		<description><![CDATA[All My Life I Will Wait To Attain It By Taylor K. Long At some point in our 20s, we inevitably feel what can best be described as a burden of proof. We begin noticing milestones, the age of achievements. How Michelangelo was 29 when he finished “David.” How Franz Liszt was famous and touring Europe by the age of 30. The stream of brilliant young minds is endless; every generation will have its Mark Zuckerbergs and Beyoncés and Téa Obrehts to compare themselves to. This feeling causes us to scratch at the walls, imagined or otherwise, desperate to push things out into the world, to keep pace, to claim our stake in front of the eyes of our peers. Robin Pecknold, primary Fleet Foxes scribe, was 22 when their self-titled debut was released, an album that has since reached Platinum-level (1,000,000+) sales in the UK and very nearly Gold (408,000+) in the US. What do you do when you’re 23 and you know your next work will be devoured by the judgmental ears of over a million people? If you’re Pecknold, you take three years and you write an album, scrap it, then write another one, moving to a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[By Davis McGraw I suck at keeping up with new releases, but I’m a sucker for show &#38; tell. Here are five records that I heard in 2011 and deserve a good listen. 5. Southside Johnny &#38; the Asbury Jukes: Havin’ A Party With Southside Johnny (1979) [Goodwill in Laconia, August] Johnny found his way into my collection near the end of a brief serendipitous streak, and for that I thank him. Much like the Boss, these boardwalk boys know their escapism back &#38; forth. 4. Ry Cooder: Paris, Texas (1985) [Burlington Records, September] I remember watching Paris, Texas for the first time while anxiously communicating with two women via text, and even then the soundtrack demanded most of my attention. Has there ever been a truly bad Ry Cooder album? Once you’ve been in The Magic Band, I don’t think it’s allowed. Rest in Beef, Mr. van Vliet. 3. Frank &#38; Jesse: Let It Come Down (2011) [USPS, June] Frank &#38; Jesse are fronted by a guy named John Salvage who happened to play a pretty notable role in getting me out of my skull and onto the stage, so I’m fortunate enough to have great memories to accompany [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[By Davis McGraw In addition to unskilled labor, songwriting and looking for pre-1979 Fleetwood Mac records at yard sales, my human experience has been defined, for better or worse, by days and nights spent in cheap diners. This column is about all those times, tracks, faces, plates and places. While growing up in Vermont, a hallmark of the summertime was the after-dinner walk my family took once or twice a week. We’d leave with the sun still peeking over the treetops, casting long shadows on the warm pavement as we strolled down the hill from our quiet neighborhood cluster into the modest downtown. More than any other edifice from the mean streets of the early ‘90s, I remember the Windsor Diner’s chrome and red plastic shine, abandoned in the quiet stretch between the Cumby’s parking lot stoners and Pizza Chef’s hazy pool sharks and rat-tailed Ninja Turtle wastoids. As I peeked through the foyer at the wooden booths and the dark, empty glass cases behind the counter, I’d ask my Dad if we could go there when it re-opened. He’d shrug and assure me that we’d go someday, if it ever opened, and continue down the cracked sidewalk, leaving me [...]]]></description>

If you missed it, you can relive the glory here.

		<description><![CDATA[By Taylor K. Long While record browsing with a friend at Greenpoint’s Permanent Records last week, I found a copy of the Long Winters album, When I Pretend To Fall in the .99 section and realized that though I love it, I don’t own it in any physical form. The kind clerk informed me that .99 CDs were three for $1, so essentially I could pick out two more CDs for free. When deciding which CDs to get, I wondered, Should I pick something random and hope it’s good? What are the odds of something in the .99 section being good? There are things here that I like, should I go with something safe that I already know I like? Should I get something I might not otherwise want to pay full price for? There are many forces influencing the albums, films and books we choose, so here is a snapshot of the forces that drove me to buy the albums I bought that day (both for .99 and otherwise). The Long Winters, When I Pretend To Fall As mentioned, found in the .99 section, but the price certainly doesn’t reflect quality. This is my favorite album from the Seattle [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Love is a battley by Howard Lee Lyon By Howard Lee Lyon Some acquaintance (friend) was at the bar the other night pontificating freely, wrickedly raging upset and morbosed-out about some era-bygone classmate&#8217;s commit to suicide. They found him that morning, bored a hole in his face with a piece of metal on metal quick-action, probably something semi-automatic. (One&#8217;s gotta question that phrase, &#8220;semi-automatic.&#8221; For us literate-brained querists, how is something &#8220;somewhat automatic&#8221;? Automatic sounds like a term dealing with absolutes and when you start adding prefixes to it, that means we got variants and degrees hidden in &#8220;automatics.&#8221; Thus, absolutes are just another aspect of tragi-comic modern life as warfare, nothing is intrinsic and nothing has meaning, parody we slowly see setting in, which of course is microcosmic of suicide in itself, and the questions raised around suicide. Is it a semi-automatic reaction, I would guess not, I would say a thorough assessment and assertion of the facts at hand. I&#8217;ve gone too far.) As this dear friend continued his lament of the one-finite-decision made individual, he became visually irked with this idea, which I have propagated mindfully in past times, that suicide is selfish, a rash quick-fix decision [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If I Had An Orchard, I&#8217;d Work &#8216;Til I&#8217;m Raw By Taylor K. Long Sometimes it feels like a song has been written with a piece of you. Like someone invaded your house when you weren’t there, sat on your bed with a cup of tea, and looked at your old photos, read all your e-mails, and all of your notebooks. This is what it feels like every time I hear &#8220;Helplessness Blues,&#8221; the first single and title track from the Fleet Foxes’ second album. It feels like Robin Pecknold found a portal into my head, Being John Malkovich style. Fleet Foxes, Helplessness Blues (download) I was raised up believing I was somehow unique Like a snowflake distinct among snowflakes Unique in each way you can see Most of us have aspirations of doing wonderful, special things. We want to live our own individual stories, in which we create or do something never done before. In the spinning of our tales, we do and have it all, and we get it in the most magnificent fashion. We have a legacy. And now after some thinking I’d say I’d rather be A functioning cog in some great machinery Serving something beyond [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve struggled for about a year now over what to do with T-Sides. I started T-Sides at a time when music writing and journalism were changing. Not to say that they aren&#8217;t still changing, or aren&#8217;t always changing, but my decade or so pursuing a journalism career has been stretched across a serious shift in journalism. We probably should&#8217;ve expected the internet to be a bigger game changer, but I clearly wasn&#8217;t the only one who just kind of didn&#8217;t consider it. When I studied up for my BA in Print Journalism, that first word says it all &#8211; Print Journalism. There was one class in Online Journalism, and it was offered once a year at 8am. By the time I realized I should be taking an Online Journalism class, I was in my senior year, interning at Rolling Stone, commuting from Long Island to Manhattan a couple days a week, and not remotely interested in taking an 8am class. Instead, I made this blog, inspired by other music blogs, and hoping that my internship at Rolling Stone would be something worth writing home about &#8212; more like the MTV show (which they filmed a year later, and I did [...]]]></description>
