Cale .

Nope, I'm not talking about Flotsam and Jetsam, the thrash metal band that Jason Newsted left to join Metallica for. Today's blog is more along the lines of random thoughts and stream-of-consciousness writing. Yeah, I'm feeling fragmented this week, so when this article about speed linking came to my attention, it just jelled. ElectricGuitarReview has a fine example of speed linking ; think of it as 'thrash-metal' for bloggers. Check out our new CybersMusicStore , which has a secure shoppingcart powered by Amazon.com.

cybercoder (David): I was reading an Imagine Echoes post about most listened to album, and it made me think. You know, I never listen to an entire CD anymore, since I use iTunes everything goes into the library and I listen to stuff from there. Typically I listen to a certain genre, you know, a day of Blues, or I will tag all Eric Clapton and SRV , or maybe old stuff, but, I never listen to a complete CD by an artist. [...]

Now here's a new artist who gives new meaning to the term, underground sensation. 25 year old Susan Cagle started singing and playing in New York subways after 9/11, as a way to reach out to fellow New Yorkers. Her natural talent connected with people in a positive way and in the years that followed, and she recorded her own album called The Subway Recordings. Coming from a family of ten brothers and sisters, their band is literally a family affair. They've sold 30,000 copies of their hand [...]

We posted about this album a week before it was released, but since then I've had the pleasure of actually viewing the DVD. So I've just got to share a little review with you. If you're a Bonnie Raitt fan, this concert is a must for your collection. I'm amazed at how live shows are increasingly becoming so much better...the sound, mixing, and video editing is really great on this DVD. Of course, it doesn't hurt to have a state-of-the-art stage, where VH1 filmed this show. [...]

It was forty years ago that the Beatles played their last live concert. It was held at Candlestick Park in San Francisco on August 29th, 1966. The show only lasted 35 minutes, but was important from the standpoint that it was final public concert by the Beatles , ending their famous but frantic world tour. Their last public appearance in England was at Wembley Stadium on May 1st, 1965. By now the story is a familiar one. The group was tired of touring and not being able [...]

One of the pleasures of working with music is the thrill of discovery. Case in point is this new collection from Alice In Chains . I've enjoyed their songs "Man In The Box" and "No Excuses" for years, but never realized it was them until this review. Both videos are on the Video Jukebox . I guess that's the downside to listening to the radio...you never know who you're listening to. Alice In Chains celebrates it's 20th anniversary next year. What better way to acknowledge the band's musical legacy [...]
