I’m going to be missing the Rob Dickinson show at Hotel Cafe tonight. I’ll be stuck working just down the street. But that’s not gonna stop me from posting about it over at LAist.

The quest for simplification continues. The next thing to go is the ol’ comics collection. There was a time when the idea of ditching the beautiful, clean, glossy issue of Alpha Flight #1 was unthinkable. But times change. I have different interests. I’m working on my own mythologies now. So with the help of craigslist, […]

You ever fling a compact disc into the void and then have it circle back like a boomerang and smack you upside the skull? I get a lot of music suggestions during the course of the week. Dropping a disc into the player and giving it a listen is a lot like hurling it out […]

Henry is Sean’s cat. Henry is playful. He attacks anything that moves. Also, he attacks anything that doesn’t move. So whether it moves or it doesn’t move, it’s toast.
I park my car on the top level of the CNN parking lot when I go to work even though there are scores of lower spaces. The only reason I do this is because when I return to it later, I do so beneath the night sky.
It seems to me that all of the recent puritanism over the media and family values is destined for failure. The wardrobe malfunction, the recent web-censorship decrees, the complaints about violence in video games–they remind me of the days of the PMRC and its stance against the overt sexuality of “modern music” back in the […]
I’m at the far end of a weekend that felt like seven days folded into three. I’m sitting, exhausted and bleary-eyed at my computer wondering how to sum it up. But once again, I think I’ll have to resort to an artist’s rendering, this one meticulously sketched on a small napkin. Perhaps later, once I […]

Yesterday at work I meet a fetching woman with a voice like a wisp of silk who reminds me of a far more attractive Joey Lauren Adams. I try to help her think of some cool, guitar-based music for her to use as temp tracks in a film, although it’s more that I talk to […]

Storyteller, raconteur, troubadour and man of well-chosen letters Michael Keefe has turned in his reviews of recent music once again. The June selection can be found here, or as usual, by selectng the most recent link to the right. Enjoy!

Finally, I’ve posted something new at LAist.com. I’ve been so swamped lately that I haven’t been able to scrape even a few words into a decent pile. This time I’m looking forward to Maria Taylor’s appearance at Troubadour.

It’s hard to believe, but it’s been a year since this post. That means another night at Benihana, another stack of presents, and that Sara’s another year older. Mark was with us last time. He’s not there this time, but he’s missed. Luckily, there’s some consolation in that his episode of Cold Case runs again […]

This morning I wake up way before my alarm tells me to. I’m not certain why; when I look at the clock it tells me I’ve had just over five hours sleep. But sleep won’t return, so I decide to use the extra time to list my copy of Monte Hellman’s Two-Lane Blacktop for sale […]

My coworker, Deep, walks up to me in the music DVD section, which I manage. I’m very comfortable there. Deep manages the Cult section, two rows away. “How is it that we always see you helping gorgeous women in your section? How do you do that?” I reply, “It’s simple. When I see an attractive […]

Back in the infancy of this site (before the long hiatus) I once blogged about wanting a cell phone/cordless phone that looks like an old-fashioned rotary phone. Finally, two and a half years later, someone’s created one. Anyone got $400 they can spot me?

Oh, Lordy, has it already been a week? A quick check of my calendar reveals…hey, where the hell’s my calendar? Well, almost a week, anyway. I owe this blog a handful of oddball posts. In fct, I owe a lot to a lot of people. LAist was gonna get two additional posts this week, but […]
