I came across a fantastic new book of the best rock n' roll photography at the bookshop I work in today. Graham Nash (yes, that Graham Nash) selected the images and he's done a great job. Johnny Cash giving the finger, Bob Marley with king size spliff, Marianne Faithfull naked in the shower. Sterling stuff. It's called Taking Aim and it's really worth checking out. The print quality is excellent and...
I remember so well the first time I heard Pete play… must have been 1960 or 1961…. What a great player… even then he could play every solo you ever wanted to hear.. without doubt he was very instrumental in bringing me and my music to this place…I think about him often and I know [...]

Many of our regulars here are very familiar with the screen name PUK, or PeterUK. He had been conspicuously absent for the last week, so much so that I was compelled to contact a mutual friend, Clarice Feldman. She’d been having the same concerns and was busy racking her brain trying to think of a [...]
Rolling Stone caught up with Graham Nash, Max Weinberg and Jackson Browne at last night’s first of two epic Rock and Roll Hall of Fame 25th anniversary celebrations, and grilled the trio of legends on their favorite Rock Hall memories. Watch them recall their emotional induction moments, jamming with George Harrison and being honored by [...]
The 25th Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Anniversary Concerts - Night 1 Madison Square Garden Rocktober 29th this once in a zillion lifetimes concert contained the criznazzyiest of criznazzy collaborations and a super-sized sizzling sing-a-long setlist that set everyone's ears ablaze and heads into a daze (see belows, complied by Thighlandium's favorite son, Mr Pibbums), so much so that a listing of the...
Our friend Ben and Silence Dogood have been fantasizing for at least six months about travelling to Morocco. It’s hard to imagine anything farther removed from our life here in Pennsylvania, and while we love our home and the beauties of the Pennsylvania countryside, sometimes it’s fun to think of something completely different. So we’ve [...]
Déjà Vu was the first album Crosby, Stills & Nash released since the addition of Neil Young to the group, and was greatly anticipated after the popularity of the first CSN album. Some noted the influence of Buffalo Springfield, Stills and Young's previous band, notably in the closing song "Everybody I Love You" and the inclusion of a segment of the unreleased Springfield...
Designed by Edward Vogel and built for one of the Spreckels, the five-bedroom 737 Buena Vista West was subsequently home to Jack London, Ambrose Bierce and Graham Nash. And apparently in the sixties, Gene Estabrook even ran a recording...
"Music, in performance, is a type of sculpture. The air in the performance is sculpted into something." Frank Zappa (1940 – 1993), composer, electric guitarist, record producer, and film director I am still in awe of the Crosby, Stills & Nash concert at the Greek Theater on Saturday, Oct. 3; those three men are incredibly talented singers, songwriters, and musicians. There is something...
Eagles' bass player and lender of sweet harmonies, Timothy B. Schmitt will soon release his first solo album in eight years. In a statement released by his management company, Schmitt says: "Expando implies growing and expanding and I feel like...
A download single to support the campaign against the extradition of Gary McKinnon to the US. A good cause and I'd suggest more deserving of the Massive's time, sympathy (and money) than say Roman Polanski ... http://www.londontv.net/freegarymckinnon.html

Not many park visitors make the trip to Ironstone even though the winery makes some of the best wine in California. But now there’s a great reason to head up [...]
