Neon Indian / Psychic Chasms / Lefse There’s something absolutely irresistible about Alan Palomo’s project, Neon Indian. On Psychic Chasms, he perfectly combines hippied out psychadelic dreamscapes with synth-disco, yacht rock, dance track beats. Add an overlay of distortion and a cloud of experimental ethos, and you have Psychic Chasms. I honestly cannot [...]

I’ve given Michael McDonald a hard time over the years and I just want to take this opportunity to apologize. I’m sure everyone has already heard the Grizzly Bear/Michael McDonald collaboration on Grizzly Bear’s “While You Wait for the Others”.

John Fogerty's Blue Ridge Rangers Tour show at Chicago's Auditorium Theatre on Saturday November 21st brought together hundreds of middle aged gents and their wives, girl friends and significant others at feast and celebration of musical artistry void of posturing and narcissism. The only name worthy of the Single Name, it seems to me was James Brown; however, back in 1969 The Hardest Working Man in...

[Originally Published August 9, 2007] Steely Dan 03/20/1974 FM ( MP3 ): After listening to one of Steely Dan’s rare live gigs from the ’70s, I’m just confused as to why these guys didn’t tour behind any of their legendary albums.

This Christmas Please click image A fan of McDonald at Amazon.com had this to say; Michael McDonald's latest holiday CD has nothing but great music; but it becomes a mixed bag because so much of this has been released before. This CD has quite a few of its twelve tracks from Michael's past holiday releases "In the Spirit" and "Through the Many Winters." If you have these two CDs...
