“B” Thankful for What You Got

November 26, 2008 – 10:30 am
So, what do you do when it’s the day before Thanksgiving and you have no family to speak of and a distinct lack of grocery money in the bank? Well, if you’re me (which I am, so I can say this with total authority) you try to relax, you tell yourself not to worry […]

So Many Records / So Little Time

October 2, 2008 – 10:30 am
In my write-up on Chairlift’s new album from Tuesday’s “shuffle” post I shared a glimpse of the lack of awareness of my own music collection that I sometimes face.
