Song Of The Day: Feb. 16, 2018
Nathan Arizona Week, Day 5: “Some us will alvvays (CQ) love power-pop no matter when it comes out. This tune arrived in 2014 from a Canadian band that spells its name that way because some other band was already using the usual spelling. No word on how Betty and Veronica feel about singer and songwriter […]

Nathan Arizona Week: Day 4!! “Folk-rock for our time by one of a host of young guitarists who play in the tradition of Bert Jansch, Tim Hardin and John Martyn. Video shot at Fourth of July celebration in his home town Chicago. Summer in the city. If you like this, check out James Blackshaw.”:
Song of the Day Feb. 13, 2018: New Radicals, “You Get What You Give”
Nathan Arizona Week. Day 2!: The only hit by a 1990s “alternative” band with hints of the ’70s. In fact, pretty much the only New Radicals song anybody’s ever heard of. Praised by Joni Mitchell, who hardly likes anything. It never made sense to me that this group dropped off the face of the earth […]
Song of the Day Feb. 12, 2018: The View, “Wasted Little DJs”
Nathan Arizona, Day One!: Crackling indie pop-rock from a rousing and rowdy Scottish band. NME named it the best song of 2006. A friend of mine and I spent part of a summer on a back porch trying to figure out what they were saying. Even when we finally saw the lyrics it didn’t help […]

Yes, it’s a parody of Deadheads. But it’s just so cool and spiky. Ends real quick b/c ‘Surprise Truck’ barrels through. Best band name ever?: Starting tomorrow, Nathan Arizona gets his week in the booth. Trust me, the week kicks off with a serious slab of hot wax!

Always thought this was a Los Lobos original. Last night, Nathan Williams of the Zydeco Cha Chas set me straight. BTW, hope you were there!:

‘Life In A Northern Town’ was said to have been inspired by Nick Drake. I can sure see this song as part of what inspired the Dream Syndicate:

Name the movie this was from. See if you can identify all of the stars pictured in the video. This song cuts thru the white noise for me:

Ya got to take the bitter with the sweet. While we mourn the death of Dennis Edwards, who replaced David Ruffin in the Temptations, Iggles fans are doing ‘fine on Cloud 9’:
Song Of The Day: Super Bowl Sunday
The year was 1993. The Philies were about to play Game 6 of the National League Championship Series against the Braves at the Vet, Phils up 3-2 in the series. My brother and I had tickets (Thanks, Bag & Baggage Tickettown!). I got to the parking lot really early so that I could…park. While I […]

The Garage Rock National Anthem?: BTW, this was the B side of the record. What was the original A side? Guess it and I’ll play it.
