One day Rufus Wainwright will knock you out

Every time I hear about a new Rufus Wainwright release, I get excited. All Days Are Nights: Songs For Lulu will be released on April 20th and last week I received an advance copy. I uploaded it, listened to it and then deleted it. Like most of his albums, it just didn't appeal to me. But I'm a fan...a huge fan to be sure...and one day I know he's going to give me an album I'll love.

Band names you love...and the ones you hate

I was listening to a song this morning and started to think about the lyrics. If you recall, a few months ago I admitted to rarely ever listening to them, so it was an achievement of sorts that I paid attention. The song was "Bakersfield Bound" written by Chris Hillman and Steve Hill and it started off like this:

there was a day of song...closely followed by this night of darkness

Watch out now, take care

Beware the thoughts that linger

Winding up inside your head

The hopelessness around you

In the dead of night

Beware of sadness

George Harrison "Beware of Darkness"



The pretty high school senior went for a run around the lake the other night and didn't come home. All around town the next morning flyers were posted in windows asking for help. The television trucks with the satellite dishes came, and the search parties… Continue
