New Grenadier record
One of our bands, Grenadier, has a new album out. "Power pop" seems to be the closest thing to describe it. Elvis Costello, The Sweet, T-Rex, Spoon, Big Star, Raconteurs. Little sonic easter eggs, musical "quotes" from Bowie, The Wrens, Macca, ZZ Top, Heart, subliminally sprinkle...

Article comments bug
Something wierd's happening to my article comments. I'll get an error message about a minute after waiting for it to post. Then it shows up under "Recent comments" but not under the article itself. No biggie but thought I'd let you know.
