I forgot to show you what a Yesterday's Paper looks like. Here you go. This one's from the beloved U.S. state I've never been to, North Carolina.

Welcome, things to come
Hello.
This is a place where you'll be able to find bits and pieces of my world that don't make it into any other kind of print or conversation I may have had with you. This may include bits of freestyle music writing, a photo, a back road that looks good in the sun, a link to a news article.
It will also be an annex of sorts for my own reporting. Here, you may find excess verbal spew from an assigned story that didn't make it onto the web site or publication (full transcripts, sidebars and thoughts).
The title refers to the state of "the media" today, as they say (newspapers will die out, I heard in school). I don't quite believe it. The title just acknowledges that most folks are online these days visiting places like this full of all kinds perspective, political party lines, ideas, hobbies, marriage advice, etc. It is also a reference to the Rolling Stones song "Yesterday's Papers" from a favorite RS album "Between the Buttons." I hope this can be a place where I can report. I see the blogspot as a way of expanding my ambition to write about the things I see.
You will find I'm a bit nostalgic for older things, at times. My first link will be a magazine article on Chris Matthews. A feeling of sadness comes over me. Any one who quotes Hemingway and Fitzgerald so often, off-air and on, will earn cynic scolds from members of The Colbert Nation. But I for one will raise at least one whiskey on the rocks to the green light of political reporting that Chris Matthews looks at. He's fun to watch.

As far as my own work, I have a few things on the burner....
Delusions of Adequacy recently published my slightly unfair and meandering review of The Mars Volta's concert at Cain's Ballroom in Tulsa.

I am currently reviewing the new album from the act Okay.
An interview with Ola Podria artist and composer of scores for David Gordon Green films (Snow Angels, All the Real Girls, Pineapple Express, George Washington, Undertow) will discuss the art of scoring films, and what it's like to work with your childhood friend on these films. This will be a good one to run on the Delusions site.
If you go to restaurants or bars in Norman, OKC or Edmond pick up a Gazette. I'll be writing music stories for them. First ones will appear the week of May 14 with a story on El Paso Hot Button and a visiting band called Dark Meat.
Come on back now!
