The Talkin’ Headline Blues #99
Tantrum is a hard word to sing.
Chris Brown is also a hard word to sing.
Hey, did you notice this is the 99th version of this song? That means the next one I record is a SIGNIFICANT MILESTONE. Also, did you know it’s been almost exactly three whole years since I did the very first Talkin’ Headline Blues?
Reading that old post sure does take ya down memory lane, huh?
In other news, I’ll be performing on November 4 at the Hungry Brain. Yeah, seriously. Someone talked me into it. Check out the details here.
I haven’t played live (and I’ve barely played at all) since like March and not seriously since, like, oh, Summer 2012.
It’ll be INTERESTING.
It seems like maybe the show is free. It looks like it starts at 9pm. It’s on a Monday night at the Hungry Brain. I’m only playing two songs and I have no idea when that’ll happen. SO EASY TO MISS THIS.

The Talkin’ CTA Bus Blues
Mass Media Week
Here’s a song I wrote about the great CTA bus system back in the wintertime of 2009. I jotted it down after reading this newspaper article.
Now, I first read it in the Chicago Tribune, that great Mass Media Establishment of Reputable Degree, and I just kinda had to write a song. This one wasn’t a struggle at all. I think I remember I wrote it all in about 5 minutes and probably didn’t go back and edit it at all, except for a line or two.
You have to read it online, though, cause all the old papers have been burned up, so I couldn’t scan in the original.
I think I only played the Talkin’ CTA Bus Blues out once, maybe twice. The one time I definitely remember was right after I joined the Barehand Jugband and I played a quick “break set” in-between our multiple sets back when we had a regular show at the Horseshoe. Anyway, probably 3 people heard it that night. And the band doesn’t play at the Horseshoe anymore, at all, ever.
So, read that article and listen to the song and leave me comment if you’re feelin friendly.
