Stop by Largo on Friday to hear some down home playing by The Wood Brothers. Fun Fact: It’s not an ironic name. Chris and Oliver are actually brothers. Fun Fact 2: Chris is the Wood in the accounting firm Jam band Medeski, Martin & Wood. Fun Fact 3: Chris plays the bass and uses a drumstick […]

I just finished a book by Albert Brooks “2030“. In it, Brooks forecasts robots being able to mimic world class surgeons movements from across the globe to perform surgeries. I guess robots will first be able to play pianos. Yamaha has created a virtual player piano which works like a player piano except the person controlling […]
New Music Tuesday
Two indie darlings release their long-awaited albums today. Those two indie darlings are the Quin twins aka Tegan and Sara. They are now more than a decade into their career and have subtly moved from singer/songwriters to quirky new wave/rock sounds and are now with this new album looking to make a splash in the […]
Fake Coachella 2013
It’s like Christmas, a new Apple release and the Football draft all wrapped into one, as the Coachella lineup is received as a gift to the public, we buy it sight unseen based on our trust in the brand and then everyone starts to analyze the strengths and weaknesses of the artists playing. The festival […]

Two theatre productions are currently playing that feature two of my favorite things, The Beatles and drums. The first is “Backbeat”. You may remember the 1994 film that featured the feisty fab five (John, Paul, George, Stu Sutcliffe & Pete Best) honing their chops circa 1960 in the seedy clubs of Hamburg. It’s now a […]
Songs For Slim
God, what a mess, on the ladder of success Where you take one step and miss the whole first rung Dreams unfulfilled, graduate unskilled It beats pickin’ cotton and waitin’ to be forgotten If that lyric sounds familiar and yet, you are the complete opposite of the character in this song then you might be […]
New Music Tuesday
Reinvention for an artist is never easy and hard to accept for fans (witness Garth Brooks trying pop music as Chris Gaines or Spinal Tap exploring its Jazz side) but three artists with albums coming out this week are giving it a go. Singer Jose James has mixed in Jazz and hip hop with standards […]

Leave it to Thom Yorke to tease us with new, old and forgotten remixes before his upcoming album from Atoms For Peace is released at the end of February. Here’s a set of music and sounds assembled by Thom Yorke and producer Nigel Godrich with new Atoms For Peace, old Radiohead and forgotten gems. Here’s […]
