I heard the news that John McCain has gone ahead and filed the initial paperwork to run for yet another term in the US Senate in 2010. By the way, should he be re-elected and serve out his term, that would be thirty years in the Senate, edging out Henry Fountain Ashurst’s 29 years, but [...]

Miranda Lee Richards - Light of X (Nettwerk, 2009) purchase this album (Amazon) She took guitar lessons from Kirk Hammett and R. Crumb was her godfather, but don’t expect shredding or off-color humor from Miranda Lee Richards; her second full-length effort, Light of X, is as heavy on the gauzy L.A. vibe as you’d expect for an [...]

“When the Count saw my face, his eyes blazed with a sort of demonaic fury, and he suddenly made a grab at my throat. I drew away, and his hand touched the string of beads which held the crucifix. It made an instant change in him, for the fury passed so quickly that I could [...]

I’m not talking about the Genius Bar at retail Apple stores (although I love that, too)… I’m referring to the new features in iTunes 8.

By Mark LaFlamme If you get past her faults, she's quite alluring. How do I get room service? Look, don't give me a lot of guff about my iPod, Bubbalou. It's the only technological toy I've got. I have a cell phone, circa 1985, with rotary dial.

I’ll go with what I know. Eighties rock with a smattering of blues mixed in to liven it up. First out of the gate: Johnette Napolitano and Concrete Blonde. They also did a great version of Leonard Cohen’s “Everybody Knows” on the Sountrack for “Pump Up the Volume”, but I’ve got a rule about mixing [...]

Going to make these a little shorter. Today’s single cover is Concrete Blonde’s take on Andy Prieboy’s Tomorrow, Wendy. I wore the album (1990’s Bloodletting) out on tape and CD. (You know, I’m not sure if this is exactly a cover. Andy Prieboy’s original featured vocals from Concrete Blonde’s Johnette Napolitano, who later decided to record [...]

Photo by ali edwards Last week I posted on the 15 bestselling hardcover titles from 2007. This week I thought it might be interesting to see what some of those authors recommended Real Simple readers read. I included Nelson DeMille, Sophie Kinsella, and Elizabeth Gilbert since they will most likely be on the bestselling list of 2008! Nelson [...]
