Back in your business with another edition of Thrashing Thursdays. This week offers some dirty dubstep remixes of original classics. Everyone went through their greaser phase of listening to nothing but classic rock at all hours of the day. For me it was around grade 7 that I broke into that world of music and never looked back. Here are some remixes of oldies that will give you all kinds of whiplash, The first track featured here is from Colorado based dj, Pretty Lights . Conveniently enough, Derek Smith (the dj [...]
Screamin' Jay Hawkins at The Prophet Bar. (Cynthia Conrow) For all the wrong reasons, legendary zombie blues howler Screamin' Jay Hawkins hated my guts. Our relationship was pretty much doomed from the start. I just couldn't do anything right in his eyes. He and I shared the same birthday, but our commonalities ended right there. The man just lived a very difficult and complicated life. It was up to the rest of us to sort it all out. The following experience was a bizarre exercise in diplomacy. Over [...]

Posted below are the original liner notes, MP3s of (most of) the tracks, and quotes uttered by each manic maestro. Go nuts! [...]

Nathan Nothin' here! Raining outside right now. I'm sipping some Pimm's #1 Cup & tonic on the rocks. I'm feeling righteously mellow. My day started out anything but... Sometime last evening my house phones all went dead. Hassled with AT&T (the new SBC) for about an hour before I could schedule someone to come & take a listen this morning. Ruben shows up just shortly after 8am, he's totally personable & knowledgeable. Gets my phones working in short order. We enjoy a breakfast cup of Ethiopian Harrar & I bid him a fond adieu. Walk into the kitchen, [...]
