As I was listening to Car Talk yesterday (yes, I’m an old man and I listen to Car Talk), I realized that I have a very conflicted and storied history with cars. On the one hand, I hate them. Absolutely detest them. Every car I’ve ever owned has been a big pain in the ass [...]
Yet another pairing that would never have occurred to me! A little birdy slipped this lovely remix to me, and I’m told it’s so new that this will be its first introduction to the world. You never know what Anthony Gonzalez will do in a remix – sometimes he makes it a little dancey, sometimes [...]

Last week saw new releases from an artist I’ve been crazy about from day one – M83 – and a release from an artist that lost me somewhere along the way – Moby. Since they both released vaguely conceptual records, I thought I’d combine my thoughts on both efforts in one tidy package. And hey, [...]
