We have done this post a few times but with cold, chilly weather gripping most of the country it seems like staying home and makin' a big pot o' chili is a good idea. And with football season in full swing, it is especially timely. The classic recipe, supplied by the good folks who brew Texas' Lone Star Beer, is available above (click the picture for a larger version). It's pretty simple, but here is another recipe from the Austin newspaper that is a multi-meat extravaganza. Just for fun (and, depending where [...]
The soundtrack to Saturday Night Fever was the first vinyl album I remember owning, a Christmas gift in 1977. I had little interest in music at the time, but I imagine that lots of folks received that album, that Christmas season, from people who knew them well enough to feel compelled to give a gift, yet not well enough to not what the recipient might truly want. I received my copy from from an aunt. (she wasn't some cool, hip, younger aunt, but, rather, an older widow who swore like [...]
We review William Shatner's Space-themed Covers Album 'Seeking Major Tom'
Now here comes the easiest five minutes of my week. I get to look through my iTunes library for "classic" songs to share with you for Throwback Thursdays. Unlike last weeks " Gifted Singer-Songerwriters " post, my selections today have very little in common aside from their place in music history. That being said, i'm not going to bore you with biographical band information or what each song means to me. Instead, I'll let the Queen , Steve Miller Band , The Guess Who [...]
Since Mastodon's new album The Hunter came out earlier this week it seems like a good time to share two very interesting tidbits regarding the album. First up we've got a "remix" of "Curl of the Burl." Umm... yeah, let's call it a remix! I can't say where I obtained this very special track for [...]

When he said he was going on vacation we did not think it was going to be for three whole months. We should have guessed that a man that knows his chill tracks would knows how to chill.......for three months. Now he is back and what a come back, these tracks are one superb chill [...] Mr B's Sunday Chill Session – XXI is a post from: FAT BERRI'S | Electronic Music Blog
It seems that all over the college sports landscape nowadays, all we hear about are conference realignments, TV deals, advertising packages, and student athlete sponsor scandals. Somewhere along the lines, the good old fashioned spirit of the game got lost in the shuffle and with that came the sad realization that these young athletes are mere pawns in a much wider international game of economics. Regardless of what side of Lee County you set your allegiance or which color lucky underwear you wear on game day, let's all remind ourselves about what the whole 'Hullabaloo' is about in the first [...]
As far back as I can remember, skate videos have been one of the prime sources for musical exploration among our generation. Many still sit around talking about how badass it was to hear certain songs paired up with certain skater's parts. Throughout the years, hundreds of teams have compiled footage and edited to amazing and at times even inspirational soundtracks. What they inspired us to do is not the point, but rather what the music inspired the skaters in the videos to do. Most of the time, skaters were known to handpick their own songs, and the ones they [...]

Eigenlijk weet ik het nog als de dag van gisteren dat ik in 1983 cassettes opnam van het Duitse Loreley dat door het legendarische Duitse Rockpalast werd uitgezonden. De band die op dat festival de meeste indruk op mij maakte...
In the dim early part of the last century, a bluesman named Robert Johnson claimed he sold his soul to the devil, as if to explain his otherworldly skills in writing, singing and playing the blues. If that really happened, right now Robert Johnson is burning in hell while we're still talking and writing about him, and listening to his music. It means that Robert Johnson beat the devil. Sunday will mark the 100th birthday of this mysterious figure. In this age of instant tweets and non-stop media, it's almost impossible to know as little about an entertainer [...]
Every year Cinco de Mayo rolls around and every year I seem to have to Google the date and figure out why we are drinking. As drinking holidays go, and frankly they're all drinking holidays aren't they?, Cinco de Mayo is probably number three behind St Patrick's Day and New Year's Eve. I mean everybody who drinks consumes a little something something on Marathon Day (a beautiful hack holiday in Boston known as Patriot's Day), Memorial Day, Fourth of July, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day. Let's be honest. But Cinco de Mayo is a fun holiday. A time [...]
Photo by Malick Sidibe - Nuit de Noël (Christmas Eve) taken in 1963 I'm probably not breaking any news here counting the irritatingly high calibre of our audience but these have been burning a hole in my pocket, so have a pick over this eclectic selection, there are some gems in there. mp3.

An oldie but a goodie I rocked the hell out of this record when I was 7 or 8 years old. <
Rayko , a Madrid-based producer who is a consistent favorite here at Analog Giant, casually dropped this simply outstanding edit of Steve Miller Band classic "Shangri-la" earlier today. It's just so...danceable! I mean, this is one helluva club track. We haven't checked in with Rayko lately, but the man is as prolific as he is talented, and he's got a load of jaw-dropping remixes and edits that he's shared on his Soundcloud page this year alone. I've slapped a couple of choice examples below. Steve Miller Band - [...]
Blissed out space rock from Californian super rock group The Steve Miller Band, taken from their tenth(!) album ' Book of Dreams ' released in 1977. Also, checkout the brilliant closing instrumental track ' Babes in the wood '. The Steve Miller Band - Wish Upon a Star
When one is inducted into, say, the Basketball Hall of Fame, that pretty much implies that your hoop dreams have been achieved, and that you're not going to be calling Jerry Maguire to renegotiate a contract for a starting position on the Timberwolves (even though those poor guys need all the help they can get). 1995 inductee Kareem Abdul-Jabbar is done playing basketball. But the train of 1995 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee Gregg Allman just keeps right on chugging. Such is the life of a tireless blues legend. In support of his latest [...]
