I got Ssssh’d at a Hall & Oates Concert last night.

What’s wrong with that statement? Not what you think. I have never hid my fondness for the blue-eyed soul. As a matter of fact, anyone who will listen will get an earful as to why Hall and Oates were one of the greatest pop duo’s of the late 20th century. 6 #1 Songs, 7 Platinum albums , Song Writers Hall Of Fame?? Forget about it, most “artist” on the charts today can’t see fit to pull up their pants.

With that said, I was fortunate enough to enjoy an evening of Holiday music with Daryl and John at the Beacon Theater. I sat respectfully through new interpretations of traditional Christmas classics but I don’t think that anyone was fooling anyone as to why we were all really there…to get our “Private Eyes” on. But before that could happen, their version of “O Holy Night” did run on a bit long. My friend Carrie and I took that time to catch up ” how are the kid’s, price of metro cards , blah blah” , when the woman in front of me in the most un-christmas-like spirit turned in her chair and ssssh’d me. Like my loud conversation was ruining her experience. Bah Humbug.

C’mon lady. We all came here for the same thing. To get a little taste of the past. I bet this kind of thing did not happen at the Led Zeppelin Concert Monday night.

      Do You Remember Rock & Roll?

      If not, let the Alabama Shakes remind you. They’re selling out shows across the country and their debut album isn’t even out for another couple months. I managed to see these blues-infused soul grabbers play a jam packed show at the Indy in San Francisco last night. Best overpriced scalped ticket I ever bought! Don’t [...]

      Love Letter from the West Coast

      Oh, hey there, East Coast! Looks like you had a bit of an earthquake, huh? Don’t worry, I’m not gonna razz you about it. You’re ill-equipped for the tremors. A big quake would be way more catastrophic there than it would be here. You’re right to be a little jumpy about it. Well, I’m no [...]

      Did You Hear That: Adele “21″ a brief review

      From the first beat of “Rolling in the Deep,” the first track on Adele’s new album, “21”, it is clear that even at such a young age (all of 22 now), singer/songwriter Adele continues to be a force stronger than she may know. As “21” dips into the style of the country South with a [...]

      So Sayeth Pam: The Raveonettes “Forget That You’re Young”

      I like a young American band that makes vintage-sounding reverbalicious melodies. Specifically if those bands are Crystal Stilts, Vivian Girls or Dum Dum Girls. Call me a nationalist but I just happen to prefer their take on fuzz pop to that of their Danish predecessors, the Raveonettes. Which is not to say I dislike the [...]
