Another early techno classic

April 3rd, 2008

Not sure why I’m in a techno mood today, could it be because we’re “only” 140 or so days away until depature for Burning Man?
Also from the 90’s, one of the all time greats that you may recognize from the movie Transpotting.
Performed live, by Underworld, it’s… Born Slippy!
Great Song, right at […]

Have you ever tried to find a song you heard years and years ago, but you couldn’t remember the name of the song, or who did it?

Embarcadero Blues

November 14th, 2007

I came across this while surfing tonight, a sweet, almost Beatles-esque song about working in the service industry on the Embarcadero in San Francisco (The Financial District). Very bitter sweet song, that really reminds me of a lot of things going in my life right now (I also work in the Embaradero, […]

Starting Young

This is what happens when a kid learns to play an instrument at the age of 2.
I’m guessing the coke habit starts at 14?

For the last 7 years that I lived in San Francisco (’95 - ‘02), Tracy Chapman was my neighbor across the street (mansion at right). While living there, I began to travel and explore the world — Europe, Chicago, Las Vegas, New York, Burning Man, all for the first time — until I decided […]

By Restless
Rolling Stone just came out with its 40th Anniversary Issue. I remember buying issue number 2 from a street vendor on Polk Street back in the day. That’s how it was first sold, just like other indie newspapers (the Berkeley Barb, Bay Guardian, Haight Ashbury Oracle).
It was a San Francisco mag, run first out […]
