I am the grit in the gears, the missing bolt, I am the poker of sticks into spokes. I like to know how things work, but sometimes when I take them apart and rebuild them, I have a few pieces left over. I am a man, so I tend to leave reading the instructions until after it goes wrong. And like all men I have a comprehensive mental map of the world and never need to ask directions. I never get lost, only sometimes I'm late, or end up in the wrong place entirely. It's what we do.

Homemade Jamz Blues Band.
Just happened across these guys via the magic of the internet...or Bifurcated Rivets...
Bifurcated posts a delicious selection of "eclectica for epopts". So if you're an epopt short of some eclectica, a visit might be of worth.
The Homemade Jamz Blues Band is a trio of siblings in Tupelo, Kyle, age 14, Taya, 9, and frontman Ryan, 16... So it's a kids band, yeah?Nope. Not at all, It's a blues band. For people who like to listen to the blues.
Rather than post a youtube... Here's a couple of links, one to their "Myspace" site, listen there...
Oh... and check out their myspace friends-headed by BB King, I see Taj Mahal there, Eric Clapton... Alicia Keys...
Also see them at NPR, and listen to more tracks.
They are in demand, a notable tour schedule... Chicago, Canada, Switzerland, they're good.
And their drummer is nine years old!

"Stuff the Rules of Blogging", I Say.
Sooberkwit here.
I must alopogise, confess, if you like. See, I keep losing my muse and then, sitting at a blank screen, I can't think of anything to say, or at least anything anyone else might be interested to hear.
So I cheat a little and post videos.
And yes, that most recent one, the buzzball, it's been annoying me too.
Now, here and there over the innertent, I keep hearing people tell of "the rules", and they tell of things that you must do, things you must Not do. Well, nobody issued me with a rule book, nor did anyone consult me on the need for rules, so I don't always feel that I need do the obligatory stuff, like, er always commenting on blogs I visit for fear of being labelled a "lurker" In fact, lets hear it for lurkers! I've read many a thousand books, and never once written to an author to praise or kvetch, so does that make me a book lurker?
Anyway. Buzzball. Watch me now as I kill that post. Stone dead. Gone.
See?
F*** the rules. As a boggler, you can kill posts as well as create them. So there.
