Hey gang,This Summer's been an interesting one! I've been on a long and treacherous journey filled with convicts, Cossacks, highwaymen of all sorts, gunfighters, Indian healers, Bulgarian mental patients, Estonian sorceresses, Moldovan muraders, Portuguese BMX riders, Lithuanian office managers, and I think there was a Norwegian black metaler or two. Nonetheless, I've obtained a fresh perspect...

Road trips can be the stuff of legends and nothing beats working an entire week, while knowing you will be leaving on one on the following Friday. While making sure you remember to pack all the essentials, the music you bring is even more important. I had a road trip planned 8 years ago to see my then girlfriend in Ottawa, Canada. From Minneapolis, I figured it would be about a 21 hour drive. N...

The tour's first stop at the Boston Arena on April 10, 1970 will be available for the first time as a three-disc set. .

...I'll jump the gun on my Funky Friday post by throwing this on...what can I say, Ioves that older, analog shite and I'll be the first to tell you that when I think of Funk, images of Jim Morrison don't immediately come to mind for most, but I must say that for a moment, at least on one track, the one I'm posting below, Mr. Mojo Risin and his crew got stanky widdit...I was reminded of it, for ...
