Oh no, you found me. Do not overlook this album this year. Thanks to WFUV for putting together sessions like this.

This video is simply stunning. Beautiful. Wow! Kudos to all involved: Brock Scott, Tom Haney, Little Tybee, Center for Puppetry Arts and all the others. Again, wow!

We should also mention that you can see Little Tybee live as part of the Atlanta Music Writer’s Roundtable showcase at the EARL, December 21st. But first, watch the video.

Girls “Hunny Bunny”

A brilliant intersection between the theme of the Replacement’s “Androgynous” and the sounds of almost anything off the first four Beach Boys records. Did I say brilliant? Yes, brilliant!

Oh, I like the flares too.

The Black Keys “Lonely Boy”

At some point last year I said this band was at the height of its powers. I was wrong. They’re still climbing.

I heard this track for the first time today in my economy rental with the hand crank windows just outside of Charlottesville courtesy of Virginia Radio WNRN. Thank goodness the car had an FM radio.

I got home to find the video which may make the track even better. Who’s that in the office?

Another Steve Jobs post. I found this irresistible and worth sharing.

I might also note that I am amazed at the breadth of coverage today. Steve Jobs is not only on the front page of every major news website but also among the headlines on ESPN and Pitchfork. Truly global.

In memoriam.
