Trent Reznor Gets it Right… OR… Josh Hathaway Buys His First NIN Record

Tom, I’m blaming you for this!
I bought my first Nine Inch Nails record yesterday. I’ve never been a fan, mostly because Trent Reznor’s voice was a bit much for me and I really couldn’t connect with most of the lyrics. I was thought the music sounded cool but I couldn’t get past the […]

Norah Jones VS Sarah McLachlan in a Heavenly Steel Cage Death Match

The three most perfect female voices in the history of mankind are:

Etta James
tie: Norah Jones and Sarah McLachlan

I’m calling for a singoff for second between Norah and Sarah Mc. They could alternate; Norah sings one, Sarah follows. Even if I could come to a concrete decision on who should get the silver […]

COAF Top 10 Albums of 2007: Peter Karp, Bruce Springsteen, Norah Jones, Nick Moss, Radiohead

I’m once again pleased to report there were a lot of outstanding records released this past year. You wouldn’t know that if you read certain magazines, blogs or web sites. You certainly wouldn’t know it if you listened to most radio stations. Fortunately for you, you’re smarter than that and you’re not […]

Norah Jones’ Sonic Perfection

It’s been a stressful two weeks in FanboyLand, and this morning was no exception. I’ll not bore you with my trials and travails, but I will tell you I found the sonic salve for it: Norah Jones’ Not Too Late.

As I mentioned earlier today, I’ve been revisiting some of my favorite songs and […]

The 50th Annual Grammy Awards: They Didn’t Get it All Wrong (But They Blew Album of The Year)

I’ve now had a chance to glance over the Grammy nominations a couple times. *Sigh* Why do I do this to myself? I guess because no one else will let me do it to them.
I know, I know… The Grammys haven’t been relative in – what’s this, the 50th annual? – fifty […]

B-Sides Concept Album: The Pies of Depravity

The cherry has been busted; the first ever edition of The B-Sides Concept Album program has aired and, if I may be bold, it was an unqualified success.
The main topic for the evening was Bruce Springsteen. We rehashed Magic, discussed the current tour, and reflected on a few of our favorites. Guests Mark […]

Let’s Talk About My iPod: May 29, 2007

My iPod is bursting with new music and I’ve done none of it justice. I’ve listened now to everything I recently bought/received at least once, but have not had the chance to properly immerse myself in the joy of this bounty. I’m anticipating having some time around the desk tomorrow and I’ll certainly […]

2007 Style

The joy of the new Wilco album and the anticipation of so many great albums still to be released this year conspired to motivate me to listen to the first fabulous album of 2007, Norah Jones’ Not Too Late.
The album was released in February and I purposely didn’t call it “Album of the Year” because […]
