Christmas, Three Years Ago, I started this blog. Every year of my life has been a blessing on many levels. Not so much on the blog front, but definitely on the personal front. This blog was made to help promote new music and a venting board for myself. It has done both and also been super time consuming. I love it at times and I also want to give it all up five minutes later. But I don't, not yet, tee-hee. This years Christmas Compilation - Culture PopMas 2011, is probably on my favorites from the last three years. As [...]

A longtime musician, producer, songwriter and recently business book author who ascended fame as the musical partner of Annie Lennox in The Eurythmics, David Stewart's versatility is undeniable. On The Blackbird Diaries (Razor On & Tie/Surfdog), Stewart lets his inner country bluesman out to play with some collaborative songwriting courtesy of Bob Dylan. "I Miss You," cowritten with Dylan back in the 80s and originally titled "Worth Waiting For" - Stewart and Dylan have worked together before - is a leisurely, casual wail for a lover to return. I guess they weren't that heartbroken. One line in "I Miss You" [...]

First, a true confession: I don't do drag -- not as a queen, and not as a fan. I know that any self-respecting gay man is supposed to love the campy burlesque and embrace the bawdy humor of drag shows, but as far as I'm concerned, Saturday night fever would be so much hotter without them. For the most part, they just interrupt my flirting fun and bore me as silly as they are. If only the ones I've suffered through in Buenos Aires and, more recently, in Melbourne were half as entertaining as the drag act [...]

Ep.461 - CMA Fest 2011 - Nashville, TN After receiving a big ole fat "declined" email in response to my Bonnaroo media application, I had to think long and hard about shelling out $300 to sweat it out on the farm without the luxuries of the press area. Since CMA Fest is always scheduled for the same weekend, I decided it would be best to stay in town and see what goes down for the Country music fans. After all, it was CMA [...]
In one fell, sweet-voiced swoop, Martina McBride gives voice to the struggles of women in contemporary times. Martina McBride's latest single, her 50th, is a humorous, sweet ode to "Teenage Daughters" and how they drive parents to drink. The song's mothering tone should feel familiar - it's the empathetic attitude she's had towards her characters since the start of her career. When she sings, "oh my God / she's got a car / swears they won't go far tonight / wish I believed them", it's funny, both because of the lack of...
Desde os anos oitenta, Dave Stewart compôs e gravou varias músicas em parceria com Bob Dylan , porém, elas nunca chegaram a ser lançadas. Agora uma dessas faixas, Worth the Waiting For , sairá em The Blackbird Diaries, novo álbum do ex-guitarrista do Eurythmics .

Ainda conclui: "gravamos um monte de coisas em fitas cassete, às vezes na minha igreja, às vezes na minha cozinha". A maioria das canções desse disco [...]

(I can't stop loving you) I've made up my mind To live in memory of the lonesome times (I can't stop wanting you) It's useless to say So I'll just live my life in dreams of yesterday (Dreams of yesterday) Those happy hours that we once knew Tho' long ago, they still make me blue They say that time heals a broken heart But time has stood still since we've been apart Yesterday I posted up a [...]
