Beck Gave Me COVID…

Posted on April 21, 2022May 22, 2022 by LBDG

…and it’s nobody’s fault but my own. After 2 years of doing all the right careful things as a good citizen, the allure of a solo acoustic Beck show during SXSW was too good to pass up. I’m vaxxed and boosted. I’ve worn a mask indoors and generally avoided indoor venues/dining for the whole pandemic….

Three Leap Years Later

Posted on February 29, 2020February 29, 2020 by LBDG

Hello, friends. Remember me? It’s been awhile. Aside from the annual year-end (and occasional event based) music lists this blog hasn’t seen much action. Not to overpromise, but I’m hoping that will change a little this year. Timely Persuasion was released on 2/29/08, making today the book’s third or twelfth birthday depending on how you…

Rocktober Recap

Posted on November 2, 2014 by LBDG

I know I go to more concerts than the average person. But October was nuts even for me. Let me count the ways… October 1 – The Felice Brothers at the Roxy The Felices are my wife’s favorite band, and have come to hold a special place in my heart too.  Their show was a…

Ramblings VIII

Posted on May 31, 2014July 4, 2014 by LBDG

I mentioned before that I’ve only had 3 favorite albums in my lifetime. A three day stretch in April had me revisiting the whole Nirvana catalogue for the 20th Anniversary, the release of 6 new Benji Hughes songs, and the announcement of a new Mike Doughty album. Synergy is cool. In that awesome Vulture article…

Ramblings VII

Posted on July 6, 2013November 3, 2013 by LBDG

Another long absence from blogging means it’s time to invoke the ghosts of Pearl Jam Xmas singles past for some random thoughts: Found this Kickstarter campaign for a documentary about the Back to the Future trilogy told through the eyes of the DeLorean Time Machine. Plan is to have it debut in time for the 30th…

Year Zero

Posted on August 25, 2012 by LBDG

Recently finished reading Year Zero by Rob Reid and mostly dug it.  Learned about the book via this headline on the All Songs Considered Blog: Aliens Have Landed, Hoping To License All Of Humanity’s Music Gets a little wacky and a little campy at times, but overall it’s a heck of a fun ride.  I…

RIP Johnny Pesky

Posted on August 13, 2012 by LBDG

Sad day for Red Sox Nation.  In honor of the man who didn’t hold the ball, I’m reposting the deleted “lost” chapter to Timely Persuasion set at the 1946 World Series, plus the accompanying commentary. Deleted Scenes: Pesky Held the Ball? Commentary 7.5: Seven and a Half Cents So long, #6.  This one’s for you.

Googlewhack

Posted on April 12, 2012September 20, 2012 by LBDG

Paraphrasing Ben Acker: “You’ve never seen a Googlewhack; now you own one.” (This entry happens to land on April 12th, whack…)

His Name Is My Name Too

Posted on December 24, 2011 by LBDG

Stumbled onto this Twitter user the other day: (Warning: link is somewhat NSFW) Not sure exactly what to make of this.  An imposter?  A fan of Timely Persuasion?  Schizophrenia?  A time traveling other me?  Or maybe just a bona fide coincidence? He hasn’t made any updates in over a year, but from what’s there we…
