If the road to hell is paved with good intentions, then surely the path to the bathroom at the “primitive” rest stop is paved with Essential Lists. Just for fun(?), I’d see which 120 Essential pop records I own.
Spoiler Alert!! Not to be found in this list: Guns N Roses, AC/DC, Michael Jackson, Replacements, [...]

In 2007 I saw one band play live on three separate occasions. I am quite positive I’ve never done that before with any other band, and I find it rather unlikely that I’ll ever do the same.
Now you can be the judge of just how silly I was (in HI-DEF no less!).

The luxury of living in a deeply blue state whose primaries are held on Super Tuesday is that I can easily moderate the intake of political news and am left blissfully unaware of the product of Mitt’s obscene spending. The downside is that, where the inundated masses in New Hampshire can be forced into [...]

“I want it to be a household name, where people start when they’re looking for an author, a book or what people are saying about current ideas or events,” said Madison over lunch at Absinthe, a few doors down from Redroom’s tasteful offices in San Francisco’s Hayes Valley. “Because we have the writers, we have [...]
