconceivable loss. I don't typically ruminate on death, car accidents, losing my teeth, hair, or sexual identity. But sometimes I read a book or hear a song, and suddenly I am that person I thought I wasn't. I grow increasingly nervous, scared. I double check locks to be sure of myself.I am reading Don...
So, after a few days of brilliant weather, we're back to the in-between. Cold, rainy, snow, but no real commitment to either one. This kind of weather sparked me to put on Ryan Adams' Love is Hell for the drive this morning. I found myself enjoying that record more than I was expecting to. I like the album - Though, I never seem to listen to it. That should be changed, I have been neglectful.Sa...
So, it’s three in the afternoon on Sunday and I’ve been awake for about two hours. Last night was my bachelor party and I didn’t get home until about 4:30am after starting at 2pm yesterday.

the lot of you here who are collectors, whether of vinyl or what not, know of the unfathomable joy and pride brought by owning something rare, hard to find, out of print, and the like. rarely, though, does the same euphoric vibe emanate from owning the Tommy Hilfiger of music media - compact discs.if they do not even boast backmasked messages, really, what CDs out there are to die for? just don...
I felt like listening to something mellow, but also had a pulse running through it to keep my attention. Maybe it's the cold weather sinking into my skin, although out here in the west coast cold is nothing like it is elsewhere. I am reminded time and again that I need to sometimes stop and listen. This song brings me to a place where I can detox from the constant rush from my everyday life....
