If you're a listener to the Word Magazine's podcast you'll have heard an excellent recent episode featuring Nick Lowe . One of the highlights was Nick recalling his former Rockpile bandmate Dave Edmunds' animosity towards Keith Richards when the Stones' axeman joined them on stage in New York in 1978 . This reminded me that I have a solitary track in my collection featuring Dave Edmunds and it's an absolute corker. MP3: Carlene Carter w/ Dave Edmunds - Baby Ride Easy [...]
There've been a number of commercials for a series called V . It's a remake – I guess the kids call it a reimagining these days - of a series from the '80s. I never watched the original, but a friend at the time was a devotee, so I knew that the premise of V involved visitors from space arriving on Earth and the hijinks which ensued. And while the friend came to mind when I saw the commercial for the new version the other night, I was more struck by the [...]
And so we reach a new decade, the third decade in which Loss Leaders samplers appeared, and a radically changed landscape from the old hippie daze. To get your hands on Eclipse , the first two-LP sampler from 1980, you had to pay three dollars now, only a buck more but a 50 percent increase from 1979 prices. The liner notes had the air of a valedictory: " Eclipse is the first Warner Bros. sampler of a new decade and commemorates the occasion by presenting vital works by several artists whose careers span the lifetime of [...]
It's an understatement to say Carlene Carter comes from a musical family. She's the daughter of June Carter Cash and Carl Smith, the step-daughter of Johnny Cash, the granddaughter of Maybelle Carter, and the ex-wife of Nick Lowe. Here she is singing an old Carter Family tune, which she modernized for her 1980 album, Musical Shapes . (I only wish she'd kept the yodeling.) The Carter Family version is included for comparison purposes. Carlene Carter – Foggy Mountain Top ( buy ) The Carter [...]
I respect people in the public eye who allow themselves to age gracefully rather than buying themselves a facial overhaul every other birthday. Which is to say I have more respect for Carlene Carter than I do for, say, Cher . Having said that, there's nothing wrong with genuflecting a moment for the beautiful sight that was the young Carlene: Putting aside the more prosaic aspects of my affection, Little Acts of Treason is one that's gotten a lot of play since it was put out almost [...]

What’s the Christian right’s position on the spaying and neutering of pets and other animals? They’re totally against it, right? Just asking. Speaking of the God Squad, several great Marcy Tigner albums are available here (though not her magnum opus, Marcy Sings to $1.98 Children ) courtesy the wonderful blog The Groove Grotto . Elbows up to Ted Thompson for cutting the cord on Sherman’s Folly, B.J. Sander. My spider sense has been tingling that we may be in for a real massacre when the rosters [...]
