You can go to extremes with impossible schemes

I get ideas. Then I like to push them as far as I can. We both usually benefit from my scheming…rarely does it go wrong. But it always gives us the chance we need to be together, to experience as Read more ›

A hypnotizing cat’s in town

It really doesn’t matter what we do or where we’re at.  You always seem to be able to use your powers to get me to do your bidding. At least that’s how it seems sometimes when I’m doing the show. Read more ›

We’re making another record – and we need your love to do it!

Bubbles in the Think Tank Records is pleased to announce that we’re making another record about records for Record Store Say 2014. Scheduled for release on Record Store Day 2014 (Saturday April 19) 7 Inches & Other Delights will be the followup Read more ›

If you want to give a show, just give a show

When I was a kid, I was totally into putting on shows.  I never so much wanted to be in the front, I was more the impresario type. I’d convince teachers to let me put together a play.  I organized Read more ›

Making waves across my time

It’s like a wave that comes over me sometimes. I just think about the show and I get this feeling in my chest, a little week in the knees, a bit flush in the cheeks. You’d think it was a Read more ›

I love a fireside when a storm is due

You all know by now that I love a good storm.  Almost any kind of storm. And a storm once the weather cools…well, you know that a fire is in order. Luckily I carry my own with me where ever Read more ›

Til these hours that we share, disappear in the morning air

Those hours we get to share are some of the best hours I have.  If they weren’t so perfect, I wouldn’t feel like there are never enough of them.  And I probably wouldn’t need to keep coming back for more Read more ›

I dim the lights down very low, here we go

During our time together, I don’t like for it to be too bright.  I don’t want it to be totally dark though.  I mean, after all, I need to see what I’m doing. How else am I going to hit Read more ›

Let it rain, let it pour, ’cause I think he knows just what it’s rainin’ for!

There’s no doubt about this kind of thing when it comes to me. You’ve read way too many of my ramblings over the years about me and rain and thunder and all that. Yet somehow these days I love it Read more ›

In fact, i got this hug that’s been building up

That’s how it works all week. I leave you behind at the end of every episode of Bubbles in the Think Tank whether I want to or not.  And I think that you know that it’s a not. Then I Read more ›

Just to walk with you along the Milky Way

We see each other at night so much. But we’ve never been anywhere that we can see the Milky Way together.  That’s where we ought to go next. A place so dark that no one else knows we’re there.  A Read more ›

You stay up later when everything’s outside

You keep me up later than I would be otherwise. I stay up thinking about what I’m going to do for you next, waiting for you to tell me what you want and hoping it’s something I can give you. Read more ›

Even when the lights go out, still got things to think about

I lay in the bed at night, in the dark, you’re probably sleeping peacefully, and I think. I think about how much I love to bring to you all the silliness that you seem to need every night we get Read more ›

At last the stars are bright and shiny

When I walk out of the studio every week, I look. Can I see any stars, even in the city?  Is it a full moon?  How fast are the clouds moving?  Could that be…? I used to drive to the Read more ›

When lights are few you know what to do

It seems like we’re almost always together after dark. I may do the occasional daytime show, but by and large I wait until the sun goes down.  I like to work blue, after all. But I don’t like the bright Read more ›

C’mon honey, do you hear what I’m doing now?

You listen so close.  You want to hear it all.  It’s all so musical. Even when it’s not me…and it’s Sweet Joe Silver, Churlman of the Board, NYC Office! Joe made it to the WMFO studios for the second in Read more ›

Used to spend my evenings all alone

Actually, I guess I spend more of my evenings alone now than ever before. But when I don’t, do I make it count. I like to get as much time with you as possible and shut out all of those Read more ›

Why don’t you leave it on repeat all day?

As though you could get me to stop repeating…. Someone asked me a few days ago how I could be on the radio and sound so in command when I’m such an introvert. (We can debate any part of that Read more ›

Sopping, sopping, there’s no stopping now

  I like to soak you in silliness whenever I get the chance. But it’s not just you.  I find myself awash with the witticisms that I find for you. I’m immersed in it all, drenched by the overflow of what Read more ›

But don’t you try talking when you’re ringing my bell

I can barely talk when it’s happening sometimes. I might manage to get a little squeak out but ,if I somehow manage more, there’s no guarantee I’ll get out what I want to say, the way I want to say Read more ›

It controls my clothes

You’ve heard about my beginning of the show ritual.  More accurately, you’ve probably just heard it. The show opens and I take to the mic to introduce the night’s program.  By rote, I say the same things to start every Read more ›

Gotta light the oven, gonna cook a dish of lovin’

You know it’s all about the love at Bubbles in the Think Tank, and what better way to show that love than to cook up a heapin’ helpin’ of silliness? That’s just what Belinda & I did in this show. Read more ›

I said-a find it, find it, darling, love it if you like it, yeah-eh – The B’s Knees 2012

I have to keep my knees in shape to support all of the love I have for the music we play at Bubbles in the Think Tank. I don’t fall in love easy, but, when I do, it’s in a Read more ›

I’m ignoring our expiration date

I can’t even imagine an expiration to these times. Sure, sometimes it’s curtains for us but only so no one can see. When I talk about my last breath, it’s usually about catching it after a particularly fine romp through Read more ›

Cross my fingers, uncross the others

My fingers are always crossed right up until I’m on the air with you. The happy chance that it works for us every time can only be a run of luck.  The flukiness of it all plunges my mind. But Read more ›

It’s the time of year when all good dreams come true

I almost got so lost in my dream that this post was near blank. No lyrics for a title. No turns of phrase. No thinking hard about what goes here. No, just the pure goodness of Belinda and the January Read more ›

Their spirits are wild and bubbly like a fountain

It’s always like that when Belinda and January Fairy get together. We’ll spray effervescent silliness all over you.  Much like the glitter that always remains upon the JF’s departure. But fret not!  There is still one more episode with Bubbles in Read more ›

Cool enough to cool you down like a summer vacation

Sure, it might be cold out now, but I still remember when it was hot.  And yet, I still find myself in need of a cooldown on a few occasions even in this season. Not that it matters too much…I Read more ›
