Twice In A Lifetime

Once Twice In A Lifetime(that's how I wanted the title to read) There was a great article in the Life & Arts Sunday paper (remember those??) yesterday. Arts/Culture reporter Ron Rollins expanded a plug for Tom Moon's new book "1,000 Recordings to Hear Before You Die" into a lament for the bygone days the local record store, and how much missed are the environs of musical discovery that were co...

The day I met David Byrne.
11 months ago

Almost as exciting as the day I met Peter Hook. I have been a Talking Heads fan forever, just like New Order...so it actually started the day before he played a packed house at Wells Fargo Center in Santa Rosa CA. We met up with David's band during the day for a shoot and caught him on his bike ride through the city. Imagine yourself stopped in traffic...and David Byrne passes you by on a bi...

Who? What? Another bio-post for the MOS
11 months ago

Who am I? What a difficult question. There are only facts linked by my memory and these digital grains of music and media, a faint line of sand behind me. I was born and raised in Scottdale, a small town in southwestern Pennsylvania, surrounded by lots of family and places to explore, freedom and possibility, provincialism and a kind of redneck white trash vague rebelliousness. We said thi...

When the Talking Heads _Speaking in Tongues_ first came out, I went to the record store and was among the lucky few who bought a limited edition vinyl of the album that was designed by none other than "Robert Rauschenberg":http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Rauschenberg.It was the prized album in my collection ... the vinyl itself was clear, and included several sheets of acetate upon which Ra...

What song would you blast while quiting your job with style?
over 2 years ago

I just came across this video the other night. What an inspiring piece and perfect timing for me to relate. For those of you who haven't seen it...I think it's worth the watch. You know some of the workers started to get a bit scared after a few minutes between the humor and insanity there's a fine line. Okay so I relate because I dislike my job. It's paying the bills, I'm able to have a...

Just sitting here at work, still thinking about how life works these days.To quote myself from a comment on "Jenny Tatone's":http://mog.com/Jenny_Tatone blog on the subject of bands' apparent love of the past:_If the law of diminishing returns is to be believed, in the year 2020 bands will reinvent and reexplore the music that was released earlier that day. By 2035 Bands will Reinvent and reexa...

If you were a song, what would you be?
over 2 years ago

A long time ago my sister declared that if I were a song and not a human, I would be "Brown Eyed Girl" by Van Morisson. I don't even have brown eyes but she said the song "sounded like me." However, today I'm positive that I would be that song "Once in a Lifetime" by the Talking Heads. Can anyone relate to this?
