What I Listened To In A Year Part 18
Everything is slowing down. Kind of. The panic has all but gone. And while I can now focus on things I’m finding that I need to have almost too much going on. It’s as if my brain just needs to spin at this ridiculous speed constantly. I’ve taken to calling this squirreling. I flit from… — read more

I bought the magnificent Queens Of The Stone Age 2002 album Songs For The Deaf because Dave Grohl was on drums. I firmly believe that he should be banned from doing anything other than drumming.

In a previous entry I (rightfully) claimed that Semi-Detached by Therapy? was the greatest album of 1998. This is a claim that I stand by but I had to fact check just to see what I was putting it up against and saw an album that I adore but one that I didn’t find until… — read more

1998 was the worst year of my life. 1998 was the worst year of my life so far. My very first actual girlfriend was pregnant, swore me to secrecy and then dumped me. I wasn’t there for the birth as I was in bed with another girl. I didn’t see my daughter until she was… — read more
