Happy Anniversary to my wife! It’s been 5 wonderful years, it’s been an adventure! Time seems to have gone so quickly, I’m 29 years old, hard to believe that I was just 24 when we got married. That sounds so young. I’m lucky to have a wife that worked to support us as I [...]

Andrew and I have a tradition. We ONLY watch scary movies during October. And we don’t watch them any other time of the year. …

The Outfield “Your Love”

I hadn’t thought too much about this song until I heard Bon Iver covering it. It’s best to be played at top volume while driving to the beach. Guilty pleasure? Yep. Also, killer video.

My punk rock past…..the critical acclaim and praise that Gaslight Anthem are receiving reminds me of two forgotten punk bands from the not-so-distant past: The Beltones and One Man Army. God bless drunken romanticism

Two live versions of songs from Low’s “Drums and Guns” album. These live in the studio versions are very similar to the haunting renditions found on the album. Stark songs about the horrors of war that surround us. Beautiful vocal interplay between husband and wife Alan Sparhawk and Mimi Parker

“Murderer”

“Breaker”
