Boa Drum 3/18/8

Went to see the Boredoms at the Fillmore the other night. Opening were Human Bell, who played slow blues-influenced mostly-instrumentals, apart from their last number, which randomly had guest vocalization by Will Oldham (!). Made me think of My Morning Jacket meets The Black Keys, although more sedate than either. Then came some boring [...]

and now for something completely different.

In 1993, my first band Dyn@mutt went on its first tour. I believe we were excited that it was a multi-state tour, even though the total number of states were two: Texas and New Mexico. We toured with our friends in Seed. A star-studded lineup of two bands that nobody outside of Houston had [...]

My final post for NAP

Good morrow. it is 4:24am and I just got back from my requisite Menil walk which as many know is my way of walking off the booze when I’ve had too much. Much love to my friend in San Fransisco who was good enough to respond to my text teases for being lame and [...]

I Was Halfway Through My Third Bowl of Jell-O

There have been some minor crises here at NAP in the last week precipitated by the departure of one of our contributors and the ensuing email storm that followed seems to have taken our founder out as well.  It also made me seriously consider whether I want to continue this weekly exercise of trying [...]

Week 74: Ladies

This past week, things have gotten a bit heavy around here. When I am told to “lighten up just a wee bit” by Mr. Cramer, who I consider one of the heaviest guys around, then I know I’m sinking into some heavy territory. I blame the moon.

So instead of trying to write [...]

On the Psychology of Music Listening

Hello,I am guest posting for Mr. Wednesday as he is detained out of the city for the time being.

So we’ll give it a go. All I could think to write about was me and my music experiences, and luckily this Thin Lizzy stuff is feeding right into it. So, read on if you [...]

The Thin Lizzy Appreciation Society

I grew up with rock radio. I couldn’t avoid it, and for many, many years, I didn’t try to either. In retrospect, It’s hard to imagine or to understand what it was about me that kept me bound so painfully to a medium that in all honestly left me feeling empty and hungry. I [...]

NAPcast 61 Thin Lizzy

As I mention in the intro, I really wanted to have more time to put together a Thin Lizzy cast that I could really get behind. I am still behind this one, I just wish I could have brought you more.

Any volunteers for future host gigs? I’m always listening.

I’m a [...]

happy Easter!

I saw Immortal this week. I may write something longer about Norwegians in greasepaint playing black metal at a later date, but Easter feels an odd day to discuss it.

In lieu of that, here is some happy Sesame Street footage.

Okay, a bit more. The guys I saw Thursday night [...]
