My mom and brother have made long, long trips from their locations to visit me for the holidays. We've never been big on Christmas, but it's good to have all three of us together (for the first time since summer 2005) and have them check out how I live. Anyway, my mom couldn't exactly be called someone who is knowledgeable about or has a particularly discerning taste in music. So it's been a pleasant surprise to hear her ask "Who is this? I like it!" when Amy Winehouse, El Perro Del Mar, and the Bawlers disc of Tom Waits's Orphans have been on in the car or on my stereo. Way to go, mom! I plan to try Richard Hawley, too, but I think I'll wait until some other time to try out stuff like The Real Losers on her.
