THE DOGS: A FREIGHT TRAIN COMING THROUGH THE CENTER OF MY BRAIN
Luke McGarry
Sadly, rock veterans MC5 are suffering from the problems that come with old age, and have pulled out of their July 18th show at The Button Factory due to "health problems". At least they gave a reason unlike those confounded Sugababes (Babe my eye) who were due to support Boyzone a few weeks back. MC5 has also cancelled their Belfast date (the following night) as well as other shows on their European Tour. No rescheduled date has been confirmed.
Before I take the family over to mom and dad's for a BBQ, here's a 4th of July mix: Mickey Newbury – An American Trilogy (mp3) ( buy album ) Albert Brooks – Phone Call To Americans (mp3) (out of print) Merle Haggard – The Fightin' Side Of Me (mp3) ( buy album ) X – 4th Of July (Demo) (mp3) ( buy album ) MC5 – Back In The USA (mp3) ( buy album [...]

On their self-titled debut full-length [ buy ], Vancouver, Canada's The Green Hour Band blends all the best elements of psychedelia ( The Yardbirds , Syd Barrett-era Pink Floyd ), proto-punk ( The Stooges , The Velvet Underground ) and good old fashioned garage rock ( Captain Beefheart , MC5 ) into some of the best hyper-retro 60's revival that I've heard in a long while.

Just managed to catch a terrific show on the always-excellent BBC4, entitled Motor City's Burning . Unfortunately, it's now disappeared from the BBC's iPlayer (which is where I saw it after downloading it a couple of weeks ago), but these things usually get repeated ad infinitum, so keep an eye on the schedules and there's a good chance it'll turn up again. Tracing the history of Detroit's music over that fertile period from the early-1960s to the early-70s (i.e. from the inception of Motown to the last throes of Iggy and the [...]

Though it came and went in the blink of an eye, of all the musical movements, punk tends to live on in the imaginations of people. Just look at the number of documentaries, books, academic studies, magazine cover stories, compilation albums, and fashion aesthetics that still draw on punk. Whether it really was as revolutionary as it seemed, punk has definitely become iconic and continues to influence new bands with its sneering nihilism and DIY-learn-three-chords-and-for m-a-band approach. My personal connection to punk is one that actually started relatively later in life than for most. I was about [...]

fun for the whole family! T he very first official bout for the Tornado Alley Roller Girls was last night in Edmond. While the drive there and back is a killer, the fun had once there is incredible. This thing is getting harder to watch since I have friends on each team. I just don't know who to root for anymore. Perhaps that is why I [...]

I'm going to go out on a limb today and do something that could possibly a mistake. (Let me rephrase that: I know it's going to be a mistake.) Between Kevin's and Laura's and Mike's notes on the subject of blogging, I've been in a meta state of mind about what it is exactly I'm doing here. This whole operation has been an extended experiment in seat-of-my-pants flying from the get-go, with nothing really ever being planned past the frontiers of whatever whim or metaphorical shiny object that has [...]
