The Other Brian Woodbury A couple of years ago, I discovered there was another musician also named Brian Woodbury. He was a young jazz trombonist who was just releasing his first solo album. I really liked his music, except for one thing: it was getting mixed up with mine on all the streaming platforms. According […]
Stephen Hawking inspired this song
Steven Hawking, the brilliant scientist, occasionally ventured into dubious socio-political pronouncements. One of his most foolish was the declaration that humanity had 100 years – later amended to 600 years – before it destroyed itself and the planet, and that humans needed to abandon Earth for theoretically habitable exoplanets. The feasibility of human interstellar travel […]

Eternal Damnation
— Scroll down to watch the video for “Eternal Damnation, feat. Joe Moe” — I’m not a Christian, but I love Christian music. I don’t just mean Bach & Handel.

Old Time Prog
— Scroll down to watch the video for “Old Time Prog.” — When I was in high school and college, I listened to progressive rock. Not exclusively, but a lot. Yes, Genesis, Jethro Tull, and especially Gentle Giant, were my jam. Later on it was Henry Cow and Hatfield and the North. By the time […]
You Are Not Your Brain
— Scroll down to watch the video for “The Brain.” — We’ve grown accustomed to headlines breathlessly intoning the latest claptrap from neuroscience: “Brain study shows grandmaster chess players think differently than amateurs do.” “Your brain is like 100 billion mini-computers all working together.” “Scared of the dentist? This is why, say neuroscientists.” Of course, […]
Let’s Build a Future, While Supplies Last
A going-out-of-business sale for all time. The degradation of the natural world began at a time we were more beholden to nature than it was to us. I won’t call it an innocent time, because man’s innocence has long been in question, and was anyway always placed at a time before now. But, working against […]
