You sparkle and you bubble

How could I do anything other than sparkle when you’re around?   The way we frolic together would make anyone glisten. That glint when you’re watching makes me bubble up with the silliness that causes that twinkle. And after all Read more ›

Your knees would bend an’ your hair would curl

If you could have only seen what happened. I try to tell you.  I try to describe every last detail, to make sure you can hear every sound, to imagine every single move. Sometimes you’re just too far away, sometimes Read more ›

Then you rave, you even crave

After being with you every week, I just can’t seem to keep it to myself how much I enjoyed it. I try really hard not to keep gushing it at you over at the Bubbles in the Think Tank Facebook Read more ›

Freedom is the handle on the bucket of your soul

Two bucket-centric posts in a row from Belinda.  At least I’ve got the stash ‘o’ pix.  But now for the “actual” content of today’s post. I’ve taken to choosing the titles of the posts for this site by looking at Read more ›

Have you ever been told that you look like a llama?

You know llamas are right up there with the monkeys and the chickens in the Bubbles in the Think Tank oeuvre.  Heck, you should have seen me this week fighting back the laughing tears at the new statement of anger:  Read more ›

How you ‘spect to get your corn meal made?

I’ve been thinking a lot about process lately.  Those who know me know that I frequently do, but that’s usually more about organizational process at work.  These days, it’s all about mine. Stunned to think that Belinda is thinking only Read more ›

Everything is cool ’cause he’s there digging me

A sampling of joys in my Bubbles in the Think Tank life: When listeners let me know (even before the show starts) they are disappointed when life keeps them from listening. Playing something that I know Not Todd will love. Read more ›

I try to find a way to make all our little joys relate

Another week, another show.  At least that’s what one might expect I feel. I spent eight hours on a train today on the way to DC.  I came prepared with my laptop, a  magazine and snacks.  Thank goodness. Not only Read more ›

You’re just talking about words

I’ve been quizzed a few times over the years about why I will occasionally play material that is clearly not funny on Bubbles in the Think Tank.  I usually just fall back on the standard “it’s not a comedy show, Read more ›

If you’re from Kentucky, you can beat the odds

Kentucky is the saddest state.  Or so says the Centers for Disease Control. But you’d never know it by listening to Bubbles in the Think Tank.  Oh, we are definitely prone to a bout of melancholy on occasion or even Read more ›

29 ways to show your Pride

We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again: The Pride never stops at Bubbles in the Think Tank. And in that spirit, the we bring you this episode of LBGTQI fabulousity, old and new and so much in between. Read more ›

Are you Randy in the Morning?

Now that’s an intimate question. Or is it just another insider style question asked by the self-styled leader of the original Think Tank Posse that merely references the title of a song about a radio show host?  How referential do Read more ›

How a radio show made me modulate myself

As long as I didn’t over-modulate myself. That would be the real shame. Bubbles in the Think Tank is many things to many people.  Sometimes many things to just one person.  On occasion it seems like it’s nothing to anyone Read more ›

Do You Recognize the 10 Early Warning Signs of a Clang!over?

1.  Catching yourself humming “Florida” on the train loud enough that other passengers notice. 2.  Ending the answers to all questions with “Sir!” 3.  Sending Scopitone clips to your parents. 4.  Suggesting to Chandler Travis that he may be in Read more ›

Here’s a quick way to know everything you need to know about Belinda

This show is so pre-9/11. Really.  The date of the show is August 27, 2001.  All in all, a pretty good show.  The first half (joined in progress) is a rollicking leftover and request show.  Belinda has just made her Read more ›

Here is a method that is helping the trout-mouthed to feel like kids again

Sadly, a headline like that isn’t even referencing Sonic Trout.  A wasted shame really. Media masters galore pepper this week’s installment of Bubbles in the Think Tank EAST.  From the instrumental tribute to The Avengers to the RadiObituary remembrances of Read more ›

Goodbye, Lux

Our RadiObituary segment had a full agenda this week with the passing of Lux Interior of The Cramps, Dewey Martin of Buffalo Springfield, and the character actor James Whitfield.  All that on top of more silliness including the Pee-Wee’s Playhouse Read more ›

Election-esqe

Yes, I am well aware that you are done with this election past.  22 months was enough for any of us.  But that doesn’t mean that you can’t still enjoy a little non campaign-specific election silliness. Belinda comes out of Read more ›
