This may well be the last Capsule Garden for 2025, as I want to finish a year-in-review article before taking a break at the end of December. But no worries, it will return in 2026. A lot of personal housekeeping ahead, so if you are uninterested in my work, The Jewel Garden, etc., feel free […]
It’s been over a month since the last Capsule Garden. I didn’t expect it to be that long in between, but October was such a busy month that, in hindsight, I shouldn’t be surprised. On the 13th, Charmaine Lee’s tour rolled into town. We brought Godseye (Eden Hemming, Nathan Young, and me) back for the […]
I don’t know how it’s almost October. Wild. Things have been busy out in Tulsa, and the next two months will offer no respite. It’s not a bad thing, of course, but it also seems like too many projects keep getting pushed off and pushed off (hence there being six weeks in between Capsule Garden […]
It may still be 100 degrees outside, but in my mind, summer is officially over. Mainly because my kid started back at school yesterday (entering middle school – oof!), so I have to try and transition out of summer-camp-dad-mode. How am I going to do that? No clue, but hopefully I’ll start feeling less fried. […]
I can’t believe tomorrow is August. This summer has flown by, and though I’m certainly ready for the blazing Tulsa heat to subside, I’m also feeling a bit bummed. This was the first summer in a decade that my daughter did not go to any summer camps and was home with me all summer. We’ve […]
I underestimated how much time I would have this summer for things outside of personal/family responsibilities. It’s the first year in a long, long time my daughter hasn’t gone to any summer camps (a decision made for various reasons), and while we’ve been having a blast, it hasn’t left as much time for music/art/writing (and […]
I’ve been spending a lot of time painting and drawing over the last few weeks which means I’ve been listening to a mountain of new music in the process. I finally figured out a good system for taking notes so I’ve been able to put together capsule reviews more regularly. It feels good! There is, […]
So many things and so many pieces are moving at different speeds and in different directions lately that I want to just let go of the ride and see where I land. This is not a complaint, at all, because most of these things are excellent, yet overwhelming nonetheless. Summer is upon us, though, so […]
Life has been a whirlwind lately of collapse and good fortune, and I’m not entirely sure what to make of it all. What I do know is that there is a lot of great music coming out right now, and this is only a small taste. Elijah Jamal Asani ,,, as long as i long […]
