A nudge in the right direction
by Pete
- Ben at Deeper Shade of Soul hits us with some 1999 era live Prince from Providence.
- Licorice Pizza is back in action. Aiken explores the Clash’s Vanilla Tapes.
- There’s some classic early 90’s live World Party over at Maybe We Ain’t That Young Anymore.
- A kind reader sent over a cool clip of the Boss joining NJ jam band Solar Circus at a small Jersey bar, the day after Jerry Garcia passed away.
- She also sent me Prince joining Tom Petty, Jeff Lynne, Dani Harrison and others at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony for “While My Guitar Gently Weeps”. Always worth a watch to see Prince tear shit up.
- The Duke of Straw gets his fetish on with 30 songs about footwear at The Late Greats.
- It would be foolish to miss out on Radio Free Wohlman’s 2 hour podcast “transmissions”. His latest installment features solo work by Paul, John, George, and Ringo, as well as the Meters, Talking Heads, and a lot more.
- And finally, you can never go wrong with Jefitoblog’s Sunday Mix Tape. Jefito’s latest one covers all the bases, from Cannonball Adderley to Eels to the Isley Brothers.

Pete, that R&R Hall of Fame video is fucking amazing! While I don’t share your huge affinity for all things Mr. Nelson (although I love “Purple Rain” – didn’t that come out the same summer as “Born In The USA”?) I have the utmost respect for him, and his talent. I love his “greatest hits”-type stuff – I guess that makes me a casual fan. But, I thought he rocked the house at the last Super Bowl (most performers don’t) and this video was a great testament to his talent. So, while I’m not a huge fan, I’m still really glad he’s around. That’s some kind of statement on his appeal, isn’t it? Thanks again, Pete, and peace, as always, and watch that little girl around your cds!
