I have been toying with an idea for awhile, it is to post a series about the city I live in, Bethlehem, PA. While it's not my birth city, (don't really have one unless you count Kuhnsville pop. 98) Bethlehem is where I have hung my hat since my service days. This burg at the foothills of the Blue Mountains and the Pocono Plateau nestled in the bottom of the Lehigh Valley, Pennsylvania.As anywhe...

Track:Green Onions (Live at the 5/4 Ballroom)
I suppose I should be grateful that I was whisked away from the hot city during the summertime as a kid, but lately I've been harboring some resentment, because in my mid-teen years, when I was most consumed by music and starting to go to shows, the most exciting stuff went on from July 4th through Labor Day, and I was sequestered in a bungalow colony. So I didn't get to see all the amazing sho...

Continuing on from yesterday's cat ears

Artist:
This isn't so much guess the artist again but if you caught my post from yesterday the following is an image returned from a search for Booker T. & the MG's and appearantly Booker T. Jones is not so content with retirement having gone onto pro-wrestling. You've got to hand it to the man, he's got his own action figure and seems to have trimed years from his appearance. All this and a world-clas...

So I didn't get any music for Christmas. None. Nothing. Nada. Zippo. But I did get something even better....Yay, my own little music hub with turntable, CD Player, reciever, and speakers! Until now, I've had to use my dad's turntable if I wanted to play any vinyl. He's now passed that turntable on to me along with his old CD player in favor for a new one (he's a hi-fi freak). The reciev...

Track:
I'm Scott. I listen to a lot of music of the "mod" variety, including vintage rock, soul, R&B, reggae, ska, punk, psych, funk, and on and on. I'll post something now and then about something I've heard that inspired me. Let's start with "Slum Baby", a single from July 1969 by Booker T. & the MG's. I don't have much to say about it, but I think you should hear it.

Man its finals week, and you know how those could be. I just racked in serious hours of studying and decided "Fuck! I need a break." Its been raining all week and the weather that comes with it doesn't exactly help. I look outside the window and look for some kind of song to put me in the mood while I chillax and snack for a bit. "Hmmm...rain...Oh I know..." Actually the thinking process here ...
