What's old is new; what was once out is now in... it's too hard to keep track anymore. Are Huey Lewis & the News really making a cultural comeback? Like many bands from their era (I'm looking at you, Journey), the News are benefiting from a resurgance, due in part from television and film exposure. Last year, they were tapped by Judd Apatow to write the theme to Pineapple Express and then Chuck...
Lots of snarky folks in the gaming community are pointing and laughing at the announcement of an adventure game based on and around the music of REO Speedwagon, but you won't be hearing any of that condescension from me. I grew up listening to their greatest 1980s power ballads and still enjoy dropping "Can't Fight This Feeling" into my music playlist from time to time. What I am going to...
Head coach Mike McCarthy of the Green Bay Packers Fire up the DeLorean and cue the Huey Lewis music. The Green Bay Packers might be going back to the future to protect their ailing quarterback. With sacks piling up at a record rate and quarterback Aaron Rodgers now hobbled by a pair of foot injuries, Packers coach Mike McCarthy strongly hinted today that recently re-signed veteran right tackle Mark...
Whoever the talent booker is for the Jimmy Kimmel show has done a pretty decent job lining up bands to appear on the show this month. Think I might even set the DVR to record a few of these: November 3 – White Rabbits November 4 – Ghostface Killah featuring Raheem DeVaughn November 5 – Florence + The [...]
Peter King has his Fine Fifteen, ESPN has its own composite power rankings, and the legendary Dr. Z’s weekly power rankings were a must-read until he was stricken silent by a stroke last year. So, why can’t TBL get in on the fun? Here’s the eighth installment of the 2009 NFL in-season power rankings, featuring the [...]
I won't be surprised if you've never heard of Norton Buffalo ( wiki , website ), but he's been huge out west here for many years. I've been to see him at a lot of small venues around here. At times, his show was the only live music for forty miles. He made his harp rock . EssEffChron (11-01) 21:11 PST PARADISE (BUTTE COUNTY) -- Norton Buffalo, harmonica virtuoso, one-of-a-kind performer and consummate...

When my sister and her husband got married, a couple of girls that we grew up with sang a song by the Judds. I can’t remember the name of the song, which means it was a song that meant something important to their romance, but had very little to do with my own experience. What songs are considered the most romantic? Who decides what is on the list? I was just looking at a list of Top Love Songs...
Legendary San Franciscan concert promoter Bill Graham died on this date in 1991 after his helicopter crashed following a Huey Lewis concert. A charismatic and controversial personality, Graham helped define the San Francisco music scene in the late 60’s, opened the Fillmore, East and West, was a permanent fixture at every Dead New Years show, [...]
Hello. My name is Pioneer Woman. And I’m stuck in the Eighties. I know I promised an under-$20 gift idea today. I now owe you two. But I couldn’t let another day pass without showing you these darlings. I saw these on Robertson Blvd. yesterday while I was shopping with my girls. I was instantly charmed. They’re nice and dangly. They’re made of brass. And I love them. For those...
The video for Queen Latifah's "Fast Car" reminded me of Tracy Chapman's song of the same name, which reminded me of the scene from last season's Office where Micahel asks Darrell to make a CD of Bruce Springsteen songs, and includes "Fast Car" (and four songs by Huey Lewis). Hilarious. It's better than this, obviously, because this looks like a car commercial masked as a video...
So, just to update an item from several months ago, I made the decision to skip the Phish Festival 8. Too much cash, too much crowd, too much other school work going on in and around the dates of the shows. If some Fairy Godmother of Awesomeness were to drop the necessary cash and tickets on me in the next couple of weeks, I could see myself instantly revising this decision, but barring that sort of...
Starting January 7, 2010, Britain’s Royal Mail will be issuing 10 classic album covers as stamps. Not just from one decade either, the series looks back and grabs something from every time period. (But Blur, really') Still, it’s better than the Simpsons the USPS has. ( Via .)
