Cold Splinters is headed towards the New York/Pennsylvania border this weekend ( not pictured above) for some of that good ol' outdoor recreation. Hope everyone out there has a sublime couple of days off. Stay warm. MP3: Ian Matthews - Do I Still Figure In Your LIfe? MP3: Joe Cocker - Do I Still Figure In Your Life?
Joe writes: Pure onstage charisma and a great singing voice too. I wouldn't be surprised if Paolo Nutini had seen this video.
The uncanny Joe Cocker was captured doing Jim Webb's classic "The Moon Is A Harsh Mistress" in Germany back in 1983. http://www.cocker.com

Few TV shows ever have so accurately observed the condition of the suburban teenager as The Wonder Years did. One may regard the series, which ran for six seasons (from January 1988 to May 1993), as an exercise in nostalgia. Coming into the middle of a revival that celebrated the 1960s and the beginning of the '70s, it benefited from fortuitous timing, but as a story of growing up as told by an adult man, the timeframe made perfect sense. Some may accuse the show of [...]
Contrary to popular belief the Joe Cocker catalogue goes much deeper than a few Beatles covers and You are So Beautiful . JC is a beast, with a ton of great songs. Here's one of my favorites.

There comes a point on any cruise where a pit stop stop is needed, a chance to stretch your legs and feel some movement. Most often in high school this would be either a haunted cemetery these are common in indiana.... ( Stepp Cemetery is probably the best for a road trip), a pond in the middle of nowhere, or my favorite is this abandoned train depot in atterbury ( you drive along the tracks for a half a mile and drive right up onto the platform. Great place to relax and take in an unadulterated view of the [...]

After this weekend, it's smooth sailing through summer and fall. Or so they say, right? Have fun out there. Joe Cocker - Let's Go Get Stoned

Day 7 of Mawazine featured rock & roll legend Joe Cocker, best known for his gritty voice that, during the 602s in particular, took the world by storm. Although the man has definitely aged a few years since then, his passion and spunk remain, and it was impossible to not be swept up in the spirit of the performance. We were thoroughly convinced by the soul behind his sound, as no glimmer of pretense or falsity appeared anywhere in his mannerism. Noteworthy tracks included "Up Where We Belong", "You Are So Beautiful", and "Come Together", which he played just as [...]

Así que hoy celebramos los 70 años de Bob Dylan : uno de los artistas más influyentes en la música popular, pionero en diversos campos, explorador de géneros como el folk, el country y el rock, en fin, un visionario. Por supuesto, un artista de este calibre tiene muchos seguidores en el mundo, incluidos sus propios colegas. Prueba de ello es que él es, tal vez, el cantante más versionado del mundo. Incluso The Beatles (sus más cercanos competidores y en realidad los únicos en esta carrera por los más covereados) han rendido homenaje [...]
