Regan

It was a tight race between Sam Hornish Jr. and Regan Smith for the rookie of the year honors entering Homestead. Hornish led by a slim margin but it was Smith who came out victorious in Homestead and brings home the honor of being named the 2008 Raybestos Rookie of the Year. Smith won 236 to 229 which was helped due to the fact that Hornish failed to qualify for the Ford 400.I am sure that Smith

Critics and peers agree, Brian Regan has distinguished himself as one of the premier comedians in the country. The perfect balance of sophisticated writing and physicality. For those of you who read nutrition labels ... well, you'll appreciate his view on serving sizes. I laughed my ass off.

I just have to share this. Kevin Tracy strikes again with this video of Fred Thompson during his first debate. For a man who is supposed to be "The Next Ronald Regan" he sure doesn't communicate like him.

Haunted. I suppose that's the best way to put the spirit I have been left in since seeing Irish troubadour Fionn Regan play a week ago. I will add that it's "haunted in a most wonderful way" - but I move through my days and periodically think back on Regan's diminutive frame and his shy nature and his slow but assured words and dead accurate guitar. The Irish singer-songwriter is a modern treasure. For those who have not been exposed - here we go...Fionn ReganI was contacted by an ally at Filter Magazine to see if I wanted to attend the Fionn Regan show at Cambridge's Lizard Lounge (a sensational venue for it's intimate setting and great location - just a couple blocks north of Harvard Square.) While already exhausted from work and some recent shows of late I snapped at the chance. I knew only one Fionn Regan song but it was enough to get me out. And, as I said, the show would prove to be magnificent!When one arrives at the Lizard Lounge, you walk down a staircase into what appear

Last night Irishman Fionn Regan opened for Lucinda Williams at Town Hall in NYC. He’s freaking amazing and has a very Damien Rice-Neil Young-Connor Oberst type thing going on. His first two EP’s Hotel and Reservior, gained him attention and he moved from Anvil Records over to Bella Union. Under this new label he released and produced his first full-length, The End of History. The album came out this past July in the US from Lost Highway Records and its seriously beautiful.The Cowshed""Black Water Child"

From the delicate and deceptively intricate "Be Good or Be Gone" that inaugurates Fionn Regan’s debut album, The End of History, it’s apparent that his is a talent not to be ignored. Recalling any number of folkish predecessors--Bob Dylan, Jose Gonzalez, Nick Drake--Regan’s finger-picked guitar work and warm, Damien Rice-esque vocals flow through this entire project like meandering, golden streams. Mixing winsome melodies with emotive chords and quasi-poetic lyricism, Regan straddles the classic folk sound of the 60s and the contemporary neo-folk scene with bristling aplomb. Unlike many so called ‘new folk’ heroes though, Regan keeps his approach simple, varying his songs not with electronic beats or acidic guitar squalls but light embellishments such as brooding strings (see the dark, Gonzalez-esque "Hunter's Map") and subtle backing vocals (see "Black Water Child"). Though skeletal, Regan’s songs create a dreamy, nostalgic ambience that successfully eschew cliché. Int

Someone said to me about four years ago that the singer-songwriter has come and gone. I remember this (and other obscenities) being shouted in a loud car over a CD mix of Blonde on Blonde-era-Dylan and shrugging a little as I rolled my window...
