Around August or so of last year, I started running in the mornings before work. I got quite regular with it, running a few miles every morning with the idea that I’d lose some weight, and maybe sign up for a 5k or something like that. Then it got cold outside, and I [...]
In this short episode, I talk about how I interpret the difference between good and bad music. Specifically, I try to answer the question, “What makes good music and bad music?” I don’t know that I have a real answer, but here’s the 7-or-8 minute rant with an instrumental I recorded six or seven years [...]
I’ve had a hankering for a long time to write occasional music reviews. I’ve never really had a good avenue to do that, and since I’ve started this blog with the intention of keeping its topics pretty much wide open, I think it’s time to open things up for bands that might not otherwise get [...]

Here are a few pics I snapped this weekend that have to do with rock and roll. Nothing too complicated or thoughtful here, just some quick point-and-shoots at some gear.
How’s that for a wonderful podcast title? To be fair, it pretty much sums up the impetus behind this podcast, so there’s that. Whatevs.
This is, as you might have guessed, the first episode of this podcast. Here’s what lies within: Part of writing Five Satellites required me to think a whole lot about the music [...]
I’m in a band called Koan. We were around from 1997-2001, and then took sort of a long break while most of us went to school, got married, and essentially got into average-joe-working-stiff life.
