I’ve added ten new tracks to Music For Monkeys, two of which are in honor of J. Scrivner’s recent visit to Adverb.
The first to correctly identify the two tracks will win a bottle of Valentina hot sauce, Mexico’s finest, to be shipped to your address, worldwide.

The Internet is a wonderful thing.
Yesterday I received a surprise email in my in-box from a good friend of mine from my high school days.
J. Scrivner who, among other things, was my doubles partner on my high school tennis team, had looked me up, guessed at my email address and dropped me a line.
J. (just J., thank you very much) was the original inventor of the ironic/sarcastic mold that most of us Gen-Xers were to become known for once we hit the mainstream.
He and I teamed up in doubles (I had a big serve, he had a giant-killer of a drop shot), on dubbing then-new-to-everyone hip-hop tapes and on practicing the underground art of hacking Commodore 64 copyright protection schemes (it’s true).
J., always the brighter side of the team, went off to school to study Engineering and has since had a couple of kids. Me, I just drank a lot and wound up selling my creative services, whore-like, to the highest bidder.
I haven’t seen him in almost twenty (holy fuck!) years but hopefully we can rectify that sometime soon.
He sent along a picture to prove that both of us were, indeed, young at one time that brought a smile to my face.
Hopefully he’ll stick around Adverb and can help offer a left-brain perspective to all our right-brain babble.
Thanks for getting in touch, Doctor Strange– I mean J.– it made my week.
