I'll kick things off by saying that last night I saw VAN HUNT live at the Black Cat in DC and it was such a great show!! He had us dancing all night and he's quite charming and funny too!

Here's a repost of Todd Rundgren - H.O.B. Sunset 9-22-07 (forgot to bookmark the original)
 ...My bad phone camera shot. One of those "older artists" that has the talent and vision to maintain a career since the late 60s (*The Nazz), and based on the packed house Saturday night, to the present. Probably the first name artist to embrace the internet as a marketing tool and video production as an art form. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= * An edited repost of something I wrote regarding The Nazz some time ago... "So long ago and so far away..." (late '60s), there was Pop and there was Guitar Rock and never the twain was supposed to meet. As a matter of fact during this time, the Guitar Rock crowd looked down upon the Pop people like they were pond scum. Then I heard "Open My Eyes" by this group called Nazz on FM Free Form radio (Guitar Rock land) which combined a not necessarily heavy but cool distored guitar riff, Pop style harmonies and psychedelic flanging. Upon searching out the album... 
...I noticed some the cover imgagery was being used to remind you of another foursome... 
The tracks that pulled me in, along with Open My Eyes, See What You Can Be, If That's the Way You Feel, When I Get My Plane, She's Goin' Down and nice little ballad called Hello It's Me. The vocal harmonies are pure pop, reminding me at times of The Association. Crowded (from the 1st album) could have been written for them and tell me you don't hear melodic and harmonic strains of Along Comes Mary within the verses of Forget All About It (from the 2nd album, Nazz Nazz). So that was my first brush with the "Runt" that would eventually find Utopia and more. Regardless of his many eclectic musical adventures, with tunes like... We Gotta Get You A Woman I Saw the Light Real Man Love of the Common Man Can We Still Be Friends Time Heals Bang The Drum All Day Love Is The Answer A Dream Goes On Forever Something to Fall Back On The Want Of A Nail (among others) ...one thing's for sure. TODD knows POP (the melodic, well written kind). Even long ago. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= The first time I saw Todd Rundgren perform live was with Utopia (RA tour?) on 4/24/77 at Florida State University in Tallahassee FL. 
Very good show with a rather elaborate stage presentation which included Todd playing a custom made Veleno Ankh guitar, Willie Wilcox using an electronic drum kit built onto a motorcycle frame, a Sphinx and a pyramid-like prop. And one point, Todd smashes a guitar made of ice. 
I hadn't seen him perform live again until last year's NAMM show... 
...when he did a gig with bassist Tony Levin. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= With the absence of any keyboards, the setup made it clear that Todd came to ROCK! Todd Rundgren - guitar/vocals Kasim Sulton - bass/vocals Prairie Prince - drums Jesse Gress - guitar/vocals The set covered 30 years of material from his early solo period, through Utopia and his later solo material. Buffalo Grass - One Year Long (2000) I Hate My Frickin? I.S.P. - One Year Long (2000) Black Maria - Something/Anything? (1972) Soul Brother - Liars (2004) Mammon - Liars (2004) Fascist Christ - No World Order (1993) I Saw The Light - Something/Anything? (1972) Black and White - Faithful (1976) Lunatic Fringe - Red Rider cover No. 1 Lowest Common Denominator - Todd (1974) Drive - The Ever Popular Tortured Artist Effect (1983) Tiny Demons - Healing (1981) Mystified/Broke Down and Busted - (Utopia) POV (1985)/Runt (1970) Slut - Something/Anything? (1972) The Walls Came Down The Call cover One World - (Utopia) Swing To The Right (1982) Encore: Trapped - (Utopia) Oops!Wrong Planet (1977) Hawking - Nearly Human (1989) Worldwide Epiphany - No World Order (1993) This was the last show of this tour. A great performance with superb arrangements of these tunes in a guitar-only format. tA  Tribal Disorder

Annie Lennox t is necessary to help others, not only in our prayers, but in our daily lives. If we find we cannot help others, the least we can do is to desist from harming them.

I went to see Manu Chao at the Manchester Appollo. Although the set became a bit samey, a hybrid of rock and reggae, the atmosphere was fantastic. We were right at the back upstairs but everyone was having a great time. Everyone was very friendly too and some girls stopped past us in a car and shared a spliff with us.

) and he really hung out for a while
him! GREAT SHOW 
, but I saw Zapp, Midnight Star and the Time friday night. Missed most of zapp, and by the time we got there, they wer doing covers. oh well. Midnight shocked the hell outta me! I didnt realize how many really good songs they have. They played for about an hour, and were fuckin' awesome. Then came the Time. They were the reason that we went to the show(which, by the way, was Nc A$T's alumni homecoming show) in the first place. I've always wanted to see them, but it seems that I got around to it 20 years too late. I hate, loathe and despise MEDLIES. We got snippets of Get it up, snatches of 777... and a little besmirchment(I made that up) of guitar soloing. It was cool to see Morris doin his thing, I guess, but it left me kinda 
They did sound good, though. Next on the agenda: Coheed and Cabria, Nov. 23rd
