Today is a pretty day as long as you're looking out from inside the house because it's cold, and that dilutes the pretty. No drips from the roof and no melting of the weekend's snow despite the bright sun is a sign of how cold it is. I had to walk through fairly deep snow to get my newspaper, but my plowman just arrived and shoveled the walk, freed my car and made the mailbox accessible for the mail truck tomorrow. I may go out later, but then again I'm liking the warm house. When I was a [...]

Sometimes looks like a futuristic sci-fi kinda movie. And I love it.

It was only 5:00 when I reluctantly dragged myself out of bed. I am not a fan of this early in the morning. It is too reminiscent of my working days when every morning started in the dark, but I can now see a tiny glimmer of the morning light in the gray sky and that makes me glad. It is as if I never went anywhere. My town, where I grew up, has three churches on three street corners across from each other. The Catholic church is two blocks down the street. Both funeral homes [...]

Brisbane has never truly been accepted as a hive of cultural progression with the same enthusiasm as Australia’s other great cities, and this is particularly true when discussion turns to music. To me, this has always been perplexing: Brisbane has played home to some of Australia’s biggest indie game changers. Don’t believe me? Well, first of all, you should be ashamed of yourself, naysayer . Second of all, I submit for your consideration THE GO-BETWEENS , one of the most important bands of the Eighties and Nineties at home and abroad. [...]

The weather prediction is for cloudy and maybe rainy through Sunday. A couple of sunless days don't bother me, but a string of them makes me lethargic. I loll around the house with little ambition. A sunny day gets me active and the floors get washed, the cabinets cleaned and the world looks to be a better place. Later, I'll drag myself upstairs to shower and make my bed. They will give me some small sense of accomplishment. We lived in what was called the project. The houses were wooden duplexes, not brick and not high-rises, and there [...]

The day is chillier than it has been, more like the early spring we usually expect. The day started cloudy, but the sun is poking its way through the clouds. I've been watching a robin jump from the deck rail to the suet feeder where it fluttered its wings to stay long enough to grab a bite then it settled back on the deck to munch. Right now the robin has just finished eating and is standing on the rail with its face to the sun taking in the day. Maddie wanted down the cellar this morning so [...]

He hails from East Central Fresno, but has spent time in San Francisco, San Jose, and Honolulu. He makes music starting with old records, then samples them and manipulates them like an audio collage.

This beat tape was created using an Akai MPC 3000, Ensoniq ASR 10, Logic, MV-8000, Technic turntables and stacks upon stacks of records. It [...]
