Happy 60th Birthday Bruce Springsteen
On February 5, 1975, Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band played at The Main Point. Springsteen played for 160 minutes, offering epic versions of "New York City Serenade" and "For You". The concert also featured the first live performance of "Thunder Road", under its earlier title, "Wings for Wheels." The concert was given as a benefit, broadcast over WMMR, and hosted by deejay Ed Sciaky.

My Soundtrack (as of 08.23.09 8:14pm)
An old music buddy of mine, Steve Salkin, challenged me with "What's on you iPod." Here's the deal. Get your iPod, iPhone, Blackberry, iTunes or whatever you use to play your music digitally. Turn on the Shuffle and play. Put down the first song that comes up. Skip ahead 5 songs, write down that song. Skip ahead 5 songs, write down that song. And so on, and so on, until you reach 10, 15, 20 or 25 songs (whenever you want to stop).
Steve noted, "No cheating. The song that comes up is the song that gets listed -- no shaking your head "Nah" and skipping ahead because what came up isn't "cool." One caveat: I think you should allowed to skip a song if you've already listed one from the same album/show." Fair enough, Steve. Here's my list:- Inner Meet Me - Beta Band (The Three E.P.'s)

- Kerry - Hall & Oates (Bigger Than the Both of Us) NOTE: Everyone should listen to this album.
- Printemps Qui Commence - Maria Callas (Samson et Dalila, opera in 3 acts, Op. 47: Act 1: ) NOTE: If you never heard this then you've never lived. Beautiful, simply beautiful.

- Ram On - Paul McCartney (Ram [mono])

I Ain't Hiding from the Black Crowes No More
I like the Black Crowes. I have since I first time I heard "Jealous Again" almost 20 years ago. Their music is very similar to that of the Rolling Stones, Aerosmith, and The Faces -- gritty, funky, raw, with a dash of southern charm and dirty bong water.
Last year, after a lengthy hiatus, the Black Crowes released Warpaint. What a disappointment. I said, to myself, why did they release this? I wanted this "comeback" album to be so good and it was so boring. It was after my third or fourth listen that I decided that the Black Crowes were dead to me and nothing could bring me back. Yesterday, I listened to their new single, "I Ain't Hiding." At first listen, I was like, "what the hell is this? Are you kidding me?" I bet I had the same reaction to this song as I did the first time I heard "Emotional Rescue" from the Stones. But there was something "cool" about this record and I listened to it again. And again. And again. Twenty-four hours later I've listened to this song about 15 times. I can't get enough of it. Like "Emotional Rescue" it's got a disco-like groove but its a lot more funky. There's even some "oooh oooh" background vocals, a little wah wah and the guitar solo? Forget about it. Its excellent. If you get chance and you a have a few minutes to listen to this song a few times in a row I promise you won't regret it. Welcome back Black Crowes. I missed you.
