In lieu of an actual entry, here are some things we've been digging lately:
The great Joe Henry has a new album out. Called "Civilians," it's another slice of this man's brilliance. Do yourself a favor. Go here and download "Our Song," Henry's dramatic fantasia that begins with an imagined encounter with the great Willie Mays in a Home Depot and climaxes with a lament that "this was my country." It's beautiful, and it's a free download. Do it.
We have a great affection for terrible, out of place jerseys (our collection includes a David Wells "Boomer 33" Yankees t-shirt, as well as a Danny Kannell Giants jersey). That's why we aspire to be on Straight Cash, Homey. Check it out. It's awesomeness.
Our friend Bob over at the blooming Silhouettes Of Birds And Trees has taken the time to rank his 65 favorite albums of this year. While we've been curmudgeonly about year-end lists, this is pretty well thought out. It's missing some Stars and Joe Henry, nevermind Loudon Wainwright's wonderful, beautifully crafted soundtrack for "Knocked Up," but well-played.
We're not buying any more holiday cards this year, but if we were, it'd be these whimsical, hand-made cards from friend-of-a-friend Jodi Skeris.
That's all for now!
