The Clash: Julie's Been Working For The Drug Squad [ purchase ] No one said anything about honest work when this theme was introduced, did they?
Van Morrison: I've Been Working [ purchase ] I've been in a massive Van Morrison mood now for a whole month. His Band..., Moondance, Hard Nose The Highway, St. Dominick's Preview, and Tupelo Honey have been spinning almost constantly. So, for now this is my favorite work song on the planet. This is Van The Man getting funky. So, hit that Play button and get your groove on!
The Isley Brothers : Work To Do [ purchase ] Work To Do to finds the Isley Brothers in a transitional stage. In the 60s, they were a standard issue R&B band, complete with "doo wap" choruses. But during the 70s, while adding a younger crop of Isley instrumentalists, they became more socially conscience, with songs like Fight The Power and The Pride. Oh I'm out here trying to make it, baby can't you see It takes a lot of money to make it, [...]
Dolly Parton: 9 To 5 [ purchase ] I thought I would get this one out of the way! It was bound to come up, as we all feel like this sometimes, right?
Yesterday's day off really allowed me to be productive in a variety of ways: I finished the first two 'Thank You' care packages, I launched more eBay auctions to help trim the fat from my record collection, I visited a local eatery I have always wanted to try, and took care of at least five other items that were on my mental to-do list. Every day should be like yesterday. I guess it would have been better if I'd gotten a job or something, but that day will come soon, I hope. Being productive with one's [...]
What is there to do on a Sunday? I get home from work (after putting in almost two hours of overtime) and everyone's gone to Sunset Junction to hear shitty bands and eat/drink price-gouged food/drinks. It's dead quiet in the apartment, there's no furniture or anything here since the old roommates moved out, and I'm contemplating laying on the floor and closing my eyes for a while. Unfortunately, the weird bug bites on my ankles make it so I'm not interested in putting my face anywhere near the carpets, at least not until we're certain there isn't anything [...]
by bmac Warm Up is an acclaimed summer music series that goes down each Saturday (from July 5-Sept 6) at the P.S. 1 Contemporary Art Center in Long Island City, Queens. Each year P.S. 1 holds a design contest where one lucky architecture firm gets to transform their courtyard into a funky venue for a weekly 7-hour pregame from 2-9pm. This year's winning team, WORK , went the green-route and created an urban farm out of large cardboard tubes. There's a $10 [...]
For the last decade or so, and up until the last couple of months, my work in science has been in academia's ivory towers. Working as an academic, particularly as a student or post-doc with little responsibility for bringing in grant money, allows for a lot of high minded philosophizing (hence the Ph), grand rhetoric and remarkably little gray for all the black and white. For example, not so long ago I wrote in response to a post by cyber-friend Maggie about animal research. In the post, I zealously defended the ethics [...]
If you happen to be visiting this humble corner of the internet based on JC's words of high praise (made even more flattering by the fact that I consider The Vinyl Villain the platinum standard of music blogs), I'd like to apologize for not bringing my "A" game at the present time. In a rare reversal of the Armagideon Time status quo, I have a backlog of workable post ideas, yet very little time to execute them because of things currently going on at the day job. I'm juggling the prep work for a [...]
"Get some lunch, play a little Saints Row , maybe catch a matinee showing of The Dark Knight ." I wish I had a sivanium robot doppelgänger for days like today. Since that's not likely to happen, I'll just have to put my nose to the grindstone and dig out from under all by my lonesome. At least I'll have some velvet soul and shambolic cowpunk to keep me company in my hour of need. Clarence Carter - Slip Away (from This Is Clarence Carter [...]
photo credit: wageslaves Happy Monday (ok, still Sunday night to us Yanks, don't let's brag about it eh?) Even tho the Tart doesn't have to get up and clock in tomorrow I still have sympathy for all you out there who do. And organizing my music a bit tonight I found this dreamy Elvis Costello tune that just took me back to my youth, to the good days of summer, laying in bed listening to the radio and hoping to hear a track from My Aim Is True . Often [...]
You've got to love happy endings. In what could be Dr. O'C's final post here on A Free Man, we get just that... At some point my attitude to motherhood started to improve. I don't know when that happened, but it did. I am a better mum than I thought I would be. For the first few months, I would tell Z that I loved him, over and over but I don't really think I meant it. I said it more to convince myself of that fact. I know that I was meant to feel [...]
Octa Push é o projeto Live PA de Dizzycutter e Mushug . Esses dois irmãos de Portugal formam uma dupla de muito talento, apresentando ao vivo sonoridades dançantes que ficam entre o Techno, o 2-Step e o Kuduru. O significado do nome, ao contrário do que as pessoas pensam, não tem nada a ver com polvos ou "octopus". "Octa Push é basicamente a nossa forma de produzir, apertar a oitava no teclado", explica Mushug. [...]
I. Am. Tired. The two job situation in which I find myself has ramped up to the point that I actually have to do two proper jobs. Properly. I spent nearly eight hours teaching yesterday and while my acquantainances who are real teachers may snort derisively, that's a lot of teaching for a slack university lecturer. Worse, it's a lot of me for my unfortunate students. My lecturing style is a lot like my writing style - long winded, unnecessarily pedantic and filled with asides that only I find interesting. Imagine if [...]
I have 3.5 weeks of leave (not counting Federal Holidays or my every other friday off) to burn by the first week of January. There's some bonuses about selling my soul to the government, I tell you.
RIDE TOGETHER, DIE TOGETHER. ...and just like that, it's all over. It's not like I didn't accomplish anything during this past week or so. I built a compost bin. I finally managed to get the patio table out of the basement and onto the patio. I bought a ton of retro-junk that will almost certain figure into upcoming posts. I got to enjoy New England's first monsoon season (not that Al Gore is right about global warming or anything) from the comfort and safety of my home in the Woburn Highlands. [...]

(from Howard Chaykin's American Flagg! v1 #2, collected in this handy forthcoming omnibus ) The life of a retrologist may be spiritually rewarding, but it doesn't really pay well...or pay at all, actually. To meet my many and varied financial obligations, as well as to support my useless crap habit, I also work as a flagman for data streams at a public university. It's a perfect job in many ways. It's unionized, pays well, and is generally low stress -- barring the occasional meltdown on the IT end of things. The [...]
Dr. O'C is the latest member of A Free Man's household to crack the job market. After what will be nearly a year in the purgatory of stay-at-home motherhood (she would quite possibly use a different word), Dr. O'C will re-join the ranks of the gainfully employed next month. This is the latest in a string of successes in our new Antipodean home and reflects one of the reasons that we came down here. And looking at things as a whole, and knocking exuberantly on wood, things are going pretty good in our new home. A fellow American in [...]
