Speaking of music… before we begin, a plug – please give a listen to my new radio home WBKM.org – I’m on weekdays at Noon! Onward… Ethereal. Love that word. Been getting a little too much use lately, however. It’s not a rugged word, one must treat it delicately, like gossamer and meringue. I blame…

OK – no new Song of the Day Spotlight today, but for a very good reason – I’m prepping for my first show at my new stomping grounds, WBKM.org! I’m getting into internet radio with a station that founder Tony Gallucci helped shepherd through the last 10 years, building an impressive musical entity. Now, I’m…

The Moondoggies new album A Love Sleeps Deep came out last Friday (4/13/18). It’s brilliant! Mesmerizing and perfect in so many ways… have to review the whole album soon. They are their own thing, have their own sound, yet follow in the footsteps of pre-Dark Side Pink Floyd and the psychedelic Bay Area bands of…

Posted the first of these earlier tonight. Not sure how often I’ll do ’em, but given I’m just starting, thought another one right off might not be so bad. Already know for sure who my first four of these are about, anyway. Lead the series with Jon Anderson and Roine Stolt. Now, let me introduce…

It was a pretty good year, despite Hurricane/Tropical Storm Irene’s attempt to wash some of Vermont off the map. Pop culture-wise, while much was cringe-worthy there were some real gems – take Game of Thrones, for example. I think it’s the first time a TV series got me reading a book series – and both…
