To some "progressive rock" expired in the mid to late 70's in the wake of punk rock and thereafter a return to the basic song structure of DIY indie rock, the days of 15min hammond organ'moog synths seemed over, the drum solo was confined to jazz and "rock" was in the "safe" hands of either poodle...

Day Eight. I woke up approximately three hours after snuggling into my temporary futon. Within minutes of waking up, I had cleaned the room and left in time for checkout. I went back to Kita Osaka to pass the next hour in the shower and reclined on a nice leather chair with a computer. Same internet...
Thanks to the power of advertising and in particular the current Vodafone TV Advert the music of Labi Siffre is once again en vogue. His "It Must Be Love" last seen in the public gaze courtesy of a Madness cover is the soundtrack to the afore mentioned Vodafone advert and you can listen to the...
During the course of writing Stella by Starlight, I had a strong desire to contact Herbie Hancock to tell him about my project. I hoped that he would become involved on some level, either with an endorsement or a blessing. I sent a letter to the Monk Institute in Chicago and then to his agent at...
I love the liberry -- as my sister and I call it. The main branch is in my working 'hood (once again reinforcing my passionate affinity with the area).

Drink coffee, read, go to Target." She smiled uncomfortably. I was a little sad cause I realized that I...

This week has been really interesting, to say the least. On Monday it was in the 60s, warm, mild. I got caught in a rainstorm in Harlem (again!) on my way to a guitar lesson. Running through the streets with my guitar, my hair and skirt becoming drenched, it was impossible to hid my glee. How...
I awoke this morning still feeling flat and blah and waddled from my bed straight onto the sofa where I drifted in and out of sleep until my god-daughter rang to say hello. I had a shower and sat sipping my latte and tried to get out of this funk I am currently in. I threw on some Miles Davis and...

Every once in a while John would take the show out of the studio and do it live in front of the Loons. "I like to keep it real close," Brandmeier said of doing these shows, "I like to keep the people in as close to me as we can. So I can run around the audience with that mic." The first Breakfast...

post about E-blog's Shit, Fan, And all that I have been reading his blog a lot lately. He has some interesting ideas, but I don't think a post this long belongs in his blog. I hope I am not committing some kind of hi-jacking sin by posting it here, but I really have a lot to say about the issue....
