Speak­ing of records, my friend Erik Kosk­i­nen just released his lat­est, Keep it to Your­self. It’s got some great musi­cians on it, cool songs, and Erik’s total­ly unique, J.J. Cale-meets-Daniel Lanois gui­tar work. If you find your­self in Min­neapo­lis on a Wednes­day night, you should go check him out at Nye’s, where he plays week­ly with Mol­ly Maher.
