Basically TBR (Toilet Bowl Reading).
Through 2014 each post was named for a song, which is linked in its title. click to listen (preferably launch in a new tab or window though)
2015 onward: I have no clue what will inspire my rambling, as if I needed anything in the first place? The reigns are off, and the rambling truly begins.

Ahead By a Century
Has there ever been a better band name than the Tragically Hip? i firdt heard them in the great musical flood of 95' on St. Louis's own KPNT and dug what i heard. i sat on the for a few years and then went headlong in. To date i donmt know of a stronger 3 album run than Day for Night, Trouble at the Henhouse, and Phantom Power, which features this song i, if i trust my memory, or maybe it was on Trouble at the Henhouse? Either way, it's a great song and the idea of being ahead of one's time is resonating withh me. i feel like part of a generation born in an age where a large population have renoved themselves from the gene pool and focus their lives on self-actualization or some approximation of it. A generation predisposed to occupying themselves independently g experiencing community from afar through shared ideaologies instead of direct interactions, thereby removing some of the power that comes with group think g peer pressure. this generation creates amalgamted cultural identity instead of embracing one to which they are ascribed & has a utilitarian attitude regarding elective emotional attachments. we have no use for people who shut us down. I used to think i was a throwback, but maybe imm a flash forward?
