It’s been a five year wait, but it has been worth it. Michael Penn’s new cd Mr. Hollywood Jr., 1947 has been released and is now sitting at a store near you. May I recommend that you scoot over to Borders where the purchase comes with a bonus disc of Michael’s soundtrack work.
The bonus disc is entitled Cinemascope — A Sampler of Incidental Music Recorded for the Screen in Stereo.

Ostensibly A Rubber Door is about anything that's on my mind. Mostly that seems to be about politics, music, sports, and arguing with others about all of the above. I took the name of this blog from a Michael Penn song called Me Around. Check out Michael - he's about the best singer/songwriter there is.

Spencer,
I agree completely about the Michael Penn CD. It’s stunning. I haven’t yet picked up the Bob Mould album, which I’m going to rectify immediately by going to iTunes.

I’m really getting into the Bob Mould cd. The John Doe one shouldn’t be forgotten either - there are a lot duets and of note one with Neko Case and one with Kristen Hersh.

Son of a gun, I didn’t even know there was a bonus disc out there and I ordered mine from amazon. :(
