March is shaping up to be a tremendous month for me. First, on Tuesday, this delightfully understated Irish quartet will release their new album. Now, honestly, I’m a bit iffy about it. I haven’t loved the little I’ve heard from it, thus far. Still, I respect their catalog enough that I’ll pick it up and [...]

I’ve been hearing The Ting Tings on the radio for a month or so, now. WRXP was playing them to drum up interest in their holiday concert. To be honest, they didn’t do much for me and I wasn’t really looking forward to the show. Let this be a lesson in why it’s important to [...]
