Happy to be with me on the 4th of July…
Yesterday was the 4th of July and we did 4th of July-ish stuff. We swam in the pool, we cooked out.
Cooked out, not barbecued. Every time I turned on the tv yesterday I got the ‘all across America people will be barbecueing’ speel and then the film showed some guy throwing a burger on the grill. This is -NOT- barbecue. Barbecue involves sauces and rubs and slow cooking/basting. Tossing a piece of meat on the grill is -grilling-, not barbecue.
Having said that, we did not barbecue. (grin) We had burgers, smoked sausage and cold watermelon. Later we had ice cream. (essential for the 4th) Once it got dark, we hosed the front lawn down and Kahuna shot fireworks (we had some really cool ones this year) while the ‘Bit and I ran around with our sparklers.
I have a Cards game saved on Tivo I wanted to watch but Kahuna thought grilling and fireworks were enough ‘guy’ things for one day. (how can he not like baseball??)
I cut him some slack because he has been pretty guyish lately. His brother and sister-in-law are having a baby this fall and she told me they are naming her (the baby) Shelby. I tell Kahuna this and he gets this odd look on his face, then smiles and says “Oh cool, like the Mustang”.
*pounds head on desk*
Okay.
Gotta go, I have sparkler bits to clean up from the porch.

I have been trying to write the review for Blurred, by San Francisco singer/songwriter Alex Wise for a few months now but can’t seem to finish it. This is difficult for me to say but I get about halfway through the process and find myself so homesick I just can’t continue. The past few years have been full [...] - Arc & Stones…

Now that Scooter is back sleeping nights I proclaim this ’dig myself out from under the mountain of un-reviewed music‘ week. Kicking off the week o’reviewing is Arc & Stones, the debut EP from Brooklyn band Arc & Stones. The guys are Dan Pellarin (vocals), Ben Cramer (guitar), Joe Doino (drums) and Eddy Bayes (bass).

So, I was in the mood for some blues and whoosh – blues appeared. Other people get coupons, bills and news updates in the mail while I get blues music. Cool new blues music in the form of the debut release Telegraph Taboo from the Chicago-based band Nick and the Ovorols. This is not a pretty album. The vocals on a few tracks [...] -
