… You Touch Me I Hear The Sound of Mandolins
Awesome rendition of this magical song written for a 1957 movie that I personally first heard performed by David Bowie in the 70’s. This is the amazing Nina Simone going way back to 1959:
[I’m having deja vu on this … Read the rest
Two Corinthians Walk Into A Bar
… British Rock Royalty
Regular readers of this site know I love the old rock band Deep Purple, driven partly by how under-appreciated they seem to be, and how funky they were.
Check out this clip of a jam on an old Purple song … Read the rest
Damn New Birth
Trump And The Nazi Americans
Nice summary of Trump’s outright racist supporters, and a robocall explaining how to rank immigration “priorities”: TRUMP!
More radical than the KKK. OK.
By the way – Mr. Trump calls himself The Don. Think about that. He calls … Read the rest
Ouchies On A Cold Night
Warriors came to the winter wonderland of Cleveland last night and beat the doo-doo out of the Cavs. The Cavs were rolling, playing good ball on their road trip, but it was off from the start last night.

The Mortal Coil
We wake every day, or we don’t. I’d like to keep it that simple but man is it hard to contain the sadness as more and more beautiful people perish.
The latest is a great musician and friend Big … Read the rest
Diabolic Personality Alert
Why does Trump resonate with people? Are they all idiots addicted to reality TV and insultingly simple answers to complex problems? Are they all xenophobic racists?
I just can’t figure it out. It’s … Read the rest
Damn, Bowie Is Gone
Is it a hoax? While releasing his latest album, and already receiving amazing reviews, David Bowie, 69, passed last night from unreported cancer.
So many unanswered questions here, like who knew, how they were planning the promotion of the new … Read the rest
The Next Era of Music
On the playback side, not the creation side….
Turntables have been selling well the past few years but there was one big dark spot on that record – the iconic Technics 1200, the stratocaster of turntables, was discontinued a … Read the rest

Re-Watch Cosby?
Fascinating article and comments by someone who recently re-watched the iconic 80’s sitcom and came away very conflicted.
I have yet to see a Cosby show post-allegations. I may try the experiment and see if I can still enjoy it. … Read the rest
Into The Mind Of Funk
Great discussion with Bootsy about the old days of P-Funk.
You may have seen parts of this in other shows, but I hadn’t seen the long-form version of this until now. Must see info for funkateers!
No No I’m Losing You
Classic Aretha lip-syncing for a TV show:
New Bowie: Behold The Blackstar
David is 68 and counting and still making new, relevant music – very inspirational.
For his new record he scouted the New York scene and then hired an experienced hard-jazz improv group to act as his foil. He brought … Read the rest
The Sound of Failure
Nice song and video from The Flaming Lips:

Another advancement in the understanding of how we detect sound: timing is more important, and more accurately detected, than frequency. #savetheaudio
This flies in the face of hi-res skeptics who believe our horrible ears could never hear beyond that CD-quality … Read the rest
