Ask anyone who knows me and they'll tell you I have an amazing memory. I usually pay close attention to detail and can tell a story exactly the way it happened. Ask me the date I started this website and I'll shrug my shoulders and reply,"November of 20063?! It really doesn't matter, does it? I just know we're a year older than we were last year at this time. True. We decided to give the site a fresh look as we move forward into our second year...what do you think?! Tres chic, yes?!! I'm still wondering what the [...]
One day I was at my barber shop getting a haircut. We were talking about bowling. You see every weekend me and the Mrs. go down to Dublin to bowl with our friends at the lanes of bowling legend Earl Anthony . Anyway, I told him how the wife is always getting on my case about how I don't get enough exercise. He said, "What are you talking about? You tell her that bowling IS exercise!" And he is right. I [...]
L ate yesterday evening I got a phone call from my former Allister bandmate Scottie (currently of The Get Go ) and we were discussing our plans for band practice tomorrow afternoon during which Scottie mentioned something about the practice space being near where Santa's Village was in a rented storage unit that Allister used to practice in. Huh? He didn't have an address or know anything other than "It is right next to Santa's Village in Dundee." Brilliant and typical. So typical of the old Allister days. Now I actually have to [...]

I'm going to come right out and say it and consequences be damned. Roger Clyne & The Peacemakers remind me of an updated version of a cross between Neil Diamond and Jimmy Buffet . There, I said it. Strike this blog from your list of blogs to visit while killing time at work if you will. Now that I've got that out in the open, I'll continue in my confessional manner. Growing up, my favorite musician was Neil Diamond. That's right. Going through my father's record collection, [...]

Neil Diamond: Prologue [1973] Neil Diamond: Be [1973] Here are the opening and closing tracks to the soundtrack for Jonathan Livingston Seagull , which was composed by Neil Diamond and won the award for "Album of Best Original Score Written for a Motion Picture or a Television Special" at the 1974 Grammy Awards. According to Wikipedia the soundtrack grossed more than the film itself. I am reminded of two things when I when I hear Jonathan Livingston Seagull : my mom taking me when I was a [...]
Neil Diamond "Sweet Caroline" (Live) Mark Holder "Sweet Caroline" Wham! "Careless Whisper" Ben Folds & Rufus Wainwright "Careless Whisper" (Live) Last weekend I managed to rock the karaoke mic two nights running. At a Friday night party, friends had set up their computer as a karaoke system, and I got to warm up for an already planned, full-on Saturday night session at a box karaoke joint in the basement of a Koreatown mall. It was [...]
This is a public service announcement from Candy Hotpants. After seeing the bajillionth artice linked on Largehearted Boy today in which The Hold Steady 's Craig Finn had to talk about the whole Springsteen thing for like, what's probably the bajllionth time (seriously, we feel for him, that's gotta be really annoying), I was inspired to be of assistance. In order to combat the remnants of this effect in any other interviews Mr. Finn may need to conduct on the rest of the band's press junket, here's a handy guide for all you clueless and unoriginal [...]
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 [...]

[video] Mp3 Soundtrack: Neil Diamond : America Grateful Dead : Liberty Last day of vacation. I really like taking my days off of work on the opposite schedule of the masses. There's something about doing laundry on the days that everybody else is working that is very gratifying to me. So instead of taking a long week-end, I took a long week. Tuesday-Friday. I went to see some friends out in the Boston area. [...]

Play it: A Jacques Brel Sampler Play it: Jacques Brel Covers With blogger tools back up today, I can finally deliver on my promise for some Jacque Brel love. Rhapsody only has a second rate greatest hits collection , but a few songs from the collection can illustrate Brel's magic. Brel is widely considered the greatest French-speaking songwriter of his era, and is one of Belgiums' greatest exports in [...]
Neil Diamond has managed to get himself caught up in some sort of neighbourhood spat, and is suing the widow next door . Diamond says " he undertook extensive renovations of the apartment and roof "to create a serene environment" for himself." This is a roof on a New York city centre building, by the way, so the depth of serenity he could achieve is debatable. Any chances of being able to nip up through the skylight and think pure thoughts, though, were wrecked when the widow Marianne Nestor extended her [...]
