Thing of the Week
| Champale [song] '68 Comeback - 4.6 Mb I've only heard two songs off of this band's debut, Simple Days (both of which are available on their label's Website as mp3s), but from what I've heard, it's gonna be a great album. Breezy, jazzy, sweetfully lazy pop to fill your summer days with goodness... in fact, I'm gonna go out and buy it tonight.

Fast Food Nation
By Eric Schlosser I'm just waiting for a reviewer to say, "Fast Food Nation does to greasy hamburgers what No Logo did for globalization" - as lame as that sounds, it's an accurate description of this excellent book. Author Eric Schlosser rips apart the black box that is the American fast food and meat industry, and it's at times lucid, enlightening, and digusting... sometimes all at once. (Thank goodness I don't eat red meat.) A great, compelling read that will change the way you look at "1 billion served" forever. |

Pernice Brothers
The World won't End Joe Pernice makes the most beautiful statements out of sadness, and this followup to the Bros. uneven but fine debut Overcome by Happiness is proof of that. It's a more lush, fuller-sounding, and sonically ambitious effort than the debut, evoking comparisons to Pet Sounds, Nick Drake, and Jimmy Webb. Pernice's explorations into poetic pop closes the book on his previous country-tinged work with the Scud Mountain Boys. A soaring, blissful soundtrack for a lazy Sunday morning. |

Wise Words And Pictures
The songs currently tattooed on our brains (a.k.a. songs my son can sing and/or ask for by name)Dans "daddy lore", lundi, le 22 fevrier , à 08:37 AM CST.
Posted here mostly for historical purposes, but dammit, it’s pretty impressive that he’s somehow managed to memorize lyrics to most of these songs. Some of these are rather unfortunate (<cough>BUBLÉ!!!1!<cough>), but there’s still a few years left to influence his musical tastes, right? Right?
