A Mouthfool. A collection of sounds regularly played in the Fool House, selected by Hianta. So this summer I was a little bit bored by the pool and listening to so much amazing tunes I decided to put them in order and make a new Fairtilizer playlist. (Un)fortunately I was a little bit lazy too, and as [...]

Hooks ‘N’ You: Dave Dill, “Follow the Summer”

Popdose (Free subscription) | 09/29/2008

Pity the publicist who offers up an exaggerated sense of their artist’s sound. I’ve been offering up some semblance of music criticism since I was a senior in high school (Great Bridge HS, class of ‘87, thank you very much), and believe me when I tell you that there’s nothing worse than getting a press release [...]

Gerry Rafferty missing

Eaten by missionaries (Free subscription) | 09/17/2008

Catching up with emails after returning from conference I found myself listening to City to City by Gerry Rafferty. Out of curiosity I check on Wikipedia to see what he is up to these days, and was surprised to read that he is missing, having checked out of St Thomas's Hospital on 11 August leaving his belongings behind. Strangely, though there is hardly anything on the major news websites about it....

CHART ATTACK!: 7/22/78

Popdose (Free subscription) | 07/25/2008

Welcome to another action-packed edition of CHART ATTACK! Overall, I’m pretty psyched about this week. Although a little light on the rock side, I’d say I’m a fan of at least eight of these songs. And here’s something interesting about this week on the Billboard Top 10: Take note of how [...]

Phobia

Good Rockin' Tonight (Free subscription) | 07/08/2008

Today in Music History: In 1978, Gerry Rafferty's album 'City To City' went to No.1 on the US chart, knocking off 'Saturday Night Fever', which had been at the top of the charts for almost six months. Phobia , released in 1993, was the final studio album by The Kinks. Let me tell you folks it is a kriminally overlooked Kinks klassic. Quite possibly one of their finest albums and certainly my favorite....

I haven't posted in over a week, so here is a random Sunday post of sweet selections from the '70s to make up for it. The photo I took in my back yard a few weeks ago. Yes, I'm a bit of a gardener, and have some lovely flowers to show for it. This week I'll be accompanying all of my posts with shots from my yard.
