‘I’ve got to do this one’: Steve Lukather took rare break from Toto to join the Beatles’ Ringo Starr

Jan 13, 1:22pm Something Else! Reviews

For Steve Lukather, a confirmed Beatlemaniac, the invitation to join Ringo Starr's All-Starr Band was a no-brainer. But first, he had to break the news to everyone in Toto, the band he co-founded in the late 1970s. A first-call sideman for decades, Lukather had nevertheless been the band's stalwart member, the only one to have appeared on every album and [...]

Mustn’t do dat

Sep 17, 2012, 1:30am Acid Ted

Are there any things, in relation to remixes, where - as my son says when another ball goes sailing over next door's fence - " mustn't do dat ". I would have thought that soft rock classic Horse With No Name was one. But Todd Terje did a nu disco remix that I quite like (though I suspect the wife and D wouldn't) and of course there's Lemon Jelly. In that vein, here's a remix from Nick Merenda that I would have said shouldn't be remixed - Toto's dreadful soft rock classic Africa - which comes [...]

Australian Cam Bianchetti (aka Late Nite Tuff Guy / HMC) loves all things engrossed in disco and the kinder strains of gorgeous techno. As LNTG , his capacity and range over new age disco landscapes fails not to excite, but instead revives & inspires those dormant senses of ours and re-strengthens those grips that made us fall in love with the genre in the first place. Throughout these four examples, Late Nite Tuff Guy takes us into his mind of Toto & Aretha Franklin balances, but always manages to come out the credible [...]
