Shuaib received an automobile from his brother as an Eid present. On Eid day when Shuaib came out of his house, a street urchin was walking around the shiny new car, admiring it. “Is this your car, Uncle?” he asked. Shuaib nodded. “My brother gave it to me for Eid.” The boy was astounded. “You mean [...]
mp3: The Pretty Things - Come See Me mp3: The Pretty Things - £.s.d. Now what we have here is a couple of absolutely storming garage tracks from fab British band, The Pretty Things. These chaps belonged to the music scene that spat out the likes of the Stones, Animals, Them etc. and were every bit as fierce. I bought this record for Come See Me, which just jumps straight out of the speakers with...
God Bless The Pretty Things ****Navigator, £12.72Andrew Marr's singer songwriter of choice has been turning out consistently good records since the demise of The Bible, but this one is exceptional, an album of superior Anglo-Saxon Americana aided by John McCusker on fiddle and Ewan Vernal on bass. New Year's Eve is a simple tale well picked and plucked, and accordion brings a breeziness to Paris...
Because you’ve not had enough yet. And, while I have not heard any reports of people not being able to buy Droid phones, I’ve been unable to find any accessories for it that I want. The local Verizon store at the mall in Maryville had none. And the online store at Verizon appears to be out. [...]

I have a lot of trouble understanding why Guido Fawkes (in whose name fireworks fill the skies tonight) believed that blowing up the royal family and all it's politicians would help the Catholic cause.On the other hand I can understand how fear and betrayal led him to entertain a madness in which literally cutting off the head(s) of an anti-Catholic England could provide space for a new,
THE SORROWS - Take A Heart (1966) Biography by Richie Unterberger One of the most overlooked bands of the British Invasion, the Sorrows offered a tough brand of R&B-infused rock that recalled the Pretty Things (though not as R&B-oriented) and the Kinks (though not as pop-oriented). Their biggest British hit, "Take a Heart," stopped just outside the U.K. Top 20; several other fine...
les fleur de lys - "circles" (download) Les Fleur de Lys were a British psych-rock band from the '60's. Very poppy, catchy sing-a-long mod-rock. Their keyboardist went on to join Jefferson Starship. Good music for a sunny day. Recommended if you like The Beatles, The Pretty Things, etc. buy
I used to be a good person. I don’t recognise that person anymore. Somewhere along the way between now and then I changed. But then again you (i.e. the world) wanted me to change. I could live with myself then. Now I have so much anger and venom that my only release is to infect everyone with my poison. But then again the world forced me to change, so it should pay the price. I don’t want...
Turns out ten years ago this month, David Bowie released Hours... His 21st solo studio album, as well as his last album of the twentieth century. Promising a new more laid-back Bowie and slow acoustic 'pop songs', the press anticipated this album would be the new Hunky Dory . As it turned out, Hours... was a pretty unremarkable album by Bowie's standards. Especially since it was standing between the...

Mari Johnson invited me to Austin to speak at her Back Home Store. I never met Mari before, nor did I know anything about her, except that she seemed like a kindred spirit from the email she sent me. Last Friday evening Mari drove to Marburger, and at the end of the day I hopped in her car and drove with her to Austin. An hour and a half later we were fast friends, it was as if we had been separated...
