The all-inclusive 10 Worst Holiday Songs List revisited
I’m not always cynical
Just in time for the holidays, Elvis Costello has a new $225 box set for sale — and he’s telling fans NOT to buy it. … “Unfortunately, we at www.elviscostello.com find ourselves unable to recommend this lovely item to you as the price appears to be either a misprint or a satire,” Costello wrote on his [...]
5SM: november 28
Hey y’all! It’s a fucking five song Monday! I have been listening to some great new music lately, and here are five fantastic tracks that I can’t wait for you to hear. Also, it is nearing that time of year where the best of albums list gets compiled, and while I have quite a list [...]
I wish this song would jump off a ledge
I doubt anyone would object to pepper spraying Third Eye Blind (never thought I’d be typing those three words again), if not for their past sins than for this anthem dedicated to OWS.

Featured Event: Criminal Records Benefit at The Cottage
By now, you’ve undoubtedly heard about the Save Criminal Records campaign. It had a November deadline for fundraising. There have been countless concerts and rallies to help save Atlanta’s biggest record store and their efforts have made a difference. The store’s here to stay (for now). Saving them from immediate closure was one step, but [...]
sotd: Will Young – Come On
Cute guy, cute video, great song; what’s not to love?
Hence, why it’s the song of the day, duh.
Review: The Raconteurs at The Tabernacle
The Raconteurs, with only a hand-full of shows of their calendar for 2011, played a sold-out crowed at The Tabernacle this past Sunday night. The supergroup featuring Jack White (The White Stripes), Brendan Benson, Jack Lawrence, and Patrick Keeler (the latter two of The Greenhornes) brought their two albums of material to The Tabernacle with [...]
Money, cash, hypocrisy
Jay-Z’s Rocawear has come out with a T-shirt emblazoned with “Occupy All Streets” to spread the news that “there is change to be made everywhere” and not just on Wall Street. But if Occupy Atlanta and other offshoots of the … Continue reading →

Detroit fans say no to Nickelback
I’m impressed. “Detroit is home to so many great musicians and they chose Nickelback?!?!?! Does anyone even like Nickelback?,” asks Lions fan Dennis Guttman. “Is this some sort of ploy to get people to leave their seats during halftime to spend money on alcoholic beverages and concessions? This is completely unfair to those of us [...]
5SW: november 2
Howdy! Long time no talk, eh? Well, things are going well here. I am on my own at work, and I am doing okay; I know that it’s going to take a while before I am fully comfortable with this whole nursing on my own thing. Other than that, I have been trying to enjoy [...]
sotd: Jason Walker – Echo
Today’s song of the day is simply beautiful. I have been loving this song ever since I discovered it; it was playing in the background on the Vampire Diaries a few episodes ago. Boy, that show has some really great music! What a great ballad, huh? Also, I guess this makes this a 1SF? Eh, [...]
The new Golden Girls?
This picture of Debbie Harry and Sinead O’Connor made me feel old, though not as old as them.

almost better than the real thing
Disturbingly rare are the chances the Mrs and I have to go out and hear live music. However, when the opportunity to see an awesome cover band called Yacht Rock play the entire Thriller and Purple Rain albums at a small venue on a Saturday night presented itself, I had to buy tickets to nostalgia. [...]
