As the trial of Dzhokhar Tsarnaev begins, I thought I’d recycle my Boston Marathon blong. I’ll plagiarize myself from two years ago. I can’t say it any differently: If you’ve ever been to Boston you’ve probably been forced to walk, likely by a mom or wife, some portion of the “Freedom Trail” against your will. […]

I’m excited to officially announce MidCentury Modern. Me and rheomatic. A tribute to old things made new. Our first album, The Goodness, debuts later this year on Illect Recordings. We were in Nashville this week making things happen. More details to come. Includes some vintage guest spots. Follow us on Twitter and Instagram @midcent_modern and […]
Congressional Cuts
Yeah, I got one. Nothing says rap news like getting a fade in the basement of the Rayburn House Office Building. That’s hip hop.
Here First
Give or take three years, I told you so. Plus I still have the knockdown and decision prognostications to impress and validate my freakish run of rap news soothsaying.
Never Too Old
The full moon on a midnight snow is like daytime. As a kid, it was my favorite. Performed by theipoetlaureate (d/b/a sintax.the.terrific). Music produced by re:flex the architect. Today’s blong here: [wpaudio url=”https://thefreshjunket.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/18f2c-01-snow-day-1.mp3″ dl=”0″ text=”Snow Day“]
Here’s To All You Presidents Out There
This is not a showman’s job. I will not step out of character. – Herbert Hoover (Not Herbert Hoover) Performed by theipoetlaureate. Music produced by nomold.

Light Speed
Charles Hard Townes died, Thursday, at 99 years of age. You know the light saber? The “Luke, I am your father” light saber? Only the most transcendent, gnarly piece of weaponized technology in the galaxy, light saber? The “zzzuun zzzeen” light saber? Our only hope? Yeah. That one. Townes invented it. You know laser tag? […]
Cheating in Math
I know about small capillaries. Ridiculed for years at my self-diagnosed claims about them, medical science has vindicated me. (The prior link is illustrative of a small-capillary syndrome and not specifically indicative of mine. Although, the “smallish brain” and accompanied by “brain abnormalities” is certainly familiar.) Even still, my diagnosis remains largely anecdotal, from extremities […]
New Era of Jim Crow
These are racist: And, I’m not referring to the state colleges represented. Although University of Georgia is racist. How else can you explain their refusal to win any significant football championship or even a single game against the Gamecocks notwithstanding the presence of so many great African-American athletes on their team? They must not want […]
I Have a Dream Big
Coincidentally, my girls wrote a song about dreaming big yesterday. Not consciously inspired by the timeless words of Dr. King but, even still, an expression of the same timeless desire we all share that things will be better. Song blogging allows you to be rare things in music. Timely. Relevant. Niche. Imperfect. And personal. So […]
