Radiohead – The Numbers Khruangbin – A Calf Born in Winter Slowdive – Star Roving Word. ***Editor’s Note: this is the unabridged version.
Patti Smith – Beds R Burnin’ Life is hard. In addition the ongoing responsibilities of being a good partner, friend, parent, child, etc, we are faced with circumstances beyond our control. Mass shootings, environmental degradation, dismantling of our democracy and the values of decency and compassion becoming relics of the past. In order to counter…
‘Tis the season – we all are busy…So here goes: The Beatles – Let it Be I had recently heard an interview with Paul McCartney why he wrote this song – his mother came to him in a dream and told him not to worry – just let it be. This is good advice for…
Dire Straits – Brothers in Arms Makes me think of past Christmas Eves’ – hanging with Mark – drinking homemade red wine he got as his Christmas tips in South Philly on his postal route.
The Rolling Stones – Moonlight Mile There was a store on Bleigh just off Frankford when I was 13 named Moonlight Mile…but I did not know it was named for the song… More to it – too much to txt… ***Editor’s Note: we need the goods on that one Karen…mucho mucho por favor… Also –…
Just something needed every now and again – now – Chickety Check Yo Self…
All right – let’s get loud and then quiet then – explode into the blues – give a screech – high pitched – a wail – WAAAAHOOOWHOWHO…. As Johnny Utah says “you mad – good and mad – feels good doesn’t it – like you’re still alive right…” Maybe I got a little pent up…

Yeah – well – if you ever saw Michael at the beach or anywhere – especially in the summer you can imagine why this tune reminds me of him. And he never was overly aware – he once stopped traffic by walking across the street – the ladies in the car stared – transfixed –…
Well, never got a chance to talk to Michael about his one – but figured he’d like it – and could see him rolling home in his jeep with it cranked up – coming up with plans for the babies – Chloe and Lauren on a Friday night – play some wiffle ball, blokus, who…
So much to say about this song – always gets me feeling about right – fearless – the way Michael faced everything he went through – I hope I can exhibit some of that without him – at the end of the song the chanting is Liverpool Football Club fans singing the club anthem –…
One of the last songs I listened to with Michael in late September 2019 – you know he loved his tea. And the Police as well. This one was always one of my favorites. Now I think of him – across the desert he would fly…
I’ll end this year where this list began. Woke one morning to an email from Peter. It was this recording of him and Kate – sent without Kate’s knowledge. I listened to it all day. Jana listened to it later that day while we prepared dinner – she had the same reaction I did –…
sorry for the tardy nature of this year’s setlist… but let’s get to it, right? I mentioned an overwhelming undertone of a mid-tempo kind of thing happening here… there are a few tunes that are up-tempo and that makes me feel like a teenager again, but uh, not much… shout out’s will be included, as…
The Weight – The Band This was a late (uh, the other night) addition. That’s right, came on the headphones on a recent sleepless night and thought this was a good way to kick things off.
