So, the St. Louis Cardinals won the World Series Friday night. The win was the capstone to one of the most improbable championships in baseball history. The Cardinals were 10.5 games out of the wild card race on August 24. The Atlanta Braves’ implosion, which permitted the Cardinals to catch them on the last day […]

M Goi Saa!
Really a banner month at ipoetblog.com a/k/a huckleberryspins.com in terms of traffic and views. I’ve apparently picked up a lesser known population of the rap news audience, namely, enthusiasts of competitive child soccer ball kicking and the Warner Bros.’ cinematic triumph, Dolphin Tale. I hope you will return. The topics get a lot more masculine […]
Drowning in a Puddle
So, they are evacuating Bangkok in anticipation of horrendous flooding. But, every time I’ve done an Act of God song, see,e.g., here, here, here, here, here, and here, it sounds like a leftover ballad from Farm Aid. There just isn’t much of an angle beyond, “Wow, this is really sad” and “man, the Earth sure […]
In a Name: A Resolution
It is resolved, henceforth, that the ipoet laureate would not raise any objection to his fans referring to him as Samuel L. Rhythms, Mark Slaing, Huckleberry Spins, Tom Lawyer (credit to djclutch), Johann Sebastian Rocks, Alex P. Creepin’, Ludwig Van Beatshoven, or by my heraldry name, precisely as follows, D. Josev Brewer. These have all […]
Playing Soccer
The experiment of this site has been largely to write the news in song. But, one of the reasons it exists is to provide outlet for songs too niche to use anywhere else or, in some instances, to make at all. I used to have people say, “Why don’t you write a World Cup rap?” […]
The World Did Not End, Again, Update
In case you missed it, the world failed to end again, yesterday. It would be embarrassing if you were continuing as if it had. In May, I warned here about the consequences, historically, associated with laughing at prophets and cynicism for the end of days. My sympathies continue to lie with those who are desperate […]
Moammar Gadhafi Dead
I just cannot bring myself to write a fourth Gadhafi song. I just can’t. My previous thoughts in three related blong entries are here, here, and here and are also featured in individual audio players below. As my August 25 post indicated, I was poised to write the obituary. But, he persisted. For nearly two […]
BREAKING NEWS: An Occupy Wall Street EXCLUSIVE
The ipoet laureate has been given exclusive access to the previously mysterious demands of the Occupy Wall Street protests. The OWS community has asked that the demands be read rhythmically to the following pumpkinFoot musical accompaniment. Weird, I know. The List: [wpaudio url=”https://thefreshjunket.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/cde58-occupy-wall-street.mp3″ dl=”0″ text=”Bad Guy“]
Sleepless in Seattle
Today’s post betrays the depth of my neuroses for this site and its content. At about 11:30 p.m. Friday night, I came across this story (the link was posted on a board I visit; I wasn’t perusing Fox News dot com video’s of Kelly’s Court). Three and a half hours later, after having fallen into […]
Iranamok
I love it. I had a boss shortly out of college that murdered me over a concert advertisement that was placed (by me) but failed to run in the Atlanta Journal Constitution. After literally screaming at me over the phone, it was readily determined that the mistake was on the Constitution’s end, exclusively. He didn’t […]
