Satellite Radio–Good or Evil?

Posted on: Friday, January 18th, 2008 in: Music News, Useless Ramblings

For Christmas I received a very nice gift–Sirius radio. Being that I love music, having such a great source of a variety of musical genres was akin to giving the keys to a vintage wine cellar to a drunkard. There are days I look for excuses to drive around endlessly listening to the [...]

To hell with it…

Posted on: Saturday, December 1st, 2007 in: Useless Ramblings

The nice thing about having no publisher (or editor for that matter) is that I am beholden to only you. You don’t mind if I curse do you? Of course it wouldn’t matter if you did as I would most likely do whatever I pleased regardless.
It is the holiday season and pardon my [...]

While My Guitar…

Posted on: Friday, October 5th, 2007 in: Useless Ramblings

Life slips away from us all they say, but I rather find myself in the thick of it. I’ve not picked up my guitar as much recently as I should, but have instead spent the time watching and listening. Stories come if you take the time to hear them. It’s good to [...]

Popesquatting

Posted on: Wednesday, April 20th, 2005 in: Useless Ramblings

Although far from related to music, I cannot resist mentioning that Sharkbitten pal, fellow author and Saint Augustinian Rogers Cadenhead is the current rage of the so-called Internets. Rogers registered several potential future names for popes some time ago and has the honor of owning the papal domain–www.bendictxvi.com.
First let me say that [...]

Please Help

Posted on: Thursday, December 30th, 2004 in: Useless Ramblings

I don’t know much about international aid, natural disasters, or the pain that those in Southeast Asia must feel. In fact, I know very little that would be considered valuable. One thing I am certain of however is that I plan on skipping that extra CD purchase this month to send the $20 [...]

Election Time

Posted on: Monday, November 1st, 2004 in: Useless Ramblings

At this point most of you have decided which candidate will get your vote so I won’t attempt to sway your opinion–you shouldn’t listen to a twit like me on matters so important anyway. What does matter however is that you actually VOTE!
I’ve pointed out that Americans are more likely to purchase [...]

Fingers crossed

Now that we have regained phone and power I should take the time and give you a few tips before Ivan arrives. Seems to be a neverending saga here on the sandy beaches of Florida!

In case I don’t manage to do Charlie Robison’s first disc with Dualtone justice, be sure to pre-order Good Times. [...]

Weather Update

Sharkbitten Evil Lair World Headquarters has regained power but due to a lack of telephone or other connectivity service we will be running an abbreviated publishing schedule this week.
Until then kiddies, please buy some CDs and support your local musician.

There’s little humor left in this hurricane season and the uncertainty is really intense. Regardless, I have to tell you that the biggest bummer so far is that they cancelled garbage pickup and I have a week’s worth of nasty stuff in my garage.
Regardless, here’s a few things to occupy you while [...]

Writer’s Block Blues

Posted on: Tuesday, July 20th, 2004 in: Useless Ramblings

Like many songwriters, I attempt to write daily. Sometimes I get little bits on napkins or a riff that I can later use but mostly I get throw-aways. When the moon is just right and if the creek doesn’t rise I might get something worth keeping. Regardless, every day I get something [...]
