Today’s installment of Award Show Sundays comes to you sorta by accident. I was searching for clips of James Taylor on music award shows, and couldn’t find any footage of him winning anything. The only things that came up were his performance of “Sweet Baby James” from 2003 or so, and the clip I bring you today, which comes from the 1986 ceremony. A very, very dapper JT (the scarf was a very nice touch) and a pretty Linda Ronstadt […]

New Release Report 9/28/10: Walking Down “Lonely Avenue” with Ben Folds
When I saw Ben Folds in concert earlier this year, he noted that the album he’d been working on with British author Nick Hornby had been completed, and I was super intrigued. I’m a pretty major Folds fan, and “High Fidelity” has long been on the list of my favorite books and films (and I also picked up “Long Way Down” over the summer…it was a great read). The one song that Folds played from the collaboration that night was […]
“Going Back” in Time with Phil Collins on His Latest Single
I am a child of the Eighties, and as such, I have a soft spot for Phil Collins. I won’t go so far as to say he’s a guilty pleasure, simply because I feel no guilt about my love for the man.

Phil Collins Tackles the Classics, And I'm Not So Sure That's a Good Idea
There are many reasons I love Phil Collins. These reasons include but are not limited to: 1) “Easy Lover”, “Sussudio”, “Don’t Lose My Number”, “I Don’t Care Anymore” and “Illegal Alien” 2) The fact that a short, average looking guy can sell millions and millions of records. 3) He has a son that looks just like him (when he was younger)…and his son makes music AND likes dudes (and appears to be a guy’s guy…me likey!). Aside from Prince (who […]
Another Rock 'n Roll Hall of Fame Rant?
Well, not exactly. The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame doesn’t interest me enough to really care about it. I don’t know how long the induction ceremony has been televised, but I can say I’ve never watched it for more than, like, 5 minutes. Nope, not even when The J5 or Michael Jackson was inducted (although, to be fair, I didn’t have cable at that point). I happened upon the ceremony last night as I was channel-surfing. I saw Wyclef […]
