Dave Edmunds: Back To School Days [ purchase ] A familiar nostalgia for the black and white worldview of younger days couched in the familiar fifties-style Rock 'n Roll nostalgia of seventies hitmaker and Welsh pub-rocker Dave Edmunds, who we heard earlier this week as lead vocalist and guitarman for Rockpile. Edmunds supposedly returned to touring just last year after a quarter century of semi-retirement. Back to school days, indeed.

I don't care what anyone says, I miss Jay Bennett in Wilco. The albums produced by that band during his tenure remain some of my favorites by any artist and the albums released since his departure just don't ring the...
According to Wiki, trouble is a problem, an obstacle which makes it difficult to achieve a desired goal, objective or purpose. It refers to a situation, condition, or issue that is yet unresolved. In a broad sense, a problem exists when an individual becomes aware of a significant difference between what actually is and what is desired. But sometimes, it's only just a board game, waiting for you to take your turn. 1 : The Replacements - I'm In Trouble Buy [...]

YouTube: Eartha Kitt Witch Mix Yes, it's time for another Halloween music collection. I enjoy these posts because I get a chance to draw upon my memory bank to come up with some tasty selections. Sorry, no Dead Man's Party, Monster Mash or Purple People Eater here. If you're looking for tunes along those lines, there's about one million music blogs that are posting those songs, just check with the Hype Machine or Elbows . Now, on with the festivities. Cars, trucks, and roads are a big part [...]
Dave Edmunds took a few years off between hits. Like, 12 of them. Rockabilly fueled guitar twanger Edmunds hit the Top 5 in 1971 with his cover of "I Hear You Knocking", a song that was as forward thinking as it was retro, with its megaphone vocal effect and grungy production. But it wasn't until 1983 (The Best Year for Music Ever!) that Dave returned to the Top 40, once again looking forward by mixing some New Wave into his Eddy twang. But first, Edmunds did some time [...]
The weird shit that you can find on soundtracks to obscure movies never ceases to amaze me. Most recently I found the soundtrack to Party Party , a forgotten 80s teen flick about (surprise) a party. I can find absolutely no information about it online so if anyone knows anything about it please comment. It certainly had a decent soundtrack though, with some odd ska-tinged covers of classic tunes,and some appearances by some very noteworthy 80s artists that you might not expect. Time for a track-by-track rundown. Elvis Costello - [...]
Oh those mornings after. Here's one for those of you who may have a had a little too much Cinco De Mayo last night. MP3 : Dave Edmunds - What Did I Do Last Night ? [ photo credit ]
A few weeks ago, I posted a couple of rockin' sides by Fats Domino, and was reminded of Smiley Lewis by a cat named Chedwick, over at Tangled Up In L' Heure Bleue , where there's something happening- but I don't know what it is. Sadly, I don't have Smiley's version of Blue Monday, but I do have this to offer, which is in my opinion his best single. Ched, here you go. [...]
Girls Talk yep ain't it the truth... I had to roll with this live version of a Dave Edmunds classic as my lead off track for this post because it reminded me of some local gossip here in the Bay Area. I guess it might even qualify as national dirt because I saw it mentioned on the Fox News scroll, where only things of import are found. It was right in there along with Cartoon Network publicity stunts, and whatever blather Tony Snowjob might be uttering this week about how great Iraq is coming along. [...]
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 [...]
