These Songs Have Nothing To Do With the 4th of July
…but maybe they represent freedom in some way…especially the Beach Boys song and Mudcrutch song too!

R.I.P. Bo Diddley, Rock Pioneer
I made a little Bo Diddley Tribute Tape if you wanna honor one of rock’s greatest pioneers by getting down to his grooves. There’s some early Diddley stuff on here that he is best known for and then there’s also some great tracks from his rare 1972 album, Where It All Began. Dig.

What’s My Sign? Do I Come Here Often?
It’s my birthday today and I’ve gotten a lot of well-wishes from friends and family on the phone, text, email, Facebook, and MySpace…thanks to all! I also found this hilarious track about what it means to be a Taurus, from 1967’s The Astrology Album, maaaan.
Here’s the blurb that Audiodrome at the Groovy Fab Forum posted [...]

NewmStradamus’ Prog Prediction Coming To Fruition
Ummm, this is pretty wild, but I just found that hip Brooklyn blog-rag, Brooklyn Vegan, is reporting (in multiple posts) about unhip iconic progressive rock band, Yes, in a non-ironic or negative way! The posts are regarding Yes’ 40th Anniversary tour starting this June. Of course half of the comments are negative and [...]

The Best Band You’ve Never Heard In Your Life - Blodwyn Pig
The band, Blodwyn Pig (blawd-win) is definitely one of the Best Bands You’ve Never Heard In Your Life. The band formed after original Jethro Tull guitarist, Mick Abrahams left Tull in 1968. It is said that Abrahams and Ian Anderson did not agree on the musical direction of the band, Abrahams preferring the [...]

All We Are Saying Is Give Beef(heart) a Chance…
So Trout Mask Replica had you as confounded as it had me when I first checked it out from the library in high school? As is the case with most bands, it seems like the most critically heavily-lauded album is usually not my favorite. It’s even the case with the Beatles…I’d rather have [...]

ATTN: Saturday is…
So Saturday is Record Store Day and I guess the reason we’re starting to celebrate it is because of the death of the music industry as we know it. I gotta say I look back on the record store days as pretty sweet. Me and my sister used to go to the local [...]

Dig This!: Positive ELP Review, More Proof of Prog’s Comeback
I was pretty blown away when I found New York’s super-hip independent paper, the Village Voice, writing up the recently remastered and rereleased Emerson, Lake & Palmer live document, Welcome Back My Friends To The Show That Never Ends. Then I almost swallowed my eyeballs when I saw that the review was resoundingly positive! [...]

The Best Band You’ve Never Heard In Your Life: Colosseum
The band, Colosseum, is definitely one of the Best Bands You’ve Never Heard In Your Life. The band formed in England in 1968 by three ex-John Mayall’s Bluesbreakers players, rounded out by a guitarist which they soon recruited. Their second album, Valentyne Suite, was their first to be released on Vertigo Records, which [...]

REPOST: NewmRadio NewMix Podcast
I’m reposting last week’s podcast for those of you that missed it:
After not having created a podcast music mix in a long time, I got the hankering to do so this week. I had all these perfect songs in my head and as I put it together, noticed that they all fit together quite [...]

The Case for (Phil) Collins: Chicago Edition
All right, we all knew this was coming, after the ‘Stay The Night‘ rape-song post. It’s the Chicago Edition of The Case for (Phil) Collins! Now we all know that Chicago has made some cheesy music as most all of us were conscious during the 80’s (’You’re the Inspiration’, ‘Hard Habit To Break’), and [...]

Dig This!: Chicago - Stay The Night
Well, let me explain this before you do something drastic and decide to never frequent this blog ever again. Friday night, Franny (whose performance as Mrs. Bingley-Hardin in a the Impact Theater One-Act Festival was brilliant!) and I were out at a bar with Jess, Chippy, Jake, Kate, Richard, and an end-of-10-day-fast Cara, following the [...]

Girl, You’ll Be A Woman Who Has No Faith In Medicine Soon
Did the White Stripes ‘jack’ a riff from Urge Overkill? Wow, I just noticed this as the White Stripes “Girl, You Have No Faith In Medicine” from the Elephant album came up on shuffle. I thought to myself, ’strange, I didn’t know I had an Urge Overkill bootleg on my iPod,’ and then [...]
