Music musing

Listening to Neil Young's "Freedom"today. While I have always been somewhat familiar with the man's work, I haven't really been much of a fan just for lack of effort. I'm liking the album a lot, and upon listening to the song "Don't Cry", I realize the impact this guy had on grunge/alternative/indie rock throughout the 80s and 90s.

End of a trend?

Since when was banh mi a trend? We've been eating banh mi (and pho) in Minneapolis for decades. Like Andrea Nguyen and hotpot said, by the time NY media catches onto something it is already well established outside NY.
