Hi Sars,
I have a song question for you and the readers. I'm in Baltimore and spend most of my radio time listening to WTMD, which is a local university's radio station. They play a lot of unsigned/not-yet-famous Baltimore musicians, as well as a lot of other emerging artists, and well-established artists, but no Top 40 music.
I heard a lovely song on my way to work last fall(?), which I haven't heard replayed. It was a bluesy song with a female vocalist who had a really enchanting smoky voice, and the line I tried to remember to look the song up was "she don't love you, she don't even love herself," which I think was part of the chorus. I don't remember any other specific lines.

Hi Sars,
I used to have this cassette tape that I listened to a bunch, probably in the early '90s. It was a story read by a man (I think), that was probably an audio adaptation …

Dear Sars,
I've been reading Tomato Nation longer than any other site I can think of, and I'm hoping you and the hivemind can help me with what promises to be an ugly family drama no …

Oh Wise Nation,
After spending two days of my honeymoon with hives, and another day half asleep from Benadryl, I need help.
