My partner Nik is sort of a juggernaut when it comes to contemporary music--he reads lots of music sites, mines the best of bands before they hit it big, and goes to tons of shows. I, on the other hand, can't really stop listening to the mainstays of my high school days--Patty Griffin, Shannon Worrell, Aretha Franklin, Bonnie Raitt's old stuff, Common, Mos Def etc. A couple of weeks ago, however, Nik...
