This week’s disaster theme came from a conversation I had with Blueback Birthday Boy Dylan last night, but for the life of me I can’t remember how we got onto the subject of total cock-ups. I was DJing later though, so maybe that had something to do with it. Actually, I know I’ve had an [...]

Like every other music freak, I fell in love with Télépopmusik's international hit "Breathe" when I heard it used in Mitsubishi's commercial. However, my music nuttiness always takes it a step further. Finding the track is never enough. I then have to learn who sang it, wrote it, produced it, etc. My love for that track quickly became an obsession with the vocalist. A little...

Pajamas Media/Roger L.Simon It reads in part: Well, there is no song – that I know of – entitled “I Got the Blue State Blues,” but someone ought to write some lyrics because the old “California Dreamin’” has become bluesy indeed, somewhere along the lines of Billie Holiday’s “Stormy Monday.” It’s that bad. This has become a [...]

In case you didn't hear about it. the legendary Soupy Sales passed on last month. I didn't really get a chance to give him his just due as I was in the middle of the Halloween countdown and a Soupy post just didn't fit. So, today I offer you Soupy's first album. It's a soundtrack of sorts but more of a companion album to his television show. The show originated in 1953 from the studios of WXYZ-TV in...

I couldn't find another version of Blow the Wind Southerly I really liked, but I kept coming across references to this singer and the English folk tune. I finally found a sample clip at Amazon, and I liked what I could hear of it, very, very much. See what you think. I hadn't heard of her, or if I had, the knowledge hadn't remained with me, but this is my fault. She's a highly acclaimed singer who...
