Reading Pronunciation: how do you work this thing?
http://readingpronunciation.blogspot.com/2012/06/how-do-you-work-this-thing.html
Miles natters on about stuff. Probably music, knowing him. He leans more Faulkneresque than Hemingwaylike, so there'll be a lot of words. Unlike Faulkner, not all of them will be wonderfully deployed. Saturday, June 23, 2012. How do you work this thing? My inadvertent birds-and-bees talk. I didn't find out about sex from "the talk" with a parent. Or from the other kids at school. Nope, I learned about it from The People's Almanac. I actually got The People's Almanac 2. S (I know there was a third one, bu...

Miles natters on about stuff. Probably music, knowing him. He leans more Faulkneresque than Hemingwaylike, so there'll be a lot of words. Unlike Faulkner, not all of them will be wonderfully deployed. Tuesday, December 11, 2012. Appalachian refugees (2001 wayback edition). My interview with ex-V-Roy Scott Miller. Due in stores in mid-June from Sugar Hill Records. As we drive past the cathedral of country music’s past, the Ryman Auditorium, we run head-on into a disturbing reminder of country music&...

Unlike Faulkner, not all of them will be wonderfully deployed. Tuesday, February 2, 2010. Tin ears and tin mines. Or Reason #2,317 why I'm not a musician. But really, was Taylor Swift's performance that horrendous? My own initial impression, as stated above, was favorable. Sure, I didn't think she was note-perfect, but I thought she was well within acceptable param...

Po' buckra: Why A 55 Year Old Man Has Decided To Get Tattoos
http://pobuck.blogspot.com/2012/02/why-55-year-old-man-has-decided-to-get.html
An unsettling look at nowsville.sorta. Sunday, February 5, 2012. Why A 55 Year Old Man Has Decided To Get Tattoos. I know, tattoos are old news. Before the advent of Punk and New Wave. Tattoos were mainly for sailors, bikers etc.in the early 80's I had a couple of friends that started to get some. I loved the concept then, as I do now. It's simple. It's art. And it's very personal. And they do not wash off! My hesitation was simple. What do I want on my body and who is the best artist to do this? Another...

An unsettling look at nowsville.sorta. Sunday, September 20, 2009. A: Don't Pay Her. Q: How do you make a hormone? Now, yet another Gil Ray Special Curveball has been thrown at me. While the hormone therapy drug (Lupron) is being used to suppress testosterone level, oddly, upon the initial injection, my body will want to flood itself with testosterone! Not good. So tomorrow I start taking another. Drug to reduce that event. Fortunately just a total of 6 tablets. Weird Strange. Uncanny. Here's the deal - ...

Po' buckra: August 2009
http://pobuck.blogspot.com/2009_08_01_archive.html
An unsettling look at nowsville.sorta. Sunday, August 30, 2009. Yesterday I had started composing my next post regarding the next stage of my cancer treatment. I've gone back to it today, and I'm finding I just don't really feel like putting a whole lot of effort into it. But this time, it's not frustration holding me back, or broken spirits preventing me from tackling this again. Far from it. Finally, I got a number that I can live with. It's a very tiny number, too. Wednesday, August 12, 2009. Fab soun...

An unsettling look at nowsville.sorta. Wednesday, October 14, 2009. Wellthis is a bit bizarre.Some doctor did some study of guys that had the same procedure as me, and discovered that robotic/laproscopic surgery to remove the prostate is more likely to result in erectile dysfunction and incontinence. Nice. I was told by the head of the urology department and. Really.I'm good. But this is still bizarre. Naysayers of robotically assisted prostate surgery. Saturday, October 3, 2009. Still wondering what I'l...

Unlike Faulkner, not all of them will be wonderfully deployed. Sunday, March 4, 2012. My depeche mode story. One day in the early 2000s, my now ex-wife and I were visiting our relatives in southern West Virginia. During this visit, my then-brother-in-law told us this story:. My ex-brother-in-law was understandably curious, and one day he asked the guy about the cap.

An unsettling look at nowsville.sorta. Tuesday, September 7, 2010. The Happy Eggs (part 2). Also did many original songs to go along with our quirky covers. At that time in Charlotte, most bands were expected to play an entire evening - only one band on a bill. This required an extensive playlist. I think at one point we had 4 sets of material that contained around 80 tunes! First album (more on that later! The weirder and quirkier tunes were dubbed “Tweco’s Nightmare Music”. There were a couple of tunes...
