Glorious Noise Boards

The Replacements - Black Diamond Agreed! And I still quite love Jeff Buckley's "Hallelujah." With absolutely no irony, however, I think Mike Patton's cover (live only?) of Herb Alpert's "This Guy's in Love with You" is splendid. Oh, and The Tourists' version of "I Only Want...

Same here. I go with friends' recommendations as usual, but as for news, I occasionally look at Exclaim. One of my former authors is an editor there, too. I also listen to
