Not another post about me, no. Arf. But I have to chip in with my 79p to say a few words about Itunes’s Genius feature. What is basically does is creates a playlist around one song. It does this using the vast database at Apple which contains information about the song, then matches it to another [...]

LADYHAWKE: LADYHAWKE***MODULAR/ISLAND, £10.99NEW Zealander Pip Brown pays brazen tribute to her 1980s upbringing on a debut album that effortlessly references such nostalgia radio favourites as Cyndi Lauper, Stevie Nicks,Pat Benatar, Don Henley and Gary Numan. Not with the knowing, fashion-led irony favoured by the likes of Les Rythmes Digitales (aka Madonna's producer Stuart Price), but in the same...

I heard this Eagles song this morning from the 1976 Hotel California album. How prophetic of Don Henley. Yet, we STILL don't get it. Fantastic song–The Last Resort. Then the chilly winds blew down Across the desert through the canyons of the coast, to the Malibu Where the pretty people play, hungry for power to light their neon [...]

Eagles guitarist Joe Walsh is the anti-Eagle. Make that the anti-ego. You know about the big shots in the Eagles -- Don Henley and Glenn Frey. Purposeful singer-songwriter Henley is the band's...

My brain informs me that Don Henley's "I Will Not Go Quietly" (words) maps onto Los Lobos' "Two Janes" (melody). The degree to which I did not need to know this can be inferred from the degree to which I felt it necessary to share.

"We all read the fable about the tortoise and the hare and we decided a long time ago, it was better to be the tortoise," Don Henley told the enthusiastic Nashville audience last Thursday night (Sept. 18). "We're still here. You're still here."

The autumn equinox is at 16:44 today, UK time. After that, the sun dips below the equator and into the southern hemisphere for another six months. For many people, perhaps because of their formative years at school and college, where...

That’s how I’d describe the last three days, in which had the privilege to spend with three of the most lovely people I’ve ever met. John from Buddah on the Road, Nancy from Marie Millard, and Laura from Lady Jaye’s Revenge arrived from their respective home towns on Thursday afternoon. The moment we all met [...]

That song — the one by Don Henley from the Eagles? Yeah. It’s tripping through my consciousness over and over like a broken record. If I haven’t turned you off already by using the “F” word (forgiveness) keep on keepin’ on with me here. I know it’s a long one, but hey — you love me. Right? Right? [...]

If most bands were to go nearly 30 years between albums, they might agonize over the direction and tenor their new music should take, how time has changed them individually and collectively, and whether they will still be considered relevant.

Oh, but this one I really like. Introducing Fuelly. (Hat tip to Smithee at Consumerism Commentary!) I really dig it since I collect all my gas receipts and track my fuel economy that way. It keeps me slightly honest about how much I’m punching the accelerator on my commute. I can usually tell if I’ve been driving [...]

Don Henley gives virtual chat with Star-Telegram pop music critic Preston Jones. “The record labels have always stolen from artists; now, music consumers are doing it, too. The only way for a musician to make a living anymore is on the road, because the Internet has just about succeeded in killing copyright”. “We came up in an era [...]
