Go go oxford comma!
Ahem. Anyway. So! I’ve always been somewhat of an evangelist — but not in the religious sense (although I did go through a phase that could be said to approximate that O.o). I’ve always been maybe a little too motivated (at least internally) about sharing the music & books that I enjoy [...]

I want it now.
To speak at you, and you at me
only
speak of my issues please only please,
and instantly; my needs.
I can’t help but wish I
had prepared myself in youth with patience and
OH. I had it; gonenow
and OH. PS disregard those texts I was
drunk.

Oh wait, this was actually supposed to be a post about [...]

We’re not done with the 00’s yet — so we’ll get to that later.
Here’s my question — does anyone know of a song
a) as good as No Surrender, sonically, lyrically and thematically (within the quality boundaries of the decade) with
b) a title direct, yet powerful enough that one wouldn’t necessarily be embarrassed to get a [...]

I’m sure this is probably a meme…how can it not be right? But it came to me on my way to lunch today, so I’m going to roll with it and pretend I made it up.
So, the task:
Songs that trigger an emotional resonance, or strong memory, when you hear them. THEY DO NOT HAVE [...]

I wish I could remember where/why/how we first heard this band, all I remember is that it happened when we lived in our first place in LA. We heard this first track (maybe on Morning Becomes Eclectic or something??) and loved it, and I had to get the cd. The rest, as they say, is [...]

Yes, so far all the bands I’ve mentioned are defunct. It’s a fuckin’ shame I know.
This will continue that cycle.
So who was Common Rider? Jesse from Op Ivy’s next project. They put out two full lengths, and one post-mortem split ep. There’s also a vinyl EP that I don’t have…because I don’t do vinyl. Man, [...]

Real loud.
Naahh, it’s not related to anything.
But it’s good shit.
And it’s good to be alive. And with family, and employed.
I’m serious. Turn that shit up.
On an unrelated note:

What’s cooler than the Hold Steady doing Dylan?
The Hold Steady doing Springsteen?
Nah actually I like the Dylan cover a little bit more. Both are kick ass though.

“But wait,” you say “isn’t Andy a punker?” Well, not really, although you might think that by the other albums I’ve got in my 95% bracket. I love music, in all its glori–no wait, in about 70% of its glorious forms. And rock’n’roll happens to be a nice chunk of that. [...]

Is there an image better known in punk rock than this one? (Ok, maybe this one – man that reminds me, I have a magazine cover print of that somewhere without the album lettering on it. Man is that awesome! Gotta find it).
Well, the two are 10 years apart (79-89), so they might [...]
