After Bubbachups amazing introduction to Jackson C. Frank's music I decided to research and find out whatever I could about this immesely talented and underrated artist. This investigation led me to the last place on earth I would expect to find any information on him : A Daft Punk forum. Not only a Daft Punk forum but also a forum discussing a movie they premiered last year in Cannes, called Electroma. It seems everyone else but me was aware of the existence of this movie and I wonder how it went under my radar after all this months [...]
About one film that was seen, one that hasn't yet and one that should be made, and then a sad ending. This is how the story goes: 20Jazzfunkgreats one visited the Duke of York's on Saturday Night...

Ready for a refreshing grapefruit sorbet between courses, hipsters? I've got more showtunes for you. I'm compiling a mix. I do this all the time, painting from my limited palette, dipping into the same few artists over and over again. I try to branch out, really I do, but I keep coming back to my favorites. All right, clearly my favorite songs are the ones you find in musicals. My secret
Vous savez, moi l'art moderne, ce que j'en dis... N'empêche que cette pochette mérite à mon humble avis de figurer en bonne place dans le top 10 des pochettes les plus laides de tous les temps. Mais il ne faut jamais s'arrêter aux pochettes, car on risquerait de passer à côté de pépites et cet album en est incontestablement une. Mais à ce stade là, il ne serait pas inutile que je rembobinasse un brin: nous sommes en 1973 et Todd Rundgren, après un triomphe mérité avec son double Something/ Anything et le respect éternel de tous les amateurs de [...]
You Really Got A Hold On Me - Smokey Robinson & The Miracles Answering Machine - The Replacements All I Want From You Is Love - Let's Go Sailing Never My Love - Pete Yorn (Association cover) To Love Somebody - Nina Simone Hurting For You - Todd Rundgren [...]
The suits at Warner Bros must've been scratching their heads with this one. Following the success of " Something/Anything ," Todd Rundgren was well on his way to becoming a superstar but he had something else in mind. The title of this album shows his wariness of his new found success. If "Something/Anything" was delicious bubble gum then "A Wizard A True Star" is delicious bubble gum with glass in it and Rundgren makes you like the taste of your own blood. This album is the first of several of his more Zappa-esque experimental [...]
How will you celebrate the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. 's birthday today? I've got a suggestion. You ought to check out these two top-100 songs lists. One hundred freaking songs apiece, I tell you. And you know what the coolest thing is? They're put up by two brothers. I get a real kick out of that. Now, you might think that their lists would be very similar, but you'd be wrong. There's actually not a whole lot of overlap, and what there is is mostly with artists, not songs. [...]
Random Six Mix is a series where I will pick randomly (six tracks) from my iTunes library and attempt to write something (good or bad) about the tracks I land on. Rundgren's 1972 ballad from the concept album Something/Anything? shines on just like the first time you heard it on the AM dial. mp3 Hello It's Me Todd Rundgren - I Saw The Light & Other Hits This one was a previously unreleased track on the Prince compilation Hits [...]
I wholeheartedly agree with the ban on Freddie Mercury parties, albeit for very different reasons. Whoever set this up must have never worked in the business again. DLR just trying to keep it off the floor , New Years Eve 1983. Martha Quinn tosses off a pretty great line here as well. I’ve been accused by many in the past of wearing green-and-gold glasses, but I might not accept a bet that the Pack won’t get shut out against the Bears opening day. Let’s remember something here â€" [...]
Todd Rundgren celebrates a birthday today. Born June 22,1948, Todd was influenced by the early R&B sounds of Philly radio, and was playing guitar by ear by the time he was in high school. His lengthy and amazing career has been covered in-depth by his cult-like fans, so instead of boring you with TRivia , I'll just list out a few tasty sites that delve into the details. Wikipedia has a nice biography [...]
Ringo is getting ready for another summer tour with the All Starr Band. Looks like an interesting lineup. The last edition of the band was in 2003 and included Paul Carrack , Sheila E. , Colin Hay , Mark Rivera , John Waite. 2006 is the 9th edition of the All Starr Band. Previous members includes some real classic rockers. Clarence Clemons, Levon Helm, Dr. John, Jim Keltner, Nils Lofgren, Billy Preston, Joe Walsh, Dave Edmunds, Todd Rundgren, Timothy B. Schmit, Randy Bachman, John Entwistle, Mark Farner, [...]
The Cars are returning, although Ric Ocasek isn't going to be on board. It's not that the band didn't want him, it was just every time they sat down to send him an invite by email nobody could remember how to spend his name. After a nasty moment when contracts were nearly exchanged with Rick Okasec of Idaho on lead vocals, they finally decided to get Todd Rundgren to front up what they're calling The New Cars . The New Cars. Bless them. Obviously they wouldn't have been honest enough to go with The Old Bangers, but [...]
