The New Breeders album Mountain Battles is the best record I have heard in quite some time. Oh, Mercury.
The World Won’t Listen. Phil Collins. Dallas Museum of Art.
I heard about this a few months ago. Phil Collins (not that one) filmed people in Indonesia, Turkey and Colombia doing karaoke to Smiths songs from the compilation album The World Won’t Listen. Being a gigantic Smiths fan, my first thought [...]
Well, hello.
Last night was the final show of my “see Morrissey three times in a week” week. He played “Girlfriend in a Coma”. The show was great, but now it’s time to shift focus to other things. I need to work on my degree project and I have a couple of new [...]
This is Kristeen Young. She has been Morrissey’s opening act for quite some time now. I had never heard her until last Saturday. My first thought upon seeing her on stage was that I liked a plexiglass thing that she was wearing on her neck. I liked a couple [...]

Life is full of highlights.
Countdown to October 12th super fan-out.
I saw Dinosaur Jr. and Band of Horses play at the Wiltern on Saturday night. Band of Horses are really good live. But I was there to see Dinosaur Jr. First things first, you really need to see them live to appreciate what an exceptionally phenomenal guitarist J Mascis is. And to see them playing [...]
