This cold, a harmless cold (right?), has swallowed me whole. Cast me into a sea of strangeness. I've been running a low fever for a few days now. "Winter Killing" - Stina Nordenstam There is something about fevers that makes you feel like a poet. Some broken-down, but prophetic, poet. It's akin to being high, I think. And as I shuffle through my iTunes playlist, I'm noticing that tracks I previously ranked as "two stars" sound entirely different to my germ-saturated, mucus-filled mind. [...]
Admit it, ever since I first dropped the news Monday, you've been waiting like mad for Friday. It's been an impossibly long week for you hasn't it? Well, one more day. Just one more day. UNTIL THE OFFICIAL AIN'T SUPERSTITIOUS, BUT THESE THINGS I'VE SEEN... AUTUMN MIX!!! It's what you've been waiting all summer for... well at least since you got your hands on the Summer Mix back in June, right? To get you in the mood (with a song that's not on the mix)... [...]
Wooden Shjips Genre: Psychedelic / Trance / Garage From: San Fancisco, California United States San Franciscan wierdos Wooden Shjips (trust me that is their real name and not a typo) are hugely influenced by the far-out, LSD induced experimentalism of psychedelia, with a small measure of prog rock excess thrown in for good luck. The lazy, hazy groove, fizzing, fuzzy guitars, pounding bass topped of with haunting half [...]

I hate to disappoint the 1600 or so lost souls that stop by in a given day a th this URL but folks, I'm outta here this weekend. I'll have a bit of net access here and there I suppose from hotels & whatnot, but don't count on any dastardly daily... visit for more mp3's & random revelations
Last w eek, Stylus ran their 50 Grea test Drummers of All-Time list. I handled John Densmore of The Doors and Keith Moon of The Who, two of my personal favorites. My complete ballot looked like this: 1. Keith Moon-The Who 2. John Bonham-Led Zeppelin 3. Charlie Watts-Rolling Stones 4. John Densmore-The Doors 5. Ginger Baker-Cream 6. Topper Headon-The Clash 7. Levon Helm-The Band 8. Mitch Mitchell-Jimi Hendrix Experience [...]
You've heard it all before. The hypnotic keys, that voice, the subject matter and the overall dark aura made The Doors sound otherworldly. Yes, there is something pompous and carnivalesque about the The Doors , but they were something else. All their songs kind of blend and sound the same, but it was their sound . I don't listen to them too often anymore, but recently I pulled out the matrix tapes from 1967 and really enjoyed what I heard. These recordings come from two nights at San Francisco's Matrix Club on March 7 [...]
I'm a huge fan of Best Week Ever, both the TV and the blog and I was made an even bigger fan of them when they linked to me earlier this year. That being said, this post at their site by Dan Hopper really pissed me off. I do agree that needless reunions by classic bands can do nothing but taint (hehe, I said taint) their musical legacy. I also agree with most of the bands on their list. What really bugs me about the list is that Hopper obviously didn't know shit about [...]

In attempt to maintain my poorly updated series of posts about my friend Bill's fantastic bootleg collection, here's a few cuts from a clean crisp sounding Doors show at The Matrix in San Francisco on March 3, 1967. The classic rock radio format pretty much killed The Doors for me in my youth with their constant replaying of "LA Woman". However, the boot of this concert has led me to better understand their appeal as a swaggering blues band with a fairly intense live show. The Doors | Soul Kitchen (Live) The [...]
At one point early on in Sunday night's The Sopranos ("The Blue Comet,") special agent Harris says to Tony about the weather, "End of times, huh? Ready for the Rapture?" After what soon followed in this penultimate episode, that comment feels almost not apocalyptic enough to encompass all the carnage that ensued. It was an explosive and powerful episode that sets up a series finale that's sure to be talked about for ages (and consider that your spoiler.) It's something else, though, that Agent Harris confides to Tony [...]
When the curtain finally closes on The Sopranos next week it will the end of an era, both in the fictionalized world of the television show, as well as one of the first true successes in Cable serial dramas. Without a doubt The Sopranos ushered in Cable driven programming as we know it today [...]
Had a busy week with the concerts, and therefore not much time to write for Flashback Friday . So once again it's Mixtape-Time. And what better theme could there be than some Live Classics? Enjoy those tracks, and who knows... some of them might even bring back some memories of a great concert experience from the past? Billy Joel - Goodnight Saigon (Live) [...]
Les deux derniers numéros m'ont redonné un peu de contenu et d'envie de lire les articles. Le mag est passé de la position à côté des chiottes, à la position en vue sur la table à consulter quand quelques minutes s'y prêtent. Mais tout ça ne s'est pas fait tout seul, et je vais vous exposer les raisons qui m'ont convaincu : Depuis l' histoire de la fourchette , ils ne parlent plus beaucoup des Naast, et autres petits groupes ne font plus la une comme sur un prospectus de grande surface. Il [...]
I think all that was left out of the gig guide on Wednesday was the killer gig at The Gem Theatre in Jozi.

I tried to stay out of this one, thankfully most of my L.A. songs have already been posted, but I just couldn't keep myself out of this one. I collect L.A. songs to some level. I was born in L.A. I love L.A. So, because y'all have so callously not posted this, here's L.A. Woman by The Doors Favorite line.... "I see your hair is burnin', hills are filled with fire. If they say I never loved you, you know they are a liar. Buy Best [...]
