I haven't blogged in a while

But culture consumption continues. Some high points, in no particular order.

1) The Hang Ups - self titled, 2003. An entirely different band from the one I fell in love with 15 years ago. They got replaced by a more mature, even cooler pop band.

2) Corrine Bailey Rae - self titled, 2006. Some high notes on par with Marvin Gaye.

3) Thin Lizzy. There's a biography of Phil Lynott starring Gary Dourdan coming to a theater near you in the near future.

4) The Clientele. Exists in its own space.

5) Dosh - One of Minneapolis' finest. His latest, The Lost Take, shows huge growth. His best release yet. If this list was in order of preference this would be #1.
