boo... I have always been here before

Ok not sure anyone is reading this.. that's not really the point.

I haven't been posting consistently for a while..

It hasn't been on the top of my list of things to do.. and I am not sure what I want to be saying here currently.


The truth seems to be that blog fade.. and wane and all of that..

but I got an alert asking if I still wanted e-mails when someone leave a comment..

so this post is really just to keep the blog site alive..

My you tube channel

Pretty much these days I do the video blog thing over at youtube.. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCG8B9UzFqKkpkygHesiv3fQ

here's my latest

The Jet Black Berries - Macumba Love

The Jet Black Berries - from their Sundown on Venus album... very much in the vein of the Cramps or the Gun Club.. check it out.

5 months later....

and I am back to just note... as I noted before that I am still doing the podcast thing, and the youtube thing... I am still out there...

Youtube Channel and podcasts

While it has been a long while since I have posted anything big here I have been busy with a couple of things..


1st I have been filling in on episodes of the Love That Album podcast...

most recently John Ross from the Feed My Ears facebook page and I covered a album from the band Screaming Trees and the Mad Season album from 1995.

so this time around, just a round up of other places I have been doing stuff... but if you stop by thanks for doing so... and at some point I will get back to the blogging.

still ... still ... still

it's been a while since I have updated this blog. I am still here, and I still have plans.. but it's that time, energy and having a half way thought out and considered something to say..  so sooner or later I will have a new post.

Day Dream Albums- Alejandro Escovedo

Day Dream Albums- Alejandro Escovedo 

Note: if you want to know what this is all about check out my intro post…

Alejandro Escovedo is and artist who it took me some time to get into.. Which is strange cause I have been a fan of his earlier bands, The Nuns and Rank & File for a long time. He’s that rare animal of today’s music scene who can both rock out and also comfortably sit in with the roots rock set. It’s the mix of Glam, Punk, Folk and Country that makes him something more than just another aging punk headed towards the roots rock world.  All of which is to say if I got to work with him on a covers album, these are the songs I would bring to the table.

Drivin’n’Cryin – Toy Never Played with

Jet Black Berries- Fatherly Advice

King’s X- Summerland
