Music I Like: Josh Rouse
April 4, 2009
For the past couple years I've been meaning to write a roundup of music that I've been listening to and particularly enjoy, but as is painfully clear, I never got around to it. So, instead of coming up with a huge list, I thought I'd post little bite-size morsels.

When I got home from work this evening, a package was waiting for me on my desk. I sat down, tore off one end of the padded envelope, and pulled out a book written in Korean. Of course I can't read a word of Korean, and the cover is a … Read More
