Redd Kross: Got Live If You Must
Rock Sellout (Free subscription) | 10/26/2008
Have I mentioned previously that I love Redd Kross? I’m sure I must’ve mentioned it a time or two before, haven’t I? I was ecstatic when I found out that the band hand recorded their show on January 24, 2007 at Joy Eslava Theater in Madrid Spain…problem was, it wasn’t available in the States. It [...]

PJ Proby: Three Week Hero
Boing Boing (Free subscription) | 10/18/2008
I've especially enjoyed sharing some of my enthusiasms for obscure musical acts here on Boing Boing as the guest blogger. This post is about PJ Proby, crazed crooner and rock and roll hellion. I am a massive, massive fan of this guy's music. I've been fascinated by him for years and would LOVE to make a documentary about him. No one plays the sad, apologetic lonely guy better than PJ Proby. His voice...

Weird at My School: Out of Egypt
The KEXP Blog (Free subscription) | 07/21/2008
Normally, I’m happiest when surrounded by thousands of old records. But there are exceptions. This weekend, I attended a record swap. I’d forgotten how antsy they make me. Shopping at a swap is different from digging in the crates at a store, even the most esoteric, collector-oriented brick and mortar. There is an element of competition [...]

The Chill
The New Yorker (Free subscription) | 06/30/2008
If you had stumbled into Banjo Jim’s, in the East Village, on a recent Wednesday night and encountered a sixty-something guy leading a band through a fervent rendition of “Wild Thing,” for an audience of two dozen or so, you might have concluded, “This is lame,” and slipped back . . .

White Label Wednesday: Tracey Ullman, “Breakaway”
Popdose (Free subscription) | 06/18/2008
Scout’s honor, I had no idea this mix even existed until a few months ago, when it popped up on an ‘80s remix message board I frequent. Always a big fan of the song – and sporting a mild crush in my early teens on Tracey Ullman in that ‘50s school girl outfit in the [...]

Album: Jackie DeShannon, Her Own Kind of Light (EMI Zonophone)
The Independent (Free subscription) | 05/04/2008
Like Carole King, DeShannon bridged the Tin Pan Alley model of post-war pro songwriting and the singer-songwriter culture that superseded it: she was a technical songwriter who could come out front and sing.

A Summer's Night With a Magic Moon
PowerPop (Free subscription) | 04/29/2008
The great Jackie DeShannon in 1964, performing her self-penned "When You Walk in the Room." Truly, one of the canonical power pop classics, and if it will make you feel any better until fairly recently I didn't know she'd had her own version of it out before The Searchers either.

old memories…
Music Is Art (Free subscription) | 04/07/2008
growing up, listening to the oldies radio station while calmly falling asleep in the backseat is part of my fondest memories. the tone of music kept a memorable quality, a type of safe haven that made the sound create a sense of historic elegance. hearing this now years later, the same feeling lingers.

The golden rule still applies: one dud song amongst a sea of gems, including Lobo's "Don't Expect Me To Be Your Friend", which is just about the most Magic-esque song in the world. This month seems to have a sub-theme of semi-forgotten...
