Mrs Craddock by W. Somerset Maugham My rating: 3 of 5 stars Not my favorite Maugham novel, but still a very enjoyable read. Maugham is amazing with this novel, in that he makes Bertha Craddock both ...
Fathers and Sons (and Daughters) 1 Mar 2009 | 06:29 pm
Maybe after this week I'll give up trying to find quirky shit to post a mix. Right now I'm too tired to really care. So here's my post for the weak. It's pretty week, really. As I type this I'm listen...
Tommy's Post 21 Feb 2009 | 03:55 pm
I'm posting in a shitty state tonight. Not in a shitty mood...but more in a shit-ass drunk state. So you'll have to forgive both the typos, lack of writing skill, and the increased sentimentality (as ...
Happy Birthday Mom!!!! 17 Feb 2009 | 01:16 pm
I'm going to switch things up a little bit for today's post. Normally I would post the mix first and then the full album. But today's post is dedicated to my mom's 65th birthday, and she will be less ...

I've noticed that The Boss has been getting quite a bit of face-time lately. Obama's inauguration with a choir doing "The Rising." Then that crappy little set at the Super Bowl. Do you think that some...

I've been pondering this list, and how exactly to approach it, for a while. How does one best go about compiling a mix of songs from movie soundtracks? First I searched the net, looking for what vario...
Two Walls of Sound 21 Jan 2009 | 01:35 pm
A few posts ago, I put togeth a little "off-the-beaten-trail" 80s mix. At the time, I commented that my list turned out to be a little more post punk than I had initially intended. The Minutemen, the ...
Not So Readily Recognizable 19 Jan 2009 | 03:02 pm
The other night my wife and I were laying around reading and I had "Steamin' with the Miles Davis Quintet" playing and when it got to "Salt Peanuts" and the rather long drum solo, Michelle bitched abo...
