The Zen of Off Brand Soda

The Doctor Is In Greetings all. This will be a short one today. This week has been crazy busy, and after work today I have to run home, shower and then drive up to Brooklyn to DJ, so I expect to be exhausted for most of the weekend. As I was wasting time this AM, [...]

The Montanas – That’s When Happiness Began

The Montanas Listen – That’s When Happiness Began – MP3 Greetings all. I hope everyone had a mot excellent weekend, and the beginning of a new week finds you ready for some fuzz. Today’s selection has long been a favorite song of mine, as well as yet another unsolved musical puzzle. I first heard ‘That’s [...]

Beau Brummels – When It Comes To Your Love

The Beau Brummels Listen – When It Comes To Your Love – MP3 Greetings all. Today’s selection is another one of those numbers that I happened upon during my days in the 80’s garage revival. My band, the Phantom Five had played at a VFW near Harrisburg (I think it was in 1987) with the [...]

The Attack – Magic In the Air

The Attack Listen – Magic In the Air – MP3 Greetings all. Here’s hoping that the middle of the week finds you well.

I come to you following a busy week/weekend, during which my son Miles and I have been digesting – three shorts at a time – the newly released boxed set of classic Fleischer-era Popeye cartoons. As I am often reminded, there’s a large portion of the adult population that spends little or no time [...]

The Walker Brothers – After the Lights Go Out

The Walker Brothers John, Gary, and Scott Listen – After the Lights Go Out – MP3 Greetings all. Here I sit, late on a Saturday night, not much to do and I figured the time was ripe to whip a tune up here into the blog-o-sphere. I’ve been a big Scott Walker / Walker Brothers [...]
