Alright here are my thoughts on the cd’s I’ve been listening to this month….
The best of the month
The Woods - Sleater-Kinney - Click Here for a review I wrote earlier this month
Patience and Silence - Adam Richman (found on eMusic). This is a great power pop cd. I felt a little dissappointed in the [...]

So here is my inaugural “What the fuck was [...]
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.
