'John Wesley Harding' is a rustic, dark album all shimmering with apocalyptic doom and such.  And outside of "All Along the Watchtower," most of the songs aren't really in the popular consciousness, so you'll (theoretically) be coming to it fresh.  If you like Neil Young's darker songs, then you'd probably dig 'John…

OCMS was a band that I loved in the twilight years of my undergrad, back around 2006-2007ish.  Their first two albums are really really good.  I didn't give 'Tennessee Pusher' much of a try, though (not that I disliked it, just didn't get into it).  No matter how many times I hear "Wagon Wheel" on an Iowa jukebox,…

Title track is about the Titanic and actually references the James Cameron movie, or so Rolling Stone tells me.  And "Roll on John" is about John Lennon.  And they're…

I was horribly confused.  Couldn't tell if this was some imagined scene that you hoped existed, if you'd actually watched the movie, or if the entire mention of 'Transformers 3' was meant to be read ironically.  Eventually I just quit trying and went to go make a sandwich…

They are separate and distinct compulsions.  Sometimes I click on Newswire items I don't care about and refrain from commenting.  Other times, I inexplicably add a non-constructive comment, such as on this Newswire item about a Q & A involving the cast of a TV show that was canceled years ago and that one guy who…
