The past week had more than its share of unexpected delights on the club circuit in the City by the Bay, not the least of which was my first in-concert exposure to country-flavored Los Angeles-based ensemble Leslie and the Badgers at the cozy, no-hassle Hotel Utah bar (http://mog.com/Mike_the_Knife/blog_post/175399). And, during the most recent Saturday night edition of the Bootie mash-up party...

Twangfest Day Three
over 2 years ago

The third day of Twangfest was the twangiest of the four - which still wasnt that twangy (hey, it seemed like a good name ten years ago).The Linemen opened with a set of country ballads along the lines of Thad Cockrell.

over 2 years ago

Man, it's been a bit since I've mogged, but I have to let everyone know that if you get a chance to see Graham Parker and the Latest Clowns this summer, DO IT! I saw them at the great Old Town School of Folk Music theater in the second of two sold-out shows.

I walked into my sisters house and this was blasting on the sound system"So what is it about?" I askedShe said, well, Graham said " Hieronymus Bosch was a Flemish artist from the whatever century whose most famous work (a triptych), "The Garden Of Earthly Delights," is on display at the Prado museum in Madrid.

friday random ten, 1976 edition

1. Bob Seger, "Rock & Roll Never Forgets." Bob Seger never forgot anything, either ... he always sounded nostalgic. At the time, he was often compared to fellow "Heartland Rocker" Bruce Springsteen, but while something like Born to Run compiles everything that ever came before it into a glorious sonic trash heap, Bruce is always headed out on the road to see what's next.
