I’m not sure how to describe Dan Deacon. Wikipedia calls him an absurdist, which puts him in the same category as Camus and Kierkegaard. Deacon’s clever, but this may be a bit of a stretch. I heard of him on NPR’s wonderful music program All Songs Considered where they featured his track “The Crystal Cat”. [...]

Game Day: Rebels Come to Town
“Oxford Town, Oxford Town
Ev’rybody’s got their heads bowed down
The sun don’t shine above the ground
Ain’t a-goin’ down to Oxford Town…”
-Bob Dylan – “Oxford Town”
Baby Z and his Dad are pretty excited about today’s Georgia – Ole Miss game in Athens. First, with a 1 p.m. Eastern kick off, we won’t have to be up in [...]
Political Friday: May Their Strength Give Us Strength
I have been enthralled by the pictures coming out of Burma this week. There is something very emotional about the images of these monks standing up to the military regime that’s running the country. I just find it amazing that these people are willing to put their lives on the line for a political belief. [...]
Autumn Leaves
One by one the flowers fading in my garden
One by one the leaves are falling from the trees…”
-Woody Guthrie – “One By One”
While walking through the Parks yesterday, I noticed some of the leaves on the trees around Keble starting to turn and drop. Then while biking home last night a little bit late from [...]

Science Tuesday: Results from the Journal of the Bloody Obvious
“I only know what I know
The passing years will show
You kept my love so young
So new…”
-Styne & Cahn – “Time After Time”
Sometimes science is about quantifying or providing evidence to support a hypothesis that is fairly obvious. Some people call this “no duh” science; my boss is a bit more colorful – she calls such [...]
Z’s Music Monday: Wilco – “A.M.”
“Just can’t find the time
To write my mind
The way I want it to read ”
-Wilco – “Box Full of Letters”
I found myself in a quandary this week. Frequent readers of this site will now that Mondays have been dedicated to reviews of new albums. However, since Z’s come along and I’ve realized just how many [...]
MP3 of the Week: Heavy Trash – “Outside Chance”
Before I start with Heavy Trash can I just make a plea to all the musicians out there – please do not put your music on autoplay on your websites. If I want to listen to your tracks I will push play, if I don’t you will just annoy me and make me go elsewhere. [...]
Dawgs Roll!
Baby Z barely stirred in his Dad’s arms at 4 this morning when Scott Howard screamed “TOUCHDOWN!!!” and his Daddy danced around the living room. I guess he’s a bit young to appreciate the excitement of knocking off Alabama in Tuscaloosa in overtime. Georgia managed to throw away a two score lead in the fourth [...]
Game Day: Tough One in Tuscaloosa
Georgia versus Alabama tonight! Z and I are pretty nervous about the Dawgs going over to Tuscaloosa to take on Nick Saban and the Tide. Georgia’s won the last two meetings, but Alabama leads the series and hasn’t lost three in a row since 1916.
We’re still piecing together game day Georgia gear for Z. He [...]
