Erich Scholz – Sounds and Fury: 9/11 — Five Years Later I didn’t really feel like giving it too much thought, but it is 9/11 — which means something I suppose. And I was there. Click on the above link to take you to my blog about it last year. With picture.

Weng Weng Rap Lyrics
I know it’s sorta old hat by now…but the Weng Weng Rap is still funny business. I was inspired this weekend to actually transcribe the lyrics as best I could. There could be a few mistakes here and there but here goes: Weng Weng RapBy the Chuds Hey, yo, he’s good to goHell yeah, it’s…
Back to Earth
What a long, strange trip it’s been…and I’m only talking about this weekend. The past month has seen some changes in my life. The biggest is that my live-in galpal and I split. She left our Oak Cliff house earlier last month, leaving me with no furniture (I gave it up, y’all) and all alone….

Diving the Flower Gardens

Layne was also certifying me for nitrox on this trip. We drove into East Texas and down to Freeport,…
Los Bravos
Heads up to the WFMU blog for turning me onto some really cool video clips of the Franco-era, Spanish group Los Bravos. You already know “Black is Black” but the group, which featured the German-born vocalist Mike Kennedy (probably not his real name), had a fistful of gritty garage rock “shoulda been hits” that combined…
