Just recently my boys (2 & 3.5) decided that they liked Downbound Train [not embedded because I couldn't find the album version] – the title above is an attempt to transfer into letters the sounds that are produced by my oldest when he names the song. Yes, it IS adorable. Maybe they just like it [...]

local recordstore is getting snooty when they fail to list Bruce Springsteen’s new album on their new releases list. Because, you know, he doesn’t have many fans left, probably won’t sell many records, or whatever. They had Franz Ferdinand and some other random indie band on the list for today.

“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. And this happens to [...]
