Viva Carlos Santana
I just heard that The Alabama Shakes are going to be playing at the Forest Hills Stadium. It made me sad to think that they are playing such a potentially great venue that ‘sucks and blows at the same time’ … Continue reading
The Lions, The Churchills & some Chocolate

The Wolf of Wall Street

First Utterence by Comus
First Utterance by Comus came out in 1971 and it hit me like a ton of bricks. At the time I was living in Israel and I could not get a copy of the LP. It was not domestically available … Continue reading
