Weekend In LA
It’s time again for Carmageddon! Stay indoors and watch Fast Times At Ridgemont High Or Pretty In Pink or watch a brilliant documentary “I Am Trying to Break Your Heart” or better yet, head on out to the east side at The Hollywood Bowl and see The Go-Go’s and Psychedelic Furs along with The Motels and […]
Singles is 20
Last weekend the family sat down to watch “Singles” and coincidently it turned out to be exactly twenty years to the month of when this movie was released. The movie holds up fairly well but what is still shocking to me is how Cameron captured this lightning in a bottle moment in time when the […]

New Music Tuesday
First Tuesday of Fall means the superstar artists are starting to unleash their superstar products on the public. Yes, I’m going to say it’s starting to feel like Christmas. I say that because Kenny Rogers, Jeremy Camp, The Oak Ridge Boys, Ella Fitzgerald, Peggy Lee and Now That’s What I Call Today’s Christmas! are all […]
Waging Heavy Peace
Our Classic Rock Stars are talking. Or rather they’re sitting at the old Smith-Corona (that’s just the way I imagine it) and typing out their life stories like Keith Richard’s “Life” or random bits and pieces of their history as was the case with Bob Dylan’s Chronicles or retelling the fascinating start of a career […]

Weekend In LA
Good news. Music icons are coming to LA this weekend. Bad news. Both shows are on Saturday. Good news. Either show you go to will be a winner. This Saturday night legendary slide guitar player Bonnie Raitt plays at The Greek Theatre (I hear she was a pretty good voice too). Legendary gospel singer […]

Paul Simon
You may remember that Paul Simon released a pretty good album last year “So Beautiful Or So What“. It ended up selling about 250,00 copies in the US. A decent number but in 2012 Paul is digging into the vaults. This is the 25th anniversary of “Graceland”. To call it a landmark album […]

New Music Tuesday
Band of Horses have a wonderful new album filled with harmonies and hooks straight from a 70s-era Elton John album. Here’s a performance they did for Late Show with David Letterman. On the opposite coast, we have Brooklyn-based band Grizzly Bear adding to their take on the Laurel Canyon sound with music that stops and […]
Mercury Prize
The Mercury Prize nominees for the best album in the United Kingdom and Ireland were announced last week. Nominations are chosen by a panel of musicians, music executives, journalists and other figures in the music industry and it’s a nice way to bring attention to music that is worth your attention. Last year’s winner was […]
