To hold fans over until they tour this spring, Kathleen Hanna’s The Julie Ruin has released this video for their song titled, “Goodnight Goodbye”. It’s a retro-coolish peek into The Julie Ruin’s touring adventures and was shot on Super 8 film in Olympia, WA last year. I love how it works as a superfantastic 1994 …
Your credit score is an important factor that will determine your credit worthiness. Thus, it is important that you should be aware of your credit score. Anyone who wishes to keep track of their credit score can do it the old fashioned way—through the 3-company reporting system. But there are newer methods introduced every year. …
Are you an aspiring fashion designer? Do you want your vision and creations to grace runway shows? Before any fashion item gets to the glossy pages of magazines, they are first translated from the minds of the designers to their drawing boards. Your designs are born on paper and if you want to embrace the …
Despite their second-round series loss to the San Antonio Spurs, the 2013 NBA playoffs were truly a coming-out party for Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors. Since 1994—basically a generation—the Warriors had been one of the least relevant franchises in all of sports, with the exception of an upset against the Dallas Mavericks in …
Monday night was a night of action all over the country to protest the newly released environmental analysis that the proposed Keystone Pipeline will not increase global warming. What hasn’t been mentioned is that said analysis was written by a company with deep ties to the oil industry and the company that wants to build …
When it comes to gifts, it’s true that it’s the thought that counts. But for two people who are starting a new life and building a new home, you may want to give something that they can use and appreciate. Although gift giving is not mandatory, but if you are giving a gift to the …
These two are cousins from General Santos City in the Philippines. Their names are Aldrich Lloyd Talonding and James Walter Bucong. One of their early Youtube videos went viral and they were invited to come to the US to perform on The Ellen Degeneres Show, where they were given gifts of money and instruments. The …
This is the best band playing live today. I honestly cannot say enough in praise of this touring group. I have been there at the Chicago Winery shows the last two times through Chicago. No new record? Not needed when you have a catalogue like IH does. Oh and it is so sweet to have …
It’s a Tuesday night and four great ska bands play to a sparse but energetic crowd at El Corazon. The night was headlined by the legendary NYC band, The Toasters. I first saw The Toasters in 1996 at the Bumbershoot festival, but spent much of the time chasing my then six-year-old son around. I have …
50 years ago The Beatles were introduced to America. Aside from their music, which still stands on its own merits, they helped launch what we now think of as The Sixties. They didn’t start it, of course. After all, the other strands were there — the yearnings for racial equality, artistic restlessness, and a burgeoning …
Goodnight Pete Seeger. One hates to think of the songs that might disappear with his passing. Like us all he got some things wrong…his reaction to “electric” Dylan for example. But his belief in hand-made, rooted music as a progressive force was infinite and inspiring. – Chris Eckman Pete Seeger’s Wikipedia Page No Depression Obituary …
They are a self-described “Band of Goddesses working for peace.” Dellamae.com
Alice in Chains’ “Man in the Box” is a staple of ‘90s hard rock that no musician has dared try to genre bend – until now. Featured on their upcoming album Four Foot Shack, which will be out February 4, Les Claypool’s Duo de Twang has created a rootsy, banjo-filled rendition of the track that …
This is from last spring. I remember Darius Rucker making promotional appearances around that time, but it didn’t register with me that “Wagon Wheel” was the pull tune. It’s a nice version and a pleasant video. It’s hard to go wrong with “the new Brown-Eyed Girl.”
We’re 45 years past this, but it’s a nice little rediscovery: See also – The Weight is Americana Rock’s Favorite Cover

Next year is the 20th anniversary of Tomorrow the Green Grass. It seems like a lot more than 20 years. Twenty lifetimes maybe. This pre-9/11 video looks like it was filmed long ago in a happier parallel universe. And yet, the images fit the sounds perfectly: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e4ioiFqPqnQ
I tip my hat to the large man who thought up the idea for this photo. He is truly a pug lover, a friend to animals, and an individual who understands the Internet… http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/sideshow/man-in-dog-shirt-poses-with-dog-in-man-shirt-214849356.html
Twenty-two years ago, on David Letterman’s 10th Anniversary show, Jan. 18, 1992, at Radio City Music Hall, Bob Dylan and a host of musicians performed “Like a Rolling Stone.” In addition to Dylan, the musicians included Chrissie Hynde (guitar, harmony vocals), Sid Mcginnsss (guitar), Steve Vai (guitar), Carole King (piano), Paul Schaffer (Hammond organ), Edgar …
To anyone who saw the Seattle Seahawks beat down the San Francisco 49ers in the second half of the recently concluded NFC Championship Game, the surprise was not that the 49ers lost, but that they came so close to sending the 12th Man home to an off-season of wailing and gnashing of teeth. Instead, with …
My second concert of 2014 brought me back to Showbox Market to experience the utmost pleasure of seeing Reel Big Fish for about the sixth time and Suburban Legends for the second time. This double bill was not to be missed. Reel Big Fish are tight musically. They’re excellent musicians with a top rate horn …
This is from 2011, but if you haven’t seen it yet, it’s worth a look. The man in the vid is Charlie Bird, an Irish television journalist.
Phlebotomy is a specialized discipline which involves the skill of drawing blood from patients for laboratory testing. Phlebotomists are trained health technicians who have sufficient skills to ensure that the blood samples from patients are taken and handled in the safest manner.

Please listen to the song below as it is quite excellent and will appear on All the Pretty Things, an album from Decatur, Illinois sensation Ashley Riley which is set to be released 2/18/14. Ms. Riley hosts an open mic night in Decatur and through this she has been able to revitalize the underground singer-songwriter …
Robert Downey Jr makes showbiz magic with “Driven to Tears.” Originally released 34 years ago, this thought-provoking tune, essentially a plea for global sharing, comes across with more white soul cocktail activist power in this version than it did on Zenyatta Mondatta back in the day where it rocked in an interesting little jazzy groove …
My first concert of 2014 and I’m at the Showbox Market to take in some psychobilly. The now legendary Reverend Horton Heat headlined with Nekromantix and Old Man Markley opening. >Hailing from Dallas, TX, The Reverend (real name James Heath) played a mean Gretsch guitar while Jimbo Wallace slapped viciously away at his upright bass, …
The online magazine Grantland featured a farewell essay to Candlestick Park, where the San Francisco 49ers played their final game on Week 16 before winning three more games on the road to earn themselves their third straight trip to the NFC Championship Game. The essay, titled “Closing the Cave of the Winds,” is notable not …
