Graduation is nigh, seasonal depression kicks in
Like any teacher who tells the truth, I could not be more excited about getting another school year on the books and having a month or two to recharge. But there are always a couple of students who graduate each year who I know I will miss terribly. Sometimes we keep in touch, more often we don't, and life goes on. This year, Mel is graduating and I am seriously sad. This kid has been a T.A. for me, a musical collaborator, a constant source of amusement, a rock during my wedding planning stress, and a true friend. She will be going to college locally in Raleigh, but I will sincerely miss seeing her every day. I am so proud of her, but this is the definition of bittersweet. Cheers, Mel!

Record Store Day-ve
For Record Store Day 2014 (April 19), Jack White has revealed plans to issue the “world’s fastest released record” ever, moving from studio to store in record time. According to White’s Third Man Records website, the guitarist will perform a live version of “Lazaretto,” the title track of his upcoming solo album on the morning of April 19 at a special fan show inside the Third Man store in Nashville. From there, the original acetate will be rushed to nearby United Record Pressing, where vinyl 45s will be made, utilizing images taken from the recording session for cover art. The finished singles will then be whisked back to the Third Man Records store for waiting fans to snap up in what’s sure to be an instant sell-out.
Dave: Mr. White is feeling slighted that Elvis Costello got the wedding invite and he did not. He's trying to get noticed. Can you show him a little love?

No Fun Zone?
Last Thursday . . . a tall man with a device resembling a 1980s-era cellphone was going door to door on Bourbon Street. The man was David Woolworth, an acoustics expert hired by the City Council, and he was taking decibel measurements as part of an effort to better manage the volume dial in a city long famous for its street musicians, boisterous crowds and perpetual parades.Dave, are they trying to sanitize Bourbon Street before we arrive? What the hell man?

A Man Called Destruction
"A quiet life away from music helped save him. He apparently stopped drinking and left Memphis for New Orleans. (None of his friends understood how that would help.)"

Up The Bracket
I've predictably shot my wad way too early but this is the first time I haven't been mathematically eliminated on Day One in several years. From my dad's office pool. Go Bison! What?

O'Dave, you should still be drinking even if spring break is over.

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
This is a thing. Alas, I was unable to win one to give to Beckerboy for his wedding present. Perhaps we can sneak his mobile away from him and wrap it in the real stuff.
