If you listen to music on YouTube, no doubt you’ve heard of the “VEVO” channels used by the major record labels. However, if you listen to non-dance, non-soft-rock, or older music, you probably wonder why VEVO channels’ “Related Videos” are anything but related.

Sometimes all it takes is one or two sentences of something to make me feel miserable for days and nights afterward. And that is what happened last night which continues through this evening, and hopefully will end soon. At least there is light in the evening. Otherwise I’d probably be totally destroyed. And adding to [...]

I decided today to increase the “journal” portion of this site to a regular thing. The news and politics and funny pictures and videos won’t go away, and there will still probably be more of those than journal entries, but I think it’s a great way to add stuff to the public domain, whereas these [...]

Sorry for the lack of updates. A few weeks ago, I won a lot of 20 tapes off eBay, and I’m about halfway done backing them up to my computer, holding the seller off on a rating. So far all work and great music. The tapes are various obscure and popular 80s pop-metal and pop-rock [...]
