When most people think of Mount Everest they think of Sir Edmund Hillary, whom the history books say got there first, sometimes conveniently omitting the name of the one guy who made Hillary's feat possible: Tenzing Norgay. While the Hillary name is emblazoned on mountaineering/ camping equipment, to a lot of folks the name Norgay has gotten lost between the raindrops but the truth is that if i...
Both my cd players are ingetting repaired so i am back to vinyl(thats cool with me) and this is an old favourite that stands the test of time-Is it still biggest selling live record of all time?
so, for some reason i own a mirror with peter frampton's head screenprinted on it. it says frampton above his head and it is obvious that it is a black ink reproduction of the frampton comes alive album cover. why i own this, i do not know. i got it at a thrift store for $10 dollars. the store is called all things possible and i believe their name only because of this frampton mirror. i have al...

Black Hole Sun - (featuring Matt Cameron/Mike McCready)
I should be eating Humble Pie for thinking this show would be merely "OK". It wasn't; it was among the best I'd seen at this venue where I work a few shows a month.It was clear why Framton's career didn't bloom until he put out a live album that outsold every live album before or since. He's a performer.Don't get me wrong, I appreciate artists. But face it, an artist who is not a performer i...
So I signed up to work during a Peter Frampton show at the Keswick Theatre tomorrow. I was never a big Frampton fan during his heyday, but he was OK. I figured "what the hell; check it out". He sounded good sitting in with Pearl Jam in 2004.On Tuesday, I found out he was releasing new material that day - why not pick it up and get a preview of what to expect Saturday.Fingerprints is surprisi...
So the song Baby I Love Your Way just came on, and of course I thought of High Fidelity, the scene where John Cusack walks up to the club entrance, hears Lisa Bonet singing a cover, and says to the bouncer, "Is that Peter fucking Frampton?". Does a movie exist with more great music-related dialogue than High Fidelity?And I'm not apologizing for listening to Peter fucking Frampton. I mean, come ...
Modern Guitars Magazine has an interview with Peter Frampton . About Fingerprints , the instrumental album that reinstated him as a serious guitar player:To me it was like a different career, the start of something new.
