Now that I've implanted The Drifters into your head, I can tell you my story. It's the story of a woman. A woman to truly hates, with every fibre of her being, to nag. But every year at this time, she found herself nagging. "When are you going to put up the Christmas lights?" she would ask her hubby. Then a week would pass without a response, and she would nag again. "Are you going to...

For decades, the Howard Theatre was a mecca for black entertainers such as Duke Ellington, Ella Fitzgerald, Pearl Bailey, Cab Calloway, James Brown, the Supremes, the Drifters. Then the lights went out. It's been years since the theater went...

Yesterday was this blog's first birthday and although I fully intended to post something, I never felt quite in the right mood. I exceeded my initial target of posting, on average, at least once a week. As for the direction of the blog, that's something which has evolved during the year, and I'm still not entirely sure what sort of blog this is. In some ways, it's a personal blog with most of the personal...

Earlier this week, The Flaming Lips continued their quest in promoting Embryonic by stopping off at KCRW for a great recording session. They played a rare track, utilized studio personnel as recordable participants, and bounced ear-first into Pink Floyd . If there were a blacklist for bands who are notoriously difficult to (successfully) cover, Pink Floyd would most certainly be on it. Yet, the Lips...

No 3 Travellin' Light - Cliff Richard This is is only on the list for one reason. In October 1959, when I was fourteen, my family came into possession of it's first gramophone. It was very second hand and only played 78's. It may have been Nanan (again) who took my brother John and I to a nearby shop in Braintree to purchase our first two records.

"Produced by a team led by WGBH, in co-production with the BBC, Latin Music USA invites the audience into the vibrant musical conversation between Latinos and non-Latinos that has helped shape the history of popular music in the United States. Fittingly,...
