Heavy Rotation

  • The Clientele -

    The Clientele: God Save the Clientele
    I love this record with its rich pop melodies and guitar feedback. Might be a little mellow for the kids today, but give it a listen on Sunday morning while having your coffee and reading the paper.

  • The National -

    The National: Boxer
    These indie darlings are well worth a listen to.

  • Ted Leo and the Pharmacists -

    Ted Leo and the Pharmacists: Living With the Living
    Hmmm...only way to describe it is Black Flag meets UB40.

  • Ryan Adams -

    Ryan Adams: Easy Tiger
    The alt-country king returns with something fantastic. This is one of my favorite records of 2007.

  • Bob Dylan -

    Bob Dylan: Blood On the Tracks
    I was cleaning out my CDs and forgot that I had this. I could listen to "Tangled Up in Blue" all day. I think this might be my favorite Dylan album.

  • Tegan and Sara -

    Tegan and Sara: The Con
    Go get this record. Do not delay. Sleater Kinney I'm over you.

  • Josh Rouse -

    Josh Rouse: Subtitulo
    Humor me. Just go get it. Give a listen to "Given' It Up" and you will thank me.

  • The Sea and Cake -

    The Sea and Cake: Everybody
    These guys are awesome. I can't decide who is dreamier Sam Prekop or Archer Prewitt. If you are looking for something to listen to this summer, this is it.

  • Stephen Malkmus -

    Stephen Malkmus: Pig Lib
    How can you not love the smart ass lead singer from Pavement? "Vanessa From Queens" is my favorite tune on this whole album. This album is filled with hypnotic melodies and sarcastic lyrics. Fans of Pavement will not be disappointed.

  • Dinosaur Jr. -

    Dinosaur Jr.: Beyond
    J Mascis is back. If you are a fan of Green Mind you will love this record.

  • Marvin Gaye -

    Marvin Gaye: What's Going on
    I love this record from start to finish. With lyrics about drug abuse, poverty, and the Vietnam War, this album was an immediate sensation and has endured as a classic of early-1970s soul. Get the remastered version released in 2002.

  • Urge Overkill - Urge Overkill

    Urge Overkill
    Urge Overkill: Saturation
    An awesome Chicago Band from the early 90's. I used to go see these guys all of the time at Metro, Empty Bottle, and Double Door. These guys played all over the city for a year straight. Check out "Sister Havana" and "Back on Me".

  • The Shins -

    The Shins: Wincing the Night Away
    GO GET THIS NOW...The Shins will change your life!

  • Josh Rouse -

    Josh Rouse: Nashville
    Just simple dreamy lyrics- I love sensitive boy rock!!!! I put his songs on mix tapes for girls I am trying to woo.

  • Cat Power -

    Cat Power: The Greatest
    Some people think Chan Marshall is a mess- I find her dreamy. Go get this record listen to it, then listen to Dusty Springfield, and then finish the evening off with a good belt of whiskey. Call me in the morning and we'll talk.

  • The Hold Steady -

    The Hold Steady: Boys & Girls of America
    Paste rated this album #2 in their best of 2006. I gave them a listen off of that review and let me tell you they rock. What I dig most about them is the fact they sound like a drunken Springsteen. This album is loaded with a ton of heavy guitar riffs and lyrics you can't understand. RUN DON'T WALK to your nearest record store and pick this bad oscar up.

Sergio, your excuses are your own....

Sergio2I used to think that Colin Montgomerie was the biggest cry baby in golf.  Monty was recently replaced by Sergio Garcia's bitching about the British Open.  Sergio led the British Open for 72 holes.  For those of you who know nothing about golf-he essentially led all 4 days.  The Open was his for the taking, but a missed put opened the door for Padraig Harrington to beat him in a playoff. 
I've been known to implode on the 18th hole many times.  Just ask the EARL about the implosion I had in February-it was unfucking real. It took me 3 shots to get out of the tee-box.  But, that is a story for another time.  Sergio seems to be making excuses for his inability to seal the deal at  Carnoustie.  In his mind many things contributed to his demise.  Keep in mind that in EL NINO's eyes none of it was his fault. The slow raking of a bunker on the 18th green threw off his MOJO. He lamented the putt on the final green that did not fall. He suggested a higher power was at work for all of his bad breaks.  Are you telling me that GOD didn't want Sergio Garcia to win the British Open?  Give me a fucking break.  GOD has nothing to do with whether or not you win a sporting event.  When I hear things like this I just want to scream my favorite line from Glengary Glen Ross at the TV-"Your excuses are your own!  Live with it!"  Seriously this shit makes me crazy.  Just admit that you didn't have the stones to seal the deal.  Admit to your own shortcomings don't play the blame game.  Sack up Sergio and take it like a man.  You choked at the British Open. 
This weekend is the PGA Championship at Southern Hills in Tulsa.  Should be interesting to see if part deux of the blame game gets played.  Don't get me wrong I think Sergio is a great golfer and will win a major before his career is over.  But, in the meantime I think he could learn a little bit from my man Phil Mickelson.  Mickelson was on tour for 10 years before he won a major and not once did he ever make an excuses for not winning.  Phil simply talked of his own shortcomings and moved on. 
*I told LIBBY that I thought the reason why Sergio couldn't win was because of his poor taste in fashion.  LIBBY says keep the colors, but get rid of the tapered legs.  He could be on to something.
