20.   19. 18. 17. 16. 15. 14.  OK, kids, without looking it up, in what Broadway musical did this song first appear, and who wrote it?  I’ll be ‘danged’ if you can get it… 13. Has anybody seen God and Kendrick Lamar in the same place at the same time? No? It could be […]

‘Bulo’s Fave Tunes Of 2017: #’s 30-21!!

Notice my subtle suspense-building mechanism of adding an additional exclamation point each day? Just working on my subliminal mind-control techniques should they become necessary. Today’s tunes run the gamut from the profane to…the not-so profane: 30.  29.      28. 27.  26. 25. 24. 23. 22. They had me at the Curtis Mayfield sample:   […]

Had at least 100 songs I considered.  Resulting in an incredibly diverse list– or at least as diverse as a 66-year-old guy who is set in his ways can muster.  I hope you discover some gems along the way to #1.  Let’s get started: 50.  49. 48. 47.  46. 45. 44.     43.  42. […]

Read Joe Irazarry’s story here. She defines the term ‘grifter’.  I’m beginning to think she doesn’t even get to complete her term b/c of legal issues.

Alby is incommunicado this morning, no doubt hanging with some amis of his, enjoying a croissant avec beurre blanc, and trying on berets. I’ll attempt to squeeze my pieds into his, um,  soul shoes. The Great Robbery Of 2017 is almost complete.  The blatant transfer of more wealth to those who needed it least. The […]
