Losing Kevin Ayers hit me where it hurts. I've always felt like he was my little secret despite the fact that I'd play him frequently when I was doing college radio. Most of the articles on his life have focused on The Soft Machine and mentioned his solo career in passing but it's always been his solo work which I have loved. I would agree that Whatevershebringswesing is a good place to start

I could see Taylor joining them for Love in Vain. It's a simple blues and it gives him an excellent showcase to solo. I'd love to hear that and Dead Flowers.

Fans of the original trilogy need to seek out Harmy's Despecialized Editions of those 3 films. In a nutshell, this dude Harmy has used the best source material available to put together releases that are as close to the original cuts as possible. I was absolutely stunned at the quality when I started watching. Remember...in the Cantina, Han shot first.

I was just about to post saying I had a similar download problem until I, after multiple attempts to download, disabled my firewall and antivirus. I'm posting this in case someone else is in a similar position. It's pretty silly that their download setup requires java to begin with and even more silly that you have to disable programs which are protecting your computer.

I will relish every moment of it. During the surprising 2006 run I got way too uptight in the World Series which was entirely disappointing after a great run beating the Yanks and A's (I was in the park for Magglio's walk off). This year I am super into the games but with a bit of a different perspective. I don't really care who the Tigers play as either matchup would be pretty cool. Don'

Thankfully the Yanks didn't score in the 8th or 9th or that (horrible) blown call at second base would have been a huge play in the series. The Tigers are in a great position now and (despite what's posted above) Verlander isn't going to face off against CC unless the Yanks decide, now that they're down 2-0, to pitch him on short rest. Now it's supposed to be Scherzer vs. CC in game 4. As a li

http://chrwradio.com/archive/ In 1965 The Rolling Stones played (what is reported to be) the only Stones show which was stopped due to a riot and did not continue. This show was in London, Ontario (my home town) and if you go to the above link and scroll down to Thursday you can listen to Radio What Wave. This is always a great show with a really knowledgable host, Dave. He was going to do

I suspect this is simply to bring Mick Taylor back into the public eye so, when he is introduced as part of whatever the Stones are going to do for their 50th, more people will have some idea of who he is. Lorne Michaels is affiliated with Fallon's show and SNL and both are filmed in 30 Rock. Perhaps Lorne is going to be somehow involved in the filming/staging of whatever shows they end up doin

While Mick has never made any todger comments publicly, you can't forget that the two of them have known each other well since they were teenagers. During the early years Keith could have become aware of some sensitivy in this area on Mick's part (play on words intended) and still bug him about it to this day.

She Saw Me Coming is a completely boring, throwaway, hit "next" on your cd player remote kind of a song. I think it's fairly crappy from a writing and production standpoint. It's just boring.

Watching Start Me Up, it's nice to see Mick moving...reacting to the music and generally letting loose. This was my first tour seeing the boys and I kinda always picture Mick's moves during "my era" as the contrived posing and motions we see today. I'm going to have to track down some video boots from this era.

The "secret" show @ The Phoenix in Toronto - opener for the Bigger Bang tour. I got a tip from a radio friend for the date of the show. Turns out it was not a well kept secret as there was a good line already formed by the time me and my gal friend arrived. We did a headcount and figured we still had a shot at getting in so we set up camp on Church St. with a bunch of other Stoners

I have a giant floodlight which projects a silhouette of a Stones' tongue into the sky. Whenever there's some sort of crime against rock'n'roll I fire it up and a Stone usually shows up within half an hour.

I'll preface this by saying I've done absolutely no research into Heart's tour schedule but I would point out that the Stones tours last a couple of years and then they take the long break. If Heart is only touring in the summer the two bands may end up playing the same number of shows in a given 5 year period.

Wouldn't it be nice if the Stones could get together and write an album with everyone allowed to contribute?
