Goodnight Irene | I went to Ohio for my cousin Zack's wedding. At the rehearsal dinner we all got a little, um, toasted. The older generation of Zaza siblings--my parents and uncles & aunts--loopily treated us to a somewhat slurred rendition of "Goodnight, Irene." Enjoy! | Download.

Stereo Wizard | Here's a new song called Stereo Wizard from my friend Chris's band, Mt. Cyanide. I love the guitar riff and the moaning background vocals. Chris Conti The Whip™ has always been a rock star, it's just that the world is only now starting to get a clue. (Readers in Columbus should watch for upcoming local gigs.) | Download.

The Absence of God | Sorry, Prince. If I Was Your Girlfriend lasted for a long long long time as my favorite song by any artist ever. Now it's Jenny's turn. | Download.

Unsure About Gay Marriage? | I like to rant quite loudly about the gay marriage issue, but I do realize that some well-meaning people, especially those who are religious or socially conservative, have real questions and concerns about what establishing gay marriage would really mean to our society. Human Rights Campaign has put out this fantastic brochure that addresses questions by fair-minded people who have not made up their minds about this issue (it's a small PDF file). And for those of you who are already on board with it, the brochure will give you some serious ammo and important facts that you can use when arguing with close-minded opponents. | Download.
