BUSINESSWEEK GETS COOL IN '07
(L-R, Thom Monahan, Joe Pernice, Patrick Berkery, Peyton Pinkerton)
In the January 22, '07 issue of BusinessWeek Magazine, the ExecutiveLife "My Tunes" column is written by Mike Marrone, the program director for XM Satellite Radio's channel The Loft. His piece is titled "The One Album I Can't Stop Playing" and it certainly constitutes high praise.
"Although I am often asked what my real personal favorites are, I rarely make lists because I'm always afraid of leaving something off. But I can safely attest that
Live a Little (Ashmont), the sixth full-length release from the Pernice Brothers, is not only my absolute favorite album of 2006 but will unquestionably reside on my list of Best Pop Albums of all time."
Marrone gushes on in that vein for the pages three columns. That is the Pernice Brothers pictured above. The drummer Pat Berkery (second from right) played with my brother Ed for many years as a member of The Bigger Lovers. I'm embarrassed to say that I don't have The Pernice Brothers' latest album, but it's now on my list of things to pick up.
The "My Tunes" column is currently only available online to BusinessWeek subscribers, but the issue is still on newsstands if one wanted to pick up a copy or just peruse page 84. Also, visit the band's site. There's a lot of great audio and video content that's worth checking out.
(Tip of the pixel to reader M.M. for correcting us on the identity of band member Thom Monahan pictured above.)
