Cream: Leavin’ Town Baby (Stockholm, March 7th 1967 Sveriges Broadcast)
Cream Leavin’ Town Baby (Stockholm, March 7th 1967 Sveriges Broadcast) Blue Cactus Cream. The great power trio. The great supergroup. British Blues Boom wunderkinds. They blazed a trail – and it can be hard to remember back what with Ginger now gone and Jack Bruce before him. And Clapton just drifting along into retirement – […]Archive

Mark Isham & Isabella Summers: Little Fires Everywhere [Original Soundtrack]
Mark Isham & Isabella Summers Little Fires Everywhere [Original Soundtrack] Hollywood Records, Inc. Little Fires Everywhere was a fantastic TV mini-series; loved it.

Poem: I Grew Up Watching Mork & Mindy and Popeye and Good Morning Vietnam and Listening to Live At The Met…
Robin Williams only had a few bits and he did them over and over again, talk show to talk show to stage and screen always on, always braving it strong with the same set of voices, the same comedic choices – a hyperdrive improviser he bought and sometimes stole his material but there was never […]Archive

The Vinyl Countdown # 142
Kermit Schafer, Pardon My Blooper! (1954) It’s credited to Kermit Schafer – an American TV and radio writer and producer. But that doesn’t concern me at all. This silly, dated, embarrassing, unfunny collection of bloopers is on vinyl. It comes from the 1950s. Many of the moments wouldn’t even raise a dry smile, let alone […]Archive

The Vinyl Countdown # 155
Mike Post, Television Theme Songs (1982) I feel like I learned about Mike Post from school – not that there were any of his songs to ‘sing’ (or his TV themes, rather) but his classic Hill Street Blues Theme was a staple of piano lessons. Ah! I’ve got it. We did sing one of his […]Archive
