New episodes of the In My Headache podcast continue to appear intermittently. My collaborator Aaron Rhodes and I discuss Tyler, The Creator, Willie Nelson and Harry Nilsson in the latest installment.

There Stands the Glass may be an automonous endeavor but my Kansas City jazz blog Plastic Sax is a public service. The journeyman guitarist Rod Fleeman is The Plastic Sax Person of the Year.
