May Fan of the Month: Neilio
When did you become a fan? I became a fan in 1982. Why? What drew you to the band? It was hearing Hungry Like the Wolf and later seeing the video.

Thank You, You’re Welcome (Part Two)
Thank You was a misguided album born from good intentions. Let’s try to figure out what went wrong. Imagine what could have been if they took a slightly different path…
Thank You, You’re Welcome – Part One
The inexplicable decision to record Thank You in the wake of a commercial resurgence continues to perplex me whenever I revisit it. What should have Thank You sounded like?
How Far Will You Go?

In My Bones – the Podcast “Primer”
So, once upon a time, I decided to record a podcast as a sort of primer to In My Bones. Thinking that perhaps it might be fun to talk about Dom’s new album as an <insert laughter here> unbiased reporter, I did my homework. I listened to the album approximately eleventy-thousand times, took copious notes,… Continue reading In My Bones – the Podcast “Primer”
