Theft should be up there with "Sex, Drugs, and Rock n' Roll." We've all heard the Picasso quote "Bad Artists Copy, Good Artists Steal." Rock n' roll would never be what it was if people didn't bite and rework styles that they were influenced by.Jimmy Page was accused of stealing "Whole Lotta Love" from Willie Dixon's "You Need Love/Woman You Need Love"Heck, John Foggerty was sued by his own l...

Records tend to lie around a while before I get to them and give them a proper listen. Last night it was Supergrass' turn and once again, they deliver. Since their very first record (which was a little too manic for me, but still good), these guys have put out one very-good-to-excellent after another, this being no exception. It's only nine tunes long, which is always preferable to a glutted 17...

Will someone please explain to the politically dense the whole purpose of the two party thing? I don't want to know where it came from historically, but what purpose does it serve now? It seems to me that it only divides people. "Oh, that guy has a potentially good idea, but he's in the other party, so I'm voting against it." "Hey, that guy is a potentially good candidate, but I'm going to ...
So, after the Year Long Disaster banner comes down, it reveals the Supergrass backdrop. I turn to Jenn and say, "Oh, I've heard of these guys." What I really mean is, I've heard the band's name before. Can't say I've ever heard one of their songs. But, apparently they've been on the UK scene for a while now. I think they're 5 or 6 albums deep.Listening to this song, made me think of how so...
I wish I could say that my bags are packed…I wish I could say the house is the cleanest it's ever been…I wish I could say that all of our plans are set in stone while on our tripBUT I CAN'T!We are off tomorrow, gone for three weeks, vacationing in Europe (does that sound snooty…I think that sounds terribly snooty). Our itinerary is pretty easy going. We will be in the southwest region of F
