Local Natives - Airplanes - BBC Radio 1 Live In Session

This band is wonderful! I guess they were just in SF and I missed them. Dang it.
Must. Catch. Them. Next. Time. Looks very fun beyond being awesome.

Simon and Garfunkel - Cecilia (Acoustic Cover)

Stranger Things - Local Natives

There is a light and it never goes out

This video below makes me think that Johnny Marr should sing more old Smiths songs and go on tour. I mean, Morrissey butchered a lot of them at Coachella and this actually sounds good...

7 worlds collide- please, please, please let me get what i want

He could even have his buddies sing - I wouldn't care at all...

Neil Finn & Johnny Marr (The Smiths) : There Is A Light... (Live New Zealand)

Anyway - this is a good cause. Check it out:

Ever heard Margo Guryan? No? You should.

According to this site, Margo Guryan was a classical and jazz student in the early 60's. Ornette Coleman was a fellow student, Milt Jackson and Max Roach among her storied teachers. Hearing Brian Wilson swayed her into the ethereal world of melodic pop. The success of her songwriting, such as "Sunday Morning" (Spanky & Our Gang, Oliver) and "Think Of Rain" (Astrud Gilberto, Claudine Longet, Jackie DeShannon) earned her the chance to record an album.

Check out her website here:

Check out these clips below - I can't say much for the videos but the songs are great.

Elliott Smith - Alameda (live)

Great live solo performance in a small club.

Miss Misery - Elliott Smith (Live at the Oscars)

Weird but great live performance in the world stage.

Elliott Smith - Waltz #2 (XO)

There should have been much more Elliott Smith to share with the world. Gone too soon.

ps.
I have said it before but YouTube comments are often some of the most hideous bullshit ever to get published anywhere. Public restroom stall graffiti usually has more class and validity than the moronic spam comments on Youtube. Someone oughtta start a petition...

Trick or Tweets

Sarah Silverman is a delight

I recently starting following a bunch of comedians to my twitter in an effort to make twitter more engaging.
It worked. The biggest surprise? Sarah Silverman aka @SarahKSilverman. Her stand-up is funny. As a supporting character / comedic actor, she's fantastic. But who knew she could bring the consistently funny tweets? You might not know it from watching this (see below) or even her Comedy Central show. But folloow her - you'll see. Chuckle worthy! An occasional chortle even...

Happy 4th of July

Bruce Springsteen - Born To Run

Nothing says 4th of July like Bruce Springsteen... well... maybe Neil Diamond... according to the Boston Pops.
This year he's playing this song with the symphony orchestra:

Neil Diamond_Sweet Caroline

Either way - Happy 4th.
Please bbq, crack a beer, blow up the sky or gawk at the parade going by... it's the least you can do for your country. No?

Billy Joel - Allentown

Billy Joel - Pressure

Going back East to the places from my childhood is always a bit surreal, but this trip to Nantucket has been made that much stranger due to the 80s music that seems to seep out of every radio in every place I go. The obligatory Bowie, AC/DC, Guns N Roses, Steve Perry and the like have been overshadowed by the more surprising Billy Joel. I must admit, I don't own one cd's worth of his stuff but perhaps should do something to change that soon. In spite of all of the saxamaphone and synths... he sure had some classics. You May Be Right could easily be a Stones hit. Often times, he sounds very much like a blue collar, American Beatles. And that doesn't suck in the least. For all I know...
