The Golden Hour
PopMatters just published my review of the new Firewater CD. This record I liked. I haven't played it since I reviewed it but I'm pretty sure that the next time it gets slotted into the iMac I'll enjoy it. It is a fine record and well worth the purchase. As usual an excerpt of the review is below and a link to the full article.

Another fun little Short Take that I submitted to PopMatters. An excerpt below and the direct link after that.

Lissa Schneckenburger’s Song is a cheerful array of old school folk tunes with the emphasis on the fiddle and quality vocal performance—a mixture of self-composed work and traditional songs from the New England area of the United States.

Beautiful Escape... Is Comping Right Along
One of my Short Take reviews was published on PopMatters.com today. It is short and "sweet". An excerpt is below and the link to the full review is beneath that. These short reviews are fun to do.

A group of German politicians want to stop the over-65s from getting too powerful. Reduce the voting age to zero, they say. This would give young families more influence, and combat the kind of conservatism Chancellor Angela Merkel is guilty of.

Not a promo for the upcoming Ed Norton movie but one of the funniest comic covers I have seen in forever and worth sharing. Not sure if it is real but who cares...
