In two weeks' time, I'll be journeying to Atlanta to witness influential reggae/ska/funk kings Fishbone playing live, mostly to support their most recent documentary "Everyday Sunshine," which you can purchase on iTunes. Before they set out on a short tour of the south, the 'Bone rocked the stage at JKL, first with classic track "Everyday Sunshine" off their 1991 album "The Reality of My Surroundings." http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zk7s7FtCGSI Then they broke into their most recent hit "Crazy Glue," which was quickly prefaced by the hook/chorus from their ...

If planned correctly, you can get a nice sample of everything you love, try something new, and hopefully avoid items that you simply don't agree ... Read More

The Music Box @ Fonda - Hollywood, CA 02/04/09 A long long time ago, I was a student in Mrs. Machado’s kindergarten class. I played with blocks, learned my letters and came down with head lice on three separate occasions. It was during this time that three men (Fat Mike, Smelly and Eric Melvin) were forming a crappy little punk rock band. 25 years later, I no longer have head lice, or play with blocks. I may have learned the letters N-O-F-X in ... Read More
