Graffiti Gradin'

January 4, 2009 / Leave a Comment

Found this on Flickr: I must say, even for some scrawl on the wall, I wonder if this is truly worthy of being captured.

I was flipping through the CD collection at the BPL in Copley Square today when a curious kid no older than ten caught up to my perusing area in the Popular Music Section. “Have you seen a My Chemical Romance CD?” The boy asked. “No, but if I do I’ll let you know,” I replied … [Read more…]

The NFL regular season wound down yesterday, which left me pretty excited seeing as the Baltimore Ravens have made the playoffs and have a pretty good chance of taking their season beyond their Wild Card spot.

Continuum’s 33 1/3 series is by far the best collection of books on rock records… In fact, it’s pretty much the only one that continually publishes works on a strong range of albums. They’ve gotten a strong showing on numerous “best of” listings for 2008 for a number of books on records such as Black … [Read more…]
