Ooh, yeah, I did like that one. Good call.

Crap, yeah, I forgot that one. And Utopia Parkway might even have it beat, pound-for-pound.

I hate to be unoriginal, but: NMH, In the Aeroplane over the Sea . Not just one of the best albums of the last 15 years, but one of the best albums of all time. Pure songwriting that is harrowingly emotional, poetic yet DIRECT, crazy, unique sounds that never seem gimmicky or trendy, not drowned in ...

By the way "Magic Man," by Heart? That is one fucking amazing song.

Those are all awesome. Don't forget Beach Baby -- The First Class Wildfire -- Michael Martin Murphey Laughter in the Rain -- Neil Sedaka Fox on the Run -- Sweet Billy, Don't Be a Hero -- Paper Lace The Things We Do fro Love -- 10cc Undercover Angel -- Alan O'Day* Couldn't Get it Right -- Climax Blue...

Aye, Murph, she did! That was the one I wanted, too! My pictures all came out crappy...tried all kinds of settings but just had a point-and-shoot. 21 years with pretty damn good ears in their leaders and I have to say, a good sense of humor about stuff that didn't work so well for them (forays into ...

Just for the record, I am definitely getting old. Apologies for a long belated post--thanks for the venue. One of the highlights of my year was getting the freak chance to go to Las Vegas in October for Matador Records' 21st birthday party. The bands and guests all stayed in the same hotel, so it wa...

I love the Pinkerton so I'm going to try for that night in Chi.
