The Power and Responsibility of our Nation’s Broadcasters
Tim Robbins’ Keynote Speech at the National Association of Broadcasters’ Convention Monday evening. This is just one of many gems.
In the ’70s, radio took a serious nosedive when Edwin Armstrong invented FM to eliminate the static and noise associated with AM and unwittingly provided a home for easy listening jazz rock, overly dramatic disco songs and 20 minute psychedelic sitar jams.

The Breeders – Mountain Battles
I picked up The Breeders‘ new record Mountain Battles over the weekend. My favorite song so far is “It’s The Love” on side B. A bonus: there’s a Vaughn Oliver designed booklet on the inside. The printing is stunning.
Also just got a documentary on Beulah from the Netflix, A Good Band is Easy to Kill.
A good weekend? Maybe. But then again, I have to file my fucking tax return. So, maybe not.

Peter Parker & Dept of Energy
I ventured out last Friday to catch a couple of bands. Peter Parker and Dept of Energy played live at The Comet Tavern. The Comet is a cool venue to see shows. The bands play live on the floor, but it’s dark as shit in there, making photography difficult. The Globes opened the show, but I didn’t have the Nikon tuned in to get any shots of them. I posted some photos of Peter Parker and Dept of Energy from the show to the Live Rock Photos gallery. Enjoy. Or not. I’ve also posted them to Flickr.
