I am very excited to announce that I will be writing the blurb for the #1 Kid’s record of 2007 on Fids and Kamily…can’t yet tell you what that album is but when you see it declared on Saturday morning (11/17) you will get to read why I voted it […]
So much for those rock-n-roll plans…The Decemberist’s have just canceled the remainder of their “Long of it, Short of it” Tour. We were literally on our way out the door to drop the girls off at my folks and head up to NYC for the 1st of a two night […]
