The 1960s was a great era of protest music. People were trying to stop the Vietnam War, civil rights had taken center stage, and many other ills of society were highlighted in some of the great songs from the 1960s. We haven't seen protest music …

Long weekend - last time to enjoy decent weather in the Northeast? Perhaps. Big birthday month - mine and many others (happy birthday to everyone with birthdays in the month - as you know, I'm generally bad at wishing people birthdays, so let thi…

Hi, here's the third of the 1970 podcasts I've done. This one focuses on radio hits from 1970 - back when radio still played all sorts of different music. I mean, really: "Lola was a hit on AM radio, and the Kinks got in trouble, not for the subject…

Masks...just masks. And while masked up, listen to today's podcast, featuring Beth Orton, Everything But the Girl, Human Sexual Response, Barrence Whitfield & Mambo Jambo, Screaming Blue Messiahs, Guadacanal Diary, Game Theo…

Shh - I'm pretending that this isn't the last day of my vacation - it's Sunday, after all. Had a good time - went up to Rockland, ME for a couple of days, and communed with nature. More next week.
It's Sunday (again…

I'm taking a vacation - finally. It's been a long time since I've had a full week off. We may go somewhere as well for a couple of days - weird in this new world. It's not a great time for me to be out at work - I've been doing tons of stuff to m…

So, one understands nothing damaging without a very enormous signifier.

Part 2 of 1970's best music. We're focusing on soul music in this one. We had new bands (the Jackson Five, old artists breaking away from bands (Diana Ross), and other stars stepping up (Stevie Wonder, etc.). It was just a very fertile time.

I keep reminding myself not to get excited about the return of football. Sports have been a welcome distraction in this time of staying home all the time. But while I've enjoyed the NBA bubble success, the same can't be said about baseball.

A Federal holiday since 1894, Labor Day celebrates the American Labor movement, which includes unions (trade unionists fought to get a day set aside for laborers). Really, it's the end of the summer celebration. Schools are starting back up, and …

1970 was a great year for music. The post-Woodstock hangover hadn't quite hit yet - most of this music was probably recorded during 1969, before the hangover, or even in 1970, when the realization that it was the end of an era hadn't occurred. Wh…

The world can be a terrible place—shootings, hurricanes, the pandemic – bad. So my mantra for today is enjoy yourself and have fun – we’ll get back to the bad things later.
Enjoy yourself with these tunes from these …

One thing that's seemed normal to me this summer is the laziness that seems to spread over late summer. Is it the numerous hot days that lead to this, or is there some other effect that causes my torpor? I start putting off tasks I should take ca…

Weather broke so the weekend’s not too hot. It’s temporary, though - we’ll be back in the high 80’s by the middle of the week. I’ll take the brief respite.
Not sure what we can do - pressure the politicians to do something- but let’s save t…

It’s another Owen weekend – too busy to do much, as he wants to help, but really, what does an 8-month baby know about writing? Probably as much as me.
So, to hold off the baby from taking over the writing, we’ll soothe him with music from …

Check another month off the 2020 calendar. July’s done – how will this August be? As hot as July? Right now the forecast is for the weather to be in the 80’s – quite a comedown from the 90s that dominated July. That’ll be a nice change.
I’…

Hi - let's check the weather report - Hot hot, hot with Thunderstorms, hot, hot - it's summer. Enjoy while you can and how you can. And as the nag says, be safe - wear masks in stores and in what could be crowded areas. It's not too much to ask. …

Hi - we went up North to do some hiking in the White Mountains National Forest. We didn't have a set trail to walk on - we were just looking for one that wasn't too busy. Unfortunately, thousands of people descended on the White Mountains Nationa…
