Happy birthday, Louie!

Listening to your music now. Thanks for the link!

It just seems like, when I make an update about the band or whatever, I do it first at http://iacmusic.com/hoponpop, then Facebook (much later), then MySpace. And then, on top of that, I have a presence at the Spade Kitty site, too. Even bands that are making a name for themselves seem to be keeping their MySpace pages as their main (or sole) web presence. I almost never get to my "official" site to actually add news of any kind. And traffic seems to be dropping. It's almost not even worth it. Is it? What do you think? With the plethora of choices available to indie artists, do you think

Brazil - The Philosophy of Velocity

Jesus was way cool Everybody liked Jesus Everybody wanted to hang out with him Anything he wanted to do, he did He turned water into wine And if he wanted to He could have turned wheat into marijuana Or sugar into cocaine Or vitamin pills into amphetamines He walked on the water And swam on the land He would tell these stories And people would listen He was really cool If you were blind or lame You just went to Jesus And he would put his hands on you And you would be healed That's so cool He could've played guitar better than Hendrix He could've told the future He could've baked the most

"Dear God" - XTC

I saw Television back in 1992 and it was pretty astounding. Despite the fact that they played all my favorite songs, the highlight was when they closed the show with, what was then, a new song -- "Call Mr. Lee". The guitar runs that Richard plays up and down the neck at the end of that song, were so damn intense! You could see veins bulging out of his neck and forehead. Then, he bashed his guitar, detuned all the strings, and TORE THEM OFF THE GUITAR; put it down, and walked off the stage, letting it feed back. My gf at the time (a nonmusician) walked out of there with her head shaking in

Not "Honey Pie"... "WILD Honey Pie".

I actually kinda like "Wild Honey Pie" in a "God, that's f**ked" sorta way.

I had a day off with my older son, Cary. We wandered around Oak Park a little bit and finally found our way to Val's Halla... an old, institution of a record store ins said suburb; you Chicago folks probably know it, or have at least heard of it? Anyway, he went nuts. He was asking Val all kinds of questions about music and the history of the store. He was checking out CDs and LPs from his favorite bands and was pawing through the stacks like the drooling little budding music geek that he is.
