Jimmie Page better get on the ball and start working with a bluegrass band or he’ll miss the boat.-MJS Add comment August 16th, 2007 Driving While RockingThis short article from the Belfast Telegraph says that drivers in Ireland claim that listening to music makes them drive more safely. I’m not so sure about that. The only speeding ticket I ever got was when I was listening to the Ramones and not paying attention to how fast I was going. On a slightly related note, I always make a point to never listen to songs like “Leader of the Pack,” “Deadman’s Curve,” “Teen Angel” or any other tune that even mentions a car when I’m driving because I’m terrified of dying an ironic death. That’s also why I never listen to “Splish Splash” in the shower.-MJS Add comment August 6th, 2007 How Much “Louie Louie” Is Too Much “Louie Louie?”

The audience didn’t seem to mind.-MJS Add comment July 18th, 2007 Happy Birthday, TelstarOn this day in 1962, Telstar I, America’s first telecommunications satellite was launched. Since then, it seems like a gazillion satellites have been launched, but none of them inspired a melody like the one the Tornados recorded in Joe Meek’s studio way back when. Lou Reed gave it a good try, though.-MJS Add comment July 10th, 2007 45 RPM Records Sleeves

Add comment June 25th, 2007 Hit SongsPolice in Naples have busted a mafia radio station where messages were passed along to jailed gang members, who were listening in, by making song requests with coded dedications. So, what songs were requested? Little Walter’s “Boom Boom, (Out Go the Lights)?” Jim Reeves’ “He’ll Have To Go?” One request they wouldn’t have taken is Bernie Torme’s “Shoot the DJ.” Can you think of other titles?-MJS Add comment June 15th, 2007 Happy Birthday, BobIn honor of Bob Dylan’s birthday, here’s a link to Michael Gray’s blog, the guy who compiled the Bob Dylan Encylopedia.-MJS Add comment May 24th, 2007 Posts by Month
