Hi Brit, It occurred to me, while I was checking email and cruising some of our friends’ blogs, that it might be interesting to share a little background information. In particular, I’d find it interesting to know what songs our readers are listening to. I’ll share first, while I was thinking about writing this post I played: Los [...]

And not just in politics. I'm not sure any of these could get in the door of a major record company by talent alone, any more. George Thorogood Janis Joplin Meatloaf Freddy Mercury?

I spent some time with friends in Seattle last week, now on my way home.... Sitting in the Minneapolis airport, where, when I got off the plane, I saw George Thorogood just hanging out. Probably waiting for a plane. Couldn't mistake him. There are few people who reach that level of ugly. Had this been '88 instead of '08, it would have done us both a bit of justice.... Speaking of which, I didn't wash...

No, the new Birdmonster song isn't a George Thorogood or Tommy Conwell cover. It happens to be a hot little driving guitar number in the tradition of The Wedding Present and 20th Century Man-era Kinks. Nice. It comes from their forthcoming album, From The Mountain To The Sea which will be released on the FADER Label digitally on August 5, and record stores on September 2. Does anybody record stores?...

Jesus, how many fucking music montages are necessary in this movie? I’ll tell you, one, and that’s a big maybe. I’m not a fan of long music montages to get a point or an emotion across. We get it, you’re sad. If a guy goes out, buys a motorcycle and they set it to Born to Be Wild or a stupid George Thorogood song, I’m cool with that. But the over-dramatic, long sequences of someone walking down a dark,...

If you want barbecue in New York City these days, you have to ask yourself what kind you're craving. You can get down & dirty barbecue - sauce on your T-shirt - at Dinosaur BBQ. You can get artisanal barbecue - sauce on your business suit - at Blue Smoke. But if you want breezy barbeque - sauce on your white leather banquette - you should try Wildwood BBQ, a few blocks from Blue Smoke in Gramercy Park....

Eating at Wildwood is like eating at a theme park called Barbecue Land - big faux barn, dish towel-size napkins, jam jar glasses, firewood stacked against the wall. Over the youthful roar at the bar, you can hear George Thorogood singing "Bad to the Bone."
