Pearl Jam has done a cover of "Love Reign O'er Me" for a movie sndtk. You can find links to it on Mark Morford's blog:

Is it me, or does it sound like they just took the orig Who backing tracks and substituted Vedder for Daltrey?

New discovery of January was Amy Winehouse, "Rehab," which I'll e-mail an MP3 of to anyone who asks.  Mike and POC, you'll especially dig it.

New discovery of February is Locksley, a Brooklyn band that actually deserves Beatles comparisons in terms of their songcraft -- "All of the Time," especially, has an L&M 1965 vibe to it.  I'm going to see them this Saturday.

Scary thing about the latter?  *My mom* turned me on to them.

Earl Greyhound

Alicat was raving about Earl Greyhound when I was in town in December, and kindly burned me their CD.  Babe, you're not the only one: Next week's Voice is running a glowing review of them from Kandia Crazy Horse, one of the nation's better-known music journos.

Now We've Seen (Sampled) It All: New to the Top 10 is "Cupid's Chokehold" by Gym Class Heroes, which interpolates -- wait -- the "Take a look at my girlfriend / She's the only one I got" hook from "Breakfast in America."  Mind-blowing.  And surprisingly catchy.

The New Number One Song in America:

This is why I'm hot
This is why I'm hot
This is why, this is why, this is why,
This is why I'm hot

I'm hot cause I'm fly
You ain't cause you not
This is why, this is why, this is why,
This is why I'm hot


(this is me pounding sand)

As soon as I saw this I thought 'wait a minute, some one should write a song after this called -- wait -- "Cupid's Cuckold".'

no mistaking ben taylor's parents!

and i thought punk bakker was the perfect carbon copy!


You know, we saw young Ben open for Dar Williams at the Fillmore back in 2003.  As I recall, we found him charming, if something of a spaz.  He came out and joined Dar for a number or two, and yeah, totally sounds like his dad.

But it was nice for my in-laws, who we invited because Glady actually won a pair of tickets as part of a "Mother's Day" promo from KFOG.  They actually got to go backstage for a meet-and-greet, but the photos are somewhere in the volumnious archive of photos taken and then not filed in my mother-in-law's backyard shed.

She was great on Letterman.  And did you see her backup dancers?  Outstanding!

Coming back from commercial break, Paul and the band played something by the Ronnettes, fitting since 1) Amy was rocking that style and attitude, 2) Paul and the band would be playing the Hall of Fame gig later that night where the Ronnettes were inducted.

i've never been quite clear on what classifies as "emo."


anything you hear in an episode of "Scrubs" :wink:


um...i think i've seen the show once. maaybe. is that the one with the boy who was the son wh ojoins up with people in "waiting to exhale?" i saw about ten minutes of it on spanish television. i don't remember the music well. but it reminded me of "felicity."


Scrubs is about a million times funnier than Felicity.  I don't watch it regularly any more, but I don't think their music is as emo as the stuff its star Zach Branff puts on the soundtracks to his movies (see: Garden State.  No really, see it!)  He pretty much put The Shins on the map.  (Natalie Portman:  "Listen to this music - it'll change your life")  And that danged Zero 7 song you can't get out of your head?  That one too.

Scrubs featured an episode where Colin Hay walks by at various moments  playing an acoustic guitar and singing various Men at Work hits!  And another one where a quartet of hospital administrators sings TV themes throughout the episode.  "Charles in Charge!"

Totally not Felicity.

Robert Randolph and David Grisman

Speaking of Scrubs -- perhaps you're familiar with the song NBC has been using to promote their Thursday night comedy line-up, Robert Randolph and the Family Band's "Ain't Nothing Wrong With That".

[Funky pedal steel guitar + hand claps]
*break*
East Coast or West Coast...
*break*
It don't matter...

http://www.nbc.com/Featured_Music/mp3/RobertRandolph_30.mp3

ANYwho, we won tickets to see them on Friday night (thanks Big Rick), and who made an incredibly unexpected guest appearance?  Oh, if you looked at the Subject line, the surprise has been spoiled.

David Grisman?  Hunh!?  Yeah, really!  Check it out:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=01NvCiksmo8

Ok, that's it.  I'll revisit y'all in another month or so.  Promise.  :-}

The barbershop quartet thing was awesome.  Greatest version of the Underdog theme EVER!!!  Still waiting to catch it again on re-runs.
