Here's a Funky Friday post for Saturday. Funkadelic wasn't perfect, but they were definitely something. This song takes me away. When the guy sings a harmonica solo, well that's pretty great. The other thing that gets me is the whole story in the song - about wandering around and just being captured by some random music at a random time, when it just sucks you in. THAT is a great feeling.

I got an iPhone Friday night. Funny thing, with all those people waiting in line all around the country, I just waited until 9pm, drove to the Apple store in the local mall, walked up to the counter, and bought an 8gb iPhone. Now its a long story, but part of the transaction involves me making sure that there is ice cream in the refrigerator at all times for the next year.Now as great as the ...

There are six pages of posts about the Clash on Mog. Seems like London Calling is the most commonly blogged, with The Clash, Combat Rock, and Sandinista with a few posts each. And then, heaven forbid, a few references to The Singles, or This is Radio Clash. But, surprisingly, I didn't see a single post about Give 'Em Enough Rope!To remedy this collective oversight, here's a post with "Guns o...

The song really speaks for itself, but you know that kind of tired you get when you start drinking at 1pm in the afternoon, down a few glasses of wine, then a lot of beer, eat too much, then kind of end up dozing on the couch? Yeah, that's me.Now, because of the holiday entertaining, every corner I turn holds some temptation that will only make matters worse - more beer, wine, chocolate (lots of

Or Straight-edge, or Posi-core, or whatever you call it.Moment of cynicism: if everyone who says they were into Minor Threat, was really into Minor Threat, they would have sold a million.

Or surf punk, or whatever the hell you want to call it. 25 years ago this is what Orange County, CA had to offer pop culture. Now its "The O.C." and the "The Real Housewives". WTF???

Great singer, lousy organist. Listen to this live Elizabeth Reed from the Fillmore album. There's a pretty good guitar solo (Dickey), then this lousy boring organ solo, then a smoking hot guitar solo (Duane). Gregg got so bad in the middle 70's that they had to bring Chuck Leavell in on keys to make up for it. So this is during his "good" days.I guess I'm in a glass half-empty mood cause the s

A while back I was flipping stations and came across a show about a music festival. I don't remember the name of the festival, or the show, but the theme was "accordion music is cool". So they showed all these young accordion players playing in various styles, and they were pretty hip (like Judy Tenuta was hip with an accordion). Then the Zydeco kid came on, and just blew the others away. You

If you live in the Northeast, you've been experiencing a real breath of fresh air. The temperature broke 40 - went over 70 in fact and it seems like summer may be here. So I had the windows down and the sunroof open and needed the right song to play. Now, this is a tough decision - you want something that you'll feel cool having pump out of your windows and something that really captures the sp
