Chickenfoot. When word of the band name of Sammy Hagar’s new “supergroup” leaked out, half the internet responded by saying “that’s the dumbest band name I’ve ever heard…..and just when I thought Sammy couldn’t get any cornier!” The other half of the internet said “you know what? That band name is pretty funny.” The official […]

CD Review: Triumph, “Greatest Hits Remixed”
Back in the ’80s, I don’t think I could have given you the name of five songs by Triumph, and perhaps, not even one song by the Canadian rock trio that didn’t have the name “Rush” on their albums. In spite of my ignorance, Triumph apparently did just fine, and had themselves quite a career, […]

The new Crowded House album has a name (Intriguer) and an officially confirmed release date of July 13th via Fantasy/Concord.

Good Listening: Barenaked Ladies in Toronto, April ’93
A kind soul on Dimeadozen who goes by the moniker of “fuzzpsych” presently is in the process of digitizing his massive cassette collection of live and rare recordings, recorded in the Toronto area during the 80’s and 90’s. It seems that his wife gave him a gentle nudge and suggested that the space currently being […]
Howard Jones in the U.S. + new album finally coming out here too!
Thanks to KulPop for the link and heads up regarding some North American tour dates from Howard Jones that are in the works for later this year. One can imagine that they will probably be acoustic dates, but if they ended up to be full album performances of Human’s Lib and Dream Into Action (similar […]
More Owsley.
I’d like to share a few additional bits of information that I came across regarding Will Owsley since my initial post yesterday. I forgot that he was “Grammy-nominated” Will Owsley, nominated for a Grammy for his engineering work on the Owsley album. A fund has been set up for donations in Will’s memory – here […]
R.I.P. Will Owsley
When the emails started coming in last night, I couldn’t believe it. The word was starting to get around that Nashville-based musician Will Owsley (probably best known to most as Amy Grant’s guitar player) had taken his own life, leaving behind a family including two kids. Grant released a short statement earlier today: “We are […]
