• The "Sibilance" staff sat in on DAVE GUTTER's new project, with EVAN CASAS, being mastered by ADAM AYAN at Gateway. The record's called The Key to Adore and is more organic and subdued than what you've heard from Gutter before. Watch out for his cover of "The Man Comes Around." Look for the disc by end of summer.
• Here's a history lesson: June 24 marks the 40th anniversary of Portland pop band LOVE, INC.'s first single: "She don't Care About Me/Never Never Land," on Musicor Records. You can hear tracks from drummer MARC MAILHOT's new solo album, Coral Sunset, at www.myspace.com/thechapparals.
• CARLL WILKINSON, who debuted with Pomegranate in 2005, has a new release, The Working Poor Blues, which he's recorded with PETE MORSE in his Busted Barn Studios. Wilkinson does a lot of the work — drums, bass, guitars, pedal steel, piano — but he brings in STEFEN SAMUELS (Eldemur Krimm) and jazz pianist TOM SNOW from time to time, too.
• LADY LAMB THE BEEKEEPER are no longer a duo. Chanteuse ALY SPALTRO will kick off the band's next phase with a solo show (accompanied by a looping station) at One Longfellow Square June 25.

With a name right out of a Nathaniel Hawthorne novel and hand-pressed CD packaging graced with images of antique farming tools, Putnam Smith does nothing to dispel the notion that he wouldn't mind living in 1809 instead of 2009.

I'm a 27-year-old woman who has been happily married for two-and-a-half years. Before I got involved with my husband, I went with a guy we'll call "Joe." We went together for only a short while. It was not what I would consider a "serious" relationship.
- Dr. Lovemonkey: Cross dressing and criss-crossing with exes

- Dr. Lovemonkey: D-bags and dateables
I cannot stand my best friend's husband. Yesterday, he told me that I was the biggest loser in their group of friends because I made the least amount of money. He remarked that his sister is stupid for staying in a marriage with a man dying of cancer. In short, he's a Class A misogynist and treats his wife worse than anyone. He sees all this as being "humorous."

Spouting off during downtime in an interview with jazz drummer/composer Steve Grover, I once put forward my ill-researched idea that the third song is almost universally the best song on a great album.
