I would love to take a trip to Africa. The news only speaks of the terrible things that go on there, but the continent is full of great things (including at one time, Paul Simon)!

It's been a while since I posted, so I thought I needed to say something. I'm also tired of seeing my last post so I need to push it further down the page. Not much going on with me lately. I'm just waiting for the arrival of my first son. That's a lot going on actually. Well, I just ran across this cool radio site if you want to listen while you're at work or whenever. It has good stations and it's FREE!

Widespread Panic back in the studio!

My friend Coy Bowles has a band that some of you may have heard about. Coy Bowles and the Fellowship play frequently here in Atlanta. Adam Knight the guitarist of [golden] introduced me to Coy a few years ago, and since that time I have seen Coy play several times, both with his current band and with Adam Knight. I have included a recent interview with Coy and his band.

I'm really excited about this!!! The Beastie Boys, realizing that they are now a little old to jump around on stage and rap, have decided to return to their glory days of instrumental jams (see Check your Head and In Sound From Way Out). Apparently they have a new album coming out this June and will be touring this summer although primarily in Europe. Some of these shows will be completely instrumental. Check out the album information and two new videos below.

"The Mix-Up

BEASTIE BOYS GO INSTRUMENTAL, AGAIN

The Mix-Up

All-Instrumental Album Out June 26

Mike "Mike D" Diamond, Adam "MCA" Yauch and Adam "Adrock" Horovitz have confirmed a June 26 release date for their seventh studio album, The Mix-Up, on Capitol Records.

The Mix-Up is Beastie Boys' first-ever full album of all-new instrumental material. The follow-up to 2004's To The 5 Boroughs, The Mix-Up features Diamond, Horovitz and Yauch back on drums, guitar and bass, with able assistance from Keyboard Money Mark and percussionist Alfredo Ortiz, on 12 brand new wordless, sample-less, scratchless originals. Sure to please fans of the instrumental cuts from Check Your Head and Ill Communication and the cult hit compilation album made up largely of those tracks, The In Sound From Way Out!, The Mix-Up finds NYC's favorite sons drawing on one of their arsenal's primary strengths and pushing it into bold new directions.

Beastie Boys will kick off a summer's worth of worldwide touring May 26 & 27 with two sets at the Sasquatch! Festival at the Gorge in Washington State. The band will be playing at several European festivals throughout June and July, including Live Earth at Wembley Stadium on July 7.

The complete track listing for The Mix-Up is:

1. B For My Name
2. 14th St. Break
3. Suco De Tangerina
4. The Gala Event
5. Electric Worm
6. Freaky Hijiki
7. Off The Grid
8. The Rat Cage
9. The Melee
10. Dramastically Different *
11. The Cousin Of Death
12. The Kangaroo Rat

* Yes "Dramastically" is intentional."

Documentary on Jamaican Dub Music

Check out the trailer to the upcoming documentary called Dub Echoes. "Get ready for a reggae trip that will take your mind beyond you've ever imagined. Just follow the bass lines."

It's always puzzled me how white kids from the suburbs love to flash gang signs. If you have ever noticed these white kids flashing these signs then you will like this video.

On the road to great things

I find it funny that many of these advanced Biotech companies have to setup shop outside the U.S. due to our "moral" laws regarding stem cells and research. Anyhow, Emory is associated with another great discovery!

With all this talk about Hip-Hop lately, I thought this was suitable.

This just looks really comfortable, doesn't it?

It's been a while since my last post. Sorry...I've been very busy. I don't have much to say so I'll leave you with this.And for some more sensless entertainment click here, trust me the link is safe. And in honor of 4/20 and Earthday check this guy out!

I'm not sure how I feel about this. In honor of the 40th anniversary, various artists are going to get together and re-record Sgt. Peppers Lonley Hearts Club Band. The two brothers from Oasis are leading this charge. Apparently according to this article they are the two "biggest" Beatles fans currently associated with music. Whatever.

Page McConnell will perform a concert from WXPN and World Cafe Live in Philadelphia on Friday, March 30th at noon ET. If you would like to you may stream the concert live from your computer. You can find the stream here.

According to Harp Magazine, Austin City Limits will be moving from the 6th floor of the Communications Building on the University of Texas Austin campus to a larger location downtown. The producer of the show has assured everyone that their "music-first aesthetic will remain their calling card." The new space increases seating by about 400 people. If you've never watched Austin City Limits, you're missing out. Check your local PBS station for the schedule.

I got to open an early birthday present over the weekend. This thing is fantastic. I can finally play my records again, and if I want to I can take this thing anywhere I want. I can load six records at a time and it has its' speaker built it. It sounds great! So, if you have some records laying around the house that you don't want or you just want to be kind....send them to me! Thanks April!

I love Legos and I love the Beatles, so of course when you combine them both...I'm going to like it. Check these out...
