Cranky goes to the polls
Still pretty cranky, I’m hoping coffee with the posse will alleviate a lot of the crank. If not, I’m jumping off a bridge on the way home. I’ve gotten to the point where I am annoying myself with the woe-is-me crap.
Anyway, even in the midst of a hormonal storms there are moments of sheer [...]
Now this is a bracket I can get behind, determining the best ‘Mats album
The Westernerds over at Paul Westerberg.net have been arguing lately on which of the ‘Mats and Paul Westerberg albums are the best. For instance, I had to throw down against Jay Taco for his misguided notion that Sorry Ma is better then Let it Be. Come on, that’s just crazy talk and I can’t abide [...]
Read moreWedding plans
Wolfdogg and I were talking about our Westernerd pal Scooter’s upcoming nuptials. Well, upcoming in May. But no time like the present. I’m hoping flocks of Westernerds come from far and wide to attend and that we all have a real wingding of a time. This wingding shindig will involve lots of drinking and no [...]

The thing I liked the best about last night’s Paul Westerberg The Craft talk/performance at First Avenue in Minneapolis, was when Westerberg and Zanes (the interviewer from the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame) talked a bit about the fans.
I guess in some magazine interview Westerberg had referred to his fans as a fistful [...]

My favorite debate
Westernerds are arguing about the meaning of the line I ain’t very good but I get practice by myself. I am firmly in the masturbation camp.

Holy Awesome Batman! My pals Zook & Wolfdogg wrote a Weird-Alesque song about the devestating news of Doughty opening for the Barenaked Ladies.

Saturday, I attended a gathering of localish Westernerds at Wolfdogg’s house in St. Paul. It was, of course, great gobs of fun. But what do you really expect when you gather together a few handfuls of musicgeeks (and I am like the ungeekiest of this bunch) add some of the best damn strawberry margaritas ever [...]
Read moreWorld serves its own needs, listen to your heart bleed
For my birthday some of my Westernerd pals made a little song in my honor. It’s filled with inside Westernerd jokes (i.e. how i always say Monkey broke my glasses and my insane crush on a Westernerd who goes by the name Smoo), but you’ll still dig it. So the song is called i’m Always [...]
Read moreeverything looks perfect from far away
so i had a weekend, though it doesn’t feel like it. i’ve discovered that the one thing i simply cannot do anymore is stay up until 4 a.m. i guess i’m just one of those people who needs to be in bed by 3 a.m. at the very latest. four a.m. just wrecks me for [...]
Read morethe dude abides
for this gray, gloomy may day, i decided to do exactly what i wanted. well most everything i wanted. there was no passionate sex with a handsome stranger, but then you can’t always get what you want.
i spent most of the day, between naps, sitting on the couch watching “The Big Lebowski,” in a futile [...]
late-breaking crush developments
there has been an update to the Crush of the Day!
my new crush of the day is my pal Monkey. see, monkey is a westernerd who just hooked me up with my new all-time very favorite song ever. it’s called Jason Lee and i would love it even if it weren’t about the cutest [...]
a few things about Chicago Lodge Kathy
this is kathy and her inside-out pajamas. she had run out of cans of budweiser so we gave her a new castle. she poured the beer, took a sip and then proclaimed “it’s like you people are from another planet.”
before i go any further, i just want to say that if i reach 59 and [...]
well it’s a hootenanny baby, or do you know any shut the fuck up?
after the westerberg concert and the backstage debacle at The Riv (which i haven’t told you about yet), the westernerd crew headed back to the dorm for a hootenanny. Wolf, one of my travelling companions (along with Kelly and The Load) had brought a guitar, and there was booze. the booze, that is the important [...]
