The Politics of Being Good: February 2009
http://thepoliticsofbeinggood.blogspot.com/2009_02_01_archive.html
The Politics of Being Good. Thursday, February 26, 2009. In brief (link whore session). Conversely, my Facebook music page is still up; unfortunately it has a URL that is not at all conducive to business cards. So click that link instead. And, finally, there's nothing up on it yet save an introductory video, but I plan to post videos of covers and originals on a dedicated YouTube channel. Thanks for your patience; I'm going to go die now, and hopefully be resurrected in time for work tomorrow. Money on t...

The Politics of Being Good: January 2009
http://thepoliticsofbeinggood.blogspot.com/2009_01_01_archive.html
The Politics of Being Good. Tuesday, January 20, 2009. On the one hand I wish I had more time to sit down and craft really good material for this blog. On the other hand I'm pleased that I have too much else to do. So here I am, on Obama Day, after spending several hours debating the finer points of political science with a bunch of armchair bureaucrats and half-drunk skate punks, trying to write in a blog to explain why I don't like wasting time. You don't like it, don't read it! Tuesday, January 6, 2009.

The Politics of Being Good: On Exhaustion and Critics
http://thepoliticsofbeinggood.blogspot.com/2009/06/on-exhaustion-and-critics.html
The Politics of Being Good. Wednesday, June 24, 2009. On Exhaustion and Critics. I guess "trying" isn't really the appropriate term anymore; since recently my job has been to write every day. And I think I'd like to take a minute and discuss something that happened today pursuant to that, because I found it a little shocking. So I've been guest writing over at State of Affairs. And for my troubles, I got told I'm an ignorant bigot. Huh? And with that I'm tapped. I have to write another post tomorrow,...

The Politics of Being Good: Blogging Fun
http://thepoliticsofbeinggood.blogspot.com/2009/06/blogging-fun.html
The Politics of Being Good. Tuesday, June 16, 2009. So for the next few weeks I'll be guest-writing on my buddy Jim's blog over at State of Affairs. It's topical, current and quite often funny (at least it is when I'm writing it). Come check it out - it's like a Localized Irritant post every single day. Oh, and if you haven't yet, get your tickets. 21 Jun 2009 doors at 8:30). It's going to be great. I know, I promised dick jokes. Here's one: I'm a dick and the joke's on you. Check me out regularly.

The Politics of Being Good: Oh lord, he's not going to try his hand at poetry, is he?
http://thepoliticsofbeinggood.blogspot.com/2009/06/oh-lord-hes-not-going-to-try-his-hand.html
The Politics of Being Good. Thursday, June 11, 2009. Oh lord, he's not going to try his hand at poetry, is he? Yes, he is. I'm going to try my hand - as usual - at something the skill for which I don't necessarily possess. There will be something funny later. Dick jokes or something, I promise. You're going to have to give me a second (be)cause. William Burroughs and WWII are. On a Thursday night with a stomach full of beer and bad pizza. It's always raining on Yonge Street;. Go to market, I know,. Strun...

The Politics of Being Good: March 2009
http://thepoliticsofbeinggood.blogspot.com/2009_03_01_archive.html
The Politics of Being Good. Saturday, March 28, 2009. The rest of the classic stuff is historically important, so I include it. I've got everything from Alghieri's Divine Comedy. To Tolstoy's War and Peace. And I've read all of them at least once (except for the aforementioned War and Peace. But as I grew older my tastes in science fiction grew far past that single imagining and embraced other, more complex takes on humanity's progress. My current bookshelf is stocked with the three heavywights of "h...

The Politics of Being Good: April 2009
http://thepoliticsofbeinggood.blogspot.com/2009_04_01_archive.html
The Politics of Being Good. Friday, April 3, 2009. T Minus 3 Hours. Realistically, this is the first show I've ever played live, solo and for money. I don't know why I've spent the day being this nervous – it's something I've done a thousand times before. I know these songs like the back of my hand, because they're a part of me, and maybe that's the problem. There's more invested this time around. It's different playing cover shows, you know? I can get up and play. So tonight is the big night; I'm going ...

The Politics of Being Good: September 2008
http://thepoliticsofbeinggood.blogspot.com/2008_09_01_archive.html
The Politics of Being Good. Tuesday, September 30, 2008. Originally posted April 2006, the events depicted here took place late that month, after the events of A Night At The Reverb. As usual, names have been changed to protect the innocent - and the sluttily detestable, because everyone deserves a second chance.). Upon asking the Captain what the vibe for the evening was to be, the following conversation ensued. Cap: They're calling it "Pornopalooza". Al: (pause) They're calling it what? Once again, my ...

The Politics of Being Good: Burnout and Currents
http://thepoliticsofbeinggood.blogspot.com/2009/06/burnout-and-currents.html
The Politics of Being Good. Friday, June 5, 2009. Okay, I was going to wait to post this information, but since I've spent the last two days in a non-working stupor as a result of too much self-inflicted stress, some bad gumbo and a total inability to sleep without dreaming about fascinating short stories I'll never write, I figured what the hell, might as well go ahead. And now she's trying her hand at production. That sounds just about right. I've met most of the other performers: Stephen Targett, ...
