^^^ Agree on "You, Me & The Apocalypse." I used to kind of hate Rob Lowe. But his role on Parks & Recreation completely changed my opinion of him. And now with The Grinder and Y,M & the A, he's one of my favorites. Stick to comedy, Rob. You're pretty great at it.

Thanks, LouieB. Just ordered "New York Before the War" used from Reckless.

That was great.

Thanks, guys. Anyone else want to chime in on Jesse Malin album recommendations?

At the Alejandro Escovedo show on Saturday the couple next to me were raving about Jesse Malin. I've heard of him but am unfamiliar with his work. Turns out he's playing in Nashville the same weekend I'll be there -- tickets were only $15.00 so I grabbed a couple (not much of a risk at that price). If there are any Jesse Malin fans out there, I'd appreciate recommendations on albums of his I should check out. Thanks.

^^^ Agree. Sound + Vision is one of my favorite Bowie songs. There's something about the way Bowie sings the word "vision" that makes me smile every time. It has a harmonic quality to it -- like a vibrating pipe.

I saw the article this morning. I think it was meant as a compliment to Dexter Fowler -- not as flashy: but reliable and steady at a fraction of the price as Cespedes/Springsteen. I never figured Paul Sullivan to be a Wilco fan -- I pictured him more as a Mumford or Billy Joel kind of guy! This will make it harder for me to hate him and his Cub-centric world view..

Saw The Chamber Strings open for Wilco and immediately went out and bought their CD. RIP.
