I don’t like Jazz, much. Never did, perhaps never will. But when I do like it, it sounds like Art Pepper Meets the Rhythm Section. As legend has it, West coast Art Pepper, alto saxophonist, had no idea his wife booked him a recording gig with three seasoned “rhythm” players from the East coast, fresh …

I learned of this band when I lived in Seattle and was selling off some compact discs cheaply to a young woman whom was going to open a used cd shop. She told me to watch for the Detroit Cobras in 2001. – James Bresnahan
Antigone Rising, or AR as they are known to fans, has long been known for its “grass roots” touring. They shed this reputation recently when they were chosen by the US State Department to be Arts Envoys in Israel from February 18-28, 2012. They brought to Israel and the West Bank the hope of good …
This is Peter Gabriel’s closing song, “Biko,” at Amnesty International’s “Conspiracy of Hope Tour” on June 15, 1986. It was something like a funeral in there until 80,000 of us started singing the “Uhh, uhh, ooohhh’s”.

Many won’t believe this, and I am not joking, but we had a family dog that spoke limited English. My Mom worked with him for a while until he, Ben, a black Labrador Retriever, could say clearly, “Hi Momma, I love you, and I love you Momma.” She was talking to Ben the dog when …
I believe her! She is educated, cute, thin, has a quasi little girl voice, is humorous, and is a bit crazy. Anyone have her phone number?! If she’s a gymnast too, the sex will be great!!! ; ) – James Bresnahan . .
People say Skynyrd was nothing more than a bar band.

Thus far, they’ve been snubbed. Legendary progressive rock band Rush has never been nominated for the Rock’n Roll Hall of Fame. Here are 18 reasons why they should be included in that great museum in Cleveland: 1. Mike Swanson – They’re Canadian. 😀 Seriously though, not only does Rush rock, but they have had an …
This question comes from an unnamed source via Daniel Housman – Just how many brilliant obscure singer-songwriters were there in the early Seventies? I’m still getting over rediscovering Emmitt Rhodes — and now here’s David Ackles. Nobody was listening to this stuff, yet “Gimme Dat Ding” went Top 40? Tom Kipp – Let us add …
http://youtu.be/qAkubiZhly4 “To our Fans and Friends: As R.E.M., and as lifelong friends and co-conspirators, we have decided to call it a day as a band. We walk away with a great sense of gratitude, of finality, and of astonishment at all we have accomplished. To anyone who ever felt touched by our music, our deepest …
When Johnny Cash was old and sick Rick Rubin was hired to produce as many songs as they could get out of him. John Carter Cash helped pick songs and arrange them for his Dad. Ultimately, Johnny had to like it. He listened to Marley as much as Depeche Mode, Nine Inch Nails, Soundgarden, Danzig, …
