Janet Devlin – Cinema Screen
The rapper B.o.B was all over the radio and TV with ‘Airplanes’, a song that to this day evokes memories of this period – just one song in a list of many that I have ruined by attaching them to moments of my own annihilation. -- Janet Devlin, My Confessional Can we...
Guest Post by Bomethius: Goodbye, Covid-19
I had just finished scribbling out the chord progression. Fairly satisfied, I recorded a short silly video, and then I sent it to my Mormor (my grandmother, Margaret Hodges). She doesn't have social media, and I like to share what I'm working on with her when I can....
Rainsticks – Atlanta Traffic
I equate films with sand castles. You get a bunch of mates and you go down and you say, 'I'm gonna build this great sand castle,' and you build it. And then the tide comes in and in twenty minutes it's just smooth sand. And that structure you made is in everybody's...

Elizabeth Cotten – Freight Train
I don't know when I first heard 'Freight Train.' I may have heard 'Freight Train' when the Chas McDevitt Skiffle Group performed it on the Ed Sullivan Show when I was three months old. The song was a big hit for them that year, reaching #5 on the UK charts. Or I may...
Static In Verona – Blinking Midnight
I am not calling Puddy. What did I do with my gloves? Oh, I bet I left them over at Puddy’s. I should call him. I need those gloves. No, I better not. I’ll call. (looks at table) Oh, look at that! There are the gloves. I was just about to call. There they are. That’s...
