Last night, September 6, 2011 I ventured out to a little club called The Highline. It’s a very friendly, cozy little place up a flight of stairs on Broadway in Seattle’s Capitol Hill neighborhood. There I had the pleasure of viewing three great acts. First up was Pascal Briggs. This is my second time seeing …
Month: September 2011
B’shoot was exhausting, not to mention rather slight in the big names/next big things department. At this point I shouldn’t need to rely on Old Soul Artists (Mavis Staples, Dennis Coffey, Charles Bradley, hell, even Hall & Oates!) to provide my hardcore jollies at a big Seattle music festival, but I guess it’s come to …
If this is true, it’s a fantastic historical document. Who would have recorded this, the FBI?
Here’s Jimmy Kimmel’s touching tribute to his Uncle Frank, a 20 year New York cop and 20 year Caesar’s Palace Security guard, who passed away recently and was part of Jimmy Kimmel Live. Frank was so natural on camera that, if I had seen any of these skits the first time around, I would have …
Chapter Twenty-One “Bloody hell! How could you forget that?” “Me? You’re the one pouring champagne down my throat. For some reason you find amusement getting me drunk. La vache! I better not be up the duff. A baby would spoil everything.” “Fucking right about that. What about that new pill that prevents pregnancy?” “I’d be …

Love this. It reminds me of those mornings when you are just not with it. You keep thinking of the hairstyle someone is wearing or what you are going to eat after church. Pretty bad, I know. – Natasha Spence “Sometimes When we worship, we don’t really mean it. This is what it would look …
Chapter Nineteen I sat stunned. Did I hear right or was I wishing so hard I imagined it? I was catapulted back to reality when everyone with me yelled, “You won!” Keith grabbed me for a quick kiss, whispering something like love conquers all. My mother took about a hundred pictures and I was sure …
He went by many names- Rice, Willie, Footsie, The Goat. His real name may have been Aleck Miller. He claimed to be the well-known bluesman Sonny Boy Williamson. When it was pointed out to him that this was another man, he insisted he had adopted the name first. Of course he was an imposter, but …
To anyone attending the Minnesota State Fair for the first time, it may seem like a typical oversized Midwest Extravaganza, with all its appealing and not so appealing aspects. People of all ages, shapes and sizes milling around the fairgrounds with every sort of food imaginable-usually on a stick. Hawkers of wares, of good and …
Chapter Seventeen “All our fucking instruments were stolen. The van is all smashed. Bloody hell!” Ryan continued. “Everything’s fucking gone! How the hell will I explain this to my dad.” “We’ll meet you in the lobby,” I said. Ryan left and Keith slammed the door. “Fuckin’ aye! My brand new Telecaster! I’ve wanted that guitar …
I went to see Walter Trout at House of Blues in Chicago on Friday, Sept. 2. And I must say, Trout is one excellent performer to see live. Be sure to go out and see him when he comes to your town. I’m not a big guitar hero guy, but when you can play a …
Taylor Dayne – Love Will Lead You Back – Great Sex Can Make You Seriously Delusional, By Gail Worley
“Love Will Lead You Back” By Taylor Dayne Key Lyric: “In my heart I know, love will lead you back.” The Message: Great sex can make you seriously delusional. When it comes to matters of the heart, I don’t believe in second chances. Likewise, I would strongly advise anyone against reconciling with a lover who …
Whatever she’s singing, Alanis Morissette’s voice fosters instant 90s nostalgia:
I’ve been listening to Tommy Keene and in particular last year’s “Tommy Keene You Hear Me, Retrospective 1983-2009.” I have always leaned toward [1989 album] “Based on Happy Times” over [1986 album] “Songs From the Film.” The cello (!) riff alone on the title track, as I told said Mr Keene, ought to be sampled …
For some reason, many Facebookers were mourning the passing of Bob Denver and posting news of his death as if it had happened today when in fact it took place six years ago. MSNBC story is here.
