This week is adding to my good covers list (I like to have a good cover now and then). This week is a band that I have enjoyed for a while. Seether has been making a number of great songs since they started to release music in America. I will post other…
I hate to do this two weeks in a row but I have been a bit busy recently and am not able to give you the quality that I prefer (though I may not be doing that well anyway. I am working on fixing that). So I give you another 2o random selections from my…
To continue my Top 10 Interviews (I hope against hope) I thought I would try and explain why I want to sit down with Weird Al Yankovic (@alyankovic). For starters this is one of the artists that has been in my collection for a long time. I think there are…
This week I bring you a series of videos called the Symphony of Science. I was introduced to this series of videos by a friend of mine and have enjoyed them. This ever expanding series is an interesting way of introducing people to scientific concepts.…
Ok so I’ve been having a bit of writers block recently and am having a hard time coming up with a new post. So what I am going to do is I am going to open up my iTunes and hit random. I see what comes up for the next 20 times. It is a way for me to give…
Today I thought I would start my explanations of my top 10 list of people I want to interview (I Hope Against Hope) with the man on the list that is the stand out name. Penn Jillette (@pennjillette) isn’t usually on many musician top ten lists but he is…
This week I take you back to the late 90′s with a bad that has a sound from way before that. This video is by the Squirrel Nut Zippers. This is a band that I enjoyed because of their throwback sound. I am a big fan of Cab Calloway and enjoy this homage to…
Today I am asking for a bit of crowd participation. I want to know who you are listening to. So please put in the comments the band name and links to all the relevant information (things like youtube vids, facebook fanpages and official webpages). I don’t…
I am endeavoring to bring new music to my readers and this post continues in that manner. Today I want to introduce to you, Billy Swayze. I worked with Billy not to long ago. He’d won a battle of the bands that I was working sound on. It was the best…
On this chapter of Fried Fridays I bring you something from a post from last week (Documentary). This week is Alive by Pearl Jam. I respect them for making their first music video an extension of their live show. It was a good rendition of the song and…
An interesting conversation I was having on Twitter yesterday made me think it may be time to make this post. I feel now that I need to state that Del Preston is a pseudonym. I must also reiterate that Del Preston is a movie character that was played by…
I hope against hope (whatever the hell that means Mr. Brooks)
As I recently reaffirmed my intent with starting this blog I think I ought to say where I intend to go with it. I am wanting to turn this into a rather large blog and eventually into a podcast or vodcast where I am covering music. In that endeavor I have…
For today’s song I give you one from the very early 90′s. This one is from Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers. The music video was one that I really enjoyed. I occasionally watch it for a bit of nostalgia for my childhood. It has a different feel nowadays…
