Pretty sure I heard about that guy in a Ken Burns doc.

The music industry has reversed it to make music seem like a thing for 20-year-olds. But 100+ years ago, music was an adult interest and it took more effort to hear music. You had to go to music halls, county fairs, and maybe get-togethers to hear music and the songs were about things adults could relate to.

Nice to be here. Pete Dominick sent me. Indirectly. I reserve the right to vehemently disagree with your musical choices.

Thanks for being here! Lord knows I love a good music debate, but I'm going to try to avoid them here. I feel like competitive geekery (of which I am frequently guilty) can turn well-adjusted people off to music content. So I'm going to try to abide by a simple mantra: "Here's something I like--maybe you'll like it too!"

Has anyone here heard the new album by The Last Dinner Party? They're an all-girl group from the UK that sounds like a mix of Kate Bush, Siouxie & The Banshees, Florence & The Machine, Annie Lennox, Abba and Sparks. I've been keeping their new album on HEAVY rotation for the past month and I just can't stop listening to it. If you're into theatrical girl rock groups with an 80's UK sound, I HIGHLY recommend you check them out!

Thanks for carrying the load! I have way too many go tos, but I’m music obsessed! Time to derail the obsessions! Looking forward to more!

You said it, man. I'm trying my best not to waste time sighing wistfully about how things "used to be". I fall into that trap now and again, but I'd genuinely rather spend that time listening to new music. Thanks for being here!
