This came around?
I don’t really, but I remember that the guitar part was fairly simple and I could almost play it passably. How strange that they are what they are now, and that they spawned SO many (poor) imitators. This wasn’t the first single…in fact it was the last, but for some reason it’s the [...]

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, [...]

Jen was playing this for some reason this morning (something to do with Abba), and it hit me: [...]

I don’t usually post for single links (but who knows, maybe I’ll start, some things do need more discussion) but this story was so vile that I had to.
Plainclothes police officers beat and attempt to kidnap a 12 year old girl. Father charged with assaulting police officers for trying to stop 3 men from dragging [...]

I realized there is an alternate interpretation to Hootie and the Blowfish’s great anthem to dopey 90s rock-pop “Only Wanna Be With You.”
My Linguistics is so rusty I can’t recall the proper way to present the semantics, but basically it’s the other usage of only.
