First of all, you should know that no one in the Alabama 3 is from Alabama. (They're Brits, pardner.) And, as heard on the retrospective/compilation Hits and Exit Wounds, this strangely eclectic and somewhat mysterioso ensemble is so much more than its sinister, insinuating signature song "Woke Up This Morning" - world-renowned as the theme to "The Sopranos," one of the greatest television prog...

A quiet Sunday follows the last ultimate hoorah, a SXSW Saturday. I’ll miss it all, especially the catching up with old friends who flew down from all points on the map and the constant blaring of live music from every direction.

A press release I received today claims the founding members met at a house party in London where one was "singing Hank Williams songs over pounding house beats." OK, I'm intrigued!

Well, we've just about reached another landmark in the world of TV. On Sunday, HBO will air the final episode of the critically-acclaimed drama series The Sopranos.Being of Italian-American lineage, I never was really all that bothered by the stereotypes used in the show, as it wasn't the first time I had seen Italian-Americans portrayed in a less than glorious light in a Hollywood production a...
