Incubus-Love Hurts

I know Incubus isn't exactly underground music so they shouldn't be one of my songs of the week, but I can't help it. I love Incubus. They make some really good music. Their album Morning View is one of my all-time favorite albums. Their newest album, Light …

Deltron 3030- 3030

This is an excellent song from Deltron 3030, a group comprised of Del the Funkee Homosapien, Dan the Automator, and Kid Koala. The album is a concept album that is set in the year 3030 and tells of Del's alter ego, Deltron Zero, fight against huge corporations that …

G Love- Missing My Baby

This week's song is by an artist named G Love. I know what you're thinking, that name sound incredibly lame. It sounds like a cheesy rapper from the '80's. Don't let the name fool you. G Love has been making great music for years with his band Special Sauce. His …

My Birthday

So, my birthday is coming up on April 6th. My sister Lisa keeps bugging me asking me what I want. I have no idea. There is nothing at the top of my head that I want. I have no ideas for her. I could go with the generic gift card to Best Buy or somewhere, but I …

Great Movies You Probably Didn't See

There are so many good movies that have come out that most people didn't see. It's a shame that these movies don't get more recognition or bigger releases because they are much better than what's at every corner movie theater. I mean, come on, The Hills Have Eyes 2? …

Wax Tailor-To Dry Up

I know I've done a Wax Tailor track for the song of the week before, but I had to do another one because, well, he's a damn good producer. Also, because his new album, Hope and Sorrow, comes out today. I have the album and, while it's not as good as his near-perfect …

24 Years Ago...

24 years ago today, I was born. So was Mike Goodspeed, my old high school friend. So make sure you wish him a happy birthday as well. Tonight we're going to the Big Bang piano bar in downtown St. Louis.

Television Gluttony

While in college I never really watched any traditional programming. I was either too busy working, writing papers, studying, or going out to watch programs on TV regularly. Since out of college, I have become a glutton with TV. Don't get me wrong, I don't spend all …

A Literary Legend Passes

A literary legend has passed. Kurt Vonnegut, Jr. died last night. He was 84 years old. Slaughterhouse-Five, God Bless You, Mr. Rosewater, and Breakfast of Champions were my favorite books by Mr. Vonnegut. I happened to be re-reading Breakfast of Champions this week. …

J. Davis Trio-Orange Alert

The song of the week this week is by a great jazz and hip hop band from Chicago called the J. Davis Trio. They are an excellent band and their album, The New No. 2 is fantastic. Go check them out at their site here. Their sound is smooth and laid back jazz with some …

Ivan Tucakov- Cinnabar Mix

This song is a very good song from the album Café del Mar - Volumen 13. Ivan Tucakov is a world music composer, guitarist, producer and promoter currently living in Vancouver, Canada. The song is a great example of Latin jazz and it really showcases Tucakov as a …

Didn't Get It

I didn't blog about it before, but a few weeks ago I had an interview with the principal of a new high school that was built and will be opening in the fall. They had one position for Social Studies. I didn't get the job. So, I'm still searching far and wide.

A New Computer

Within the next month or two I hope to get a new computer. This one is on it's last leg. It really has a hard time doing a lot of the basic tasks it used to do quite well. It still only has 512mb or ram when applications are demanding more. Try having an instance …

Quite Strange

I was driving to the grocery store to pick up some cereal when I noticed the bike lanes on the right side of the road. I've noticed these for a long time, they weren't new to me, but what I did notice was that there were arrows pointing on them. Normally, I would …

My First Cards/Cubs Game

My wonderful friend Heather and her fiance had an extra ticket to the game today and invited me to go along. It was the first time I've been to a Cardinals v. Cubs game. The tickets for these series sell out quickly, so I've never been able to go in the past. It was …
