Charging bulls, lasered Radiohead, and more
John Nack on Adobe (Free subscription) | 07/13/2008
Jumping the shark : predictable and sad. Jumping several hundred pounds of very PO'd livestock: much more spectacular . (Interestingly, the man-gores-bull shot hides behind a "this may be offensive" curtain, whereas the bull-gores-man shots don't.) In Curse of the Black Gold , Ed Kashi captures the pain, degredation, and occasional beauty wrought by oil extraction in Nigeria. (The tiny bottom nav bar...

CD Review: Sugar Cane’s Got The Blues by Don “Sugar Cane” Harris
Blogger News Network (Free subscription) | 07/11/2008
It was way back in 1972 when this live concert was taped. 1972 was the jumping off point of the Prog Rock movement, and elements of the genre can be found in this album. Don “Sugar Cane” Harris is probably a name you have heard of before, but can’t quite place where. Well the answer [...]

Friday Mix Tape: What’s My Name?
Hidden Track (Free subscription) | 07/11/2008
Naming a song after somebody has been a tradition carried on from the early days of rock when Little Richard recorded Long Tall Sally and Chuck Berry immortalized Johnny B. Goode on vinyl. This week’s Friday Mix Tape features six killer songs containing someone’s name in the title. I’m still waiting for a decent [...]

More Death Shows: Cold Case
(en)Gender (Free subscription) | 07/11/2008
I watch a lot of death shows, as I call them - the forensics, the procedurals, the investiigation shows. I’m a big fan of Cold Case, especially: the premise is that they have to take on a cold case - a case where the leads died, mostly - and solve it. So there’s a kind [...]

Louis Jordan at 100
Power Line (Free subscription) | 07/08/2008
Today is the centennial anniversary of the birth of Louis Jordan. Jordan is the link from the birth of jazz and the big band swing era to rock 'n' roll, from Louis Armstrong (with whom he recorded some duets) to Chuck Berry and Little Richard. Having touched everyone from Ray Charles to Prince, Jordan deserves a hearing in his own right. Between 1942 and 1951 he recorded an astounding 57 rhythm and...

This is me. (Oh, you knew that. So it goes.) What you didn't know is I'm wearing a commemorative T-shirt featuring "The World's Tallest Catsup Bottle," by gar.

This is a good time to have a T-shirt to wear. Few days ago it was 101
