I realize I don’t post much anymore, although I try to post baby pics and the occasional opinion on Facebook and Twitter. So this will seem even more random than if I had five or six Braves or Harding posts as a cushion. With that caveat, I’ll say that 2011 was a pretty good year […]

Hello Hurricane by Switchfoot
It’s been nearly three years since the first new studio album from Switchfoot, but Hello Hurricane finally came out this week. They’ve been busy touring, recording, dropping their record label, and working on side projects. Frontman Jon Foreman released a series of solo albums for each season between 2007 and 2008, and he and Nickel […]
Dave Matthews Band live in Memphis
I’ve seen a handful of really good concerts, but only a few times have I really been in the presence of musical greatness. In terms of songwriting, I would put Switchfoot in that category, and Nickel Creek would make it both on both lyrics and instrumental proficiency. Dave Matthews Band certainly would fit that billing, […]
The Diaper List
Inspired by a recent movie called The Bucket List, my friend Brandon started referring to his own version of such a list. Unlike the stars of the movie (Morgan Freeman and Jack Nicholson), his list isn’t about what he wants to do before he dies (or “kicks the bucket”). Rather, he has what he calls […]
Weekly Notes: November 8, 2007
It’s that time again. So far it’s been an interesting week for me, and once again I have some notes: Mark Elrod’s thoroughly entertaining contest for the most politically subversive song in American history is over, and Bob Dylan’s “Masters of War” wins the title. I think my vote would have been for “This Land […]
Weekly Notes: September 27, 2007
I know it’s Thursday, but I thought I would change things up and do a regular notes post today, leaving football notes for tomorrow. It’s also an appropriate change to make heading into basketball season, when I will need to listen to plenty of Thursday night games for Friday game reviews. Let’s see how it works. […]
Friday Notes: August 24, 2007
My site’s been down most of the morning, but hopefully it will stay up long enough for me to crank out this post. Start your timers now. Today is my buddy Jace’s birthday. He’s 23 today, and if he tells me he feels any different because he’s 23, he’s probably lying. I certainly didn’t. Other […]
Friday Notes: July 6, 2007
It’s been a fairly boring week at home. I swiped my baseball card collection from my mom’s house so that I could look through it and have something to do. Still, I guess there are things going on: The Live Earth worldwide concert is tomorrow, and I think it’s being broadcast on NBC/Universal here in […]
Friday Notes: June 15, 2007
Here’s a little bit of what’s going on in my world: Melissa and I gave in and bought an HDTV last weekend, a Vizio 42″ model with 720p resolution. I was suitably impressed with the combination of decent reviews and an excellent price point (from Sam’s Club). Other than my house, it’s probably the single […]
Guitar Hero 3 will be a must-own game
For me, at least. The first batch of songs for the latest installment in the popular RedOctane series was released today, and if this list is any indication, the game will be nothing short of spectacular. I never thought I’d be interested in the DDR-style games that basically only involve mashing the right button at […]
