New Music Friday: Thundercat
Based on two songs I’m all in for the new album by Thundercat. The album is called Drunk. These two songs are the soon to be Yacht Rock Classic “Show You The Way” featuring Michael McDonald and Kenny Loggins. The other song is the soon to be Anti-Valentine song “Friend Zone”. Favorite lyrics: “I’m […]
Localchella is coming
It’s being called Goldenvoice presents April but it’s always been known as Localchella. Bands that are locked in for two weekends at Coachella venture out and play local venues. It’s a great way to actually see bands in an actual club with an appreciative audience. Go figure. Tickets start to go on sales this weekend […]

2 For 2uesday: Oscar edition
I love awkward performances and these two performances on the Oscar show have stayed with me because they were so out of the ordinary. This first one is endearingly awkward as Elliott Smith comes out of the indie underground to play to a mainstream audience. The song is Miss Misery and it comes from the […]
Kurt Cobain would have been 50 today
I’m sure there will be many thought pieces on what should have been Kurt’s 50th Birthday. We can all speculate on what might have been. Nirvana might have recorded a 3rd album before breaking up. Kurt would probably be divorced. Kurt would probably have gotten into a Twitter war with Kanye. Here’s what we do […]
New Music Friday: Ryan Adams
Let’s call this new album from Ryan Adams the Post-Valentine’s Day record. What can you say about Ryan Adams? He is pretty consistent with his album output. Prisoner is his 16th in 18 years as a solo artist. Prisoner is his breakup album. His 6 year marriage to Mandy Moore officially ended last year so one […]
Happy Birthday Matt Groening
Matt has created the longest running TV series ever (in case you’re not paying attention, it’s The Simpsons) and yet I still don’t know how to correctly say his last name….I’m pretty sure it’s Gray-ning. Since, this is a music blo,g I present to you my 5 favorite musician cameos from the show. Linda Ronstadt […]

2 For 2uesday: Valentine’s Day version
Since the Prince camp has released most of his music for streaming I wanted to post a couple of songs for this special day. I think most of his love songs refer to a Higher Being but there are a few that are unmistakably meant for getting down. Here are two of my favorites. From […]
Streaming Prince
The floodgates have opened and Prince music is now available on ALL streaming services. Bruno Mars did a fine job doing his version of Let’s Go Crazy. The Time were fun recreating their moves from Purple Rain on last night’s Grammys. However, it just made me miss Prince all that much more knowing that […]
