The Replacements :: Once & Forever

Stop. Before you read another word, go visit Be The Boy who has posted a You Tube video of The Replacements playing Live in 1981 at 7th Street in Minneapolis. I just watched it three times in a row. After that, since it's the only Mats song on my computer right now, feel free . . .

Reed and Cale :: Songs for Drella

(posted by j. neas)The enmity between Lou Reed and John Cale is no secret. After Cale's departure from the Velvet Underground in 1968 (following the release of White Light/White Heat), there was really only one thing that still connected them: Andy Warhol. Seems like that was enough to put a temporary halt to about 20 years of bad feelings, since one of the results of Warhol's death in 1987 was the tribute album Songs for Drella . . .

I’m Looking Over a Four-Leaf Clover

(posted by j. neas)Happy St. Patrick's Day to you all! Although I am primarily of English heritage, I hold no ill will toward my Irish brethren.

The Minute You Walked In

It's Will from Be The Boy again helping to fill in. While our man in Texas is probably sleeping one off on this fine St. Patrick’s Day morning I’m thinking about late night drinks. When it’s past the party hour but not quite last call can be too much time to drink alone, not that it stops a dedicated man from trying. This last hour is when it pays to be at a bar with a decent jukebox. While it’s been a long time since I made last . . .

Calling From The Funhouse

Now filling in for the star of our show is Will from Be The Boy.By 1970 Los Angeles was holding a wake for the hippie era, it had been found wounded on the side of the freeway, bleeding from a knife wound to the heart delivered by the Manson Family. All of the incense and sitar music in the city couldn’t nurse peace and love back to health, it was over. While the kids . . .
