Is there anybody out there?

I have been blogging now since January 2010. I think maybe 2 people have ever visited or read it. But I don't mind, it's more me playing DJ, something I SHOULD have pursued in my youth. I'll post a song/video that inspires me and I talk about why... Pretty simple, maybe it's boring, or maybe my taste in music is too fringe/eclectic for the masses. And I don't care. I've never been interested in what's "popular", I like artists/bands that are doing their own thing, doing something different and NOT trying to sound like____________. Fill in the blank,the flavor of the month! That type of MOR music has never held my interest, and isn't something (with rare exceptions) you'll find me talking about. But take a few minutes, these posts are chock full of new artists, old favorites, and rediscovery. If you love music like I do, come check me out! Dig the fabulous guitar work on this one! Seeing Pink Floyd live at the Rose Bowl in 1995 was as my friend Kalani said, "a religious experience!"

What a Drag it is getting old...!

The Go Go's cover The Stones song Mother's Little Helper. The girls rock hard live, and they look great too! As Jane said, "sometimes when you get old, you get a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame!"

Chrissie breaks all the rules on this one! Check out the time/beat changes in this song. It's fast, furious and fantastic! Precious!

The Pretenders- My City Was Gone!

I love the Pretenders!! Today my friend Jackie sent me a text commanding that I listen to The Sound 100.3 NOW! They were (are) playing classic concerts from over the years, the Pretenders were on and they reminded her of ME! So I immediately dialed in, and got into it!. I LOVE the base line that runs through this entire song! I first saw the Pretenders with the original line up in 1981 @ the Santa Monica Civic with friends I worked with at Mayfair Pool. Needless to say it brought back many fond memories hearing them live today. Not only of the friends, but of Chrissie and the band too. I've since seen the Pretenders a couple of other times as well. Chrissie always looks the same and she ALWAYS kicks ass! Enjoy!! Thanks Jackie!!

Love Is A Losing Game

Obviously, I can't stop listening to this woman's music. This one, sadly is the story of my life...

RIP Amy Winehouse... Better Late Than Never

If you don't know her music, or you've only heard "Rehab", then you've missed out on a truly talented artist. Amy Winehouse had a voice and she had a disease called addiction. I believe she was treated unfairly by the press, and the English tabloid press has a ruthless reputation. I find this song Back to Black (the whole cd in fact!) to be fantastic! Amy had a look and sound straight out of the 60's Girl Groups, Beehive 'do and heavy eyeliner? Check out this pic of the Ronette's!
