I know, I know. I just posted another Gogol Bordello song not that long ago. But…yesterday I saw that they are coming to town in November and playing a place I’ve never even heard of before, Belasco Theater. From the pictures I saw online, the place looks absolutely beautiful, and I’m excited to check it …
A tour called Happy Together came up in conversation with a coworker a couple of days ago. It’s a tour featuring various acts from the 1960s, some of which include The Turtles, Gary Puckett & The Union Gap, and The Cowsills. My coworker had attended the show down in Orange County at the Pacific Amphitheater, …
It looks like I will be returning to London sooner rather than later for work. With one goal of mine still being to see a concert at one of the city’s many historic venues, I started to look into performance schedules during my stay. Unfortunately, not a single place I looked at had anything that …
There have been a lot of great duets throughout music history, some of which have already made this list. I was thinking more about duets recently after spending some time with my niece. She is a fan of a show called The Lion Guard, which is based on the movie The Lion King. There was …

It was during one particular performance at this venue, opening up for the band Cream, that Pop embraced a new …
Whenever my friends and I would hear a new song on the radio back in the day, there was always anticipation and curiosity around what the accompanying music video would be like. Some could be very straightforward, perhaps the band simply playing the song live or a visual representation of the song’s lyrical story, while …
I think I might have been listening to the album Jazzmatazz Volume 1 by Guru when I came across the artist Jeru The Damaja for the first time. I picked a couple of songs at random to listen to at the time, but I wasn’t really getting into the tunes as a whole, despite liking …
Perhaps it was the mood I was in at the time, perhaps it was what I was working on, but today was another one of those days of spontaneous musical recall. There were two songs that popped into my head earlier today, both of which I knew the titles of but could not remember the …
I’m not one to always get the latest and greatest things when they come out, things like TVs, phones, etc. It’s just not that important to me. As long as what I have functions within reason, I’m happy to spend my money on other things that I feel I get more value from. Because of …
