		<title>Best Of 2009</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I put my Top 10 Albums of 2009 over at a spot on KDHX&#8217;s site. My list is toward the bottom, but peruse around. There are a few honorable mentions as well.  One of the actually came out in 2008 but I still count it as 2009 since I got it a year ago.  Check [...]]]></description>

		<title>Santa Is Your Outtake Daddy</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Late November 1999 Alex and I engineered a recording session of Downtime.  A band that had Shag on guitar, Cleez on bass, Tom singing and playing trumpet and Shag&#8217;s friend Jeremy on drums.  A similar arrangement to the infamous Blue House sessions only this time we all kind of knew what we were doing and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Yes!  Your long dormant rss feed returneth!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Today being Veteran&#8217;s Day it seems appropriate to start back with the post I tried to put up before discovering the blog was hacked (back around Memorial Day), and then fixed by Alex, and then hacked again before Yahoo ultimately fixed what made it hackable, I thought it appropriate to start back with the post [...]]]></description>

		<title>Jake &amp; Ali&#8217;s Wedding</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I tried to write a more narrative take on my brother and sister-in-law&#8217;s wedding but turns out editing my journal entry was a more concise way to narrate the awesomeness. Jake and Ali had a happy hour the night before their wedding at a spanky Irish pub and people from all facets of their life [...]]]></description>

		<title>It&#8217;s Late Playlist, April 24, 2002</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I looked and looked at the playlist below and marveled at the song list.  It was kind of a greatest hits of It&#8217;s Late.  I compared a couple of dates and what do you know, this was my G-Loaf Tribute show!  He and Mary celebrate 7 years today and I remember doing this show as [...]]]></description>

		<title>Easter Song From Downtime</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I can only think of 1 Easter song in my collection, and it&#8217;s a song that never made it to completion. Y&#8217;all may remember a little diddy Downtime cooked up for Alex and I&#8217;s first Christmas show as It&#8217;s Late.  The tune, Santa Is Your Daddy, was better than great but I&#8217;ll talk about that [...]]]></description>

		<title>Small Victories</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday was a big day for our little girl.  We do the whole &#8216;last one there is a rotten egg&#8217; thing when we need a friendly way to motivate the kids.  Porter usually wins but Jessie doesn&#8217;t whine about it (yet).  She does little things to try and move him along though.  One example is [...]]]></description>

		<title>Few Random Pics</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A few random shots of the kids. Jessie wearing part of Porter&#8217;s Halloween costume. Been caught reading, once, when he was 5. Their first, and to date only, sleepover at home. And last, a genuine smile from Jessie and one of the silliest expressions I&#8217;ve seen from her brother.  Trish told him to make a silly [...]]]></description>

		<title>Review Of Les Claypool Gig, 3-17-09</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Les Claypool show last Tuesday night might be the best one of him seen in any configuration.  I don&#8217;t know if this was just a good night, or that his new album came out that day, or maybe be the new arrangement of the band.  Whatever it was, he was phenomenal.  My friend Katie [...]]]></description>

		<title>Pearl Jam At The Fox, 3-14-94</title>
		<description><![CDATA[15 Years Ago today was a monumental gig in the world of the Mixmaster. Pearl Jam, at the Fox. They were touring on their second album, Vs., and their was a lot of attention on the band.  For me, I was in full fledged obsession.  I bought every single regardless of what country released it [...]]]></description>

		<title>My Musical Knowledge</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I will be the first person to tell you that I don&#8217;t know everything about music.  But coworkers have called me Music Man (or some variation) for years and a guy who calls my radio show weekly addresses me as the Professor.  Here&#8217;s something to illustrate the gaps in my knowledge.  It&#8217;s mildly embarrassing by [...]]]></description>

		<title>Tired E-Mail</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Below is the second of 2 e-mails I wrote to Alex while I was work after our 3rd show.  My mind was melting down and this is the most tame of the 2.  The first one probably shouldn&#8217;t be read by anyone but me ever again.  What&#8217;s interesting to me that I can read this one [...]]]></description>

		<title>Porter On The Radio!!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A few weeks ago at bed time Porter said, verbatim, with hopeful smile, &#8220;Daddy, wouldn&#8217;t it be nice if they had a day at the radio station when anyone who wanted to go there could?&#8221;  His expression was very touching and for a moment I was a little sad that he thought for some reason [...]]]></description>

		<title>It&#8217;s Late Playlists #2 and #3</title>
		<description><![CDATA[You can really see Alex and I&#8217;s branching out after our first show.  Right away we went to the stuff we were loving at the time, influences, and stuff that we probably thought would make us look cool.  The first appearance of some show favourites too like Ani Difranco and Johnny Socko.  January 13, 1999 [...]]]></description>

		<title>Favourite Music of 2008</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This will be quick, lest this go into the 1st quarter.  Maybe not though, I tend to ramble. A month or so ago my KDHX e-mail got a note asking programmers for our Top 10 albums of 2008 for the website.  I remember a while ago when a good review of software from Alex amounted [...]]]></description>

		<title>It&#8217;s Late with Nick &amp; Alex</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Ten year short years ago today Alex and I did the very first It&#8217;s Late at KDHX. Not at lot of time to chatter about it at the moment, but didn&#8217;t want the day to pass without at least posting the playlist from our first show. I haven&#8217;t been able to get the tapes converted [...]]]></description>

		<title>Observation</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So on the way to the station a few hours ago I heard that the deal for the auto industry was shot down in part due to Republican demands that the UAW cut wages. I realize I&#8217;m writing this pretty half cocked* but, what that seems pretty jacked up to me. The banks (including BOA, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Lennon</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Quick one. John Lennon died on this day in 1980.  I remember when it happened:  Mom cried and hugged me and it was an overcast day, cold, I don&#8217;t remember being school for some reason. If driven to a choice I probably prefer Paul McCartney&#8217;s solo stuff.  I think it&#8217;s because Lennon&#8217;s solo stuff was preachy [...]]]></description>

		<title>Easter Bunny</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Yeah, I know it&#8217;s Christmas and all, but my beautiful baby friend (bka Trish) sent me this note about Porter on Friday and thought it was super cool. Porter asked me this afternoon, out of the blue, &#8220;Is the Easter Bunny a real bunny?&#8221;  I asked him, &#8220;Do you really want to know?&#8221;  &#8220;Yes,&#8221; he [...]]]></description>

		<title>Movie Idea</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Here&#8217;s a poorly developed scary movie idea.  I don&#8217;t like stuff like what is being put out today because it&#8217;s just a grossfest with no fear value to me.  They don&#8217;t make me turn on all the lights before I go to the bathroom in the middle of the night.  So, I banged this out [...]]]></description>

Before Lollapalooza&#8217;s stop here in 1992 I was a tiny little bit more of a Temple Of The Dog fan than a Pearl Jam fan.  I loved [...]]]></description>

		<title>Slight Return</title>

Porter is enjoying school (contrary to what he&#8217;ll [...]]]></description>

		<title>Top 3 Different Things At The Radio Station</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The show went well and I survived the day with only slightly more caffeine intake than usual.  Here are a few things that have changed since July 2005. 1. I-Pod hookup.  You can now, theoretically, play an entire show from your I-Pod.  Some folks probably do but I would feel dishonest doing that, but it [...]]]></description>

		<title>Back Into The Groove</title>

Yep, back on the graveyard, which is my turf.  The graveyard affords me (and when [...]]]></description>
