Tales From The Drop Box - Better Than Radio

I'm still here! There is not a better way to start the week than with some new tunes. This episode of Tales From The Drop Box explores a very poppy side of the musical world. This week's episode is really a trip through some neglected pop music that inhabits the multiverse and that is not on any popular radio in the U.S. (for the most part). Episode 195 explores that indie pop genre with some lyrically catchy and somewhat dark themes sprinkled throughout. It is interesting to hear music that is somewhat upbeat and then takes that dark sharp left into the uncomfortable. .. Continue reading →

Well, I'm back again for another week of newish fine-ish music. Thanks for the positive comments. I missed you all as well. So, there should be some candy in this week's episode of Tales From The Drop Box because for some unknown reason there are more pop sounds than usual. So, don't be alarmed if there is not a plethora of heavy music or you missed your favorite punk rock track. We will get back there at some point but for now, . . Continue reading →

Well I bet you thought that this podcast had evaporated int othe sands of time. It still might, but I'm going to give it a shot. As this is only the 5th Episode of Tales From The Drop Box in 2021, and We've had a vaccine in the time I've been away, I'm hoping that as things now after some clusterfackerry are hopefully heading on a positive trajectory. Maybe it was January 6th that got me sideways, but I'll try to get back on track. So, rather than jibber-jabber about nonsense, here is what you came for Continue reading →

Valentines day. The day after the U.S. Senate's shameful action in acquitting the traitor and insurrection inciter who lead an attack on the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021 resulting in the deaths of 5 Americans and numerous injuries to those who defended the same morally bankrupt and timid senators who voted to acquit. Shameful. January 6 marked the day that democracy was rendered meaningless by a corrupt leader but democracy died on February 13, 2021 when 43 senators knowingly and willfully violated their oath of office to preserve their power advancing their own individual interests over the people they were elected to represent and the Constitution they swore an oath to uphold and defend against all enemies foreign and domestic. Liars. Shameful and shameless. Here is what you will find in Episode 192 (2021-04): Continue reading →

So massively cool you will be a little dizzy after this latest episode of Tales From The Drop Box Episode 191 (2021-03). Another Super Bowl Sunday. I'm not sure I have any skin in the game, but I'll watch because it is a short attention diversion as I am still trapped inside because I am still trying to avoid crowds and gatherings until such time as we ( the royal societal we) are able to resume some type of safe human interaction with strangers. Even when the pandemic is over, I am not sure how safe we will be with the number of certifiable nut jobs on the loose in this nation. The real time coverage of the ass wipes who attempted the January 6 insurrection in the service of Trump - a repository of all things evil, does not give me much confidence that people will suddenly wake up from this 4 year nightmare saying "what happened? Let's all be good to one another, right? Why can't we all just get along? Trump exposed and gave voice to the evil that lies in the heart of man. Combined with a Republican party corrupted to its amoral core willing to accept evil under the "big Republican tent", I am not sure that we are not headed to a full reckoning involving violence. Well, so that I don't sound paranoid, let's hope that I am incorrect and that humanity will course correct and head towards self-actualized positivity as a society rejecting the temptation to divide through arbitrary classification....
