- Legends: Mr. Bill Graham - 12/25/2005
In our opinion, the influence of Bill Graham on the American music scene cannot be overestimated. Though we did not know him (we were, well, young), Bill had a huge hand in bringing all kinds of music to a new audience.
His concerts were legendary, as was his prowess and skill as a music promoter. […] - China Farmer Tax Reform - 12/21/2005
We don't pretend to be "up" on everything happening in China, but this little tidbit caught our eye: the Telegraph's article, China's 800m peasants to escape yoke of farm tax. According to the Telegraph:
A 2,000-year-old grievance will be lifted next year when China scraps taxes for hundreds of millions of peasants, the government's traditional […]
- Johnny's in the basement … - 12/14/2005
Wow. Stuff changes. Local6.com reports "Bob Dylan To Host Satellite Radio Show":

The lighting plays a huge part in this. Of course. The camera is making a recording of light, after all. And right about the […] - New Legs Diamond CD - 12/03/2005
Long-time rockers Legs Diamond have released their new CD, Diamonds are Forever, now available directly from the band on their website. They've also returned from Germany, and posted a few pictures of the band playing.
If you aren't familiar with Legs Diamond, you may find their brand of melodic rock quite tasty. You can listen […] - Water Distillers - 12/02/2005
We've been using a water distiller for over a year. As anyone who lives in Los Angeles knows, the tap water here leaves something to be desired (or perhaps it's just that there's too much something in it — nasty-tasting, it can give you a bit of a tummy ache).
And so, for years prior, we […]
