Concert Review: BEAT at the Quarry Amphitheatre, Santa Cruz, CA
Ok kids, this one was a show for the ages. I don’t even know where to start… I suppose a little background is in order, to explain my pre-conceived expectations and bias! If you’ve never heard of BEAT, you’re not alone. And it was a curious choice of a name, considering we have The English…
Insightful
Just happened upon this today by random chance, and thought it was quite insightful. Thought I should share…. Personally, I think a few of those attributes fit me, I’m certainly not just one. But at this ripe old age, I’ve seen enough to know this is a pretty accurate description of a lot of folks…
Concert Review: Dogstar at the Fillmore Auditorium, San Francisco, CA
Here we go again folks, Dogstar is back in town, roughly 4 months into their All In Now tour, which has taken them across the U.S.A., over to Europe for weeks on end, then back across the States once again. This is maybe the 7th Concert Review of Dogstar on this blog, and I don’t…
Concert Review: Aneesa Strings at Yoshi’s, Oakland CA
Tonight was something special. And unexpected… The Mrs. introduced me to Aneesa Strings some time ago, and I thought she was cool – I mean, who doesn’t dig a woman with an upright bass and a great voice? But honestly, it didn’t exactly knock me out. Not in the way that I’d actively seek out…
Concert Review: Public Image Limited at The Rio Theater, Santa Cruz, CA
This one was a long time coming folks. As a youth, a tender Freshman in High School, I was introduced to the Sex Pistols and it was one of those musical events that absolutely changed my life. I had already been turned onto College Radio by that time, but the Pistols’ Never Mind the Bollocks…
The End of a (Short) Era
Today was my last day at my “new” job. Although I didn’t plan it out this way, my last day is EXACTLY one year apart from my first day at this place – August 28, 2025 to August 28, 2026. I have never, and I do mean never, held a job as an adult for…
Changing Tastes…
I’m not sure what’s happening to me, but lately I find my taste in music has been changing drastically. So many of the songs I’ve enjoyed, loved even, over the last decade, I can’t even listen to anymore. It’s kinda disconcerting. I’ve always been a lover of music. All kinds of music. And certainly my…
Eh, Probably for the best…
Today I got a notice from Reddit stating my account has been banned for 3 days, due to my breaking of “Rule 1” That’s right, the Boring Old Man has been accused of threatening or encouraging violence! Here’s the question I answered that brought the hammer down: My answer to said question was “Better Off…
A SLO Weekend
This weekend the Mrs and I headed South to visit some of our oldest friends. Our destination was Templeton, CA located in San Luis Obispo (SLO) County, which is commonly referred to as the “Central Coast” region of California. A region near and dear to my heart. I have a lot of great memories of…
Ok, That’s Pretty Cool…
Seeing how this blog is primarily a place for me to jot down my personal memories and my occasional rant and/or rave, I’ve never paid all too much attention to my “stats” on this website, other than visitor count. But something caught my eye the other day – my stats page shows the country of…
