So this was... odd to talk about? Kind of wish I liked it a lot more, but it happens... Next up is Miranda Lambert, so stay tuned!

So what constitutes an artist's finale? Because you can tell that's a question that's hung heavy on a lot of people, from ...

And this kicks all amounts of ass too - yay! Next up, I think I'm about ready for Swans, so stay tuned!

So one observation I've made about Resonators this year is that I've wound up covering a lot of acts I would otherwise review on a...

Short, but workable... I've had to deal with worse. Next up is Resonators, and ooh boy, I'm excited about this one - stay tuned...

Yeah, this one is going to piss folks off... eh, such is life. Anyway, either Elbow or the New Pornographers next, stay tuned!
