When I used to live in NYC, I used to average about a slice a day. Not too great for the diet, I know, but I’m a slave to the slice. Now I’ve been to so many pizza places in this town, and I’ve eaten out of coal, wood, brick, and gas ovens, and […]

Maybe it was it’s because I love Play It Again Sam so much, but I’m quite sure I’d love Oscar Peterson’s piano playing anyway. The world lost another biggie today. That’s why I tell ya; go out and see those legends while you can! I don’t see them getting replaced so quickly, and every day […]
After a long and delayed flight back to New York, it was a great welcome home when our ride turned on Q1043 where Eddie Trunk was in the middle of the infamous Kissmas Special. It wasn’t anything spectacular, but just the very fact that someone is still doing it is a comfort to me. Here’s […]
Gunslinger DICK WAGNER, isn’t as famous as Eddie Van Halen, but people KNOW what his resume is. I respect his him as a person as much as I respect his contribution to music history, and he’s still going! I included him in Music Connection’s annual Guitar Roundtable. He was happy with our interview and we kept […]
I remember it like it was yesterday. I was in 7th grade and Van Halen were out on the road with a new lead singer named Sammy Hagar. I had no idea about this group Montrose he used to sing for (also produced by Ted Templeman, the band had a direct influence on VH), […]
I’ll be at Moonshadows on Sunday! I’ll be spinning dub, acid rock, prog rock, jazz fusion, funk and soul, eurodisco/italo, and some crazy electronic stuff in between. No Mel Gibson won’t be there, and Vince Neil won’t be doing lines over there like he did in the 80s. Just go up the pch about a […]
One by one, the legends are saying goodnight. I just heard him on Sirius a few months ago, and it made me pull out my vinyl copy of Bad Dreams.Here’s some coverage:LA ObserverBBCYOUTUBE VIA MOJO MAG
I wrote this Pic Of The Week for today’s L.A. Weekly. Good For Jews are the duo of Rob Tannenbaum and David Fagin, hipster-Jews to the N-th (for nachus) degree. Tannenbaum, (who has been featured in New York and Heeb magazines, and is the creator of VH1’s “What I like About Jew) emailed me with […]
pic from NMEIf you’re not talking about THIS, than I have no idea what you’re talkin’ about today, nor do I have the capacity to listen. Yesterday’s concert at the 02 Arena is the first time Led Zeppelin played a full show since 1980, and this reuniting not only went over better than a flaming […]
And on the second to last day of Hanukkah, here in North Hollywood, we don’t exactly have potato latkes but instead I had an urge to make some falafel (using a powdered mix by Sadaf that I wasn’t too crazy about). We threw the whole thing together rather quickly, and only realized as we were […]
