What’s with all the handsome grandsons in these rock band magazines?
The Silver Jews show is tonight and I haven’t been this excited about a show since Tom Waits. I sure hope it’s good. I have a feeling David Berman will just be a shell of a man after the crack smokin’ suicide period, but the new album Lookout Mountain, Lookout Sea has managed to stay [...]

Cohen Live
Cohen to do world tour Leonard Cohen is coming to the UK. This may be my last and only chance to see him live – he doesn’t tour very often, and the guy is 73. I have no-one to go with. I am the only one in my circle of friends and family who appreciates [...]

Damien Jurado is Skinny
As part of my ongoing series on musicians gaining or losing weight, I would just like to point out that Damien Jarado has lost a ton of weight. He’s like the reverse Greg Dulli.
