Friday Music on a Monday. The holidays and post-holiday catch up have gotten me off track. I heard this song over the weekend on Sound Opinions. It’s one of those songs that never got very much airplay but pretty much everyone of a certain age and demographic has heard a few times, maybe at...

and draw another breath. Today is the 30th anniversary of the best album ever made, The Clash’s, “London Calling.” You beg to differ? You’re probably older than me. I wasn’t really consuming music when these others were released. Besides, even the Beatles were never called, “The Only Band That Matters.” The “official video” has...

I had never heard Brooklyn-based TV On The Radio until a buddy shot me the link to this video. This is a great song and one of my favorite of the decade, but they just rocked the living crap out of it on Letterman. Even Letterman was blown away. Ya also gotta love the...

I’d loved the beat of the song when it peaked last year from its use in Slumdog Millionare but had never listened to the words...

Friday Music: The Hold Steady

I was going to post another nostalgic look back in the form of the Young Fresh Fellows. But then that would be three 80′s bands in a row and I don’t want to come off as an old fogey who doesn’t listen to anything produced after 1990. Nothing could be further from the truth....

New Feature: Friday Music. John Scalizi reminded me today that I used to like the Psychedelic Furs quite a bit. Which reminded me of the fact that I saw them live around 1987 or so. They were a bit past their sell-by date but musically they were one of the tightest bands I have...
