Real talk now, folks. You’re going to read a lot of year-end/decade-end listicles this week. People love these kinds of lists, but there’s a fatal flaw to most of them:…
Review: Coldplay, “Everyday Life”
Coldplay is pretentious, but that's not always a bad thing.

Review: Various Artists, “Come On Up To The House: Women Sing Waits”
Tribute hits the mark for Waits as songwriter, but not Waits as artist.
