Secrets revealed....
At last, dear people, here is the little project I've been working on (in addition to my manuscript-in-progress, of course, which remains on-going). You'll have noticed that Myth & Moor has a brand new look, as I hadn't updated the blog in years. I've also updated my author website, as that wa...
Hear hear.

Don't Do This
This is invariably going to lose me points with my rightier-tightier friends, but as much as a fervent appreciation for the music of Black Sabbath is IN MY VERY BLOOD, I’m afraid I’m just not down with this shirt. Listen, I’m well aware that a sense of humor is critically essential to maintain...
Trust me, the women's bathroom was no better. First time I ever saw stalls w/o doors.

Back to the Bathroom
To be honest, the fabled men’s room of CBGB has become a clichéd distraction, an incidental bit of filthy folklore that now threatens to overshadow everything else about the venue. By the same token, in 2016, what about the oft-repeated mythology of CBGB hasn’t become the stuff of cliché? Firs...
The most important part of this whole exercise is that she listens *consciously* to music and tries to parse it. There's nothing wrong with passively receiving music (or any other entertainment) but the ability to eye it critically and for how it affects you personally leads to deeper appreciation -- regardless of what she ends up liking of not. Good Daddy!

Our Daddy's Stupid Compact Disc Collection
A couple of years ago, some of you — especially the scribbly rock geekery contingent — might remember an inadvertently contentious new Tumblr site called My Husband’s Stupid Record Collection. As its title suggests, the concept was pretty simple; the blog’s author — one Sarah O’Halla — would l...

Good luck with the run, Alex! But if knees continue to be an issue, do consider biking. You get much of the same delightful feeling of freedom and can cover a lot more distance without injuring yourself further.

The Big Runaround: Back on Track?
I’m 47 …. and out of shape. Regular readers may remember a bold series of entries I posted last year under the promising category title, “The Big Runaround.” Prompted by factors of advancing age, neglected health and a desperate initiative to inject a little bit of focussed discipline into a l...

Worked there for 5 years at THR. Lobby is quite nice; the actual worker bee floors, nothing special.

For the Love of 770 Broadway
Back in 2013, I wrote up a nice little post reminiscing about a somewhat unlikely spot for this blog, that being the K Cafe on the second floor of the Astor Place Kmart. As expressed in that post, I have never been a fan of that Kmart, despite having begrudgingly spent money in it over the yea...

Gold is the superior tune. But I tended to be partial to Highly Strung.
And yes, Duran Duran wins in a face-off.

Spandau, and How!
First up, let me just state for the record that I am not — nor have I ever been — a fan of Spandau Ballet. Don’t get me wrong — I have absolutely zero problems with foppish new romantic bands, but in those stakes, Duran Duran beats the Spandaus every damn time. That said, my wife remains an ar...
