Brace yourself for this week’s collection of things from the internet. And finally Hatebeak. I would like to see parrot fronted metal take off. Actually I would like parrot fronted anything take off. [...] I posted last week on time, and i read all the posts this week, and there were several I meant to go back and listen to things, post comments, etc. I still think I will, but now suddenly it’s Friday and I haven’t even thought of anything to write about.

First is some accordion music, because everybody loves accordion music: Next (and I wish I could embed this, but I can’t) is Andrew Bird and Yo-Yo Ma. Now I’m going to lay a couple links on you. For the Beatles fans here, [...] I haven’t been a fan for a long time. I used to be a Beatles fan when I was a kid. I was a Rolling Stones fan in college.
