Letters Illustration I made for the NY Times today.

“Invitation to a Dialogue: Time for a Third Party?”

http://www.nytimes.com/2011/12/28/opinion/invitation-to-a-dialogue-time-for-a-third-party.html?_r=1&ref=opinion

—BEST ALBUMS—

Warren Zevon - Self Titled

Warren Zevon is the most under-rated songwriter of the 70s and this is his best album. Desperados Under The Eaves guts me every times.

Queen - A Night at the Opera

Every song on this album kills. Equal parts face melting guitar work and show tune mincing.

Wings - Wings Across America

My requisite Wings nod. Contains the best version of Maybe I’m Amazed. Worth the price of admission for Linda’s shitty/awesome one finger keyboard solo during Jet.

Boz Scaggs - Silk Degrees

The soundtrack of my youth. This was on heavy rotation in my parent’s Volvo as a kid and has been permanently embedded in my DNA since. I can still see my parents belting out Harbor Lights.

The Modern Lovers - Self Titled

I am happy to just listen to Jonathan Richman talk, all this singing stuff is just a bonus.

Bob Seger - Night Moves

Hate if you want to hate. With all the Springsteen fetishism in recent years it is a mystery why cooler-than-though critics still treat Bob Seger like the plague. Give it a few years.

—BEST SONGS—

Heart - Crazy On You

This song is a direct line to god. Been losing my voice to this one a lot lately.

Wings - Silly Little Love Songs

Cloying, goofy, and naive. Saved by one of the most UN-FUCK-WITH-ABLE bass lines of all time.

Queen - Bohemian Rhapsody

Listen again for the first time. There will never be another song like this song.

Boz Scaggs - Lowdown

A lot of my best memories in my 20s have this song as a soundtrack. I know it’s coming, but the breakdown gets me every time. Also; FUNKY JAZZ FLUTE!

All By Myself - Eric Carmen

The torch song to burn all other torch songs. After his band the Raspberries broke-up Carmenwrote a ton of cheesy soft-rock ballads but none come close to this one in impact. I’m welling up just thinking about the chorus.

—WORST ALBUMS—

Steve Miller Band - Fly Like An Eagle

I don’t know how this asshole snuck his way into classic rock radio. Fuck you, Steve Miller.

Billy Joel - Turnstiles

We all have people in our lives that we want to like but for some reason just annoy the shit out of us. Billy Joel is that guy for a lot of people I think.

AC/DC - Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap

The world is still waiting for this band to write a second song.

Creedence Clearwater Revival - Chronicle

Sorry, El Duderino. The world is still waiting for John Fogerty to write his second song too.

Le Jabba Ergonomiga Botha

One of my favorite things about doing The Great Discontent is getting to interview people that I look up to creatively. This week is no exception. Dan Cassaro (aka Young Jerks) is one of my favorite typography-focused designers. I love how his sense of humor and love for music comes across in his work. On top of that, Dan’s a great guy to boot so do yourself a favor and go read his interview…
