I’ve always enjoyed listening to the pop-music harmony groups of the Fifties and Sixties — guys like the Lettermen, the Four Freshmen, and others. They pleased a lot of fans with a sound that fit somewhere between earlier groups like the Pied Pipers and newer combos like the Beach Boys. But there were some very talented [...]
MINNEAPOLIS, Nov. 24 /PRNewswire/ -- Box Tops for Education is making this year's holiday shopping easier and more rewarding through the introduction of its newly enhanced Marketplace (www.btfe.com/marketplace).

As shoppers look to stretch their dollars this holiday season, the Box Tops Marketplace provides an opportunity to give back without spending extra.

"If online shoppers simply shopped where they normally would shop on CyberMonday, but through...
Filed under: Concerts and Tours , News Alex Chilton is the grandpappy of power-pop, but Wednesday night at NYC's Brooklyn Masonic Temple, where he and his band Big Star played their first New York show in more than a decade, the singer and guitarist burned brightest on a pair of low-watt slow songs. The first, 'The Ballad of El Goodo,' came midway through the quartet's 20-song set. "There ain't...

My radio focus these days consists of drive time sports chatter or the local oldies station that play the usual suspects (Beatles, Motown, Gloria Gaynor, etc.) Occasionally I'll slip in a treasured Baikinange CD on my piece of shit car stereo for some "culture", but basically I'm a lazy ass, content to mull over the merits of yesterday's hits and misses. Driving home this evening, tired of...
Having caught a bit of the dreaded programme last night, I'd just like to clarify that the best piece of music during the programme is Neon Rainbow by the Box Tops which you hear briefly over the TalkTalk sponsorship ad. Thank you.
As you probably know we have a bit of a liking for songs used in adverts. The advertising men who only used to listen to Genesis have now caught on to the idea that the right song can sell big time. It can also hamper your advert. The latest Halifax advert had the excellent First Day Of My Life by Bright Eyes but the same images have been replaced by a much more mainstream song in "(Your Love...

I sat at my son’s school last night alone. I watched Moms congregate to other Moms. The really well dressed ones. The hipster ones. The entirely ready to conquer the PTA ones. And instead of picking a group. I sat alone. Sure I introduced myself here and there, made some small talk so as not to seem like [...]
Hardly anybody around today, so might as well babble on about music while the muse is semi-hitting me… FAVORITE COVER SONGS Much like preferring live albums mixing up the arrangements of the respective artists’ songs — if I wanted to listen to the song the way you already played it in the studio, why wouldn’t I just [...]
THE COOL GHOUL AND THE MISTRESS OF THE DARK. ♥The other day I "tweeted" at Matthew Gray Gubler that I wanted him to play John Zacherle (Zacherley) in a biopic of the Cool Ghoul. Here's one of my best youtube finds of all time. The Box Tops promoting "The Letter" on a special halloween party edition of the amazing teen dance party DISC-O-TEEN with Zacherley at the host. Enjoy...
