I won't tell you the beginning because I am not certain when it was. I don't know if it was during the purchase of a bouncy ball from a coin-operated machine or a car ride toward beer. I don't know if it was summer or winter. So I will start with the fact that I was wearing pink tights. This is important because I took them off in a room on the 59th floor of a famous hotel. If this ruined the suspense, let me make it clear that this is not a mystery. Or a romance. It's a story [...]
American folk music retains a rich yet mysterious history. So many songs get passed down from generation to generation that plenty of them become lyrical John Does. It's slightly creepy then - especially in our wealthy age of endless information online - that certain things go untitled, unfound, and unclaimed. One such track is "In the Pines", also known as "Black Girl" or "Where Did You Sleep Last Night?". Said to be Southern Appalachian in origin, and dating back to the 18702s, "In the Pine" remains to this day a chilling, minimalistic crooner. Its simplicity adds to this [...]
This year - 2011, if you forgot - marks the 20 th anniversary of the release of Nirvana 's Nevermind . As with all such moments, reissues, tributes, and all kinds of analysis and discussion will spring from the well. I don't recall this much fuss when The White Album turned 20. I am not here to fellate Kurt Cobain, Nirvana, or their legacy, nor am I here to kick them in the balls. Let me say for the record that I do like Nirvana. I was just never one of those kids [...]
The Central Unit in Sugar Land is now closed. Here's a new one: in Texas, we're shutting down a prison. Not because there aren't enough inmates - no, they have shut down one of the state's oldest prisons because they want to turn the property into a shopping center. Texas is looking for ways to save money and shutting the Central Unit in Sugar Land will save about $12 million a year. Texas bought the prison property in 1908 from Imperial Sugar, the company for which Sugar Land was named. The current prison, built [...]
După ceva pauză de rubrică, uitaţi că eu n-am uitat să uit că există. Aşadar... alte două cântece, de data asta nu e coveruri, ci e melodii originale de-adevăratelea, adică de cine le-o cântat prima dată, sau a doua oară cel şi cel mai bine. Dar tot are legătură cu coveruri pentru că ele este celebre din cauza lor. Oke, sper că v-aţi prins care-i treaba... Acum să purcedem! 1.

Seventeen years since Gen X'ers in gestation and Airwalk-rocking pre-teens mourned the loss of Kurt C. - the de facto choice for last American rock star and chief inspiration for Collective Soul. Nirvana occupy a bizarre space in the collective American psyche. They're still idolized by those who have never heard "Where is My Mind," and music snobs tend to treat them with an elitist disdain usually reserved for Jim Morrison. And like the Mr. Mojo Magazine cover boy, I'd argue that any argument against their excellence can be deaded by the way they sing the blues. Disclaimer: [...]
Last time in Murder Songs we visited the scenes of three real-life crimes, and today we return to two real crime scenes and to one epochal trial. * * * Nina Simone - Mississippi Goddam (1964).mp3 This is Nina Simone at her best: an intensely angry protest song in the style not of a mournful blues, as one might expect from the angry title, but delivered as a cabaret tune ("The show hasn't been written for it [...]
I can't believe it's December already! Where has the year gone? After this list the next big one I have to do is my year in review for 2k10 but first here's a bunch of Christmas / Holiday songs for ya'll to add to your X-mas playlist compilation. Some punk, alternative and some indie ones. Geesh, something for every body then I swear once this is done that's it for me until next year. A few more presents to buy maybe I swear too! Need to figure out a way to slow the holiday down so we can enjoy it. [...]

tell me a story
Some of the best stories are told through music. It's been a while since I posted so I'd like to tell a little story of my own through songs. Bear with me because this is going to be a loose interpretation. I've been in a funk for the last month or so. Not the good, James Brown kind of funk; the kind of funk where you don't want to get off the couch. There are lots of reasons but I won't bore you with the details. Let's just say it's time to make some changes, whether [...]
