Ryan Bingham on Letterman: “The Weary Kind”
If you caught the end of Letterman on Monday night, you caught Ryan Bingham‘s “The Weary Kind” – a Golden Globe nominated tune from Crazy Heart (a movie which by all accounts is fantastic). The song was written by Ryan…

A Nudge in the Right Direction
Here are some recent unearthings I feel the need to pass along… Heard a good live Clash recording lately? For shame. Go to Licorice Pizza to download a great quality show from December 27, 1979. Thirty one years ago. Whaaa?…
