http://www.youtube.com/watch?v =PaU9W7TDxkY I ask you this, people of America: what exactly do we know about this so-called Tito the Builder character and why have we never seen him and Tito Santana in the same room? I want answers, Palin, and I want them now. Download: MP3: Santana-"Evil Ways" See Also: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v =-iVaX6SvAI0

Our great friend Jose Luis Mercado from Rock en las Americas wrote a flourishing series about Latin Rock and Latin Alternative Rock. Straight from Peru, he offered an extensive special on the changes and historical movement or Iberoamerica's rock. The last post in the series is a top 20 list that recollects this genre in all its forms; it covers a big bunch of classics, newbies and some unexpected choices. All music videos for the following list are available at his original post here . [...]

Fosse Santana Lopes o Primeiro-Ministro e o lamentável episódio do orçamento de 2009 seria imediatamente qualificado de "trapalhada".
That new Ray LaMontagne album should be fun. I'm hoping the sense of humor he used on "Meg White" will show up more. Between the Buried and Me has a new DVD out. Ben Pike linked me to a trailer last week and it looked pretty sweet. If you like Haste the Day's new vocalist, their new album is worth checking out. He's finally coming into his own. The only thing I know about the new Dillinger Four album is that [...]

Noah Bailey said it quite well in the Night & Day section of this week's paper : "Carlos Santana, for better or worse, is a legend." For better or worse, indeed. And, yes, along those same lines, we have an offer: Two tickets to tonight's Santana gig at Superpages.com Center--VIP parking and entry into the Tuaca Chill Zone (whatever that is) included. Send me an email with ""Oye Como Va" in the header and you'll get into the show, with those perks. And, promise, we won't judge you. [...]
Filed under: Around the World Spinner.com : Diversity? We love it. Most fans of international music dive headlong into the smorgasbord of offerings from all over the world, craving tastes of something from everywhere. But diversity in individual artists? That's another matter. Many said global... Read more
Baseball is such a rich sport for data geeks, what with every move made by a player having a number attached to it. But the inconsistencies and outright mistakes in the sport's long history, from the number of games in a season to the exclusion of the Negro Leagues, make the sport even moregeek-friendly—those missteps become something else to debate, at least when fans aren't mulling the current statistical effects of controlled substances. Mistakes and inconsistencies are two of many things baseball geekery and music-chart geekery have in common. (Lord knows the music business has its substances.) [...]

The geekier music fans among you might want to pick up the current issue of Billboard , which is devoted to the 50th anniversary of the Hot 100 and has put together a ton of commemorative listings. Among them, of course, is the All-Time Hot 100, which—through some tricky data-weighing —placed Chubby Checker's "The Twist" at No. 1. Right behind it is the unofficial song of Mets ace Johan Santana , "Smooth" by the Rob Thomas-assisted Santana; that track was also the No. 1 rock song of the modern era , so now you [...]

Where did the last 17 (or so) years go? I've been sorting out the photo's I took on my recent holiday...adding descriptions, cropping here and there and the odd spot of light enhancement.... And as always I got sidetracked and found myself looking back on some old shots of the kids at various stages through their lives so far. I suddenly realised that the 'kids' are not the little dependant beings they were...they're young adults with strong views and opinions of their own. Able to [...]
Inspired by a propitious confluence of a long discussion about cover versions we didn't know where covers and a generous correspondent whom we'll know as RH e-mailing me a bunch of rare originals of better known covers, we are now at the cusp of what will be a longish series. Any Major Notebook now includes two pages worth of almost 100 shortlisted songs that in their original form are lesser
So once upon a time I was interested in all kinds of mythology and would collect songs and build whole playlists with that mythological thread, and now it's paying off! (A lot of these are instrumentals, actually.) The Appleseed Cast - Poseidon A pretty mellow instrumental track (even though it has about two lines of vocals in there in the middle). It almost sounds like there are waves in the background for a bit in the beginning. Way Out West - Apollo [...]

We're off for our Summer Vacation...and not a moment too soon! I really feel like I need a rest...this is the first break I've had since last year's vacation...2 weeks off in a year. (Note to self: need to sort that!) Still, as my Wife reminds me....she works 52 weeks a year, 365 days, 24/7....Now I know why I didn't put in for that job!!! This will probably be the last holiday we take as a family. The kids are growing up and my daughter [...]
