            <description><![CDATA[About 4 or 5 years ago my friend Ian suggested that I go for a white background on my website.  All that time I've been wishing for a mellower website, something simple and concise, that wasn't trying to look cool and, yes, had a white background.  Well, today, that day has come.<br /><br />: )]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[Mike and Ruthy,<br />"The Honeymoon Agenda,"<br /><a href="http://www.mikeandruthy.com">www.mikeandruthy.com</a><br /><br />Ever wish that Simon and Garfunkel were still out playing? Or that Art Garfunkel was replaced by Fiona Apple? Well, rejoice because Mike and Ruthy have arrived.<br /><br />Their album "The Honeymoon Agenda," is full of covers &#8212; Lou Reed, Tom Waits, and Bob Dylan all have their works featured.<br /><br />But the best songs on the album are the ones written by Mike and Ruthy Merenda. Is there a higher compliment than to have your own works trump those by such legendary artists?<br /><br />The first song on the album, "All the Time," is perhaps the best song of them all.<br /><br />- Ben Bulkeley]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[Mike Merenda of the NYC folk-rock band the Mammals was joined by his new wife, Mammals fiddler Ruth Ungar Merenda; he also had a kick drum to accompany him. Although Mike was in theory there to support his new solo album, Quiver (Humble Abode), the duo focused on tracks from an album they&#8217;d recorded just the week before called The Honeymoon Agenda. Merenda&#8217;s solo efforts are often politically charged, but in this set, romance trumped politics. He opened with &#8220;The Diamond Ring Rag,&#8221; a song written to see whether Ruth could play certain fingerings on her fiddle wearing said ring. The two traded vocal duties in a cover-laden set that included songs by Feist, Bob Dylan, Aaron Ross, Tom Waits, and Etta James as well as a striking version of the Velvets&#8217; &#8220;I&#8217;ll Be Your Mirror.&#8221; Merenda closed with Dylan&#8217;s &#8220;Desolation Row,&#8221; nailing every verse in the epic tune, and the duo encored with &#8220;Haircut Money&#8221; from the first Mammals disc &#8212; a fitting end to a night that began with a discussion of salon etiquette.<br />-Jeff Breeze]]></description>
