The View from Gable End (Free subscription) | 02/07/2010
I was thinking the other day about the future, and past, of Rock 'n' Roll (more specifically, Rock) and wondering whether it had finally run its course.

Amazing to think then, that it is still around today, 60 years after Bill Haley burst onto the scene. Whilst...

Simona from Briciole is hosting this edition of Weekend Herb Blogging and this week I've felt the urge to play with pandan leaves . Pandan Leaf comes from Pandanus amaryllifolius, otherwise known as the Screwpine Tree and is used as a flavouring where it imparts a fairly ethereal aroma to dishes. It's the type of flavour that is hard to describe but you know when it has been used. The leaf isn't eaten,...

Dan McAvinchey: Borislav, looking back, when did you first get interested in guitar, and how did you learn and progress as a player? Borislav Mitic: I started to get into rock music and guitar at the age of 11. Although I grew up in the era of players like Yngwie, Satriani and Vai I approached the instrument almost as if I was coming from the '70s. So first I learned blues and classic rock stuff like...

John Hallam (clt/ten/bar), Jeremy McMurray (pno), Andy Champion (bs), Roly Veitch (gtr), John Hirst (dms). When I was young(er) if someone had asked me to choose my dream concert line-up I may well have came up with; Artie Shaw's Gramercy 5, the Stan Getz Quartet/Quintet, the Gerry Mulligan Quartet and possibly a Benny Goodman small group. Nobody ever did ask me and, although they are now all dead,...

Screwtop Wine Bar opened in Arlington, VA right before the 2009 holidays.

The atmosphere was fun—casual, quaint, and neighborhoody—with limited seating, but an overall good vibe. Our waitress...

I'm sitting here watching the snow fall on the kale growing in my backyard. It's pretty deep purple kale, almost black in the night, and it could probably be eaten but I like to let it grow into the spring, when it shoots up 3 feet tall with yellow blossoms. The kale I'm eating came from the farmer's market, where an entire armful cost on $2. And you know what you should be doing right now? Yes, you,...

Spitfire Records was a label that started putting out a lot of stuff in 1999. They essentially focused on hard rock and heavy metal: Dio, Alice Cooper, Testament, Raven, Twisted Sister, Zakk Wylde's different projects, Overkill, etc. They were...
