A close friend of mine turned me onto a new band, Shwayze.
Straight out of Malibu, Shwayze is as breezy as their name. Picture Ben Harper crashing an Everlast party. Quirky, fun and escapist music that puts the sunny into summer. Their self-titled debut (Suretone/Geffen) drops August 19, and the band, featuring Whitestarr’s Cisco [...]

All right, we rebound from our brief nostalgia trip and get back to what I’d intended to talk about earlier this morning.
I started today talking about Nine Inch Nails’ instrumental release Ghosts I-IV. Ghosts is the first NIN I ever bought and I bought it because A) it was instrumental and B) I [...]

What can a poor boy do except sing in a rock and roll band? Five days after the passing of E Street Band keyboardist Dan Federici, Bruce Springsteen and the rest of the E Street Band returned to the stage to resume their tour.

Fuck me, they do go on!
I know you hardcore Zep fans will want my hide, as will all you jam band folks who think it takes 45 minutes just to tune a guitar, to say nothing of actually playing something. I think Led Zeppelin and The Grateful Dead might be the reason The Ramones [...]

I’ve just written up a draft of my Top 10 Albums of 2007. It was a difficult process, but a fun one because I got to reflect on just how many great albums were made this year. I’m stunned at a couple that didn’t make the list. I love The White Stripes [...]

It’s 9:38, the iPod is charged and loaded, and I’m about ready to call it a night.
TheWifeToWhomI’mMarried and I will be hitting the open road, heading for S. Carolina to visit friends. It’s the third year in a row we’ll have rung in the new year in Columbia, and we just can’t get there [...]

Yep. I bought Living in the Material World at lunch today.
I’m listening to it a second time now, and I am pleased. I’d be more pleased if I were listening to it at home, following a day in which my work project was actually working.
