Outside Reading — Lone Star State of Disaster edition

February 20, 2021February 18, 2021 Dan Seeger

Texas Could Have Kept the Lights On by Richard Parker Texas Republicans like to obsessively point out problems at the border, but I have a feeling they’ll remain silent about the state line–related emergency pictures above.

This Week’s Model — Esther Rose, “Good Time”

February 19, 2021February 19, 2021 Dan Seeger

I don’t it’s accurate to say that my immediate affection for Esther Rose’s new track, “Good Time,” can be chalked up to the fact that the song was reportedly inspired by a long, misfortune-laden road trip that originated in my … Continue reading This Week’s Model — Esther Rose, “Good Time”

Laughing Matters — Yo La Tengo, “Sugarcube”

February 18, 2021February 18, 2021 Dan Seeger

Sometimes comedy illuminates hard truths with a pointed urgency that other means can’t quite achieve. Sometimes comedy is just funny. This series of posts is mostly about the former instances, but the latter is valuable, too. To the degree that … Continue reading Laughing Matters — Yo La Tengo, “Sugarcube”

College Countdown: CMJ Top 1000, 1979 – 1989 — #392 to #390

February 14, 2021 Dan Seeger

392. R.E.M., Chronic Town (1982) As the nineteen-eighties dawned, R.E.M. couldn’t get a foothold like their fellow acts in Athens, Georgia.
