You know, you wake up and don’t have to mow the lawn or anything. Sweet Saturday – hey, let’s go…are you still sleeping? Yo! It’s quarter to 7, 1/2 the day is gone – let’s GO! I can’t believe she still expects to sleep on the weekends. She can sleep when she’s dead just like […]

The Boy was Mowing the Lawn, Jazz was Playing
It was, what – 2 hours ago. I was doin’ stuff: on the phone, working on a POS windows laptop 10 years past its prime, and working a site and jazz was playing in the room. All over the room. I’m in my office. Back door wide open so I can see all sorts of […]
Sonny Rollins Quartet – Saxophone Colossus
My wife suprised me some years ago with her joy of this album. To be fair, she only admitted to enjoying St. Thomas, but for a hip-hop chick of the late ’90s, that was something. When she confessed to liking Sonny Rollins I liked her even more. I bought the cd some time in the […]

Just a Random Vinyl Related Post
And I’ll get back to it in a minute, but first, I wanted to respond to this: “The cover art is too small,” we sneered. “How are you supposed to clean your pot on that?” It’s from this article and it’s a terrific article. I laughed out loud reading that line because I thought the […]
Combustication – The Groove-Madness by Medeski, Martin, Wood, and DJ Logic
WOOHOO!!!! Got my new copy of the just released Blue Note reissue of 1998’s Combustication by Medeski, Martin, & Wood. Blue Note is cashing in, like everyone else, and I’m getting mine. I have a few of the originals but not this one because in the ’90s it was all about cds. Sigh. OK, in […]
