Pussy Riot
it turns out

was Kent Johnson
all along—



he has Russian
friends you know—

it’s just three of
his twenty-

seven selves now
behind bars.

Les Paul, June 9, 1915 – August 13, 2009

Ode to Les Paul (found poem courtesy of Licorice Pizza)

The first guitar I bought
that I never learned to play
was a Les Paul knockoff.

The Duke Spirit - Lassoo

Ryan Adams - Magick

The local college radio station, XCI, played much of the new Ryan Adams album, Cardinology, on my drive home from work tonight. I was a little disappointed in what I heard. There are some really great arrangements (I think it was “Born Into a Light” that made me notice this as I navigated the curves of Candlewood Lake Road), and Adams's talent was evident on every track I heard (I think I caught five or six of them), but for the most part they just failed to move me. The exception was the punchy tune “Magick,” which Rolling Stone, in their glowing review, calls “pure mindless garage-rock pleasure.” I guess that must be my alley.
