Some nefarious music hounds from Decatur twisted my outsized ego into creating a dialogue littered with opinionated recommendations and myopic rants. Therefore, to put a smidgen of decency back into nepotism, I have stolen the title "Sweet Talk" in homage of my father who had a weekly sports and leisure column of the same in the early 70's that was syndicated in several small town newspapers in the land the gods made great, New England (sans Connecticut of course). Luckily this space will focus more on sporting leisure, my favorite kind.
This is a great little visual reminder of where our hard earned money goes when we hand it over to those “in charge”. I found this because it features Javelin’s “Oh, Centra!” which I found on OurStage.com many moons ago and still can not get out of my head. It’s one of those rare tracks that is gut busting funny if you listen to the lyrics while having a Beck meets Atari beat that actually busts a move.
Grace Woodroofe’s voice calls to mind Ella Fitzgerald, Nina Simone and Etta James—maybe even the weighty, raspiness of Tom Waits. Certainly not a 22-year-old singer/songwriter from Perth, Australia. more
