I didn't watch the Oscars last night. One of the few movies I saw that was nominated was “Sing Song Blue.”  The flick that featured Hugh Jackman as a Neil Diamond tribute artist.  I really enjoyed it. It was a feel-good, feel-bad movie as Triumph kept mixing it up with tragedy (much like real life).

I still can't separate him from his iconic portrayal of Logan from the X-Men. The most unreal and true indictment of health care in America is the scene where his wife is hit by a car, and he beckons his…

I enjoyed the new “ documentary.  I, too, had a bearded period after giving many years to my job. I didn't get to hang out with Linda McCartney and a bunch of sheep, though!  The same lack of insight into his work colleagues that was evidenced in Get Back bit him on the hand again with the original Wings.  They weren't really equals, and that was a fantasy that took him a while to get over.

The highlight for me was the Rude Studio footage and recording “Mull of Kintyre”.  I always liked the last Wings…

I snuck out my 18th Bandcamp release, The Anya E.P.  When I say “snuck,” I mean that I had no intention of releasing anything as of last week. These tracks were completed, mixed, and mastered a few years back, but didn't fit into the running order of any of my current projects.

Anya is an example of how I'm sometimes inspired by TV. I binged watched “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” that Spring when I was run over by a car and was out of circulation for 3 months. The character of Anya was a vengeance demon who had…

I went to see EPIC with Marta H. yesterday.  Letha went with the “red hat” brigade, so I was left to my own devices, aka the  FANDAGO app. Baz has redone “it” again. He remixes “Elvis on Tour” and “Elvis: That's the Way it is” into a high-fidelity hi-res experience. Kind of like Giles Martin with The Beatles, but with better instincts and love for the source material.

THE TCB band with James Burton and Dale Atha's boyfriend on guitar is hot. Definitely worth checking out, even if you have only a casual…

Did you know that “Grape Nuts” is my favorite “healthy” cereal? There is something about the way it softens with milk that I like. It's a real treat with blackberries and bananas!!  It also tastes vaguely like Purina Dog Chow. I used to occasionally eat dry dog food to shock people and make Ted Willard laugh!! Blame it on my youth.
