Another rock ‘n roll auction recently sold music memorabilia from Elvis, Jimi Hendrix and The Beatles. This is a pretty common event these days, but the name behind the transaction is what caught my eye this time.
I hadn’t heard of The Fame Bureau before, but their website says…

I recently found a new music website called TuneGlue. The site is described as a Relationship Explorer. Hmm, interesting.
A little click and drag action brings up various applets for discography, news, artists websites and most importantly, relationships. That’s the one that really makes this site tick, because relationships shows the [...]

How Has America’s Financial Health Changed in the Last 30 Years? November 19th, 2008 by William Blake The answer to that lies in remembering just what we were like in the late seventies, and where we are now. There may be many who are not old enough to remember that time, and what our finances were like. Those of us who do, compare these two times with a mixture of nostalgia and good riddance. Let’s look at a slice of life back in the late seventies. A loaf of bread cost .32 cents, a gallon
As you may have heard by now, Rod Stewart confirmed last week that all the surviving members of his old band, the Faces (including current Rolling Stone Ron Wood and former Who drummer Kenny Jones), are planning to reunite for at least a tour next summer. Could this be a case of Rod redeeming himself? Well, perhaps. I did mention in an earlier post that the best thing Rod could do at this point in his career was record a quick album with Wood and a tight rhythm and horn section. This is prob
You and I was produced by Bernard Butler and will be released January 20th on French Kiss Records. NIck Johnson talks about the record and working with Butler: “For the album we all felt Bernard was the best for our band. He just seems to understand us as a group more than most. He’s very hands-on with the pre-production, with a clear vision for how each instrument has a part to play in bringing the best out of a song. For the first time I’ve written songs with the studio in mind, as oppo

By Jason Clarke Last night, I attended the Churchill Club’s “Sixth Annual What’s Hot and What’s Not in Personal Technology”. Guest speakers Greg Harper, President, Cerberus Corporation, and Co-founder, Gadgetoff, Walt Mossberg, Columnist, The Wall Street Journal, Evan Williams, CEO, Twitter, and Kara Swisher, Co-Executive Director, AllThingsDigital, presented a smorgasbord of anything and everything in personal technology from the weird to the wonderful to the downright bizarre! Hidden somewh
Who is #1 in this week’s Pacman Jonesin’ official power rankings? Who is #32? I think you can guess #32. #1 might be tougher - but not a lot tougher. The rankings after the jump… # Team Comment 1 New York Giants Just ran over a pretty good Baltimore team - and I mean ran. Their defense misses Michael Strahan like their offense has missed Jeremy Shockey. My only worry is that they’re peaking too soon. They need to think about baseball. Or maybe Roseanne. 2 Tennessee Titans A phra
In 1984, British singer/songwriter Robyn Hitchcock emerged from a self-imposed hiatus to record and release perhaps his finest solo record, I Often Dream of Trains, a strange hodgepodge of stripped-down, surrealist songs dreamlike in quality: haunting and obscure one moment and brash and vivid the next—paralytic while kinetic. While Trains, which Hitchcock refers to as “home really, the place I come from,” might have been out of place among mid-eighties rock—think Prince, Springsteen, and U2—th
Comedy Central has sent along this clip from A Colbert Christmas: The Greatest Gift of All, airing at 9 p.m. Sunday on Comedy Central. And this isn't even the highlight of the show, which finds unique uses for Elvis Costello, bears, Toby Keith, bears, John Legend, nutmeg, Willie Nelson, Feist, angels, cop cars and bears. -- Robert Philpot
For WFMW, I decided to pull out the mistletoe and nativity scene and start thinking about the holiday traditions we'll create in our home over the years. I'd love to hear about any of your special traditions as well - so leave a comment if you please! --------------------------------------------------------------- I am starting to feel the Christmas Spirit wafting in and out of my heart. My days are starting to be spent thinking up traditions and plans for my family, and doing a bit of online
I don’t want to go… From CMT News, via Uncle: Hank Williams Jr. Plans to Run for U.S. Senate Will wonders never cease?! Hank Williams Jr. says he will run for the U.S. Senate as a Republican candidate during the next primary election. It is my understanding that Hank has already talked with Sen. Lamar Alexander and former Sen. Bill Frist — both Republicans — regarding his candidacy. If you wonder what might be on his agenda if/when he gets elected, here are the lyrics from his song “If The South
Maybe we could just consider this the opening salvo in the War on Christmas, the shock -n-awe portion. What would Christmas be without Stephen telling us what we should be feeling and how much? This is an event so big that I got a press release, and among all the pretty words on the page are:In the special, Colbert is on his way to perform with Elvis Costello in New York City but is trapped by snow in his cabin in upstate New York (bear country). Luckily, his friends Feist, Toby Keith, John L
Anyone who has ever heard songs written by The Pons’ Tommy Mazzi knows to expect infectious melodies complete with a little late 90s indie guitar rock and tight, witty lyrics. Beginning with Lalaland, the previous incarnation of The Pons, and 2004’s single “Let’s War”, Mazzi has always cocked a curious eyebrow towards our society’s ongoing emptiness – empty wars, empty consumerism, empty hearts. “Wherever You Are”, the lead off track from In the Belly of a Giant, is no exception. With Ma
Stephen Colbert's A Colbert Christmas: The Greatest Gift of All comes to Comedy Central on Nov. 23, with musical numbers from Stephen Colbert, Elvis Costello, Feist, Toby Keith, John Legend, Willie Nelson and Jon Stewart. Here is a preview, with more after the jump:
Truth be told, we were initially going to do an Illustrated Guide on the Smiths, given this new compilation is out, but... well, it's a well worn path, isn't it? So many books, papers, articles, thinkpieces, conference minutes and scrawled notes have been penned on the whole story from New York Dolls letters to Severed Alliance and beyond that by now you can probably come up with a decent explanation yourselves that references working class mores, prosthlytising, English poetry, gender roles, ki
There is no shortage of the letter “e” in the title for this hat. Belgian hat designer, Elvis Pompilio, worked with Ann Demeulemeester on this melusine hat. Made in Belgium from 100% wool, the hat comes at a premium rate, just like all Demeulemeester’s good. Hold on tight - 1175$US from AR. Woah.

Beatles Star Remembers Friend Sir Paul McCartney has admitted in a new interview that one of the first things he thinks about when he goes into the studio is the opinion of former songwriting partner John Lennon. The legendary songwriter has recently returned to the studio to record a new album with his project The Fireman. Together with producer Youth he has crafted an energetic set that challenges his own reputation. In an interview with BBC 6Music the former Beatle admitted that John Lennon
