An interesting bit from the syndicated advice column Ask Amy .
Dear Amy: I recently started seeing a guy who is a part-time musician. We really connected. I’m totally swooning over him, and I’m not someone who regularly swoons.
The problem is that I’m not crazy about his music. It’s not bad; it’s just not very original.
I was a music major in college, and I’ve done freelance music reviews, so I’ve got a sort of built-in music snobbery that has very little to do with taste and more to do with being able to analyze song structure, harmonic structure and melody more than most people who haven’t studied music.
On the whole, his songs are pleasant, but it’s hard to silence that music-critic voice in my head that says: “OK, you’ve played those two chords enough now. How about trying something different?”

I like Ol’ Gnarls Barkley. I think that Danger Mouse is quite clever in the area of producing records.
“The Grey Album”, I thought it was interesting but, over hyped. I think that “Demon Days” by Gorillaz was a great piece of work. Cee-lo the singer in Gnarls; that guy can bring it. That guy is a real deal R&B singer. So, I’m always interested in what these cats are doing.

I like living in the Ozarks, even on a cloudy day.
And, for right now at least, the little hillside where the Winnebago sits, suits me fine.
One thing was troubling me though. I have a little Grundig Traveller VII shortwave radio; great little device. One thing I like to do is listen to broadcasts from around the world late at night. My favorite is Radio Havana. I was very disappointed to find that the Grundig picks up absolutely no shortwave signal from this location; none. And, if...
