Has Any Rocker Gotten More Mileage Out of His or Her Hair Than Brian Jones?
-
Artist:
"We must find the killer of those silken locks!"There's no hidden objective in this question: has any rocker gotten more mileage out of his or her hair than Brian Jones? Forty years after his death London police are reopening the case surrounding what had originally been ruled an accidental drug overdose. From the little I've gleaned in various reports on these new developments, this has someth...

Hear Factor, deux: Turning Congolese
If there's one thing we know about a number of us, there's nothing we like better than being turned onto music from a foreign culture (and I don't mean Canada or England, Townsmen mockcarr, andyr, chickenfrank, et al). If there's something I'm even more sure of, there's a larger number of us who shy away from anything that's not rock 'n roll, sung in English, etc. (And none of you is off the ho...

Townspeople: May Your Haughty Comments on The Beatles Rock Band Commence!
-
Artist:Townspeople
A friend passed along this promo video for the upcoming Beatles edition of Rock Band. The daddy long legs aspect of the band members' animated characters freaked me out a bit, but this looks like it will be fun to play with my boys. For our purposes, I thought I'd run this clip to allow you to begin sniffing at historical/chronological inaccuracies and other things that promise to bug the likes...

Clash of the Titans!
-
Artist:Spencer Albee
Coming events!While vacationing in Maine last week I attended a Tuesday night Clash of the Titans show that a Portland man about town named and musician Spencer Albee and DJ Mark Curdo promote every Tuesday night at a club called Empire Dine and Dance. Each week, two sets of local musicians cover about a half dozen songs by artists who are paired against each other for either their once-contemp...

Hear Factor, deux: Heavy Duty
-
Artist:Hear factor
The title of this mix pretty much says it all. This Hear Factor excursion is not for the lovers of twee who patrol the Halls of Rock, and for that reason it's vital that those of you who prefer more melodic, tender sounds man up and deal with this mix!Heavy Duty (~65 MB)For this mix, I SUMMON Townsman Northvancoveman!This is not to say that our Canadian friend is some soft-rock sop - not by any...

What if I told you I prefer this mash-up to either song on it's own?

Track:
I was recently accused of being the Townsperson with the worst taste in music by E. Pluribus (something that he even "respected" in some way)This post will certainly condemn me to this "highest of honors" (and maybe a .38 Special Box Set?, some Billy Joel bootlegs? A picture disc of Mick Jagger's She's The Boss?)Ok, here it goes.....I PREFER this mash-up to either song on it's ownIgnore the vid...

Hear Factor, deux: A Bit Off
Here's another mix that hints at a type of Olde Time music, but of the English variety. For some reason, this nation's old-fashioned music seems less foreign than my own country's pre-rock music. Must be something about English envy.This is a collection of rock music, mind you, but I think some of you will find it challenging.A Bit Off (~61 MB)For this mix, I SUMMON none other than one of our p...

Boogie Gone Bad
As many of you know, I loves me some Brian Jones-era Stones and I loves me some boogie, but prepare yourself for boogie gone bad.Really, if you've never seen this before, take it from me and don't get your hopes up. Original post blogged on b2evolution.

Hear Factor, deux: Live, Scratchy Vinyl
Live albums...one of the rock industry's key stopgap measures for bands lacking inspiration...one of rock band's key moves toward quickly exhausting a contractual obligation. What rock nerd hasn't bought a live album? What rock nerd spends much time spinning that live album within weeks of each purchase? They often came packaged in gatefold album sleeves back in the day, which had their use.I w...
