This Sunday at Otto's

We'll be at Otto's Shrunken Head and Tiki Lounge this Sunday (Feb 19th).

Be there!

Buddy Love at CBGB's?!?

Someone on FaceBook posted this ad (I'm assuming from the Village Voice) showing one of Buddy Love's appearances at CBGB's. Interestingly enough one of the other groups listed for that day is The Breakaways, which was led by my Radio Flyer bandmate and songwriting partner Gary Feldman.

aaahhh, memories....

Next Sunday night at The Local 269 in NYC

After our Christmas hiatus the band is back to our old tricks, which means we're playing the dive bars downtown.... AGAIN!

Our newest hangout it The Local 269 located at 269 E. Houston St. Come check us out next Sunday February 4th.

My Latest Obsession

In my youth I would hear about a new record, hear a song or two on the radio and then get the album and submerge myself in it. As I got older and had less time to devote to discovering things I changed my method. Now I "acquire" large chunks of music based on a friend's advice or many times on a whim and put them on my iPod without ever hearing it until it comes up on a shuffle.

It's sort of like my own personal radio station except that if I hear something I don't like I can quickly skip to the next song. I then fine tune my library by examining my iTunes and removing those songs that have been skipped.

Every once in a while I come across a gem that so intrigues me that I have to hear it over and over again. Good thing the iPod can skip back as well as forward. Heres my latest obsession; "NYC" by Jason Faulkner.


Now don't be surprised that I didn't already know every song by this guy. You would think he'd be a staple in my collection, being a member of Jellyfish and also because of another song from another group he was in that I've previously been obsessed with, "Alex Again" (but that's another blog post).

"NYC" simply put, ROCKS THE FUCK OUT! And at the same time displays a musicality that makes me smile ear to ear.

Click Jason's photo above and hear the two songs for yourself.

The Mason Williams Phonograph Record

Known for his 1968 hit "Classical Gas" (included here) Mason Williams actually was part of the Smothers Brother Comedy Hour writing team as well as for the Glen Campbell Goodtime Hour and Saturday Night Live.

This slice of 60's pie was ripped from a pristine copy found in my collection, NEVER PLAYED! I used my USB turntable to convert it to high quality (320) mp3's.

Initially it was my intention to go through my records and to listen to them in my car before putting them on my iPod. This album leaped out at me, so much so I had to share it.

If you're a fan of 60's Hollywood pop, I urge you to check it out. Click the pic to download it...

Another Year, Another IPO NY

This year marks the fourth in a row that we appeared at the International Pop Overthrow Festival as it swung through New York City. Our appearance last night (Friday November 4th) was preceded by a photo shoot at Tony's studio.


We then proceeded to The Local 269 downtown and rocked the shit out the place.

Marc Anthony and Cleopatra

Scott and his lovely bride Tracy really did Holloween right this year, appearing as Marc Anthony and Cleopatra. Their constumes were "to the nines!"
