Nice tribute to Pink Floyd and Richard Wright. The last Pink Floyd album I bought was ‘Dark Side Of The Moon’, after that they lost their appeal for me. I much preferred them in their Syd Barrett days. Here are two other bands that drastically changed direction after the departure of very significan...

Hello Vecchiolarry, nice to hear from you again. Hope you’re doing well.

You’re right, I may be being a little unfair to her as far as her talent goes. Her tragic demise reads like a Hollywood cliché. Booze, drugs, suicide and dead at 42.

Welcome to THE MENS ROOM , a tasteful celebration of the female form. First up is Marie McDonald , an obscure actress who's acting abilities were minimal to non-existent, but she was cute as a button and thereby earns her place in THE MENS ROOM hall of fame. http://metry.road.googlepages.com/2668705...

Mr. Arkadin, God bless you for posting those videos. One of my all time favorite people. The amazing and wonderful Kate Bush . A totally unique and unusual talet. What an imagination she has. Crazy and unselfconsciously weird. I literally wore out three copies of her album ‘ Hounds Of Love ’ (on vin...

Well, here we go again. I'm evacuating the gang to my father-in-law's house in Monroe within the hour. Good luck and best wishes to all you DJ's and your families. See you after the storm.

Great music from all you DJ's (I expect no less). This is still the best show in town. You guys did a fine tribute to Isaac Hayes a little while back. Here's my belated tribute. Sadly, not the full ten minute version. Isaac Hayes - By The Time I Get To Phoenix [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v...

AKA The Detroit Spinners - Lazy Susan . A favorite of mine.

John Martyn - Solid Air from John Martyn's superb 1972 album Solid Air. A song he wrote for Nick Drake.

September draws nigh and my two girls will finally be heading back to college (thank God for scholarships). So this weekend we go shopping for a used car.

Dear Stuart, I recently changed to Comcast cable because 'BBC America' was provided as part of their regular package. I have to say that it has been a total disappointment. It is truly awful. Last night for instance we were treated to several back-to-back episodes of 'Plastic Surgery Junkies' (I did...

Happy birthday Mrs.Arkadin. Lovely song Mr.Arkadin, it's a favorite of mine to. Thanks for posting. My wife is also a small town girl. From Bogalusa (where?) to be exact. The whole town smells like boiled cabbage because of the stink from the papermill.

GINO WASHINGTON, great record. But not to be confused with Geno Washington who had several minor hits in the UK in the 60’s which are now considered Northern Soul classics. Discovered by guitarist Pete Gage. Geno was stationed in England with the US Air force. Upon leaving he formed Geno Washington ...

Klondike, that's absolutely beautiful. The best reponse to a post I've ever recieved.

The only contemporary SciFi movies to give me any food for thought are, ‘Children Of Men’. The vision of absolute and total social collapse is quite terrifying. I cannot imagine living under such conditions. And, ‘V For Vendetta’ which was somewhat spoiled for me by its simplistic and biased politic...

Here's a song written by Sir Paul of Alimony for Mary Hopkin in 1969. She had just been signed by Apple and needed a hit. I was quite enamored with this girl back in the early 70's as a young teenager. Mary Hopkin - Goodbye [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TbhEtYdZ3Wo[/youtube] And here's Mar...
