The tale of how we spent out Seattle vacation continues. The saga of the first four days can be found here. For the rest of the trip in all it’s glory, continue on, oh my humble and dear readers…
Saturday September 5
After a year of waiting, today was finally the first real day of the 2009 [...]
Today’s Terrific Tune is simple, catchy, light, likable, and upbeat. But I’m going to feature it anyway! Ha! It’s Eric Hutchinson (learn more, web site) doing his song “OK, It’s Allright With Me”, in the official video. The song is short and charming. And the video has a really nice look to it. We saw [...]
What we did on a summer vacation, the first four days anyway…
We recently went to Seattle for a week, as we have done over Labor Day for the last nine or so years. The big attraction is the Bumbershoot Music and Arts Festival. It’s a three day festival with entertainment on about 15 stages, plus a [...]
Panic At The Disco (learn more, web site) is a puzzling band. Their first album (A Fever You Can’t Sweat Out) was a collection of unique, hook-filled, catchy, fast-paced modern rockers with clever lyrics as a big bonus. Some of the songs seemed a bit repetitive but the hooks were so good that you just [...]

Yes I did. On September 9, the Beatles Reissue CDs came out. All the CDs were remastered for better sound than the previous 20+ year-old CD versions. You can buy them separately or in the big box set. Actually there area two box sets, one stereo and one very-limited mono. The mono box went out [...]

Today’s Terrific Tune comes with sadness. On September 11th, rock/punk poet, singer, songwriter, and musician Jim Carroll died. (obit) Most people, if [...]

Today’s Terrific Tune is from the 80s. As with every decade, there was a lot of good music then and a whole lot of crap too. But this is a good one. You must have seen this video back in the day, it was pretty popular. It’s Thomas Dolby and his big hit “She Blinded Me With [...]
