New Music January 2006

In: Music

Been bad at this - didn’t really have a good new music list over the holidays while trying to figure out what were my top 2005 releases. OK - so 2006 is a new and Cat Power’s release is the first big release of the year (as far as I’m concerned). Here’s what [...]

Best Albums of 2005

In: Michael Penn, Music

What better reason to have a blog than to create 2005 Best of Lists? Note Coldplay’s X&Y is left off because they refuse to get better. It’s not that the CD isn’t a good CD – it is. It’s that there are too many bands doing what they do and doing it [...]

New Music October 2005

In: Music

From Spencer’s iPod, here are some of the highlights of the last few months. I go through so much music monthly that it’s hard to keep track. So here a few I like and a couple I don’t.
Death Cab for Cutie - Plans (4 stars out of 5) - Sounds epic. Lush. [...]

About this blog

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.
