Virginia Talks: Your voice, your opinion, loud and clear.

Late. Or early. Or something.Somebody needs to make this that.(And it’s way too late with way to get to too much. So if you have a problem…that bitch will cut you, so don’t think she won’t.)mp3: Sun is Shining (Bob Marley & the Wailers from Kaya)…

It’s been a looong fucking week at the office, but i ain’t gots no time for none of that bullshit and various other grammatically incorrect vernacular vehemence! That being said, there was just too much good music this week not to share. As it happens,…

Hey local kids! Are you hunting for something to do this evening, other than the oh-so predictable Friday night out binge drinking with the hugely regrettable Saturday hangover? Get yourself out of the gutter and up to Bethesda for some quality, wholes…

Gorgeous ambient sound sculptures by Mr. Scott Ritchie.


:-: JACKFRUIT EXPERIMENT :-:
Members of The Grapefruit Experiment, Dzian!, Pinko Communoids, etc. offer up this variation on the theme (which is creating fascinating sounds in astounding ways).

Back when GNR were in their prime, they alienated their fans by continuously coming on 60, 90 even 120 minutes late. Axl claims to be all about the fans but then forces them to sit around while he gathers his chi or some shit like that for his performance. Axl, get a clue.

Had a great time at the Dukes of September concert on Sunday night.  Dukes of September of course being Donald Fagan of Steely Dan, Michael McDonald & Boz Scaggs.  This show was heavy on the covers including a nice version of the Grateful Dead’s “Shakedown Street” and a mini-set of songs by The Band with each singer taking a song.  And kudos to them for not choosing the obvious.  I really don’t
