It’s not Currier and Ives, not a King Family Christmas Special, not A Charlie Brown Christmas, but it’s got a certain gritty Christmas honesty not found anywhere else. This moderately hopeful tune was lost on the otherwise dark Copperhead Road album and released in the late 80s.

The holidays are the perfect time to talk about fennel seed, renown for its digestive and flatulent inhibiting benefits. King Henry I of England and his household consumed eight pounds of fennel seed a month~enough said.

Lock up your pugs, East Portland, I spotted a coyote on Glisan a few blocks east of 122nd at 3:45 AM, heading east, looking large and well-fed. This was no scrawny urban coyote. Don’t say you haven’t been warned. This is a few blocks from Glendoveer Park. Another cabbie saw an owl in the street …

The ISB was really at their best without Rose and Licorice, with their best LP probably being The 5000 Spirits or the Layers of the Onion – but I personally love their debut, when they were a power trio with Mike, Robin and their founding father, Clive Palmer. I spent a week at Palmer’s house …

Dude, you just know “Monster” — arguably R.E.M.’s best LP ever — was influenced by Peter Buck’s time spent living in Seattle, way back in the early-1994 day. Why, I’ll even wager that Kurt Cobain — frisky secret Japanophile — told R.E.M. to visually represent themselves for the “Crush With Eyeliner” video with a wild …
I saw the Go-Gos at Hec Ed Pavillion in Seattle. I think that was in 1982 — maybe ’83, but probably ’82. I remember I had the cheaper seat ticket and the staff on the floor was scrutinizing everyone’s ticket to make sure they really belonged on the floor. When no one was looking, I …
Well, I fear as if I’m going to be accused of high crimes and misdemeanors, but less than a quarter the way through Lincoln I worried that if I saw one more cliche I was going to throw up. I wanted this movie so bad to be good. No. I wanted it to be great. …

Bam. Roll Tide. All the people that want their states to secede should just move to Alabama and then we’ll let Alabama secede. Bam. Roll Tide! Thanks to a disastrous 2011 anti-immigration law, Alabama successfully rid itself of its migrant workforce. Thus with this influx of secessionists, Alabama will have all the hands it needs …
