• Tonight! Target Market CD release show at Off Broadway New MP3

  Sorta last-minute post here, but I forgot to mention that Target Market is holding a CD release show for its new album, Up On the Moon, tonight at Off Broadway. I had this to say; new MP3 after the jump. Consider the preconceived notions and past memories you might have about Target Market, and then forget them all. In the past year or so, the Edwardsville quartet has evolved into a formidable live act whose Pavement-esque askew tones, fuzz-coated riffs and taut rhythms compare with any national

• The Novice Foodie Presses for Better Coffee

  Ah, coffee. I love the comfort of the morning coffee ritual: the first sip, the way a warm mug feels in my hand, the permeating aroma as I get my day going. But woe was the Novice Foodie this past summer when my doctor said I had to cut out caffeine for a while to ensure I wouldn't drop dead at a moment's notice. Well, technically, I wasn't on the verge of death, but she did say that drinking a pot or so a day might be contributing to my anxiety and/or random heart palpitations. She had a point
