Today is the birthday of Bukka White. He was born November 12, 1909 and passed away February 26, 1977. According to Wikipedia Bukka White (November 12, 1909 -- February 26, 1977) was a delta blues guitarist and singer.

Beck: "One of Us Cannot Be Wrong" (Leonard Cohen Cover) (Video)

The above cover of Leonard Cohen's "One of Us Cannot Be Wrong" is Beck's Record Club's last jaunt through Songs of Leonard Cohen, presumably paving the way for the album-lenght cover of a Skip James album with Wilco. This video is pretty understated, which has kind of been the overall theme of this album-length cover, since the group was less inclined to massacre songs by other artists,...

The Unemployment Blues

I have always thought that blues music reflects what is going on in the US well. Right now unemployment is high, this is not the first time that this has happened in this country. And blues musicians have documented it and offered over the years some hope and escape from the frustration of not having a job. The Y! Raddish Blog put together a play list of blues songs about Unemployment. I thought it...

"Stuff To Spy For" in Dan Burns new book, James Lessor and Skip Moore have become private investigators.

"Stuff To Spy For" in Dan Burns new book, James Lessor and Skip Moore have become private investigators. Best friends James Lessor and Skip Moore are still stuck in dead-end jobs , still living in their ratty apartment in Carol City, Florida, and still dreaming of hitting the big time. It seems those dreams are finally within reach when James lands a job to install a state-of-the-art security...

Stuff To Spy For

© Don Bruns 2009 all rights reserved Grown Up Hardy Boys. That's the rap my characters are getting in the Stuff series. STUFF TO SPY FOR comes out this week, and it's getting great reviews, but the majority of coverage brings up the Hardy Boys...all grown up. And that's pretty tough to live up to. My two protagonists, Skip and James, have been lifelong friends and have recently graduated from...

Toadcast #93 – The Craigcast

I have a friend Craig who works in Waterstones and is an obsessive about old American folk music and, more specifically, blues. He has been making Neil Meursault mix CDs for ages, which I’ve heard and consistently found myself asking what the hell I was listening to. I usually hate the tedious collections of old [...]

Rave Ups: O Brother, Where Art Thou?

What a great film. The Cohen Brothers at their best in my opinion. It’s a wonderfully clever retelling of Homer’s Iliad in the style of a 3 Stooges movie set in an alternate universe during a time period much like Depression/Dust Bowl era America. But as this is not a film blog, I digress [...]

8 Ball Aitken

Coming from a farming community in Far North Queensland, 8 Ball Aitken is the oldest son of an impoverished family of twelve children. 8 Ball spent his adolescence on a banana plantation, living in a rough tobacco shed with resident rats, bats, snakes, and spiders as his sleeping companions. He started work as a farm labourer aged fifteen, doing back-breakingly hard work on the mango and banana plantations...
