  • The National: at the Comet in Northside

    Sad Songs for Dirty Lovers Living in Northside is already paying off. After hedging and complaining that we’re old fogies, Tom and I made it out to the Comet up the street to catch a band. Small world, he knew some of the members from college and here they were back in town, on the…

  • Beta Love

    A mixed bag I made a mix a while ago, just by doing a search for love in my playlist. I figured it was a good a day as any to see what else had been added over the year and see what I had imported, bought or borrowed. Here it is: The Love Playlist.

  • Grandaddy – Southgate House, Newport KY

    Now it’s on Took my stuffy headed, sneezy ass out at 9 pm to meet up with Tom at the Southgate House to see Grandaddy… The folks behind my favorite album (thus far) of the year, a great companion on my roadtrip that still holds a spot in the CD-changer. Let’s see, where to begin?…
