I begrudge no one their god given right to throw good money away. Lord knows I’ve been known to waste a dollar or two. That said…
When you’re at a concert, shut the fuck up. I can’t tell you how tired I am of people who can’t keep their mouth shut long enough [...]
I got my ass up early today to get tickets for Radiohead. I generally have good ticket buying karma - I like to think it’s because I don’t steal music. Anyway - I kept track of the atomic clock, and promptly refreshed my browser at the right second - it actually took a [...]
The last week has been crazy. Work has up and decided to be, well, work. Haven’t had a real day off in over a week - and last week I spent 5 evenings in auto dealership negotiating Kristen’s new car. Thank goodness that’s over. So what do I do tonight? Go to an auto dealership [...]
A few weeks ago I preordered the latest R.E.M. release Accelerate (iTunes) after hearing all the great reviews. Preordering got me a bonus track and the single early and I would have hoped the album as soon as it was out. Unfortunately that wasn’t the case - the album was available right after [...]
The music industry seems loathe to change. At least they seem loathe to change until they’re forced to. Kudos to the management of Gnarls Barkley and The Raconteurs for releasing their CDs much earlier than normal. Gnarls Barkley released their most recent CD in advance of an April release date last week. [...]

If I had had a blog on August 27, 1990, I probably would have written something at that time. There wasn’t even a real internet back then, so you’ll have to forgive the lateness of this post.
These days I mostly listen to rock music. I’m more likely to listen to indie acts like [...]
I haven’t written anything about a new blog I’ve put together last March. It’s called TunesOnTv.com. Here was the idea - after continuously looking for music from television online, I decided that there was a good idea there. On the blog I post songs from television shows, tv commercials, and links to [...]
Ostensibly A Rubber Door is about anything that's on my mind. Mostly that seems to be about politics, music, sports, and arguing with others about all of the above. I took the name of this blog from a Michael Penn song called Me Around. Check out Michael - he's about the best singer/songwriter there is.
