Styx - Fooling Yourself

Yo era fan de Styx a fines de los 70 y principios de los 80, cuando salieron los discos Pieces of Eight y Cornerstone. Justo antes de que su música "American prog" se degenerara en comercialismo puro con Kilroy Was Here. La canción "Fooling Yourself" la descubrí a fines de los 90 y es ahora mi favorita del grupo. Canta Tommy Shaw, quien recién había ingresado a la banda.

Usman Riaz, is this kid amazing or what?

NPR's Bob Boilen on Usman:

This is simply astonishing. Watch twenty seconds and you'll be sucked into the world of Usman Riaz, an immensely talented 23-year-old Pakistani musician who will change your perception of how a guitar can sound and be played. What's more remarkable is that this Berklee College of Music whiz kid learned much of his dazzling guitar technique by watching YouTube videos at 16. He also learned what he calls "parlor tricks," like body percussion and harmonica. But the classically trained pianist also used the Internet to learn how to write and conduct orchestra pieces and make films. If you're a skeptic, fine, just watch this youngest of TED senior fellows and be dazzled.

http://dublab.com/the-space-lady-live-dublab-sprout-session-03-20-14/

MARCH 21, 2014

This session is a stardust shower that will not only illuminate your ears but your entire life. The overwhelming, otherworldly music of The Space Lady resonates with the greatest of optimistic energy. This positive radiance has now come full circle as the The Space Lady is finally enjoying the acclaim she deserves for her unique form of electronic, pop music. After launching her musical adventures on the streets of Vietnam War era Boston and continuing her sonic sharing for decades following on various city sidewalks, the folks at Nightschool Records have given her music a proper release. The Space Lady’s Greatest Hits is a collection of her signature, synthesized cover songs and some originals penned by her late husband The Cosmic Man. The Space Lady’s music is utterly endearing and full of joy as you’ll discover the moment you press play on this “Sprout Session.”

The Pretenders - Talk Of The Town (Remastered)

March 23 2014 / 23 marzo 2014

Una de mis más tempranas memorias rocanroleras data del verano de 1980, cuando vivía en Río Piedras. Me quedaba despierto hasta tarde para ver el programa televisivo Don Kirshner Rock Concert en WTBS. Para entonces el cable TV era cosa nueva en Puerto Rico. Recuerdo muy bien el video de esta canción de The Pretenders, sigue siendo mi canción favorita del grupo.

One of my earliest rock'n roll memories was in the summer of 1980, when I lived in Rio Piedras, staying up late to watch the Don Kirshner Rock Concert TV show on WTBS. Cable TV was back then a new thing in Puerto Rico. I remember full well watching the video for this Pretenders song. It remains my favorite Pretenders tune.
