Ditto Ditto Ditto Even though I had Murmur and at the end of the day probably like Murmur more than Reckoning, it was Reckoning that really sucked me in. I used to listen to Harborcoat about 50 times a day.

The Mekons beat you to it.

My 14-year old son was laughing hysterically at the opening bit with Kevin and the chili. It was pretty well done.

I was never the biggest Boston fan, even as a kid when their songs were everywhere. But the infighting between past and current band members has just stepped up a notch based on the message Tom Scholz posted on the Boston website yesterday. BOSTON shows, myths, and truths by Tom Scholz In spite of recent misleading ads claiming BOSTON appearances and even reunions of original members, BOSTON is not touring or performing this year. While we're off this summer, several of our members are involved with other projects that are worth catching if you can: Kimberley Dahme is releasi

The 1973 Mets might argue they used it first ...

This is about to be re-released on Nonesuch and they are touring. I'm excited to see them.

And remember how Jon Lester was going to be really good again? He's having another tough night.

Robert Hunter, in his book Box of Rain, notes that "This song was dropped from the Grateful Dead repertoire at the request of fans. Seriously."

As was Day Job in the early to mid 80s ...

I suppose you don't know me but I've been listening to Sonic Youth since Evol and I prefer Rather Ripped to Sonic Nurse.

I think you should get most of their records ...

This is sort of embarassing. I was just in a record store and it was playing and sounded great. I went up to the front desk to see what it was and it turns out that I already own it but just haven't listened to it all that much.

I was in Colonial Williamsburg last week. I assumed I would see hipsters in tri-cornered trucker hats riding their fixie carriages around. Needless to say, I was disappointed.

Love the movie but never read the book.

Here is where I first heard of

Worcester DA: Former pitcher Fidrych died of suffocation April 16, 2009 02:23 PM The death this week in Northborough of Mark Fidrych, the former Detroit Tigers pitcher known for his charm and on-the-mound antics, has been ruled an accident, the Worcester district attorney announced today.

I know this isn't really American Idol but it is Simon Cowell and it's pretty funny and good: Susan Boyle

That's my favorite Lambchop song.

Interesting article in today's New York Times about what is the best Grateful Dead show ever.

I work with a guy who consistently mixes up "exacerbate" and "exasperate."

As someone who is a city planner and goes to a lot of community meetings, I thought it hit a little close to home ...

"Back to work, Shoe Bitch ..."

They both had their moments. The Jim/Charles thing has to break ...
