A review of Never Home from salon.com

I deleted the link to the Citysearch profile on account of that site's having been redesigned to make linking, browsing, and general use needlessly annoying. It's a tiny bit of vengeance, but dammit, it's all I got. Don't worry, the profile wasn't that interesting.

Other:

Streaming collection of his videos at Yahoo Launch. The four are: "Gina"; "The Lucky One"; "Bad Reputation"; and "On the Way Out." Three out of the four videos are for songs that, listened to in a certain manner, are impossibly depressing. And three out of four are predominantly black and white! I sense a theme.
