Well, three that immediately sprung to mind for me were Creedence Clearwater Revival "Down On the Corner", "Time Has Come Today" by The Chambers Brothers, and "Vicious", from Lou Reed. Then, I got lazy and started Googl'in, finding sites like Cowbell Database, Got Cowbell Fever? The 180 Track...

Nah, vuk, I'm a total amateur and don't have photoshop on my new mac mini. But iPhoto has a handy Export feature that allows me to re-size the entire batch while loading it onto the SD card: The landscape/portrait orientation can also be batch-loaded in iPhoto beforehand. Takes but a few...

Heh-heh, no doubt worth is a highly flexible phrase when it comes to family snaps! But, for me, these frames are much more about displaying memories than conveying "art". Unlike computer displays, which demand something resembling focus and attention, digital frames offer the possibility of...

I picked up this one yesterday for Mrs. Dex: IT Works ITW-DPF 802B 99 Euro here in Belgium, 79 squid in rip-off Britain. Cheap, cheerful, faceless Chinese item to be sure, but actually looks much nicer in the flesh than many name-brand rivals. IT boasts 800x600 resolution and a...

Thanks for the heads-up! Looking forward to it. :)

I tuned in late. Who did "A Day In The Life"?

Pimp Yo' Life! Starts 12:40 am. :p

Although The Minutemen and others would certainly make my list, I'll try to stick to a few that haven't shown up thus far...all killa, no filla! Neil Young & Crazy Horse - Rust Never Sleeps The Fall - Hex Enduction Hour The Upsetters - Super Ape Curtis Mayfield - Curtis Os Mutantes - Os...

Thanks for that. :) Now if they could do a remaster job on Imaginos to tone down that late-'80s production glare...

Airing tonight on BBC 2 @ 11:20 PM:

I suppose if one waits long enough, all is possible! ;)

Don't worry, gary, it's a real return to form, easily among my faves of 2006. Just got my tix for his Brussels appearance on January 24th. If his performance a couple week ago on Jonathan Ross was any indication, it should be one storming night!

There's a double-dip helping of His Own Bad Self beginning at 11:55 PM with Soul Deep: The Story of Black Popular Music Aint it Funky: and continuing immediately after with: Electric Proms: Even Mick might tap a toe or two! :p Bobby, go get the cape! :cool:

In terms of sheer impact, influence, and longevity, Brother James was truly a towering presence in R&B, Soul, Funk, and all of their offshoots filtering into Blaxploitation, Disco, Electronica, IDM, Rap, Jazz, Hip-Hop, hell--Krautrock even, you name it and he is there. His singular vision and...
