NY Times Bloggage
My friend Darin Strauss, who was in a band with me once, and who played the solo on “De-Evolving,” and who is now a famous author, has honored me by including my song in his list of what he’s listening to, posted this week on the NY Times books blog. As it turns out, he’s also a pretty good music writer (with excellent taste).
Not for nothing, but his new, fantastic book is called “More Than it Hurts You” and it comes out in June.

Congratulations!
I can’t believe he put you at number eight AND put the Beatles below you!
You should have been number 1! And the Beatles should have been number .1! (sorry, I was a Beatles fan before I found your music, I have to put them first)

On topic: Yay! JoCo in the NY Times!

I thought his name looked familiar–I read “Chang and Eng” a few years ago. I agree with Darin about JoCo’s use of language and enjoyment of words. That’s one of the first thing that drew me in to his music.

That solo shreds.

I’ve actually rewound that solo a few times over just to hear it again. Now I can put a name to the rock.
