I just came back from the Sampson Fund plant sale which benefits animals. Naturally I spend a bit of money mostly on tomato plants and herbs though I did buy a round clay pot filled with succulents and decorated around the plants with seashells. That was the one piece which set me back a bit. Later I'll plant the tomatoes and herbs-maybe even tomorrow as carrying the plants to the car killed my back. I am now a question mark but the question remains elusive. My car is green, well not really but it is covered in pine [...]
Pictorially revisiting Christopher Walken & Jimmy Fallon on Saturday Night Live.

In the days of yore, my family had a small but adequate garden in our backyard. We only grew summer vegetables, so I, of course, assumed that August was the only time that one could harvest vegetables in New York State. And so I impatiently (ignorantly) awaited our homegrown bounty of each August: peppers, cucumbers, and the most glorious, ugly tomatoes. To this day, end-of-summer vegetables are my favorite, and especially those tomatoes. You know, the kind that really taste like tomatoes ? You're only fooling yourself with those pinkish things you [...]

Welcome to basementcast number 17. It seems like these things are becoming seasonal, not that this one has any kind of theme, just that the last one was at the commencement of summer and this one just happens to land as autumn is beginning. What does the Red Balloon have to do with it, you may ask. Nothing really, except for the giant red tomatoes finally ripening in my backyard. They're kind of pesky like that troublesome red balloon. You plant them with the highest expectations of big red round juicy fruits ripening on the vine and sometimes you reap [...]
The great Fountains Of Wayne just issued their fifth album in a career that dates back 15 years. Sky Full Of Holes (Yep Roc) was recorded by the band—vocalist/guitarist Chris Collingwood, multi-instrumentalist Adam Schlesinger, guitarist Jody Porter and drummer Brian Young—in New York City at the studio Schlesinger co-owns, and it may be the quartet's [...]
Filed under: News , Video , Holy Hell Redferns | AP Few things are funnier than someone getting hit in the head with produce. When the victim is the leader of a Celtic punk band and the pelter is a professional baseball player, well, that just makes this even sweeter. Dropkick Murphys frontman Ken Casey came up on the wrong end of a Jonathan Papelbon fastball, but luckily for the singer/bassist, it [...]

First of all, thank you, THANK YOU to all of you out there who commented, tweeted, linked to, and reached out to us about the Pairings Box . We are SO, SO excited to share this with you, and we can't thank you enough for your support. Even though we went camping this weekend, and didn't have much time to work on posts, I wanted to make sure I could share something special with you to kick off this second to last week of July. So here it is, a beauty from a book I have been obsessing over [...]
A few questionable signings aside, there's no denying that Sumerian Records is one of the few modern metal record labels with real, actual A&R and artist development, and one of the only labels that routinely takes chances on far left-of-center acts that wouldn't stand a chance elsewhere. It's actually pretty remarkable that wonky instrumental metal [...]

On the cover of her brand new album 101, Keren Ann tries to sell us a tough babe royale with cheese, Honey Bunny style, but actually, the box contains just dead beats and a sad tomato. Nine years ago, the forlorn princess of her nouvelle chanson debut La Disparition told an exceptionally seductive story of longing and melancholia – high in the ranks of FS's best-of-the-decade albums, and rightly so –, and maybe it was nowhere to go but down from there. While 07's Lay Your Head Down already was a huge disappointment, 101, [...]
Knoxville's Senryu have what many bands wish they did, an eclectic sound that keeps their now legendary cult following coming back for more; filling venues with an audience who doesn't just sing back their lyrics, they scream them. The band recently released a remix ep of their single 'Inklings' by DJ Tom Ato called All [...]
Moby is one of those guys, like Weezer's Rivers Cuomo, who has never made it a secret that he has a proclivity for metal. But up 'til now, he's never really gotten involved in the game; I mean, he almost produced Chinese Democracy, but that doesn't really count for any number of reasons, not least [...]

Skinny Friedman , one half of local dj duo Philadelphyinze , gives a subtle tweak to this XX track. Its smooth with just a skotch more bump to amp the sex appeal. [...]
