Over the next few weeks, I’m going to post thoughts on Over the Rhine’s The Long Surrender... my favorite album of 2010… and 2011 (so far). The band's website calls The Long Surrender a 2011 release, but since almost all of their fans had the album in hand long before we hung up new 2011 calendars, I think of it as a 2010 record. Produced with exquisite textures and depth by Joe Henry, it’s my favorite album of the band's 20-year career. Why haven't I reviewed it yet? Simply because I … [Read more...]

I'm going to try and recharge my blogging routine by bringing back "The Browser" with a different name - "Fingertips." TMBG outdid themselves on their album Apollo 18 by including a blast of fleeting songs called "Fingertips"... five-to-ten-second hooks that you can't get out of your head. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2NrrHTFp8z0 Similarly, my blog's Fingertips will be a list of miscellaneous links and interesting trivia that I found worthy of sharing. For example: What may be … [Read more...]
