BSidesNarrative’s Best of ’11 Playlist

December 15, 2011

(Musical highlight of my year: Telluride Blues & Brews Fest, Sept ’11)   Warning: This is a moody playlist. I’m talking post-rock meets folk-rock meets country-folk meets electronica meets hip-hop instrumental meets lyrics-that’ll-knock-you-flat-on-your-ass.

up a hill without a diaper

March 7, 2011

Let’s face it: we’re good. Four months in and we’ve got this parenthood gig down. We even know Charlie’s cries: The Whine and Cheese Cry – a simple annoyance. Kid’s bored and needs a good belly tickle, a foot rub, or a stroll around the block. This is pure attention craving. The Do Your Job [...]
