N.L. and J.R. on KRAB, and some music gossip to check out - By N.L. Belardes

I was reading the dusk devils blog about a Norwegian write-up of the band when I followed some other links to an old review of, get this, a Buck Owens/Cake duet at the Crystal Palace. Apparently the writer for the Phantom Tollbooth was quite perturbed that MTV/VH1, the Californian, et. al were not around to review this historic moment back in 2003. Give the article a read. It's worth your time.

40 Watt Hype is still tearing it up. Check out their blog where they describe playing "lowrider" at a car show.

Broken Record Gospel has been getting very mysterious lately. Check out their last two blog entries. What's going on there?

Myself and J.R. both appear on KRAB Sunday night(tonight) at 9:30pm. JR mentions us getting together on the radio to talk shop. There's more from JR as he has been chillin' with Karmahitlist and Billy Von. Maybe he will talk about them tonight? I don't plan on saying much... probably just mutter a few, "uh huhs" and "ummm I dunno, Danny" or "Ya know, JR..." something like that. And then uncomfortable silence and dead air followed by Danny Spanks saying, "......OK...."

Or if I'm in a good mood I'll discuss a few local bands, some controversy, the ghosts of Oleander, my recent country music moments and thoughts as to why the music scene appears to both be crumbling and picking up speed at the same time.
