With apologies to Randy Newman, Nick Stevens’ tribute to Boston’s pint-sized MVP while up to the usual Fitzy standards, has strong echoes of “The Best Show On WFMU”’s Timmy Von Trimble.

by Chris Estey Yes, you should own this book already. It was the first great rock book, and it is still high up in the top ten. But if you don’t have it on your shelves, now’s a great time to pick it up, due to its reprinting with another book’s amount of pages in sumptuous [...]

Good Old Boys’ centerpiece is “Louisiana 1927,” an account of the Great Mississippi Flood. The song’s refrain is “they’re trying to wash us away,” a comment on the theory that the city’s levees were dynamited to preserve the wealthier sections of New Orleans. Unsurprisingly, the song gained new popularity in 2005, after similar theories arose from Hurricane Katrina. It’s simply a gorgeous track, accomplishing...

So: is Randy Newman sending Jackson Browne a shout-out, or a put-down? I think it's the former, while John Mellencamp gets the latter (although Newman doth protest ). Me, I like 'em both, in no small part because they're lamenting the same decline of national character that Newman does. Mellencamp and Browne are selling their latest on eMusic, and I was quick to hit "download." Neither disc is likely...

Good writing is the presence as well as the absence of words, and I’ve been doing more of the former this week. I’ve been busy and lots has been going on. Writing is stupid, or maybe writing is clever but writers are stupid. I don’t really know. But I’m sitting here with nothing to write and I [...]

One of the combat sports which thrilled the crowds in the circuses of Ancient Rome was the pitting of blind men against ostriches. A savage and ugly spectacle, no doubt, and one quite out of keeping with our modern sensibilities, to say nothing of health and safety legislation. Yet I can’t help feeling that it [...]
