CD review: Listen to Neil Young

By Jason Tabor on January 28, 2009

Neil Young has been around for a long time. Aside from looking at old publicity photos of Young from the 60s, it’s kind of hard to imagine ol’ Neil as a young man, or as anything less than the rock and roll icon he is today. I mean, dude, Neil Young! Rockin’ in the free world! Harvest! Cinnamon Girl! I think it’s safe to say he’s put out somewhere around 800 albums since the 60s, and this newest live album, “Sugar Mountain,” has quickly become one of my favorites in recent days.

Cooking something not worth eating

By Jason Tabor on November 19, 2008

Why oh why did I decide to review a new release by some American Idol contestant? Well, I must confess, thanks to the internet I have been listening to so much good music lately that I have not been forced to endure much of the dreck that is out there.

Presidency and race collide in 2008 election

By Jason Tabor on November 19, 2008

Barack Obama’s election victory was a bittersweet pill for many people in this country.

All Americans can take pride in and celebrate the Obama presidency as a symbol of progress in the struggle for equality and civil rights.

The Cure: still living the dream

By Jason Tabor on November 12, 2008

My friend Nelson does concrete for a living and is a pretty gnarly drummer; like, big, thudding, John Bonham drums. He is kind of a “tough guy.” That’s why I was so surprised when, years into our friendship, he “came out of the closet” and admitted that he was a huge Cure fan. I was too! It is not always cool to admit you like the Cure. Maybe it is the association with moping goth kids or the silly imagery or Robert Smith all covered in makeup and acting like a sad, sad girl, but sometimes you have to keep your Cure love on the down-low.

Acid Tongue that speaks volumes

By Jason Tabor on November 5, 2008

Rilo Kiley is the indie-rock band that made Jenny Lewis a household name among the hipster set during the past few years.

Lewis is the rare Hollywood success story, the former TV child-star who avoids the pitfalls of fame and goes on to become a respected singer and songwriter in adulthood.

Skating it up, here at Millersville

By Jason Tabor on October 22, 2008

Skateboarders in Millersville will soon have their very own community skate park to ride in. The proposed park will be built upon the seldom-used and deteriorating tennis court adjacent in the Millersville Park adjacent to John Herr’s Market.

Joe the plumber

By Jason Tabor on October 22, 2008

Anyone else getting burned out on this election cycle? I’m not thrilled with either of the presidential candidates and disheartened at the level of vitriol that is being bandied about by Americans against other Americans of differing ideological positions. We’re a nation divided at the moment, perhaps even more so than during 2000 and 2004.

Bad drivers, great receptions

By Jason Tabor on October 15, 2008

Well, it happened again today. Once again, some idiot with a cell phone plastered to her ear put my life at risk by blowing through a stop sign and almost crashing into me.

If It Exists, Sing about it

By Jason Tabor on October 15, 2008

I have known the guys in Slimfit for a number of years now, and have had the pleasure of sharing beers and having a good time with them enough times to feel comfortable in describing them as “good people.”

Forget watching the TV

By Jason Tabor on September 24, 2008

TV On The Radio, or TVOTR, is a hard band to pigeonhole.
