Tres

Another decent run this morning. Getting up at 5:00 isn't as bad as I thought it would be. Note to self-- It's time for a new alarm clock. Every time you even touch the $10 cheapo we bought years ago,m the time moves ahead a minute or two. Next thing you know, I'm going to be setting the alarm for 5 and waking up at 4:30.

I figured out my 3 mile run for Saturday morning. From the corner of our neighborhood to the train station and back. Nothing scenic about the run, but it will get me my mileage. The knee feels really good today. I'm very surprised. Still, I'm going to remain careful about it and not overdo the running.

My Popdose entry about Great Strides and "Here Comes the Sun" went up this morning. It turned out nicely and I am a little impressed with myself for attaching so many links and media to the posting. Not that I'm going to become some kind of web guru, but it's nice to have a little bit of knowledge on how these things work. I am really thrilled about the exposure Popdose is giving the Basement Songs series. The best part is having the songs there for readers to listen to as they read along. Anyway, we received a couple of donations from readers of Popdose. Again, it always amazes me how strangers will jump in to help one another. Thank you everyone.

Not much else to tell. My head's still a little cloudy from waking up so early.

Aloha

Take something called proteolytic enzymes (a health food store should have it) on an empty stomach 2-3x a day. They're anti-inflammatory. You can also make a tea by cutting up ginger into a pot of water, bring it to a boil, steep about 6 bags of tea (per gallon of water) for 20 minutes, put the concoction in the fridge overnight, strain out the ginger, drink a quart of the tea a day. Filled with anti-oxidants and the ginger is also anti-inflammatory. Oh, and fish oil. 3 caps a day with food. Not only anti-inflammatory but gives your coat the high-pro glow.

100 and Counting: Introducing The Epic Playlist

It started as all playlists do, an occasion that justified music for entertainment. In this case, it was a couples weekend getaway back in February. Super Dave proposed that he and I provide the tunes and we started a Spotify playlist: three songs at a time, no song repeats, no artist repeats. Dave would add his three, then text me that it was my turn. I would then add my three text him back. This cycle repeated until three hundred songs were compiled, and we drove off to Mammoth with our wives. A funny thing happened, though, it turned out we both enjoyed the challenge of trying to surprise or outdo the other so much that we continued building the playlist. We made a new rule of just three songs each a day and still no artist repeats. Soon, we came up with amendments to allow duets (The Emmylou Exception), multiple songs by the same band if said band had multiple lead singers (The Beatles Exception), or if there was a lead singer replacement that changed the artistic direction of ...

A Trip Through the "My 90's Tapes" Collection Pt. 6: Joan Jett and The Blackhearts "Up Your Alley"

Column 1, Row 6: Joan Jett and The Blackhearts, Up Your Alley In 1988, hair metal was on the rise and straight forward rock and roll was losing radio airplay. If the music wasn't a little slick and the mix didn't sound like the record was recorded in a sports arena, there was little chance of getting heard. There were exceptions, of course (Tracy Chapman comes to mind), but for the most part, loud and echoey was the sound of the day. At that time, Joan Jett and her latest version of the Blackhearts had been together for a few years and were clicking. The band members were Ricky Byrd on lead guitar and vocals, Kasim Sulton on bass and vocals, and Thommy Price on drums. Jett was coming off of co-starring with Michael J. Fox in Paul Schrader's film, Light of Day . Although the film wasn't a hit, it was high profile enough to bring the rock legend back into the public eye after years working the road and trying to rebuild the success of her early 80s albums, including the s...
