That's right dammit. Aqualung. But first...a soliloquy. There are 3 stages of music denial. They seem to be fairly linear but not always. Stage 1 : Straight Up Denial. This usually hits in about 8th grade and usually goes away around entrance to college but can last much longer if left unchecked. This stage can be summarized by the following scenario: You buy Michael Jackson's Bad but then find that your friends with older brothers are already touting their love for Zeppelin and Floyd. You scramble to catch up pretending [...]

First off, tip of the hat to public television (and radio) who consistently provide quality non-commercial programming. I make a point to support these, and the most recent reminder of why was randomly catching The Rolling Stones 1968 Rock And Roll Circus on L.A.'s PBS affiliate the other night. I had not seen this [...]
Das war mein Lieblingsbaby vor 24 Jahren. Und heut? Nein, sie spuckt mir nicht auf den Kopf, obwohl das bei meiner körperlichen Grösse keiner besonderen Anstrengung bedarf, nein, sie ist in Anstand gewachsen und gealtert und wir begegnen uns exakt auf Augenhöhe ;-) Heut ist Lieblingsbaby 24 Jahre jung geworden. Einen fetten, virtuellen Burzeltagsknutscher von Deiner Mum, Baby. Schön
...μόλις την είδα από το παράθυρο του δωματίου μου να περνά βιαστικά προς την απέναντι πολυκατοικία Max Richter - Autumn Music 2 Clem Snide - Joan Jett Of Arc Hayden - Steps to Miles Το ξέρω ότι τελείωσε το O.C εχθές και ψάχνετε το τραγούδι του τέλους. Λοιπόν, είναι το Life Is A Song (Patrick Park). Αυτό μου θύμισε ένα από τα αγαπημένα μου τραγούδια των Jethro Tull, το Life Is A Long Song [...]
Ein bemerkenswerter Clip, der es in knapp einem Monat auf 2 Millionen Abrufe bei Youtube gebracht hat. Durchaus zu Recht. Jethro Tull trifft die alten Fat Boys und rocken gemeinsam mit Axel F. Obwohl ich immer noch keine Querflöten mag: Querflötenbeatboxing nach dem Klick. (more...) Beatboxing , Fat Boys , Jethro Tull , musique non stop , Querflöte , video

One of my favorite movies of the past decade is the Ted Demme -directed Beautiful Girls . I fell in love with it the first time I saw it and I think I watched three or four times in a row the first time I rented it on video. The film is about a group of friends who come together for their high school reunion in the small town where they grew up. It boasts an amazing cast, including Timothy Hutton , Matt Dillon , Uma Thurman , Mira Sorvino , Michael Rapaport [...]

There are days when I come up with such a fantastic idea for a post here. I'll sit and I'll think about it and tell people about it and then make some notes and think about it some more and do some research. Unfortunately, the longer I spend thinking about the Fantastic Idea and trying to hammer it all out, the more I start to think that it is in fact, not such a Fantastic Idea after all - or the F.I. is such a meaty bone (as Scott says), that I really need to put [...]
