More information on that new album from Randy Newman
I wrote briefly about the pending new release from Randy Newman, and now thanks to Tampa Bay pop music writer Sean Daly, I’ve got a few more details to share with you about the album. The album, called Harps and Angels, is in stores on August 5th. Sean writes: NPR’s All Songs Considered is raving […]
Bruce Springsteen brings lots of old magic to Antwerp
If you’re a Springsteen fan like me (and I know you are, because you’re reading this,) you’ve likely been salivating, reading the setlists from Backstreets over the past week. My Springsteen buddy Tony emailed me with a message that said simply “the sooner you click this link, the better you will feel.” I knew he […]
Song of the Moment – Pearl Jam – Love Boat Captain
We’re gonna take our time tonight…. I’m watching the Pearl Jam “official bootleg” DVD Live At The Showbox , a DVD as you can probably guess of their show from the Showbox in Seattle, captured on December 6th, 2002. The gig starts off in a mellow place….”Small Town,” “Off He Goes,” and “Thumbing My Way”….how […]
Good Listening: Death Cab for Cutie – Morning Becomes Eclectic
I was in the midst of enjoying an evening with Tom Petty at Blossom Music Center on Sunday night with my friends Ryan and Julie. I had seats in the pavilion, but was sitting on the lawn with them, and as Petty pulled out a mix of album tracks and proven hits, we conversed about […]
Close Captioned Cocker (Joe, that is)
One of the funniest moments ever in my life, came courtesy of the infamous “performance” featuring Joe Cocker and John Belushi on Saturday Night Live. Cocker continues to be an (at times) unintentional source of humor, as evidenced by this video from Youtube, which makes brilliant use of performance footage from Woodstock: Joe Cocker – […]
New Order premiere new DVD exclusively on Imeem.com
I’ve had a number of Imeem-related posts in mind, since my initial post about Imeem a few weeks ago. Today, Gina @ Imeem got in touch via email – she had picked up on my Imeem posts, and also figured out that I was a New Order fan. Gina wrote to let me know that […]
George Carlin
I was shocked, as I think many people were, to wake up to the news today that George Carlin had passed. I wasn’t a monster Carlin fan, but I had a huge amount of respect for his career and the things that he had accomplished. Carlin was one of the greats, much like Richard Pryor, […]
T-Ride, I forgot all about you!
Thanks to my retro 80s loving pal Corey, I thought of T-Ride today. You haven’t heard of T-Ride…..what? Wikipedia describes T-Ride as being noted for its wildly complex instrument and vocal arrangements. That’s funny, because I wasn’t aware that ANYONE besides Corey, myself, and perhaps maybe the people that saw them opening for Joe Satriani […]
Some good Bruce Springsteen humor
I caught this bit of Springsteen humor via John Soeder’s Pop Music blog. The video below is another gem from Will Ferrell’s Funny or Die website. Comedian Pete Hulne could be a really big Springsteen fan, and if that’s not the case, he’s certainly studied his share of Springsteen videos, etc. to nail the subtle […]
