Catching a random car radio airing of The Doobie Brothers' Grammy-winning 1979 No. 1 "What A Fool Believes" during the depressing early-A.M. drive to work is like the equivalent of some tiny magical elf crawling in the inside of your ear and whispering "Cheer up (insert your name here) , because today is gonna be a good day". Though the classic ditty is really a kind-of depressing tale (centered on a man discovering of, and then being in complete denial about, the very little impact he had on a former fling's life), it's still [...]

By: David Schultz At New York City’s Beacon Theater this past week, Steely Dan’s Donald Fagen, The Doobie Brothers’ Michael McDonald and Boz Scaggs passed the spotlight back and forth while they treated the whitest audience imaginable to a smattering of their own classics interspersed with covers of the songs that influenced them. It’s the same blueprint that Levon Helm has adopted for his

Everyone give a warm welcome to Mr. Gerard Gallucci, who's back with the third installment of our ongoing series, Get Educated With Jerry . So far this semester we've covered some greats, including Yes and Talking Heads. Next up: The Doobie Brothers. Get out your Trapper Keepers and sharpen your Koosh pencils kids - it's time to get educated. Most folk probably think of Michael McDonald when they think of the Doobie Brothers. He was an okay back-up singer for Steely Dan but the real Doobies were the original crew [...]

Baidarka is the name sometimes used for an Aleutian style sea kayak. A prominent feature of a baidarka is its forked bow (bifurcated bow). Very lightweight and maneuverable, it was made out of seal skin sewed only by Aleut women, over a frame made strictly of driftwood (since no trees grow in the Aleutian Islands), bone and sinew. It was treated as a living being by Aleut men (it was taboo for women to handle them). George Dyson, son of astrophysicist Freeman Dyson , is often credited with the revival of [...]

We’ve got quite a few great releases for you this week, and this time around we’re going to try to fit them all in one post. Take a look at our quick rundown, and as always, if you dig what you hear, support the artists by picking up an album or two. Eric Clapton is back with his 19th studio album, Clapton via Reprise Records. Of the album, Clapton says, “This album wasn’t what it was intended to be at all. It’s actually better than it was meant to be because, in a way, I just let [...]

My classes aren't as big as this but it sure does portray the whiteboard with precision. Those scribbles, along with the comfort of my seat caused me to fall asleep in class this morning for a few seconds at a time. Anyway, as I walked out of the building and back to my apartment, this song came on. Perfect for the cool weather that just came without notice. Mien - MillionYoung Bonus: I've heard this song countless times on the radio station that my parents like listening to back home in Manila. [...]

Today is Friday the 13th… it’s the day we all fear, including my homeboy Obama. He text me this morning asking, “Iz 2day Fri 13th?” I was hesitant on telling him the truth because I remember his unfortunate experience at Camp Crystal Lake a few years back. It seems that there was this weird guy in a hockey mask named Jason that was going through a REALLY rough time in his life. Obama wanted to sit down with Jason to discuss the finer points, but Jason only wanted to cut people up… which didn’t sit too well with Obama. [...]

It was kind of a slow week for me as far as listening to new music, I was crazy busy, and Friday my car decided to die on me, so I've been busy looking for a new one which has limited my music time. Hopefully this coming week there will be a lot more songs on the picks of the week feature. Dido's Lament- Jeff Buckley Home- Goo Goo Dolls It'll Never Leave You Alone-Crash Test Dummies [...]

It seems like the only thing cooler than being a hipster is claiming not to be one. So lest we be considered hipsters I decided to cover some music that hasn’t been “hip” in 40 years by attending Louisville, KY’s inaugural HullabaLOU Music Festival in Louisville, KY. The event spread out over three days at Churchill Downs, the legendary home of the Kentucky Derby. It was cool seeing bands on the infield, in a place with so much rich history, and it was cool for a new music festival to [...]

the revenge seem to getting remix/rework credits on everything these days doesnt he? while some of his work is a little subtle, the rest of it is pretty damned awesome. this re-edit of spandau ballet is pretty much as good as it gets on a sunday like this: expansive, gentle and a little bit gloomy. near perfection. apologies for the extremely low bitrate.. i scoured the net high and low for a higher quality version, but couldnt spot one anywhere. Spandau Ballet - True (The Revenge Rework) [...]

As we previously reported, Primus will return to the road this summer for their first headlining tour in four years.

Joining the bill for the traveling fest, which kicks off on September 14 in Sacramento, CA, will be Mariachi el Bronx , Portugal. The Man and Split Lip Rayfield , with more acts to be confirmed [...]
