We’re a little more than a week into 2008 and I’m still trying to wrap up 2007; one more encouraging reminder that the music scene is alive and well, regardless of what the hipsters are telling you.
I’ve listed my Top 10 Albums of the Year and talked about a few notable re-issues. Today, we’re [...]

Sorry for the no updates around here yesterday. I spent a lot of time working on my nearly-complete review of Babyshambles’ Shotter’s Nation.
When I started working on it, everything was hunky dory for our boy Pete. He was clean and clear of legal troubles. In the time it’s taken me to write [...]

Wow, did I suck at softball tonight. You know that old bullshit about practice making perfect? Not so much. You can actually play softball for a period of months and continue sucking in equal proportions.
I’ll tell you this, though. If I was a professional athlete, I’d insist Libertines and [...]

It’s not news when dog bites man, it’s news when man bites dog.
Pete Doherty has tested clean for illegal drugs, according to NME. I’m nearly rendered speechless. Wow.
I wish I had a firm running count on how many arrests it took us to get here so I could see if I won the [...]

Pete Doherty has been arrested for drugs again.
You know, I wish harm on very few but I’m getting tired of this of this charade. The British authorities either need to give him hard time or stop arresting him. He needs to get serious about his recovery and if he can’t, he [...]

Saturday afternoon, singing the blues.
This little playlist began with a couple Karp songs and a song from The Twisters. I remember thinking about their being some similar sonic threads between the two artists when I was working on the Karp review but wasn’t able to find a way to work that in [...]

On this day in 1990, Jim Henson passed away at age 53 of bacterial pneumonia.
I don’t know if we can trace the beginning of the decline of civilization to that day, but childhood has never been the same. How many generations of us grew up on The Muppet Show, Sesame Street, and Muppet Babies? [...]

If nothing else, I put my iPod to work today. That was probably the only reason to get out of bed, when you come right down to it. I woke up to listen to music.
Missing from the list you’re about to witness are the songs from A Bigger Bang that I [...]

What a day! The Red Sox come back and beat the Yankees in the 9th inning, and I got an advance copy of the new Arctic Monkeys album, Favourite Worst Nightmare. We’ll be talking more about that in the coming days.
Spent some time listening to Babyshambles this morning and on in to the [...]

It’s easy to forget that Pete Doherty is an artist/musician with the long-running series of headlines for everything except music.
Check Out The Blinding EP:
I have found a special love for The Blinding EP since buying it last year. I have Down in Albion and there are moments of brilliance there, but the [...]
