Here are all the headlines from Monday this week.
Don’t forget the show at Lacuna Artist Loft Studios this Saturday, October 13. It’s a free event, with free beer samples from Powell Brew House.
Poor Elvis will also be playing a couple acoustic sets during the event, which starts at 12 noon and runs until 6pm.
Come on out! There’s more info here.
It’s been a whole lot of time since I posted a new song.
It’s been a whole lot of time since I wrote a new song.
But, I figured today was a good day to do both.
It’s my daughter’s first birthday. This song is for her. Only she would be able to understand it, I think.
To everyone else it makes no sense. It hardly makes sense to me.
So that’s that.
Happy Birthday, Della. Shake that pineapple can.

Random Record Pick is a way to organize and archive an always-growing collection of vinyl records. Each record is randomly picked from a shelf or crate or dusty corner of my house, a photo is taken of the cover, and then the entire record is played all the way through, even if it’s terrible.
Okay, I couldn’t resist breaking my rule of only buying one record per week. I eat this type of stuff up and it was just sitting there at the front of the stack.
So, I felt it was time to start doing these again. A month to go to a lot of things. Or a few things. Or…I guess, probably, that the headlines are gonna start to get really funny.
So you get this.
Now, you may notice, if you were keeping track, that the music is a little different. And maybe you’re saying to yourself, “Hey, Self, I really don’t think these are “Talkin’ Blues” songs in the traditional sense. What the heck is going on here?”
I’d say to that: Thanks for paying attention.
Okay, well, this week sure did slip right out from under me.
So…no new song and no re-recorded tune from last year.
But! Here’s the Talkin’ Headline for this week. Written on Monday. That’s something, no?
Also, here’s something…a Poor Elvis show on Saturday at Favorite Records. And Powell Brew House will be pouring free beer samples. If you miss out on that you’re a really big jerk. Here’s the info on facebook.
