Setlist, 30 August 2008
Arellanes.com (Free subscription) | 08/30/2008
This week’s set focused a lot on the groove, with my personal favorites being Eddie Harris’ “Listen Here” and Nina Simone’s scorching version of “Mood Indigo.” It’s good to be back in the habit of doing my show after the summer break. I’m also looking forward to getting my hands on the new Yvonne Sanchez [...]

This is the sound of crickets chirping
Grammar.police (Free subscription) | 08/26/2008
Two looks at the electronic whisper mute for saxophone. I don't live in a city quite so dense (or practice so frequently, ahem) that I feel that I'm disturbing roommates and neighbors too often.

However, it appeals to me for reasons the developer...

Mountain-festival season is getting into full swing
Denver Post (Free subscription) | 05/17/2008
I have no idea what a gallon of gas is going to cost this summer, but with the return of all of Colorado's mountain jazz festivals, at least you can coast downhill part of the way.

Using a script I found online and Christopher Shea's Win Expectancy Finder , I set out to determine who deserves the credit and who the blame in the Indians' win in their memorable one-game playoff against the Yankees, way...

Record Store Day :: Some Suggested Purchases
Muzzle of Bees (Free subscription) | 04/18/2008
As music continues the trend to the digital age the bright spot amongst lost sales and closed up record shops is that people are purchasing vinyl in high numbers again (myself included). Yes, it’s true and I’d know first hand working at one of Madison’s own independent record stores, Strictly Discs. Our store [...]
