Apologies for yet another repost tonight, folks; at the eleventh hour, I find myself unable to shake a new bout of high-pitched tinnitus and ear-blockage, this time in my left ear. Listening to music is once again like trying to hear the good stuff underwater, and surrounded by keening whales. Making claims about music right now would be plumb dishonest. Spending the afternoon at the doctor's office - a visit which involved snaking a very long tube all the way through my sinuses and up to the [...]
After owning pinball tables since I was seventeen or eighteen, and the two I have now for over twenty years, I'm finally going to sell one of them... it was going to be both, but the promise of a new place with adequate space, has made me decide to let my Fathom go now, and hang onto the Eight Ball Deluxe a while, then see what pans out - hopefully I'll get back into playing again, and if not - well, they do look pretty cool, right?. I never gave pinballs more than a glance until 1981, when [...]

Apologies for the eleventh-hour entry, folks. I waited all weekend, hoping that my ear troubles would dissipate, but alas, it seems I am doomed to suffer the double distraction of deafness and tinnitus for a while longer. Happily, my ability to hear and appreciate live music was not as compromised as I feared. I spent a practically ecstatic Saturday afternoon at this year's Boston Celtic Music Festival , and I'm still glowing from both the music and the experience of folk-as-communion which was so prevalent [...]

Just a little bit of down home fun for you on this fine Friday. The band's called The Loose Acoustic Trio and yes, you guessed it, that's the trio in the picture. They're putting out an album titled Sorrow Be Gone on May 20th, and although I haven't had a chance to check out the entire album, I did get lucky enough to check out their cover of the classic Who song Pinball Wizard . As covers go, this one is simply brilliant. It takes a song that everyone [...]
If you know what Cover Choon Thursday is, than I owe you some thanks, as it means you've been reading the various incarnations of this site for a long time. If you don't know what it is, you're forgiven, because even in its heyday (and you really can't call it that), I could scarcely remember to do it when Thursday rolled around. Nonetheless, I will do my best to revive it, as I have a great weakness for good cover songs, as many of us do . Today's fun comes straight outta Sacramento and the old timey sound of [...]
