Today, I celebrate my third Father’s Day. That, I know. As for everything else … not so much. Basically, I’m Sargent Schultz.
During May 2013, DeadJournalist will be featuring posts from guest writers on a variety of music-related topics. Kicking-off this series is a piece by musician Alicia Halm.
Yesterday’s release of the Brad Paisley/LL Cool J country-rap cross-over song – “Accidental Racist” – ignited a fire-storm of criticism on social media. Here is my perspective on the song, in a formal editorial, after I expressed my views last night on Twitter.
No year-end music list for me (I don’t do them). But, here is my own look-back at a few things I did like about 2012.
This editorial is all about me and my need to find a roadmap. Jason Isbell’s “Outfit” provides the musical back-drop.

Hey look kids, I get all annoyed over a successful execution of online publishing! All because of a single, five-letter word. Oh, and also because marketing isn’t journalist, even when it comes to music.
Relative to others, my past birthdays may have been lame. But as I get older, I realize, that’s not really the point. Birthdays should really be about memories and thank yous.
For a decade, Cake sounded like a spaghetti western got fucked up one night and had a threesome with a blaxploitation film and Jerry Reed. That’s just one of the reasons they remain one of my favorite bands of all-time and yet I still take them for granted … and you do, too.
