Whether you experience Christmas as a spiritual curative or a wretched crucible likely depends upon your capacity to enjoy the Yuletide season's truly disassociate spirit of insanity. Most of us may consider ourselves largely inured at this point to the curiously redundant recurring color schemes, the unnaturally oppressive nighttime lighting and deeply strange rituals, the whole notion of dwarves and deer running amuck with bounty and coal. On a conscious level, most of us just take that the whole thing in stride. Well, you might say, that's just Christmas! Read More...

Happy Hanukkah/Chanukkah/Etc.! Hanukkah ended yesterday, I see on the calendar, and since I didn't get a Hanukkah song in during the holiday, as I had suggested I might earlier this month, the day after is as good a day as any. I'm no more Jewish than I am Christian, or any other particular religion, so I only know pop Hanukkah songs that I've heard by chance - which, essentially, is one: the lame Adam Sandler song. And since I find Sandler about as funny as Jerry Lewis - which is to say, not [...]

This sort of whimsical pop rock is often rejected by the cool hunters and tastemakers, as nobody wants to back an average horse. Just look at how They Might Be Giants racked up commercial success before the more edgy genre of grunge blew them back into a quieter existence. Bands such as Fountains Of Wayne or Roachford once had big hits, but they were eventually run over; an occupational hazard if you stand yourself in the middle of the road. Mike & The Mechanics and Hothouse Flowers gained support from [...]
