dermahrk's post on Del Amitri’s "Not Where It’s At":http://mog.com/dermahrk/blog_post/99231 most definitely reminded me of Mike Viola & the Candy Butcher's eponymous album (as far as I know it was never released) recorded for blue thumb in say...1995.

Thanks to "Adam Curry's Daily Source Code podcast":http://www.dailysourcecode.com/, I discovered the music of Mike Viola and the Candy Butchers. If you like great pop music, you really ought to give "Hang on Mike" a try. One song in particular gets played at least once a week on my iPod--"What to Do With Michael." It's an autobiographical song about Viola's real-life romance with a woman he...

I still listen to this album once a month or so. . . a t...

I am not afraid to tell you that "American Idol" Blake just performed my favorite Maroon 5 song. I have a favorite Maroon 5 song? Yes, and it is "She Will Be Loved." Why? Because that "I don't mind spending every day" part is a little piece of heaven. There are little pieces of heaven in so many songs and I love loving them.
