The Doctor Is In
Greetings all.
This will be a short one today.
This week has been crazy busy, and after work today I have to run home, shower and then drive up to Brooklyn to DJ, so I expect to be exhausted for most of the weekend.
As I was wasting time this AM, I happened upon a [...]

Listen – That’s When Happiness Began – MP3
Greetings all.
I hope everyone had a mot excellent weekend, and the beginning of a new week finds you ready for some fuzz.

Here’s hoping that the middle of the week finds you well.
Today’s selection is one of those tunes that I first encountered during the declining years (one might say that these were post-decline, but that is a moptop hair to split another day) of the 80’s garage [...]
The Return of Popeye the Sailor
Greetings.
I come to you following a busy week/weekend, during which my son Miles and I have been digesting – three shorts at a time – the newly released boxed set of classic Fleischer-era Popeye cartoons.
As I am often reminded, there’s a large portion of the adult population that spends little or no time watching cartoons, [...]

Listen – After the Lights Go Out – MP3
Greetings all.
Here I sit, late on a Saturday night, not much to do and I figured the time was ripe to whip a tune up here into the blog-o-sphere.
I’ve been a big Scott Walker / Walker Brothers fan for a long, long [...]
