“Bachelor Pad”
Maybe since I haven’t been a bachelor since 5th grade, I’m not qualified to understand why this term is so widely used and easily accepted.
Do people who live in “bachelor pads” really think they’re cool? Or are they so past the point of desperation they feel that dubbing their Ikea-clad condos with a hip name might help them sleep at night, even if it doesn’t help them score some chicks?
Or maybe “bachelor pad” is simply a term used by the parents of the guys who live in them, used when talking to their other empty nester friends about their sons accomplishments over t-bone steak and red wine?
Whatever the case, I just don’t get it.

2. S’Mores – They changed the recipe, but they used to be irresistible.
1. Count Chocula – It’s like Lucky Charms, but with a gothic twist.

(THE TALLEST MAN ON EARTH)
With all this fever in my mind, I could drown in your kerosene eyes. You’re just a riddle in the sky. Oh where do my bluebirds fly?
It’s fair to assume the songs Kristian Matsson sings on his latest LP, “Shallow Graves,” were written by a master wordsmith from 40 years past.
But you’d be wrong.
I’m no music historian, but of what little I know of the man, I can’t help but compare the songwriting to that of Bob Dylan. The music is sparse, seldom more than an acoustic guitar or a banjo. These are a set of haunted American campfire tales, sung by a Swede with a voice somewhere between Dylan and David Gray.
At the end of the day, I can’t stop playing these songs. Have a listen for yourself. Check out my favorite two tracks:
And here’s a Youtube clip of Kristian performing “It Will Follow the Rain“
