A Guide to Pairing Your Comics & Beer. →
Man, oh man — two of my favorite things in the world.  This could have easily been a throw-away, “ha ha!”-type list, but it’s not.  Thoughtful, insightful (and yet, still hilarious) analysis.  They nailed it.   I am definitely reading and drinking tonight.

New York In The 80's.
It’s fairly easy to forget that just thirty years ago, New York was a very different place. Photographer Steven Siegel’s photos from that “gritty” 1980s-era might help you remember:  “I’ve been photographing the streets and subways of New York for the past 30 years. When young people today look at my shots from the 1980’s, they are aghast. To them, New York of the...

MEHR JANUAR: A Mix.
Another byproduct of my return to 8-hour office workdays?  Many more songs finding their way into the ol’ “Mix This” folder.  Therefore, even though it is still January, I put together yet another playlist/mixtape — for those who might be inclined to such things.  Enjoy “Mehr Januar (More January)”: “Bottled In Cork” - Ted Leo &...

Januareeeez: A Mix.
New Year/New Mix.  Suddenly having 8+ hours a day back in front of a computer has increased my music listening tenfold.  A Spotify premium subscription is hovering ominously in my future.  The first twenty tracks of 2012: “Teen Age Riot” - Sonic Youth “Hang On To Yourself” - David Bowie “Thirteen” - Albert Hammond, Jr. “See No Evil” -...

My Wife Has An Awesome Job, Part MMXVII.
The Wife: Today I called a coworker and asked, "Do you want to get hit in the nuts today?" Later, I had to ask the same co-worker if he was wearing a cup.
Me: Hahahaha
The Wife: These are "normal" conversations around here.
Me: Hahahahahahaha
The Wife: Then, I had to tell Brian Williams that he *was* wearing a cup. I may have blushed when Brian Williams explained that -- as a guy -- he just wanted to be sure.
Me: Haaaahahaaaaaahahaaahahahahahahahahahaha

Holidaze: A Mix.
Our household is in full-on holiday mode — and with that, comes copious amounts of holiday music.  This prompted me to compile a mighty list of not-so-traditional tunes, from which I culled thirty of my favorites.  A spirited mix, featuring everything from The Dickies to The Maytals and back again. Mind you, there were plenty that did not make the cut…  Winger’s monster...

Nooo, Vember: A Mix.
Once again we have a new entry in the ever-growing Spotify Mixtape series.  This time, an unusual month has begotten an eclectic mix: featuring a swath of styles, from the recently retired rock of R.E.M., to some classic 70’s Nigerian funk — courtesy of (the aptly-named) The Funkees.  The players: “Gardening At Night” - R.E.M. “Down” - Summer Camp ...
