Way back in 1980, John Lennon released a record after not being heard from for five years. Then he was murdered. Familiar story, right? Apparently not to the gang over at Time ...

I created a music category because I write about it often enough and I'm going to write more posts about collecting vinyl records. I decided that my new vinyl hobby is better for the environment than buying CD's. Yes, the...
‘Ripple’ addresses itself as a song and an instrument of the performers’ emotional expression. Several lines throughout the song echo the 23rd Psalm of the Bible. The song debuted on August 18, 1970, at The Fillmore in San ...

Yesterday , we were surprised by the early arrival of family. So now I've got my neice next to me playing LPS with her new friend Blueberry. Not quite sure what that is...

It's been a relaxing pleasure. I look forward to taking in more of this fine disc. 2. Snug and I took a walk along the Willamette River in the River Road area today. We'll have to go there a lot more often. Duck...

More info: Dylan was looking for guest artists for a Jimmie Rodgers tribute alum when he dashed off a note to his longtime friend Jerry Garcia. [...]

Just last week a commenter specifically requested “some more those obscuro greasy funky kickin’ Hammond 45’s”, and never one to neglect the [...]
Listening to the Pink Floyd’s Peel Sessions from 1970 has reignited my interest in the group that had experienced a significant lag over the last decade. During high school and early college years they were in heavy rotation on my headphones, and later, my dorm room. Unlike my contemporaries at the time who [...]
Things have been hectic at the Test of the Boomerang headquarters: I just became a father, and things have been understandably hectic. I took a break from changing nappies, though, to put together a little mix. It’s a real mixed bag today, folks — I have Jarboe’s sweet cover of Blind Faith’s “Can’t Find My [...]
