I don’t want to play ‘Pandemic’ anymore. I really don’t. I’ve had enough of not seeing my friends and family, of scarcities and lineups that make me feel like I’m in post-Communist Russia, and of people being cranky. I’m sick of worrying about if there’s enough of this or that and if not, how to figure out when and where to get more, and I’ve had it with not being able to just go out to restaurants and socialize like normal people… I’ve had enough.

Roxanne Tellier – Thanksgiving And VOTE!
Posted in Family, Food, life, Opinion, politics with tags DBAWIS, elections, politics, Roxanne Tellier, segarini, Thanksgiving, Vote on October 13, 2019 by segariniI have only two things on my mind today …..
First … Wherever you find yourself this Thanksgiving, on which ever day upon which you choose to celebrate the holiday, enjoy the moment.
I hope you are surrounded with people you love .. or like … or at least with people that you can tolerate, even if only in consideration of a nice, hot, three course meal at some point.

Frank Gutch Jr: It’s Thanksgiving…
Posted in Opinion with tags DBAWIS, Don't Believe a Word I Say, Frank Gutch Jr., Thanksgiving, Year End Picks on November 23, 2011 by segarini …and boy, do we have something to be thankful about! 2011 has been a killer year for music in spite of the negative press the industry has been given by a media focused on the apocalypse. A killer year! I ran a column on the best of the first half of the year back in June (read here) and as is my custom, I am ready to update. Keep in mind that I am all about the Indies and my year runs from December to December so as to avoid the inevitable bottleneck come the first of the year (a trick I picked up from veteran writers who also wanted to skirt said bottleneck). So, without further ado, let us dive into the albums and EPs which have made the second half of this year so memorable.
