" Giving Me Wings" -The FramesThe year 2000, and the old tape player in the corner of my course mates kitchen played out the soundtrack to our student days. On the b side of one of the old TDK C90 tapes that hadn't been chewed up, scrawled in blue biro, I could just make out the words "The Frames". I popped it in, pressed play and fell in love with what I heard.A few weeks later, in the intima...

I can't believe I forgot to post this here a couple of days ago when I published these photos from The Frames concert. Please come read the full article, but I have to say this band was so brilliant. I'd only heard their most recent album, which I like, but they blew me away. I'm now a bona fide fan of this band.The Frames

A recent concert but an old song. I think it was written around the time of Binzer leaving the band. Unless I'm mistaken, this used to be 'about arriving at a wall and just turning around and walking the whole way around the world until you're on the other side'. "Hold your head up high right through the doubt."

Hopefully by now - y'all know I have a nephew (also my Godson) *CHASE* ! You also may know that when he was 5 months in his mommy's belly she & I had a last hurrah before her life (& in some minute way my life) changed forever. It was a change for the better there is NO DOUBT in my mind & I've seen her with him - knowing she is one of the finest mothers I have ever known. BuBoo, the little m...

I am hereby elevating Glen Hansard to 'Mt Rushmore' status on my own personal sliding scale of favorite artists.He joins the likes of my other heroes...Jeff Tweedy, Eddie Vedder, Craig Finn...and a few more favorites.I really don't ask much of my favorite artists.

That NEVER happened in Columbus...i assure you!Anyway...watch these two clips and you will see why I am so at peace with my decisionThe Frames - 'Falling...

I think covering a Will Oldham song is sort of like rollerblading. It may look like a really good idea, but if you mess it up you can look REALLY stupid. Oldham's songs are so incredible that it probably seems like they would just sing themselves, right?
