New at PCR: NEON INDIAN
Pirate Cat Radio 87.9fm (Free subscription) | 11/25/2009
Neon Indian / Psychic Chasms / Lefse There’s something absolutely irresistible about Alan Palomo’s project, Neon Indian. On Psychic Chasms, he perfectly combines hippied out psychadelic dreamscapes with synth-disco, yacht rock, dance track beats. Add an overlay of distortion and a cloud of experimental ethos, and you have Psychic Chasms. I honestly cannot [...]

I’m Sorry, Michael Freaking McDonald
HearYa (Free subscription) | 11/24/2009
I’ve given Michael McDonald a hard time over the years and I just want to take this opportunity to apologize. I’m sure everyone has already heard the Grizzly Bear/Michael McDonald collaboration on Grizzly Bear’s “While You Wait for the Others”. I recently heard it for the first time and, yes, it’s incredible. It gives my [...]

John Fogerty -The Tony Bennett of the My Generation
with both hands (Free subscription) | 11/23/2009
John Fogerty's Blue Ridge Rangers Tour show at Chicago's Auditorium Theatre on Saturday November 21st brought together hundreds of middle aged gents and their wives, girl friends and significant others at feast and celebration of musical artistry void of posturing and narcissism. The only name worthy of the Single Name, it seems to me was James Brown; however, back in 1969 The Hardest Working Man in...

Best of GTA: Steely Dan @ the Record Plant
Hidden Track (Free subscription) | 11/20/2009
[Originally Published August 9, 2007] Steely Dan 03/20/1974 FM ( MP3 ): After listening to one of Steely Dan’s rare live gigs from the ’70s, I’m just confused as to why these guys didn’t tour behind any of their legendary albums. The Dan absolutely tore it up in the live setting with a band that included Michael McDonald, Denny Dias and Jeff “Skunk” Baxter. To see...

Michale McDonald: This Christmas
KK & R Music Blog (Free subscription) | 11/20/2009
This Christmas Please click image A fan of McDonald at Amazon.com had this to say; Michael McDonald's latest holiday CD has nothing but great music; but it becomes a mixed bag because so much of this has been released before. This CD has quite a few of its twelve tracks from Michael's past holiday releases "In the Spirit" and "Through the Many Winters." If you have these two CDs...

Fried chicken's gone fancy
Chicago Tribune (Free subscription) | 11/12/2009
Fried chicken night goes upscale Fried chicken is a dish eaten in shame. Some nights when the urge arises, I rush to the neighborhood Kentucky-style chicken emporium in a hooded sweatshirt and tinted sunglasses, find the farthest table from the entrance and begin desecrating the contents of a bucket.
