Was checking out rapper Eyedea & Abilities myspace page that someone I met at a store yesterday played for me. I liked them and checked out their record label site Rhymesayers Entertainment(http://www.rhymesayers.com/). When there I saw there was a FREE ep available from Atmosphere. I downloaded it and am loving it. Check out the red button song above to hear a song off the new ep.Here's a song...

So a few months back in January, I came across the group Grand Duchy but don't recall how. Grand Duchy is Violet Clark and her better known husband Frank Black of Pixies fame. Their album was to be released in February. Later in January things fell to shit when my best friend passed away and everything changed. I understandably forgot about Grand Duchy. But just last week I got an email from Am...

Hell, press play and read on.I've been a 'fan' of Harley Newman for better than 20 years. Ever since my friend John Tunney and I saw him hanging upside down wearing a straight jacket in Lockridge Park. As the story goes John and I were walking in Lockridge when saw this nut trying to escape a straight jacket while another cat was shooting pictures. We stopped and watched the free show. Not at a...

I'm here to share my Violent Femmesy frame of mind.and this favourite quote:"Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming 'Wow What a Ride'" - Hunter S. Thompson

Some more symphonic metal (prog) for a Sunday evening. Buckle up- this is a fun 9 minute ride. SILVER LINING is a French Progressive rock band, coming from the city of Lyon.

A few days ago, Cody B posted some tracks by 1940s gospel singer/guitarist Reverend Utah Smith. Tonight, i am returning to the music of the Lord, and to Jamaica.Most books that purport to tell the history of Jamaican music present it as more or less a linear progression; r'n'b to ska, to rocksteady, to reggae, to rockers, to dancehall and ragga. This, however, airbrushes a whole set of strands ...

I heard this and thought I had stumbled upon something, but then I check out some more of their stuff and it seems this may be the gem amongst them.

This CD is an amazing listen, if you like symphonic metal. This is a Dutch Band that has released an incredible live classical/metal hybrid CD. This CD really should be heard in it's entirety, when you have time to sit back and really listen. Click the CD Cover when you are ready for the full experience. Once you get started listening, you won't be able to stop! Best played loud or with headpho...

I downloaded the MOG software, told it where to find the iTunes music collection, and went on to rate tracks, MOG up posts, make posts, etc. My Feed continues to insist that I download the software, which means that the MP3 data hasn't been added to the collective yet. For the moment, I'll let Harry Chapin sing about the subject while I pore through the Sunday newspaper. (I wonder if Kim Jong-I...

Take two: Be kind to your sister. Siblings fight tooth and nail, then reconcile...eventually. (I was a snot-nosed-PITA-devil-boy to my older sister.) On a recent OC16 "Pakele Live!" segment, Natalie Ai Kamauu spoke of her younger sister, who was the wiser one. Natalie introduced this song as a musical apology for forgetting to name her along with the rest of the family upon winning Female Vocal...

It's the morning after all the "explosions in the sky" and loud music at the bandstand. For those getting ready for the rest of the week end, here's something to brighten your day. (Unless you happen to be fans of "Explosions In The Sky" or "The Beatles," that is.) Time to head out to Sandy Beach and check out the surf at Beach 5.

Three months ago I posted William Bell's original recording. The story behind this track is fairly well-known. Formr child star Delroy Wilson's career had been on something of a decline since he had left Coxsone Dodd's Studio One. He had become something of a nomad (perhaps already enjoying too much the drink that eventually killed him at the age of 47), recording for Joe Gibbs, Dynamic, Bunny ...

...and somehow this SUTC post spawned this into my head.... I remember seeing this live on TV (I suppose that's not really live...) and at about 2:30 my hair started to tingle.

Neil Young probably started his twenty-seventh year in the worst possible way. Everything seemed to be looking up on November 12, 1972. Five days later, however, it all started coming apart. The drifting Danny Whitten, the best harmonist Young would ever have (and no slouch on rhythm guitar either) had been invited to join the backing group Young was assembling for his upcoming North American t...
