Thanks to our pals at Slicing Up Eyeballs for alerting us to Bryan Ferry’s Thursday night performance on the Letterman show. I wondered if he might have performed my favorite track from Olympia and indeed he did. “You Can Dance” was neck and neck with Duran Duran’s “All You Need Is Now” on my list […]

Random Youtube: Red House Painters – All Mixed Up
I can’t believe that I’d never heard this version of “All Mixed Up” before today. Of course, as a cover song junkie, there are so many cover songs and so little time to hear them all (thank goodness for outlets like Cover Me and Coverville to help sort and feed the addiction!). This is a […]
Joey’s Song, in depth.
Hey Tuesday, What’s been going on? It was a busy one, huh? Thanks to a productive weekend, I was able to get a few interviews that I’ve been sitting on transcribed and that much closer to being out into the real world. …..yay for productivity! One of them is actually my most recent conversation from […]

Gary Moore
It was sad to read of Gary Moore’s unexpected passing this weekend. I’ve been getting into Gary’s music in recent years via the extensive amount of material that has been issued by Eagle Rock, particularly this 5 CD collection that brings together Gary’s various performances at Montreux through the years (there’s also a nice DVD […]
Random Youtube: Duran Duran – All You Need Is Now
All You Need Is Now is seriously the great Duran Duran album that a lot of Duran fans probably never thought they’d hear again, but they’ve certainly done right with their latest album, produced by Mark Ronson. The album has been available as an Itunes exclusive since late last year and will drop in CD […]

Things To Look Forward To: Ron Sexsmith – Long Player, Late Bloomer
My knowledge of the music of Ron Sexsmith is mainly limited to the short set that I saw him play a few years ago at the Beachland as part of Blue Rodeo’s tour with “Friends.” He’s always been on my ever-growing list of artists to become familiar with and after hearing his new album Long […]
Bruce and Bela
So what’s Bruce Hornsby up to right now, anyway? And better yet, what are his plans for this summer? In a recent radio interview, Hornsby covered both subjects, talking about his current (and long-awaited) debut musical SCKBSTD and also his touring plans for the summer. The first 45 minutes of the interview will net you […]
