I just had the weirdest thing happen to me. I don’t know of you noticed, but sometimes great rock albums are like onions — there’s so much there to peel off than you might discard some of it for some period, then to go back to it when your initial favorite might have lost some […]
This is just a little mix I put together in acknowledgement of one of my favorite bands, Pearl Jam, whose lead singer Eddie Vedder is the only one of the main four grunge frontmen not dearly departed, and who are currently rascal-ling around the nation with posters depicting Donald Trump being eaten by vultures.

The last Ted Leo album wasn’t even good enough to be classified as legitimate “slop” and in our political system, after all those innocent Iraqis were […]
