Established Disestablishmentarian: June 2008
http://establisheddisestablishmentarian.blogspot.com/2008_06_01_archive.html
Are you nobody, too? Then there's a pair of us — don't tell! They'd banish us, you know. / How dreary to be somebody! How public, like a frog / To tell your name the livelong day / To an admiring bog! Sunday, June 29, 2008. I started at the beginning with my reasons for starting the blog. I've posted about how much I loved Luke and Noah on. As the World Turns. How much I was pissed off by the treatment of Luke and Noah. And how much I was disgusted by Luke, Noah, and Ameera. In relation to Luke and Noah.

3 Minutes, 49 Seconds: "I Bring to You My Songs"
http://3min49sec.blogspot.com/2015/05/i-bring-to-you-my-songs.html
3 Minutes, 49 Seconds. To be read at maximum volume. Thursday, May 21, 2015. I Bring to You My Songs". This past Saturday I went to what felt like one of the biggest concerts of my life: I saw Billy Joel at the Target Center in Minneapolis. I've seen plenty of megawatt acts in my time, but this one felt different going in. Billy's music has been part of my personal soundtrack since I was six years old. My mom played the tapes of An Innocent Man. Until I knew those songs by heart. I got the Storm Front.

3 Minutes, 49 Seconds: April 2015
http://3min49sec.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html
3 Minutes, 49 Seconds. To be read at maximum volume. Thursday, April 30, 2015. A few years ago I wrote about the fact that I no longer had a voracious appetite for new music. It was difficult to admit, seeing as how I'd previously been so determined to avoid becoming the cliche guy-who-gets-older-and-stops-keeping-up-with-what's-popular. (This is, of course, only a step up from the guy-gets-older-and-believes-all-music-made-after-he-left-high-school-is-shit.). Today I came across a report about a study.

3 Minutes, 49 Seconds: 279. "Weird Al" Yankovic: Mandatory Fun (2014)
http://3min49sec.blogspot.com/2014/07/279-weird-al-yankovic-mandatory-fun-2014.html
3 Minutes, 49 Seconds. To be read at maximum volume. Tuesday, July 29, 2014. 279 "Weird Al" Yankovic: Mandatory Fun (2014). Back in 2010 I did a review of every single "Weird Al" album, and though I've all but sworn off doing reviews of new albums, I can't let the collection go incomplete. I've also done every-album-reviewed projects for The Beatles, The Monkees, Talking Heads, and XTC, so if any of them put out a new studio album I'll review it - though I think I'm pretty safe.). Becomes an ode to Foil.

3 Minutes, 49 Seconds: February 2015
http://3min49sec.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html
3 Minutes, 49 Seconds. To be read at maximum volume. Tuesday, February 03, 2015. I'm Gonna Take Back Some of the Things I Said About You. Every once in awhile I find myself, when a certain heady mixture of nostalgia and narcissism takes hold, re-reading my old reviews. But there's one particular review that's been sticking in my craw for the past six months or so. And it's not so much about the album itself or what I wrote about it as much as it is what my changed opinion represents. Not long before post...

3 Minutes, 49 Seconds: Stuck, or Obsession Cessastion
http://3min49sec.blogspot.com/2010/08/stuck-or-obsession-cessastion.html
3 Minutes, 49 Seconds. To be read at maximum volume. Sunday, August 29, 2010. Stuck, or Obsession Cessastion. You may have noticed that things have slowed down around here. I had the summer off from teaching, and I spent it with my 7 month-old son. I gave myself permission to make this blog less of a priority. Well, "less of a priority" is putting it lightly. Initially, I considered an abrupt retirement. But then I reconsidered. Maybe the proximity to Brett Favre is causing this. In music - I imagine I a...

Established Disestablishmentarian: October 2007

Are you nobody, too? Then there's a pair of us — don't tell! They'd banish us, you know. / How dreary to be somebody! How public, like a frog / To tell your name the livelong day / To an admiring bog! Monday, October 29, 2007. More entertainment and more Nuke. Anyway, I eventually came out to all my friends, including this guy. And he was very cool with it, even though he had acted previously like being gay wasn't a very cool thing. If you get a chance. She broke out into "Hopelessly Devoted to You" ...
