Tune Day: Going all Euro...

I haven't been on a trans-Atlantic flight in nearly nine years. But I can remember most all of it. And one of the first things I recall was putting on the plane headphones prior to takeoff and tuning into Finnair's in-flight "alternative" station.

And so, in honor of Wednesday evening's flight to Gatwick, I present the first song I heard on my first flight to Europe. It's going to be good to be back.

You'll have to let me know how the trans-atlantic flight goes. I ask because Chris and I haven't ever gone overseas together. The reason for our lack of European travel (and I've never told this to a soul) is that he absolutely cannot go to the bathroom on a plane. He's a tall, big dude who has a hard time fitting in the little stall, but I also think it's some sort of mental block. On top of that, he's got a squirrel bladder. So when you get back, would it be possible to tell me more about your flight (i.e. whether someone could do it without peeing their pants or developing a nasty kidney infection)? I'm being serious here :-) You and Sarie have a fun, safe trip. I want to see pictures!

Unapologetic rant against Counting Crows

Today, we're starting a new category of posts called "Making My Readers Mad." This is reserved for posts I think will incite the furor of some fraction of the small audience reading this fine blog. I hate Counting Crows. I have never liked Counting Crows. They came to being at a time in my life where if it didn't involve heavy guitars I hated it. Even today, when I love all kinds of rootsy bands - a little bit of just about everything, really - I cannot bear this band. Why? Let's review: They are vastly overrated. In my high school, when they first came out, every kid who loved them was an ass. And they went on and on about how great Counting Crows is. And how I just don't understand. And how the bands I like aren't nearly the musicians that the members of Counting Crows are. And, how that even though I saw Pink Floyd, Beck, an entire flipping Lollapalooza , R.E.M. and many more before graduation, I had not yet seen a "good" concert bec...

Sounds of the Season 2016 - Indie Christmas & Holiday Songs You Can Live WIth

In 2007, I had just about had enough. North Carolina (which still fancied itself as the progressive spot of the South before it went and got crazy and Nashville and Austin were all "about that..." BUT I DIGRESS... where was I? Oh yes, North Carolina) local radio had stations switching to all-day Christmas music on November 1. Also, it was a year or two before that that awful flipping "Christmas Shoes" song was big. I wanted something better. Maybe something irreverent. And I succeeded!

Hiking/Backpacking the Meander Meadow-Dishpan Gap-Cady Ridge Loop

It looks and sounds perfect. For a novice-backpacker-yet-seasoned-hiker like me, it seemed like the perfect place to not only stretch my own abilities, but also take a first time backpacker who wanted to touch the Pacific Crest Trail. Then, I started to read the trip reports: overgrown trails, a bad road in... all with the spectre of mountain thunderstorms. What was I getting into here?
