Don't let us hear that life is taking you nowhere because The Best Cuts of Music has just turned 50! Hosts Robe Flax and Sam Houser reminisce on their times gone by, past episodes, and that telethon they had to raise money back around episode 3. It was a fun time and was integral to the future success of the show. They took calls, had some acts, and had to apologize for interrupting the regular...

I'm keyed up, and not just because it's Funky Friday - although that should be enough of a reason. I'm going to my first Bootie event in Los Angeles tomorrow night. (Members of the San Francisco crew that launched Bootie - usually DJs Adrian and the Mysterious D - host and spin tracks at the monthly editions of the mash-up party held in L.A. and New York City, not to mention the occasional over...

...it's the birthday of legendary concert promoter Bill Graham born Wolfgang Grajonca in Berlin, Germany in 1931. A Jew, he was forced to flee Berlin at the age of ten, crossing Europe primarily on foot to escape the rising shadow of the Nazi regime-- he'd end up in a orphanage in NY and was adopted by an American couple who lived in the Bronx. Later, after serving in the Korean War he wound up...

Last weekend the New York Times Week in Review featured a misleading story on the "Golden Years" of Afghanistan. I was there; they're weren't a golden age. They were kind of Bronze Age. Elisabeth Bumiller, the writer, was once voted the Worst Campaign Journalist of 2004. She's gotten worse with time-- unless her beat is Moth Goose tales. I've got the full Afghanistan version of this story at Do...

...at long last, the big bear's back in Los Angeles and his paws are poised for typing (A,S,D,F...J,K,L, semicolon, yo)...instead of going straight home, I got a hotel room in the BH on Wilshire (and while I was snoozing/ decompressing, apparently Nicole Richie passed out in a trendy bar a couple of blocks away)...with the laptop down I had to revert back to the quill & inkwell and scribe all o...

Well now I've got plenty of hot tracks to spew on here, some of which are obscure and widely unknown. But since I'm new and I'm trying to win the hearts of like minded moggers, so I'm going to choose a definite hit!He may have been peaking on coke at this time in his career but Bowie was productive through and through. This track has some authentic soul sound and cries "good times".

There is something about when David Bowie decides to lay down a groove that makes my whole world go round. You know, I can admit that I'm not the kind of Bowie fan that knows every obscure non-radio track. I'm a casual, radio-lite, Bowie's Greatest kind of listener and yet...

Thanks to Heath Ledger, I now enjoy listening to Golden Years by David Bowie. In "A Knight's Tale", including some of my favorite actors (like that guy from "Wimbledon" that I totally blanked on his name)- anyway, not my point. Ya... I guess I don't really have one.
