Rollo & Grady // Voices Of Angels Volume #9 2008-10-14 20:19:13 Disclosure: I’m in love with Joanna Newsom. So in love that I can overlook the fact that her voice sounds a bit like Carol Kane’s Spirit of Christmas Present character in the movie Scrooged. If you read the blog regularly you know that my favorite female artists are Feist and Cat Power. But [...] Read more:Angels

New Album Releases For Tuesday 10/14/2008 2008-10-14 01:29:53 Ray LaMontagne
If you download or buy any CD’s in October, make sure it’s Ray LaMontagne’s Gossip In the Grain. I downloaded the album a couple hours ago and I love it. Keep in mind that I-tunes pulls a bait and switch with the release; you have to buy the entire album to get the live [...] Read more:Album

Rollo & Grady // After Midnight 2008-10-13 22:11:51 “After midnight, we’re gonna let it all hang out
After midnight, we’re gonna chug-a-lug and shout
We’re gonna cause talk and suspicion
Give an exhibition
Find out what it is all about”
-J.J. Cale After Midnight
This is what it is all about. There is a cool story behind the song. Oklahoma songwriter J.J. Cale wrote “After Midnight” and released it [...]
Eddy Grant // Electric Avenue (Remix) 2008-10-12 13:33:19 It’s hard to rank the early 80’s hits. Eddy Grant
’s “ElectricAvenue
” is definitely in my Top 10.“Funky Town” - Lipps Inc., “Cars” - Gary Numan, “Who Can It Be Now?”- Men At Work , “Come On Eileen” - Dexy’s Midnight Runners, “She Blinded Me With Science” - Thomas Dolby, “The Safety Dance” -
Rollo & Grady // Sunday Blues Volume #8 2008-10-12 02:45:42 When Muddy Waters took the stage at the Checkerboard Lounge [Buddy Guys Bar] in Chicago on November 22, 1981 to play a session with members of the Rolling Stones, no one expected it to become one of his last live concert appearances. Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Ron Wood and Ian Stewart were excited to [...] Read more:Blues

Mitch Hedberg - The Dufrenes 2008-10-11 13:58:36 I’m really disappointed that I did not have the opportunity to catch one of Mitch
Hedberg’s live shows. There is no question that he was the smartest and funniest comedians of his generation. He’s been compared to Steven Wright, but I think that Hedberg’s act is edgier and more entertaining.
I’m warming up to Mitch’s [...]
Roses Kings Castles // Brass Winter 2008-11-06 12:38:34 Adam Ficek
I guess you don’t have to be a total fuckup to be a member of Babyshambles. Drummer Adam Ficek’s solo side project Roses
Kings Castles is not bad. Ficek’s began working on the material while on Babyshambles’ 2007 tour. With no intention of ever releasing the tracks, he recorded the album in [...] Read more:Brass
Sacha Baron Cohen // Respect 2008-11-05 11:06:24 From The CBC:
British actor SachaBaronCohen
has returned to gate-crashing in the U.S., this time bringing his flamboyant gay fashion reporter character Bruno to a California rally calling for a ban on same-sex marriage.
Cohen, disguised as Bruno, joined marching demonstrators outside Los Angeles City Hall on Sunday and mingled with the crowd. The march [...] Read more:Sacha Baron

David Marchese // I Would Like To Buy You A Drink 2008-11-05 10:36:18 I just picked up a copy of the November issue of Spin Magazine (MGMT Cover). While flipping through the magazine I came across David
Marchese’s interview with Lou Reed. It’s painful to read. Marchese tries his damndest to get the legend to open up for the interview. In Reed’s defense, he’s probably done thousands of [...] Read more:Drink
Fascinoma // Don’t Go 2008-11-03 20:56:38 Alanna Lin AKA Fascinoma
A couple weeks ago a friend of mine emailed me a song “I’m Walking This Road Because You Stole My Car (Don’t Go)” by Los Angeles singer-songwriter Alanna Lin. For whatever reason I’ve been putting off posting it and then last night I got scooped by Fox’s American Dad. The animated series [...]
