William Smead submits: The current circumstances in the U.S. stock market remind me of one of my favorite bands from college, Supertramp, and their song “Nothing But a Dreamer”. It appears that individual investors and many of the financial advisors that take care of them “have their head in their hands, oh no!” This was pointed out to us in one of Mark Hulbert’s columns...

Warning: If you don't like whimsical whimsicalness ...don't read this. I haven't done one of these for a while but I spent a pleasurable few hours yesterday re-visiting some old Supertramp albums. The reason? Well, I heard 'School', the opening track to Supertramp's classic 1974 album on the radio and it instantly transported me back in time to Droof Days. I'm pretty certain I first heard this album...

I'm really not that into jam bands. When I was at Camp Solelim, there was so much Phish cocksucking that I just got sick of it and went head first into indie rock. Moe, Umphrey's, never cared about them. So why was I at the Umphrey's McGee show last night? Well, I was on the guestlist so I figured why not? Who knows, maybe I'll get with some crazy hippie chick, otherwise I'll just get some reading...

Supertramp's Paris album is one of the greatest live albums. Ranks right up there with The Kinks One For the Road , Sarah Vaughan's At Mr. Kelly's , and Johnny Cash's At Folsom Prison . It isn't just a live recording of the band's songs, it is an album unto itself. Here is " Dreamer ":

Sometimes something (that you might or might not call a work of art) has something unique about it, which makes it stand out, even if in some ways it seems like kitsch. That even kitsch can be valuable, is an invaluable lesson to learn; also, that absurd things can be unique. All good works of art have something to offer; but not all of us have the capacity to be artsy all the time. Art is inherently...

(Photo: Fumi Nagasaka) Kap Bambino aren't playing anywhere this weekend, which is pretty weird as their ghoulish, black-eyed electro is a perfect fit for the gore and tack of Hallowe'en. Jackson knows that, at least; romping with Kap in the "Batcave" catacombs beneath Paris. It wouldn't surprise me if you found them there this weekend, actually - if you lack the balls to investigate, you...

I'm finally getting around to publishing this top 10 list, after talking about it for weeks if not months. Putting together this list made me realise how subjective the concept of a guilty pleasure is. You might think that Chic and Abba are guilty pleasures, but as far as I'm concerned, if it belongs on the dance floor, then I'm not going to feel so much as a pang of guilt any time soon. So here goes,...

I guess with that face, Ricky Gervais always has to play the loser. So it is no surprise that is how he starts off in The Invention of Lying. Although there are quite a few funny moments, it is hard to make a full length movie out of one concept. So it is patchy and loses momentum half way through. For me, it is the songs in the second half which hold it together: Donovan's "Try and Catch the...
