Here’s someone who has that ubiquitous almost famous look, like he was in a band, or has been there/done that, but nobody can quite spot/identify him. I keep running into him, and then saw him on record store day leafing thru stuff at Sound Fix in the Village. Some fan stared at him a bit …

Was saddened to hear that REM had announced they were breaking up. Sad that they wouldn’t be playing again? Uh, no. I cant remember the last time they were absolutely essential. Decent stuff, sure sure, but not the break down the doors/get in line @ Tower records variety. Sad that they felt the need to …
Williamsburg hipsters from Greenpoint to Bedford-Stuyvesant have been flocking in droves to hear tributes to The Ink Spots at local watering holes and music venues. From what we can gather, a full-scale revival Ink Spots revival is in progress. “This has gone critical,” sneered one local Williamsburg hipster standing outside the Trash Bar. “Yeah, we’re …
I think many people would enjoy this. It’s a self created pet photo book in potentially vivid color. You order online and they send it to you. I haven’t tried it. I don’t know if it works. Thanks to Dennis Shin, who adds, “I’d buy the book above with the dude in shades, even tho …
Regine Chassagne from Arcade Fire walked past me earlier while I was chatting in the street with members of Alpine, then found myself standing next to Peter Buck at the Continental in SoCo. Spent some time at Alejandro Escovedo’s showcase, then rounded off the night by being guest listed (thanks to Dennis Shin) for the …

Combining multiple styles, genres, and even languages, …
‘Look at Your Game Girl’ by Charlie Manson is a problem. Marilyn Manson never wrote a song as good as ‘Look at Your Game Girl’. That is a demo and Marilyn never sang as well as that on a major label release. Most of Charles Manson’s songs are trash. But he has one diamond that …
I just found out the reggae singer Bunny Brown just passed away. He was the first one at Sly & Robbie’s studio that pulled me aside and wanted to hear what I had to say as a songwriter, and to just be friends. The last time we spoke we talked about working more on this …
Seattle guitar stalwart and dare I say legend, Stingshark Sting is laying down guitar on collaborations for ‘Going South’ and ‘Life Yard’. Working with Stingshark and Hold in Fyah is a big deal to me. I am doing some really cool Jamaican collaborations, but this is the part of West Indian Rock where we bring it all back home …
You might want to stay tuned the next three weeks on my return to Jamaica. I spent every day since my return getting ready to go back, and I am still not ready. How could I be? This cover represents what happened on my first dance with Jam Rock. It was like a novel about …
“Ava taught him how to sing a torch song. She taught him the hard way.” —Nelson Riddle The idea is that Frank Sinatra’s impossible, unresolvable romantic relationship with Ava Gardner—for whom he left his wife at a time (1950) when it simply wasn’t done; to whom he was married for a brief, tumultuous period (1951–53*); …

MH: OMG, I almost managed a morning start! Not quite pre-noon, although I did manage to get back down to 6th Street in order to catch Feathers play a lunch-time slot. I was curious about these. Their PR image is of a very glossy 4-girl band, almost too glamorous to be real, and I’d been …
PD: Friday morning came like a dull thud. Fell out of bed and down to breakfast just before the kitchen shut. The morning was more challenging than any previous that week, and I hated missing perfectly good sets starting at noon, but there are only so many 03.00 roll-ins one can manage without deleterious effect …
And here it is. As if you didn’t have enough to do… I have launched a second blog, which can be found at http://www.burningluv.blogspot.com/ Why Burning Love?? Burning Wood (my original blog) is approaching its 4th year, and if there is one thing I’ve learned in four years, aside from how many of you hate …
Is there any justice in this world that I get a rare (for me) head cold and end up feeling punk all week – the week my beloved Flogging Molly are playing? This proves a negation of God. No god would be so cruel as to make my bi-annual head cold coincide with such an …
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 …
Just in case you didn’t see this today: JOHN LYDON’S TOP OF THE POPS ROOTS REGGAE PICKS: http://www.dangerousminds.net/comments/john_lydons_top_of_the_pops_roots_reggae_picks/ It’s been interesting to read in the Keith Richards book how very deep into reggae he was/is too. Of course, I knew about Peter Tosh opening for The Stones, living in Keith’s house, and Keith’s pad in …
