“They’re just public mausoleums / The living dead fill every room” Have you ever heard art galleries referred to as “public mausoleums?” In “All The Rowboats,” Regina Spektor likens art galleries to coffins that have trapped […]

Tuesday Tunes – “Iron Rooster” by Foo Fighters
On October 28th, the Foo Fighters’ website was replaced with a mysterious clock and looped audio on its homepage counting down to November 23rd. Was the band announcing a new album – Sonic Highways II, perhaps? Another world […]

Put on your rose-colored glasses (or take them off) because today’s tune explores that concept.
