We’ve finally started recording Windhaven’s first album, which we’re tentatively calling “When The Winds Blow”. This has been a long time coming. After our percussionist left the band we were sort of left floundering. Or I was, anyway. I tinkered on the songs and figured we would get around to recording, but nothing quite felt […]
Month: September 2010
I’m always amazed by the basic depravity of the human mind. Until this morning, I had never heard of “crush videos”. If you don’t know what they are either, suffice it to say that they’re exactly what they sound like – depictions of small animals being tortured to death by humans. The videos mostly depict […]

There are quite a few fund-raising events going on lately to help support ailing Blues musician, Robin Rogers, who was diagnosed with liver cancer and is not expected to recover. One event that’s likely to get a lot of attention is the raffling of a Fender Stratocaster guitar. The promotion is being offered by Robin […]
Well, it’s not censorship in it’s strictest terms (meaning the guy wasn’t denied the right to publish). But when a government purchases 9,500 copes of a book just so it can be destroyed, it’s a bit worrisome, to say the least. That doesn’t sound like something that happens in the United States. Pentagon officials bought […]

You would think they might prefer to quietly ride that wave of obstructionism to the much projected gains that pundits expect them to achieve in the next election. But the Republicans have never been fans of Reality. […]
One of the first things I saw this morning when I checked Facebook was a notice that Robin Rogers’ new CD, Back In The Fire, is the #3 album on the Billboard Blues charts. It brought me a brief sadness, as I reflected on Robin’s current health and the cruelty of Fate that this accomplishment […]
I’ve activated the diabolical and rarely used “Talk Like A Pirate” plug-in on this web site. For the 24 hours of September 19th, you’ll discover that all of my posts here on the Wic’s Blogs have been converted to parlance that any scurvy dog would recognize.

Better Energy In The Studio
It’s amazing how a good cleaning can improve your general outlook, not to mention your flow of energy. In recent weeks I’ve let my bad habits pile up in the studio, like the detritus of some half-crazed hoarder. It’s no wonder there’s been no progress on Windhaven’s album. The studio had become so cluttered that I didn’t […]
