Neil Diamond’s Home Before Dark
I downloaded Neil Diamond’s new album Home Before Dark first thing yesterday morning and it was great music to play through the day. Neil once again collaborated with Rick Rubin, who worked with Neil on 12 Songs and also worked with Johnny Cash on the last albums that Cash made before he passed away. Their [...]

Friday Geek Out: Madonna on TV
Madonna released a new album this week, Hard Candy, which features the first single “Four Minutes (To Save the World)” a duet with Justin Timberlake. The requisite video came out with it and with all this Madonna activity it seemed a good time to sing the praises of Madonna’s videos and live performances. Few performers [...]

Beautiful Noise
A new Neil Diamond album hits on May 6. Home Before Dark is another collaboration with Rick Rubin, who worked with him on the spectacular 12 Songs a couple years ago. I’m excited for the album based on the bits I’ve heard on NeilDiamond.com. And I’m looking forward to the summer tour, which brings him [...]

Friday Geek Out: Foreigner “That Was Yesterday”
Agent Provocateur album (yes, my first version of this was vinyl, not a CD). I got into the band a few years before when 4 came out back in ‘81. It was hard to not get into the hits on that album with “Urgent” and “Juke Box Hero.”
Agent Provocateur’s first single was the instant classic [...]
A Little iPod Magic

As I’ve written before, I tend to leave my iPod on shuffle, a rotation of 800+ songs that takes me a few weeks to get through. I have an odd policy of iPod maintenance. I need to get through the entire cycle before I sync the iPod over again to add or subtract songs. Yes, [...]

What ever happened to Irene Cara?
“Fame” was the first 45 I ever bought. I’ve never seen this clip before (the “applause” makes me think it came from an appearance on an early 80’s variety show) but I think it has become my new most favorite thing EVER!
Isn’t she the cutest thing jumping around in her genuine imitation Cher/Bob Mackie “Half [...]

New Horizon
I heard this wonderfully cheesy dance remix of the St Elmo’s theme at the gym today. Coincidentally, it’s Rob Lowe’s birthday today… he’s 44!

Get Your Dance On!
Dancing with the Stars is back tonight and I am, of course, oh so happy. To celebrate, it’s time to bring this great video back to the top of the blog. Yes, it’s rated R becuase because “F**k” is part of the title, but it’s too good to pass up!

Get the weekend started
How utterly remiss of me! I only just now discovered that Shirley Bassey has a new album out! Below is the video for her new single in which she puts her very distinctive vocal stamp on a popular pop tune. I guarantee you, you’ll never think of Pink the same way again.
