Jogging the memory… and boppin along.

Memories… good or bad are often triggered by some assault of the senses. It still amazes me how the sight of a photograph, the scent of a certain perfume. the special touch of the skin, the taste of a spice… can all`bring us back to a time, place and situation. This happened to me the other day when in a fleeting moment my ears caught a few bars of this song. It triggered a memory …

Fulton Thursday

Went to check out the Fulton Thursday tonight and caught a great set by 40 Watt Hype. I had seen them before and have always been impressed with their eclectic fusion they call Neo Hip-Hop combining elements of Latin, Soul and R&B. Ran into all manner of folk out at the mall and ate some good food. A pleasent evening in the Big ‘No.’

I watched the final episode of Revelations last night and was grossly disappointed. What a wimpy end… bucking for a series in an obvious and pathetic way. They had me going pretty good too… then they wimped out with one of those “there’ll always be a tomorrow” endings. Aacckk! They should have just gone with the “limited series” idea …. finished it off with a bang, instead of getting greedy. Oh well. On a similar …

This could also mean some royalty money to pay for the odd drink or …

Today really feels like “hump day” more than any Wednesday in recent weeks. I rather be home cleaning out the office with a single horse hair than be here. For those of you who have experienced the “office” you know what a major task that is. Perception is …

Its growing!

Sunday. Ahhh… I really needed this 3 day weekend. If for nothing else, to keep some of my sanity intact. The rest of my sanity gave me the pink slip years ago. There are tomato plants budding all over my vege garden. Little terrorist tomato underground holdovers from last years crop. It’s both cool and annoying. Annoying because they are cropping up all over the place – the random chaos of nature I suppose. I’ll …

The Trike Shop CD release Party

The Trike Shop, Thereminman’s pop project celebrated the release of their latest “Pop Songs & Kyries” at Club Fred last night. A good boost of PR and a great story in the local rag brought the crowds in. The evening started off with 2AM Orchestra another fab local band with a great sound. Magill & Schaffer followed up with a duo set of more originals. Then, the main event with Thereminman and gang. And yes… …
