Yes it's been far, far too long - I could try and make excuses, but 6 weeks is too long for that and it has as much to do with my winter laziness as some essay deadlines and one long drunk bender... Anyway, last year I made my first mix for the Blue Walrus as a Christmas mix of my favourite well-known festive songs to get through the season. This year I have done something a little different by putting together a two disc set of Christmas tunes ranging from jazz-style classics to some 60s fun to some [...]

Fichtre, en quelques années de concerts et des dizaines et des dizaines de billets de spectacles achetés, celui-là fut le plus lourd à avaler au moment de cliquer sur le bouton acheter. 63,50 € sur le parterre (ce n'était pas une place de deuxième choix) pile poil en face pour ce qui restera l'un des meilleurs concerts de mon apprentissage de la mélomanie. Pour commencer, une première partie fit irruption alors que personne ne s'y attendait, Monique Rhodes est néo-zélandaise et fit plaisir à toute la salle avec sa subtilité et sa qualité vocale. [...]

Alright. Welcome back, it's officially fall and you have "Autumnal" now to help soundtrack this wonderful season. I see the download numbers at SaveFile are quite plentiful, so I hope you're all enjoying it. Apologies for a lack of a post yesterday -- exceedingly busy and so forth, but it's a new day and September's almost done and I still have one monthly series to wrap up yet! It's time again for the Fantastic 45's, and this month we look at one of rock and roll's true originators, Chuck Berry. Berry's popularity [...]
For a brief period at the height of hippiedom, "never trust anyone over 30" was one of the favorite aphorisms of young Americans. To be sure, it constituted one of the more detailed pronouncements of a generation that pioneered theretofore uncharted usages of "like," "I mean," and "you know," and tended to gravitate to catch-phrases like "out of sight" and "too much" and "far out" rather than outright sentences. An obvious exception is Timothy Leary's "tune in, turn on and drop out," but no one ever took credit for "never trust anyone over 30." Probably because he or she turned [...]
Most of these posts here at the flu are composed in the middle of the night. I've always been nocturnal, and those who know me know I don't sleep much. I get some of my best work done in the middle of the night. Here's a group of songs that reference the witching hour. It's late now. I'm going to bed. [...]

Say what you will about Chuck Berry, but he is Chuck Berry : the single most important figure in the development of what we call Rock 'n Roll , and its first guitar playing singer-songwriter. Chuck Berry is a national treasure, and vastly under-appreciated in his and my hometown, St. Louis. You are more than likely to hear someone discuss his run-ins with the law than his genius songwriting. Sure, Chuck is difficult. Anyone who has seen Hail, Hail, Rock 'N Roll will remember his bitchfight with Keith Richards. Chuck does a regular monthly [...]
