Beautiful McMansions on a Hill, That Overlook a Highway July 24, 2007 No Comments

My new radio station, it’s really not that bad. I was going to sit down and really think about what it means to have a support staff that follows you mentally, thanks for all the nice emails, asking what’s up, giving updates, etc, etc. Short response, I like the job a lot, I hate San [...]

Your Girl was Trickin’ While you was Draped in your County Blues June 5, 2007 No Comments

This video just made my MONTH, easily my favorite youtube video I’ve ever seen in my many hours of surfing! Ben takes a gansta rap song, converts into a sincere white boy tune, now redone by an A Cappella group at UC Berkeley, talk about the power of one man’s binding and integration-al influence.

Tell Your Friends The Things They Wanna Hear and See, Start the Drums, Band Against the Enemy February 1, 2007 2 Comments

The last of the embarrassing pictures from the past. This one from the bicycle rodeo when I was in the first grade, you see my sisters were ‘cool middle school’ kids, and they didn’t want me to participate, they were thinking I was going to make a fool out of myself, hence make a fool [...]

Stop the Bus, I Wanna Be Lonely, When Seconds Pass Slowly and Years Go Flying By November 4, 2006 No Comments

For the hip people, Ben Folds will say, ‘make me feel small if it makes you feel big, but there’s always someone cooler than you.’ I saw Ben in 1995, when he was an ‘up and comer’, 11 years later, he’s playing a sold out show at Stubbs BBQ supporting the release of his ‘B-sides [...]

Closing in on the Pain and the Torture November 3, 2006 No Comments

Cynical times, yes indeed, but for a minute here I’d like to transition this cynicism into hope. This means not dwelling on politics, religion, hormones, work, personalities and all other things that potentially drag me down on a day to day basis. While still being engaged with this evils, there’s good people fighting the good [...]

Leaf by Leaf and Page by Page, Throw this Book Away October 29, 2006 No Comments

I’ve never been much for Halloween, like many say, its an excuse for chicks to wear slutty outfits. Mike D and I venture out to Natedoggs party only to find we are the only people at the party without an outfit. I guess I could say, I’m standard Robert Bruns, plain ol’ street trash. Low [...]

Take a Good Swing at All My Dreams, They Pivot and Slip, I Drop my Fists and They’re Back — Laughing April 15, 2006 No Comments

A beautiful scene this evening straight from Ashley’s house. Ashley and Howard dance swing in the living room. Among other things, Howard and I talked about the Queen vs The Beatles musicals in Vegas, various sites around Munich, beer (always an excellent selection in the house), and the finer points of guitar effect pedals, especially [...]

My My My, there’s nothing better for the soul than a loving handful of Ben Folds for the weekend. For people who are in tune with him, we share an amazing bond. With that being said, The city where I call home is in tune with this musical brilliance. It’s amazing the difference a city [...]

Ben Folds – Grand Prairie / DFW November 20, 2005 1 Comment

Since I’m going to see Ben tomorrow in Austin, I’ll save all the sentimental jargon for the post tomorrow. Tonight the stage is set, the Nokia Theatre in Grand Prairie. Grand Prairie, where the hell is that? This place, from what I understand, replaces the ‘Bronco Bowl’, a place in which I have fond memories, [...]
