Halloween...
It's right around the corner and dressing up is always cause for celebration, even if it happens to be as a monster rather than in a gown.
But why, you might ask, am I bringing this up in a music blog? Well, I was turned on to a new side project of Jackie Greene 's called Skinny Singers. It features the California singer-songwriter teaming up with Tim Bluhm of The Mother Hips. The collabor
ation is soulful and bluesy AND has incredible cover art!
I think Superhero costumes are a great idea for Halloween or any time! Hope it gets you in the mood and thinking about what to dress up as for the holiday.
And, while you're thinking, what's YOUR favorite Halloween inspired album cover?

Remember The Sweater?
With the crispness in the air, the reemergence of long sleeve clothes and football, my thoughts return to high school and things I just didn't get very well at the time. I go back to a song that had a pretty hip beat, some witty lyrics- and kind of a spacey, Laurie Anderson-like spoken word delivery. Mostly for me, though, Meryn Cadell's THE SWEATER helped me tap into what girls may have been thinking at the time, and that, gee, they too suffered angst and were mortified by things that went wrong when it came time to trying to impress the opposite sex. However, my confusion may have been confounded, once I learned "her" back story. Bongo Beat Records recently re-released the very excellent ANGEL FOOD FOR THOUGHT. Enjoy the flashback!
Attention Bruce and Arcade Fire Fans!
Bruce played in Ottawa last night and the crowd got a great surprise! Win Butler and Regine Chassagne jumped on stage for a couple of songs. Arcade Fire had just finished up a show in NYC the weekend before. Bruce often has a few special guests on his tours here and there so now, of course, it's time to speculate who might jump on stage at the Verizon Center Shows next month. Hmmmm....Do you think Al Gore can carry a tune all the way through Dancing in the Dark! :)
