Lloyd Cole
Thanks to Matt , I learned today that Polydor has given the Deluxe Edition treatment to Rattlesnakes , the fantastic 1984 debut by Lloyd Cole and the Commotions. Although I don’t know if the second disc of demos, B-sides, and live cuts justifies the price, I was glad to see this because ...

Happy Birthday Sesame Street
I’m sure you’ve all heard by now that today is the 40th anniversary of the debut of Sesame Street. Last Friday, Fresh Air did a great tribute show , replaying older interviews with Jeff Moss, Frank Oz and Christopher Cerf, all of whom were essential in creating the show. ...

In Recognition Of Halloween…
…Jason, Jeff and I get seasonal on the new episode of the Popdose Podcast , talking about our childhood fears, which, as it turns out, aren’t nearly as disturbing as some of the things we’re capable of saying as adults. Admittedly, this one was entirely my fault. I also put ...

Little Boots
One of the podcasts I subscribe to is The Interface at Spinner.com, which gives a 20-minute performance of an up-and-coming band every week, with high-quality audio and video. If I don’t know the act, I’ll usually listen while preparing dinner. This way, if I can’t stand it, ...

In Honor Of Liverpool Football Club
After today’s victory over Manchester United, perhaps they should change their theme song from You’ll Never Walk Alone to this one. And yeah, I know that those pictures didn’t come from today’s game, but I can’t keep track of all of Torres’ ...
