(Admiral Radley: “Ghost Of Syllables” Live at ”tiny “SXSW Concert)

Was listening to 91.5 FM KEXP today and heard the above Admiral Radley tune. It’s a great song!

91.5 is the best FM radio station in NYC. Too bad they cut the music after 12 noon.

For some reason this song popped up in my head today. I haven’t heard it in years.

(Blue Mango performs Shania Twain’s “Man I Feel Like a Woman”)

I saw my friend Sal’s (guitar) band last night at Manny’s Bake Shop in Queens. They played covers along with a few Filipino songs. They were very good. The lead singer’s name is Bessie. She has a fantastic voice and really has a great repoire with the crowd.

The video is kinda dark, but the sound is pretty good.

Manny’s Bake Shop is a Filipino restaurant and bakery. It’s on Union Turnpike in Flushing, Queens.

(Snapshot of Tuba Skinny’s website)

So, the band Tuba Skinny finally has a website. Over a year ago I put up my first TS post, which mentioned their need to be online.

On their new site I noticed two of my pics of the band from Washington Square Park. See them bottom links for the photos.

Tuba Skinny plays traditional dixieland jazz of the 1920s and 1930s. Check them out!!!

(“Home” live on The Late Show with David Letterman )

It’s funny that it took a while for ”Home” by Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros to grow on me. I can’t believe that the first time I heard it I didn’t think that it was absolutely brilliant!

Right now it’s my favorite song of all time.

Wow! I just found this fantastic version of The Clash playing “White Riot” live in Victoria, Park London.

It’s from the rockumentary/fictitious film entitled “Rude Boy,” which I haven’t seen in years and can’t remember.
