I…. ummmm… well I just don’t know what’s wrong with me. All I can say is that I heard this song long before I knew this, ahhh, video for it existed. Just listen to it with your eyes closed. For seven minutes. Chock full ‘o shirtless boys, with short shorts, and waaaay too much eye…

Lots o’ piano. Lots o’ multi-track guitar Lot’s o’ kitsch Lot’s o’ “so bad, it’s good” Blog Theme Song – Stark Raving Love

Well, you try waking up to this on the radio when you’re fourteen, sleeping off a kegger, and have no idea where you’re at. At least I didn’t have to suffer through the visuals. But it does sort of explain the way I turned out… And, yeah, I know – it’s not a Fender in…

Two versions of the same song. Both produced by Steinman. Consider: “Once upon a time was a backbeat, Once upon a time all the poets came to life. And the Angels had guitars even before they had wings. If you hold on to a chorus you can get through the night” Or: “You’re never alone,…

Palette Cleanser after a few weeks of the seasonal bludgeondry of Bing Crosby, Andy Williams and all of the other classic songs of joy and mirth (which I enjoy, but, meh, enough). My old Christian Brothers High School classmate Anton Barbeau with a sweet, and pretty, song. Its the most wonderful time of the year!

I remember Toy Matinee, well, Kevin Gilbert really, performing this acoustically at a Sacramento Rawk station (station shall stay nameless because it was mis-managed by a succession of jackholes) back in 1990. Sadly while the song itself was somewhat popular, no record company support, and collaborator disinterest, put the kibosh on any meaningful Toy Matinee…

Ah, The Tubes have always been a guilty pleasure. They are in fact an excellent band, as this live performance indicates. Ponder: Fee Waybill – Carnie Huckster, or Showman? Yes. And Yes. The Tubes, Live in San Francisco, 1983

Still Angsty, but a seemingly happier Elvis. Million selling records can do that for you. From 1983, Everyday I Write The Book
