Me and the Major

Songs in me heads:
"Me and the Major" by Belle & Sebastian
"Fox in the Snow" by Belle & Sebastian

NME has some info about Frank Black's next solo record. Very interesting list of session musicians . . .

Neil Diamond to work with Rick Rubin. Read all about here.

Large Hearted Boy posted a link for the new video for the Decemberists. After hearing a song in CD Addict and after seeing this video, I think I need to get Picaresque . . .

Finally, here's a nice little quote from the Onion: "It says in the Bible that the morning-after pill is wrong. I believe the passage is Pharmaceuticals 3:16."

The Star Wars saga itself is bigger than those reactions, and I’m happy to see the saga transcend generations. I’m only a few days removed from seeing The Rise of Skywalker for the first time. I thought it was a fantastic film in the Skywalker saga. And since I’m not a filmmaker or a producer, I’m not one to make a bold claim about how I would have done it better. Because Star...
