Smashing Pumpkins →
The Smashing Pumpkins are quickly rising as one of my new favorite bands. Their mix of grunge and alternative rock mixed with a touch of pyschedelia on top of Billy Corgan’s genius lyrics makes them easily one of the best bands of the 90’s, in my opinion… I got an amazon.com gift card for Christmas so I bought the Siamese Dream deluxe edition package. The box includes: Siamese...

Change in direction
So now that the social media class that I originally created this Tumblr for is over, I am going to move from a business to a more casual and personal approach for this page. I will give more of my opinions, and document my travels and life (mainly as they apply to live music) from here on forward. I will still update with jam band news and setlists, ect, but it just wont be as formal as...

Live Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers →
Been on a Petty buz lately. Here is a killer show from England 1980. Too bad Tom and the Heartbreakers don’t jam and play like this anymore. Highlights are the Fooled Again (I Don’t Like it), Breakdown and Shout as well as a standard, but rocking American Girl…

Bluegrass in Brooklyn
Two words that seemingly never go together: Bluegrass and Brooklyn. But tomorrow (Friday 12/9) the two will be in harmony as Cornmeal and Hot Buttered Rum play at the Brooklyn Bowl. Cornmeal, hailing from Chicago, and Hot Buttered Rum, hailing from San Francisco, play music about as far off as what you would generally think of when you hear Brooklyn, especially the neighborhood where the Brooklyn...
