Teddy Thompson – Tonight Will Be Fine

Most of you already know of my immense love of all things Leonard Cohen. This is that rare instance where I enjoy the cover better than the original. Teddy Thompson takes a cheap bullshit throwaway Cohen song and imbues it with pop heartbreak. This is from the concert film about Leonard Cohen, “I’m Your Man”. It’s a must rent. Antony, Rufus and his sister, Martha. A heartbreaking concert.

Nine Inch Nails – Woodstock ‘94

This is the song that NIN opened with when my brother Monty and I saw them.  It’s amazing that you can find concert clips of shows you’ve actually been to on Youtube.  God bless the internet.

Yeah Yeah Yeahs – Maps

A $6 bottle of Shiraz from Cub Foods and I’m a lovestruck kid again. This be my soundtrack.

Ellen is Nuts

Cubs lose.

CUBS WIN!!!

The Cubs won the division.  Believe it.

Ukulele weeps by Jake Shimabukuro

I’m getting a ukulele.  Think I won’t?

Trachsel’s Back

Steve Trachsel is back to dominate in the Cubs’ new “modified” 6 man rotation.

Liz Phair – Demos

After years of attempted conversion to the church of Liz Phair by countless male and female Phair-ites, I have finally discovered the music that has made me a fan. The Girlysound demos. These are not new, I know, but I heard them for the first time 08/27/07. You can download them by clicking here or by clicking her picture.
