Ickmusic’s “Black Friday” Five: November 28, 2008
Now that everyone has slept off their L-tryptophan induced coma and quite possibly spent the morning hunting down the best deal on the latest greatest gizmo it’s time to relax and what better way to do that than with a…
The Happiest of Turkey Days to You
Happy Thansgiving to all. Enjoy your turkey dinners (you fellow carnivores out there). When the tryptophan kicks in after the meal, and it’s clearly nap time, why not treat your family to some Led Zeppelin – lullaby style? Ah, but…
Reggae Riddims, Red Stripe, and Ryan
I’ve been in a pretty deep reggae phase lately, branching out and exploring some artists I’m less familiar with: Jacob Miller, the Congos, Bunny Wailer, the Gladiators… if you ever want to get lost and explore some reggae, go to…
All the Ways I Want You (A YouTube Debut)
While the wife and kids were away at a Saturday afternoon birthday party, dad got some peace & quiet. And when there’s tranquility in the house, I often pull out the guitar. Except this time, I pressed the record button.…
Stream the Dream
Last Sunday night, “Working on a Dream” showed up on Sunday Night Football in heavily butchered form. Well now on New York’s Q104 web site, you can hear the song streaming in all its glory. Stream it here. Dream Baby…

Beyonce, I WOULD put a ring on it, but I gotta clear it with the wife
Kudos to the wife for posting this video on her Facebook page. Now, “Single Ladies (Put a Ring On It)” is clearly not targeted to my demographic, but consider me mesmerized. The tune is catchy as hell. But make no…
The Woes of Satellite Radio
Eek! I thought I was getting such a bargain when I bought a bunch of Sirius stock a few years ago at $2.50 a share. I watched in delight as it rose to almost $8.00 after Howard Stern signed on.…
More Prince Ramblings
I just read this short, what seems to be rather abbreviated piece in the New Yorker. Claire Hoffman was invited over to Prince’s 30,000 sq ft mansion in Beverly Park to chat over carrot soup. It got me once again…
“Outlaw Pete” and Other Songs – New Boss Album Due January 27th
Fresh off the heavily edited debut of his song “Working on a Dream” during last night’s Sunday Night Football half time on NBC (almost in the “why even bother” category, imho), there is great news from the East this morning……
