Did I ever tell you about the summer I tried to learn to like beer? I was in college, beer was cheap and I was poor. The only problem was that I absolutely hated the taste of beer. I decided to attack the problem head on. I would try and try and try dozens of [...]
According to iTunes I didn’t really love very many albums released in 2009. The ones I did love though I really loved. 1. Blood Bank (EP) – Bon Iver Oh child, I love me some Bon Iver. I need him to release another new album with the quickness. I’ve listened to his full length debut [...]
I had heard the track 100m Backstroke on MTV2. Do you remember what MTV2 was like when it first came out? It was basically like the digital music channels on cable are today. Music playing over stills and information about the artist. At least that’s how I remember it. It’s absolutely possible that I’m wrong [...]
Harry: What is this we’re listening to? Karen: Joni Mitchell. Harry: I can’t believe you still listen to Joni Mitchell. Karen:I love her and true love lasts a lifetime. Love Actually Inspired in part by all the end of year and end of decade lists but mostly by Jason’s awesome The Two Zeros series I’m about [...]
Neko Case, whom I love, is doing an interesting thing to promote the first single off her upcoming album. For every blog that posts the mp3 of the single “People Got A Lot of Nerve” Neko and her record label Anti will donate $5 to Best Friends Animal Society, which I also love. Celebrating its [...]

1. I love office supply stores. A new Staples opened up in the neighborhood (finally an office supply store in the neighborhood!) and I love to wander the aisles and buy post it notes, photo mailers, printer paper, ink cartridges. Happiness is a well stocked office supply cabinet. 2. I’ve grown so bored with The [...]
I’ve already had two rounds of present opening and I feel almost dirty from the embarrassment of music riches I’ve amassed. As an aside I think I really need to take a stand against present buying next year. For part of my family though buying presents at Christmas is the only real outward way of [...]
I got up to a Twitter update from George letting me know Dan Fogelberg had died. That news added a layer of sadness to my day. On Saturday B and I were driving around my hometown and “Same Old Lang Syne” came on the radio. I tried but couldn’t adequately explain to her how much [...]
Sufjan Stevens is an interesting artist to say this least. I am fascinated by his latest project The Great Sufjan Song Xmas Xchange. Here’s how it works: write an original Christmas song, record it, and send the song to us (see below for instructions). Asthmatic Kitty will pick a winner, and that person will trade [...]
