I just wanted to test my ability to embed YouTube videos here. Plus, I’ve been listening to a LOT of my old 80’s CDs in the truck lately. The Replacements, The HooDoo Gurus, New Order, and the like. Let’s concentrate on the Minneapolis music scene: I saw Soul Asylum play the M-Shop at the [...]

Quite simply one of the greatest pop songs ever written, but one of the worst videos I have ever seen. Cardboard desert, and all... It also doesn't help how they look either. But then, it's from 1985 and everyone looked shit then. You should have seen me. This band should have been bigger than they were here, but we were too busy listening to Madonna and Phil Collins to care though. For shame....

Tin seems a pretty worthless metal to celebrate our tenth wedding anniversay today, Friday the 13th. This is my second ten year wedding anniversary and I worked out that I have been married almost half of my life. I plan to buy my wife a tin of soup to celebrate. Anyway, here are the Hoodoo Gurus, who Elizabeth really likes, to celebrate with us. Happy Anniversary Elizabeth. Would you like your soup...

Glasto doesn't normally tell everyone who is on the bill. This year, thanks to a leak, we can now see who is on some of the main stages. Apparently, this happened because one of the printers used by the Eavis...

Settle an internal debate for me: Who's the best Australian band? AC-DC INXS Midnight Oil Men At Work Bee Gees Crowded House Air Supply Little River Band The Church Hoodoo Gurus Icehouse The Vines someone else... pollcode.com free polls Yes, I know it's AC / DC, slashes apparently screw up PollHost's code. "Someone else" can include anyone but Silverchair, Divinyls, and Wolfmother, because they suck....

It is big, unpretentious, almost Australian in feel - no surprise with Aussie Greg Wales at the helm - the sound recalls Midnight Oil or Hoodoo Gurus in the way that a hot wind seems to blow through the grooves, and mixes in some Americana in the way that fans of the Broken Family Band would recognise. Piano and organ leavens the mix under and through gritty guitars and a husky lead vocal. You should...

I love Jive Time Records in Fremont. They specialize in buying and selling used vinyl. Owner David Day is a super nice guy and he’s very knowledgeable about music and records. The store’s a visual and aural treat and a pleasure to spend time in. Be it rock, soul, jazz or blues, whatever you're looking for you're likely to find it here in good condition and for a good price. There’s plenty here for...
