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 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? But that wonderfully off beat voice of his does an amazing job of bringing his dark, beautiful lyrics to life and if you don't get the song ri...

"We have all the time in the world, to get it right..." The Frames... what to say. In a long, slow, dramatic history between myself and this band, our relationship has blossomed into something that is well beyond the standard.

The best day begins with vegetables, beets and carrots on card tables and tailgates, just south of Dublin. Off the train I find a small market, food stalls and craft stands lining the harbor parking lots. Drawn in by the colors I start out snapping photos of vegetables and right away a man in a nametag flags me down. I nearly bolt, so sure am I that he's coming to tell me to get the hell away f...
