If you want to make a suggestion for me, put it in the [...]
She did it! My wife Petra ran in the 5k Race For The Arts tonight. And she did great! She even cut a few minutes off her expected time.
There’s more info about her and why she ran the race in my blog post the other day. Check it out. But the important thing is that she [...]
And it goes like this:
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday, Petra B
Happy birthday to you!
Nice song, huh? I didn’t write it. But I wanted to publicly wish her a great, great, wonderful day, today and everyday. I love her a lot.
As much as can be…
Today’s Terrific Tune is a deadpan funky version of the classic disco song “I Will Survive”. But wait! Disco, you say? I know, I hate disco too! But don’t worry, this is not Gloria Gaynor. It’s my hometown Sacramento’s rock band Cake doing their unique version of the song. They have their own sound, thanks [...]
My wife and partner Petra B is running in the 5k Race For The Arts later this month. How about supporting her and helping a great charity at the same time? All donations to sponsor her will go to the Women’s Wisdom Project, an art program of Sacramento Food Bank & Family Services.
If you would like to donate make [...]
Today’s Terrific Tune is by an almost imaginary ”virtual” band, Gorillaz (learn more, it’s pretty interesting). Oh, it’s real music, but it’s not exactly the animated people that you see in the video playing it. It’s the brainchild of Blur’s Damon Albarn. Gorillaz is a side project that created a hugely popular and unlikely hit with [...]
How do you organize yours? Here’s what I do: First off, there are separate spaces for CDs, 12″ vinyl, 7″ vinyl, cassettes, picture discs, items bought but not listened to yet (I know, I know), and of course various extra-cool items are stood up on shelves for display. But within the types, what do you [...]
Earlier this month I asked for input about which artists (music and otherwise) I should see at this year’s Bumbershoot Music and Arts Festival. I also listed some of the artists that I am thinking of seeing. Well, Mama O posted her suggestions online on the blog, but millions of you a bunch of you wrote me via email. So, here [...]
If it’s Tuesday, this tune must be terrific. Today we feature an eerily beautiful song with an anti-war theme. It’s Kate Bush ’s video for “Army Dreamers” off her great Never For Ever album. That album is possibly my favorite by her, though I like most of her music quite a bit. More than just pop, [...]

Want to read the liner notes and song list for my Round 16 mix and bonus disc? It’s here along with some previous rounds as well. Check it out and let me know what you think in the comments below.
What is it? Well, Mixmasters is a long-running mix tape (now mix CD) exchange. It is [...]
Twenty six terrific tunes so far, not bad! All great too. Well, good at least. So today we go a ways back, to right around the breakup of the Talking Heads. Two of the Heads formed a new group called Tom Tom Club (learn more) to focus on light, fun music and this song is [...]
This might be good for a chuckle or four. Check out this list of our recently acquired music. Remember, any that you scoff at, we’ll blame on Petra! All the good ones are mine, I’m pretty sure…
Agent Ribbons “And The Star Crossed Doppelganger” 7″ green vinyl
Jewel “Serve The Ego” 12″ vinyl promo
Harrison, George [...]
