Two great ones...

First...the kind of moment where the energy of a good song can overtake a room, a tape, a camera, and the heart of ANY fan...

This song is killer and the excitement on stage is just AS...

Dawes with Mumford & Sons - When My Time Comes from WXPN FM on Vimeo.

And this video is fun, I hope the album (to come) is just as fun!

Night before Thanksgiving?

Way to nail it, Deertick..

Is anyone that's making anything new only breaks something else."

Miles to go before we sleep...

Happy Birthday Jerry!

Jerry Garcia

We (Legos), set controls for the heart of the sun...

this video to a 2007 release appeared online this week courtesy of a fan, and has been gaining some attention...mainly because of the use of Legos, less because of Pink Floyd references...





how can you doubt a video that opens with a gong?

there's nothing cheesy, I mean, trippy, I mean, tripcheese about this?!?!





from the folks @ EMI

.....:TRENDS:.....

Traveling at the speed of sound, one can certainly get around!

Seems like these bands put the "evolution" in Revolution.

(and p.s. the Revolution will NOT be VEVO-ized)

The electric feel, of all:



Phoenix, with their take:



Empire of the Sun:



and now...

Foster the People:

You know that song?

I don't always understand the "triggers" for these musical memories, but I am a man with a tendency to bust out in song (real and/or fake) at any time. Many times, it's a song I have stored somewhere in the odd structure of my brain that keeps them, and throws out the important more immediate facts I may need...

Sometimes it's a song I haven't actually heard in YEARS.

Maybe it's one who's title I may not quite know, and perhaps an artist I haven't yet obsessed about?

Like this song.

Dream Academy's "Life in a Northern Town"

I couldn't tell you the last time I heard it, nor will I share the details of the silly process I took 'round the "google" to find it...

But, now you have it. Enjoy.

Born at the Right Time...

...more Paul..

"Too many people on the bus from the airport
Too many holes in the crust of the earth
The planet groans
Every time it registers another birth

But among the reeds and rushes
A baby girl was found
Her eyes as clear as centuries
Her silky hair was strawberry blonde!"

Joey Hannah 6/28/11

it's a GIRL.

...be back soon...





BIFF? You are scaring me...



it IS Biff btw...

And back to the future...or now..





now I pause for the cause..

Baby Fever...

...first child is on the way...

I have baby fever. I am preparing all sorts of playlists...

This man, Michael Armstrong has made some child-friendly arrangements to some great music, and some that are just hilariously good...



This is one of my favorites...



Really? Yes. There is SO MUCH MORE OF IT.



and OF COURSE my child is going to get the REAL DEAL still...

In for the ride...

...this beats the subway...



I dig this band.

Paul is back, Jack.

Groovy.

Respect due, and beautiful people.

It speaks for itself.

Old and New and New and Old...

Where does the influence end and the NEW continue? That's the best line to blur ever...

and so I continue with old and new
and the perfect playlist, keeps on playing..







ELEVEN...2011....

Love.

Peace...

Never ending groove.
