The Disco Biscuits were busted en route to Bonnaroo!
I gotta say…Kid Rock is a cool mutherfucker.
Video of the recording of a hot new Grace Potter and the Nocturnals song. Luckily, it sounds less poppy then the material on their debut album.
Petty and Maiden at MSG. No, separately! I would’ve loved to have seen either. I’m on a huge Petty kick now after seeing Runnin’ Down A Dream.

Well, it’s been quite a week so far with Obama winning the Democratic nomination (go Barack!) and the passing of one of Rock’s true innovators and pioneers, Bo Diddley. Not to mention, the birthday of my lovely wife on Tuesday and our second wedding anniversary today! I am an extremely happy and lucky man.
And with the dreams of America’s regime change inching ever-closer to becoming reality, here’s my little photo tribute to the men and women in the Armed Forces who have been putting their lives on the line to protect our ways of life. Hopefully we’ll soon get someone in office who won’t risk their lives frivolously and as a means to support their owns’ greed. AND I couldn’t resist taking the pic when I saw these guys sitting at a table in Little Italy.
So here’s some stuff to check out…
Speaking of photos, check this out, it’s really cool but it may just jerk a tear or two.
BO……DIDDLEY! Thank you and rest in peace.
Raconteurs on Conan.
There goes the neighborhood!
R.E.M. recently rocked “Ignoreland” for the first time.
Leaked Vampire Weekend demo performed by their keyboard player (and mastermind). Be sure to look at all the comments.
Oh yeah, more great Diddley on NPR’s Monitor Mix!
Shameless plug...it looks good if I get some clicks on my articles.
New MAN remasters. I’m completely addicted to this band now!
I made a little Bo Diddley Tribute Tape if you wanna honor one of rock’s greatest pioneers by getting down to his grooves. There’s some early Diddley stuff on here that he is best known for and then there’s also some great tracks from his rare 1972 album, Where It All Began. Dig.
Bomp-da-bomp-da-bomp, da-bomp bomp!
Rest In Peace, Bo and thanks for giving Rock music it’s groove!
