1. Willie Nelson - love the man, but I've never been in a "...hey, play some Willie..." mood.

"He was a great artist. I think Songs:Ohia was a cross between a toned down version of the Pixies and Yo La Tengo. He'll be missed.
P.S. Nice 'stache, by the way."

Songwriters in search of inspiration wanted!
One of the things I look for in the music I choose to listen to are "connections". Connections to the songwriters land, connections to the people, connections to family, connections to history. There seems to be an abundance of these connections in the type of music that we all write about and read about on these pages. The Allman Brothers ARE Georgia. Loretta Lynn IS Kentucky. John Denver IS Colorado. Mellencamp IS Indiana and the heartland. And Texas....oh…

R.E.M. Calls It Quits
I happened to tell a younger friend and fellow self-professed musicologist the news that R.E.M. announced their breakup today and he said sarcastically that it's been years since they've been relevant anyway. Well, I thought, maybe he's right. Although their first nine (or so) albums were (in my mind) classic, near classic, and so far beyond relevant that they were groundbreaking, genre defining, and the coolest shit your 1980s ears had ever heard, I probably started to lose interest in them… Continue

"Stopped in your tracks" tracks
How many times have you been stopped in your tracks by a song? I mean, left dumbfounded, unable to speak or move? Have you ever? It's happened to me four times and I remember them all like it was yesterday.
First time. August, 1975. I was upstairs in my room packing my bags for a third attempt at college. For Boston, for Boston, I was thinking, at last I can get out of this town and have some real fun in the city at Boston College. And then BAM, Born To Run came on…

Kristin Hersh releases her new album, "Crooked", as a book.
Being a Boston boy, I've spent a good part of my musical life with Kristin Hersh. Her ground breaking band, Throwing Muses - which she fronted as a teenager with her step-sister Tanya Donelly - was a huge part of the Boston scene back in the 80s (technicaly, they were from Providence, RI). Later, she went on her own, eventually retreating to the California desert with her family and recorded some amazing albums like "Hips and Makers" and 1998's… Continue

Best of 2010 (so far)
Here it is, almost mid-June and no one has put forth a Best of 2010 mid-year list. Well then, I’ll give it a go. Feel free to correct me as needed...
Best Reissue
Chicago Transit Authority - Chicago (JUST KIDDING! It's obviously Rolling Stones - Exile on Main Street. I mean, could this award even be up for debate? Exile isn't my choice as the all-time all-time, but it’s one of the few reissues I bought and didn’t feel at least a little cheated… Continue
