Taylor on Taylor: Episode Two
Last episode, Taylor K. Brown and I, Taylor K. Long, took you through the wild world of Katy Perry, Kanye West, sci-fi, sex metaphors, R. Kelly, Fleet Foxes and Starbucks.

T-Sides Elsewhere, Jan. 24th Edition
I told you I would slowly get back into the game, and here I am. I wrote a review of Destroyer’s Kaputt for Bullz-Eye/ESD Music, I introduced one of my favorite tracks of 2010, Broken Social Scene’s “All To All” for the Contrast Podcast Festive Fifty, and I penned a write up of Giant Travel...

Hello, Blue Roses is the pairing of Dan...
