Deep Cuts: Beach Songs

By James Stafford on July 10, 2012 • ( 5 Comments )

Beach songs.  On one hand you’ve got your Beach Boys and Jan and Dean; on the other you have your Dick Dale, Ventures, and Surfaris.  And then there’s Shag music — oldies […]

86. Forgotten Lies Aim To Distract Me

By James Stafford on July 8, 2012 • ( 19 Comments )

Sherri and I eventually got back together.  I don’t remember the specifics other than a lot of crying and the appearance of a little stuffed purple dragon on the hood of the […]

From The Stacks: Chastain – Mystery Of Illusion

By James Stafford on July 5, 2012 • ( 5 Comments )

This is normally where I write something.  Sometimes I provide a little background to introduce you to an album, give you some sense of the artist and the music.  Sometimes I make […]

Deep Cuts: Your Independence Day Playlist

By James Stafford on July 3, 2012 • ( Leave a comment )

The Fourth of July is a big deal in the United States.  It was on this very day back in 1776 when the Beatles first  came to America, and we like to […]

A Lovely Gift For Your Mailbox

By James Stafford on July 1, 2012 • ( 3 Comments )

Who doesn’t enjoy receiving actual mail?  We still need a higher resolution version before we can pull prints and make posters, but postcards of this one should be arriving in a week […]

From The Stacks: Scorpions Lovedrive

By James Stafford on June 28, 2012 • ( 5 Comments )

Without question this is one of my all-time favorite album covers.  Number 161 in the Hipgnosis Bestiary, 1979’s Lovedrive sported yet another brilliant jacket from Storm Thorgerson.

Deep Cuts: 8:22 Songs

By James Stafford on June 26, 2012 • ( 9 Comments )

The other day I sorted my iTunes by time just for giggles.  It’s an interesting way to look at one’s music collection — not as random as shuffle, not as ordered as […]

84. Happiness I Cannot Feel And Love To Me Is So Unreal

By James Stafford on June 24, 2012 • ( 5 Comments )

If you could have one superpower what would you choose? The answers are as hackneyed as the question:  I want to fly for the freedom; I’ll take strength for the invincibility; give me […]

Keep On Stomping Update

By James Stafford on June 24, 2012 • ( 1 Comment )

The paint is still wet and my photo is crooked, but how cool is Cinder’s final?  Once it’s dry we’ll get it properly photographed and off to the printers.  Good times!
