A new song . A tale of love and addiction. It's been a long time since I have been to London. 30 years, to be precise. I lived in Bath, England, for a year when I was 10, and my mother took me and my brothers on occasional weekend trips into London, where we stayed at bed and breakfasts and took in the sites. I have very strong memories of those weekends, and of England in general; I suspect because that year was so unusual for me, it has stayed with me in a way that much of the rest of my childhood in Minnesota hasn't. I found our old house in Swainswick on Google maps recently. It was strange to look down on it from above and recognize it anyway. There was the little church down the street that we occasionally visited. There was the school I went to, across the street from where I lived, and the house the school's headmistress lived in, right next to mine. There was the grave in the back with a stone lid carved with the figure of a supine knight, still clutching his sword. I've been thinking about this, on and off, for a long time, because I would like to go back and visit, but haven't been able to afford to. I started writing this song inspired by that sense of longing for a place I knew when I was a boy. Then it turned into something else, the way songs do, especially when I write them. It sort of turned into a Neil Jordan film. And that's fine with me, as I like Neil Jordan's films. "YOU CAN'T GO BACK TO LONDON" LYRICS: He went do ...

A country blues song about love and loss on the road to Los Angeles. A new song. It's not autobiographical. None of my songs are, not literally. But they all borrow from my experiences, and my experience of moving to Los Angeles was a troubled one. The first time I went to Los Angeles, at age 21, I flew out there. With me was my 16-year-old brother, who had dropped out of school and was running away from home. We financed our trip, in part, with money from insurance -- my brother had been in a very minor car accident, and had gotten a check for $600 to fix a din on the vehicle. Instead, we bought airplane tickets. We also went in for hair cuts. I got mine dyed a vivid fire-engine red, while my brother had his shaved into a finlike blue mohawk. I had never done anything like this, and was terrified. On the airplane, both my brother and I order cocktail after cocktail. I expressed surprise to the flight attendant that she had not checked our IDs. "Well," she said, "I figured, what are you going to do at 30,000 feet?" We sat in a row with an old woman, who stared at my brother's hair. Finally. she asked him about it. "A fraternity prank," he told her. I like to tell people that I was so drunk when I got off the flight that I thought there was two of everything in Los Angeles. I also like to claim that I was so drunk I thought there was an earthquake, but it wasn't the ground that was turning and rolling, it was me. Neither of those stori ...

A new song . An uncommonly bleak and maudlin crime tale. I am aware that when you find yourself writing a song called "They Never Found her Head," you should probably stop what you're doing and reconsider. And not simply reconsider the lyrics, or the song itself. I mean you should reconsider what you're doing with your life. You should drag yourself away from the ukulele and over to a nearby mirror and look at yourself, shaken and ashen, wondering how things went so wrong. You should; I don't. I suppose I've always like the grimness of some old country songs, which don't shy away from grotesque details. Some early country is taken straight from news stories of local tragedies, and, back in the middle part of the century, newspapers had no problem publishing lurid photographs coupled with pathetic text, telling tales of small lives and early, violent ends. I have quite a few books of photographs from the era, and they are startling both in their immediacy and their intimacy. We often see the dead photographed shortly after their death, at the place they fell, unflattering and invasive as such an image might be. I guess this is the lyrical version of such a story, and, in keeping with country's longstanding tradition of telling sad tales, I have tried to make it as sad as possible. "THEY NEVER FOUND HER HEAD" LYRICS: They never found her head They never found her head There was only a ring to identify her In the place where she lay dead ...

On the shelf ■ The Tigers placed reliever Todd Jones on the 15-day disabled list with a sore right shoulder Sunday, two days after he came off the DL and gave up five unearned runs. Jones is 4-1 with a 4.97 ERA and 18 saves in 21 chances. On the move ■ The Mets found help for their struggling bullpen, acquiring durable right-hander Luis Ayala from the Nationals on Sunday for a player to be named. A reliable reliever for the first four years of his career, Ayala has dipped to 1-8 with a 5.77 ERA this season. He's appeared in 62 games, which ranks among the major-league leaders. Ayala was the longest-tenured Nationals player, having joined the club in 2003 when it was located in Montreal. ...

A Stadium Astro commercial featuring the Beijing 2008 Olympics is definitely an interesting sight to behold. At first, the robots#039; pieces shift into place a little bit, and start their respective sports like one of those Nike commercials, but after that, things get interesting, which we#039;ll let you watch to find out what happens then.
