I love songs that snatch me from the first note, and then rip into the splendor that is a great rock song. I am talking about the songs that grab me by the throat and never let go, until the…Continue

Eugene Edwards - "My Favorite Revolution"
"If you love "pop" music, then this disk is essential. That is a big word. But it is. "
Anna Borg replied to Stan Schwieger's discussion Bands that I should love. But I don't."This is an easy one for me. Jellyfish.
I have tried. I have seen them in concert. I have owned their albums (even the discs from the box set.) There is a perfection to their music that rubs me the wrong way.
Another one that shocks most people is…"

AM Radio Hits
To the great run of AM "hit" radio! Before FM "underground" stations, AM was it. Some songs just bring back that memory of trying to tune in that distant station, or jamming the static filled noise to 11. Name those songs, jocks, stations, etc.

Keef and Tom Waits duet the old standard Shenandoah here:
As one of my friends described it...."the feral voices of centuries of cigarette and booze destruction. A mighty force indeed."
Despite my warnings below, I listened. (As Hunter Thompson used to say, "After all, I am a Professional.") It reminded me of this movie exchange:

Labour of Lust to be rereleased!
Posted on February 26, 2011 at 7:16am 2 Comments 2 Likes
I know there are tons of Nick Lowe fans here in the Tribe who will welcome the rerelease of that great album. YepRoc featured Mr. Lowe and a lengthy interview about all the alcohol induced recordings that make up one of Mr. Lowe's classics--"Lowe sets the record straight on a few of our long-burning questions about the album. 'I can't remember having a plan at all, but it was terrific fun,' he says." See it all here:

Anna Borg's blog post was featuredI totally met Michael Nesmith and I didn't pass out
So Mike Nesmith. Yeah. WTF, right? Private, reclusive, mysterious for many years. A couple of years back, he got on Facebook and he posts long, winding tales about himself, his dogs, his home, his past, and a really lovely Mother's Day post last weekend. Photos go up. The whole thing. It's like he disappeared and then came back on his own terms. I didn't know how to take it. I'm a huge Monkees fan, no doubt. And, being a woman/girl of a certain age, I have a favorite and that favorite is Mike.…See More
