As you may have noticed, I am a student of artistic categories no one else knows anything about. In celebration of The Incumbent’s jump into the big game, where it has no one but itself to blame for its consistently abysmal “investment” results, here is a very sparse but very fun musical category: Pop acts […]

Today is our tenth wedding anniversary. Cathleen and I have been a couple since January, 1998, but we got legally, lawfully married on Independence Day in 2002. Our “our songs” are No Myth and Thunder Road, but there are some “my songs” that I think of often to remind myself of why I so much […]
“My biggest mistake was loving you too much — and letting you know.” “Why do the best things always disappear?” “Yeah, yeah, you know I sure wish I could yodel like Yoko!” I was a teenage photo geek, and I used to spin up side two of “Before the Flood” and play it all night […]
A great song for Morality Day with Man Alive!. This is Clay Walker doing “Then what?”
Learning to love your self is the greatest love of all. Beyond comparison, Whitney Houston:
Today is Mothertongue day for Man Alive!, so it seems like a fine time to celebrate the best Mothertongue song ever written, When you say nothing at all, written by Paul Overstreet and Don Schlitz and performed here by the incomparable Keith Whitley: Here it is again, covered by Allison Krauss and Union Station: Makes […]
Art is the stuff that sticks with you. Art is the thing that makes a permanent change in who you are. This song has been with me since I was a teenager. It’s never been of me, but it’s something I’ve always understood — even more since I started selling real estate for a living. […]
We’ve been listening to Badlands Country, a rockin’ kind of outlaw alt.country internet radio station. You can get it through the link above, but it should be available from just about any internet radio client. I found it first on iTunes, if that helps, and I listen to in on my iPhone by way of […]
In my spare time I am more than a little annuckingfoyed at the state of whorebottery in the RE.net, which I had once hoped might be an antidote to the whorebots who have infested residential real estate since the advent of the NAR, at least. But: Teri Lussier advises me that the solution to all […]
A fun bit from Mother’s Day was agreeing with my mom, on the phone, about the intense and comical excellence that is Glee, the FOX-TV musical teen melodrama. The melodrama is hugely repetitive, but still very rude and pomo, but the music is often simply breath-taking. There is this: They harmonize the voices, so everyone […]
I have time to write software today for the first time in a while — which is well because we need it. While I was working, Radio Paradise (commercial-free semi-hip music for middle-aged white people) played William Shatner’s cover of Pulp’s Common People, and it made me so nuts I had to go out and […]
Apparently I have been voted onto the Inman “News” list of Real Estate’s 50 Most Inconsequential Online. I have no direct evidence of this, just a bunch of tweeted twaddle that Tom Johnson turned me onto last night. Needless to say, I don’t plan to spend $80 to feed my already quite corpulent vanity. This […]
