The Clash's "London Calling" Still Rocks!
I have been listening to London Calling - the Clash's 1979 breakout album - on my morning drive recently, and wanted to blog about how fresh it still seems after 30 years. In fact, it's hard to believe that it was 30 years ago that I was first...

"Ain't no party like my nana's tea party!" Flight of the Conchords albums are musically, comedically brilliant
Flight of the Conchords is an award-winning New Zealand comedy band, self-described as "New Zealand's fourth most popular guitar-based digi-bongo acapella-rap-funk-comedy folk duo". While a couple previous blog posts ( 1 2 ) talked about...

"Our Bright Future" by Tracy Chapman
I have long been a fan of Tracy Chapman. She has a beautiful, soulful voice that lends itself to the simple but smart and touching songs that she writes. "Our Bright Future" is her 8th album. She started out 23 years ago in little cafes near...

Me First & the Gimme Gimmes punk-ify the classics
Musical parody...such a fine art. Back in the day, I was a big "Weird Al" Yankovic fan ("It's all about the Pentiums, baby!"). There are also bands that take well-known music and reinterpret it: some of my favs include Hayseed...

New Chrissie Hynde and the Pretenders album
Chrissie Hynde is back -- and she's spectacular -- in the Pretenders' first studio album in 6 years, "Break Up the Concrete." She hasn't lost her voice or her style! The hard-rocking Hynde, who wrote all the songs, fronts an all...

"Little Wild One" by Joan Osborne
" Righteous Love " is one of my all-time favorite albums, so when I read in "People" magazine that Joan Osborne had a 7th album out -- " Little Wild One " -- I made sure the library ordered it. Osborne's music has elements...

Theory of a Deadman returns with "Scars & Souvenirs"
I've been following Theory of a Deadman since their self-titled 2002 debut. Their latest album, Scars & Souvenirs , shows the band continues to improve with age. There are essentially two types of songs on the new album: Slower, melodic power...
