New Album Harys Out Today On Reverbose Records
I've got a new collection of ambient and experimental electronic instrumental tunes out today called Harys on Reverbose Records, available everywhere (meaning the usual places: Spotify, Amazon, CDBaby, iTunes, Apple Music, Google Play, etc.).
The Afghan Whigs' Gentlemen (33 1/3)
The Afghan Whigs' Gentlemen by Bob GendronMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Being an AW superfan, I'd heard lots of theories about what or who, exactly, Gentlemen was about. Enjoyed that aspect, but moreso the behind the scenes aspect of how the album was written on the road during the Congregation era touring. Gendron is very precise in his descriptions during the track-by-track breakdown, which can be a dicey proposition in lesser hands, but here he nails the sound of the record as I heard it my own head. Only wish Black Love wasn't dismissed as at the end, as to my ears it's the finest moment of the band in their attempt at musical cinéma vérité.

15 Years Ago: The Moving Parts at the Treebar
While recently searching through the Cringe.com website for some info, I stumbled upon these pictures from fifteen years ago when The Moving Parts played the Treebar here in Columbus. Damn, I was thin! (credit to Joel Treadway for the taking the pics)
Throw Another Log On The Fire
I haven't written much on the blog recently, but it's not because I'm not busy. In fact, it is (to the consternation of my wife) quite the opposite. Here's what's going on:
DOWN TO HIGH STREET
After building and growing the Columbus music discography database in preparation for the oral history book project currently titled "Down To High Street," I've actually started scheduling and conducting interviews. This is going to be a long process, based on the flexibility to chat with interview subjects, so I have no designs on completing it this year. My hope is by end of 2019, interviews will be done and I'll be on to organizing and editing.
EVEN MORE SMALL STORIES
Upon the release of Small Stories last year, in addition to raised eyebrows about some of the stories from certain family members, I also got a barrage of, "Hey, you know what story was hilarious that you left out? This one!" I compiled those stories, and managed to recall a few others that were not previously written up, and have started the process of fleshing out the full stories for a second volume of Small Stories, which incidentally, is now available over at Amazon via Kindle for just .99 cents.
