As usual, Jack's been holding out on us. A couple of musicians I bumped into recently told me that, if they were younger, they'd move to LA or Cleveland.

I wasn't convinced. Then I found Foxy Shazam. 6 very ugly guys with some very old notions about rock 'n' roll. First rate players (an extremely inventive trumpet player) and a lead singer with a voice that doesn't often come from the US, unless you're Robin Zander. He can do some amazing stuff.

Their latest is "Welcome to the Church of Rock and Roll."
How can you hate a band of white guys that sings:

C'mon, c'mon, c'mon
Show me later on
That's the biggest black ass I've ever seen
And I like it, I like it
A lot

Clevleland does rock!

hooray, bob is back. been bland around here

He never left.
He has been posting under several other regular posters names that have temporarily offered him their passwords as a social experiment. Be paranoid. Be verrrry paranoid.

That's it, Andrew! We need a "social experiment" around here!

Wow, the possibilities are blowing my mind.

I have a lot of time to spend in the car in Friday traffic today, so you know I'll be workin' on it.

I've curtailed writing Post-it's in the car. I've just starting keeping a personal recorder in there, so I think things are gonna get KRAYZEE!

I like this track off the new Metric album:

Metric - "Lost Kitten"

I just listened to the album and really liked it.

She covers it up!

Not a bad song but I can't stand Lyric videos. Do a midi version of the song and you pretty much have a Vic-20 project.

I just got Jose Gonzalez, Veneer. Highly recommended for those mellow guitar moods...

I also picked up the new Heartless Bastards cd, Arrow. I can't quite figure out who she reminds of. I like their music, regardless.

Margo Timmins of the Cowboy Junkies?

I have one Heartless Bastards CD that I haven't listened to in a while but seems to me I always thought ofMargo Timmins whenever I listened to them, but I may be totally thinking of somebody else altogether.
