Listening to sound bites and small clips of Beatie Boys songs, because NBC has decided the a new film is worth the time to give it exposure.
and Belle and Sebation's "The Party Line"
Throwback Saturday ?
from Jimmy Fallon's show-
Adam Horovitz, aka Ad-Rock, appeared as a guest on Friday night’s episode of The Tonight Show. There to promote his role in Noah Baumbach’s new film While We’re Young, Horowitz confirmed it was his first-ever solo talk-show interview. He was far from nervous, however, making quips about his acting pedigree and his wardrobe for the evening, and also relaying a story about Beastie Boys’ time opening for Madonna.

It may not be playing against type, but for Mr. Horovitz, making the movie was a stretch — a welcome one. With the Beastie Boys on indefinite hiatus after the 2012 death of Adam Yauch, a.k.a. MCA, Mr. Horovitz has been casting about for a new creative role, he said over coffee recently. “It’s weird when you have an identity for so long, that that’s who you are,” he said of his 30-year reign as Ad-Rock. Post-Beastie, “I haven’t figured out what that identity is.”
With Mike Diamond (Mike D), he is working on a Beasties memoir — but it won’t be ready anytime soon. “As a band, we always took a really long time to make records, so unfortunately, we got into that habit of, like, ‘we’ll work on it tomorrow,’ “ Mr. Horovitz said. He had acted in small films in the ’80s and early ’90s, and he and Mr. Baumbach are friends, introduced years ago through Mr. Horovitz’s sister Rachael, a film producer. So when Mr. Baumbach approached him with the role, “I feel like he did me a big favor,” Mr. Horovitz said.
Mr. Baumbach had long thought about casting him. “I love Adam’s voice, I love his countenance — there’s something very dry about him,” he said. Earlier he’d considered him for “Greenberg,” another film starring Mr. Stiller. All three grew up in New York, the children of artistic parents. “There’s a sensibility that we all connect to,” Mr. Baumbach said, and shared cultural references. (Cookie Puss, a trippy Carvel ice cream cake that wound its way into the Beastie Boys debut single, looms large.)

Today, ESPN decided to air the film on the 1989 tragedy of the 7.1 earthquake that brought so much pain to California.
Back then, I watched what was happening on cable news, and I cried. So many people suffered and died.
I did not know that Candlestick Park was so old. Thank the stars, that the stands did not collapse on that day. Our Fenway Park baseball field is very small, in comparison.
What a Boston Globe writer had to say-
http://www.bostonglobe.com/sports/2...orld-series/JYuKVFSPl53FhCptkj9kdK/story.html
The next day, Vincent held a candlelight press conference on the third floor of the Westin St. Francis and announced that there would be no game Wednesday.
The Series would be interrupted for a full 10 days.
“It is a difficult time for San Francisco and the whole Bay Area,’’ said Vincent. “It is a great tragedy and it coincides with our modest little event.’’
The commissioner was asked if he had been bothered when the NFL played its full schedule of games two days after President John F. Kennedy was assassinated in 1963, and he said he did not remember being offended.
While the commissioner spoke in the dimly lit room, fires still smoldered in the Marina District as evacuated residents attempted to get permission to return to their homes. It was at a Red Cross shelter there that the intrepid Grossfeld took a photo of an unshaven, 74-year-old Joltin’ Joe DiMaggio, standing in line, trying to determine the whereabouts of his sister.
On Thursday, we were allowed back in the Stick, where the Giants took batting practice. The upper deck was still closed while safety inspections were being done, but I sneaked into the auxiliary press box to recover a jacket I’d left behind.
Like a bell-tower clock that always reads 5:30, the upper deck was an eerie space, frozen in time with filled-out scorecards, half-full cups of beer, and unswept peanut shells under the seats.
The Series did not resume until late the next week, and the A’s picked up where they left off, beating the Giants two more times to sweep the series. A’s manager Tony La Russa, now in the Hall of Fame, needed only two starting pitchers for the entire Series. Dave Stewart and Mike Moore each went twice. With 12 days of rest.
One of Grossfeld’s photos from the quake wound up on the cover of the Sacramento Bee, and a couple of weeks later, he got an angry call from the man in the photo who’d been captured looking terrified while he clung to his young child.
“It turned out that the guy had called in sick for work that day so that he could take his kid to the Series,’’ remembers Grossfeld. “Then his boss saw the photo and the guy got in trouble.’’
We all have our stories.
It’s easy to get swept up in moments like this. It always seems like the biggest thing ever. Until the next thing happens. Still, every 25 years or so, it’s worth taking a look back and remembering what it was like when the earthquake at the World Series was just about the biggest story there ever was.

I spent the last couple hours listening to and playing Wurlitzer electric piano and doing a ruff mix on a song by Sara Quah that I am producing.

"10 seconds to implosion."
I am guessing that Byron would have liked the "Stealth" film.

I was apparently listening to this last night... and it's still stuck in my head.
United State of Pop 2009: Blame It on the Pop
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iNzrwh2Z2hQ
I know you want pop, you want dance, you want rock and roll
You wanted boom boom? This year’s remix got symphonic soul
I got pop, I got dance, I got rockin’ electronic club beats,
I got hip-hop music with the future flow,
So don’t worry, even if the sky is falling down, down, down
Gonna be ok when it knocks you down, down, down,
So baby don’t worry, it’s alright, a-alright when it knocks you down
When you go down, when you go down down
No need to worry, just pick back up when you’re tumbling down, down, down (down, down)
It’s like I’ve been awakened
Every step I’m taking
Every rule I had you breaking
Every move I’m making
The risk that I’m taking
The chances I’m taking
With a big smile on my face
And it never seems out of place
Blame it on the pop, blame it on the dance, blame it on the rock and roll
Blame it on the rumba, so in sync with the symphonic soul
I like that pop, I like that bass, I like them rockin’ electronic club beats
Blame it on the hip-hop music with the future flow
Baby, don’t worry, it’s alright, a-alright when it knocks you down
Somewhere far along this road,
Stressed out, I wanna let it go, I feel down, down, down (baby are you down, down, down, down, down)
And oh, (hey) I’ve been traveling on this road too long (too long)
Just trying to find my way back home (back home)
The old me is dead and gone, dead and gone
I gotta feeling
Woo hoo
I found God
Blame it on the pop, blame it on the dance, blame it on the rock and roll
Blame it on the feeling of the music deep insi-i-i-ide your soul
We got the pop, we got the dance, we got the rockin’ electronic club beats
We got the hip-hop music with the future flow
People in the place
Put your put your hands in the air
Now put your hands up, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Forever united here,
Blame it on the po-po-po-po-poker face po-po-poker face
So live your life (hey!)
Let’s live it up (Ho!)
If you wanna get down (Hey!)
down (Ho!) down (Hey!)
Muh muh muh muh (Ho!)
I wanna get down, (hey!) down, down (Ho!)
So baby, don’t worry, it’s alright, a-alright when it knocks you down
When you go down, when you go down down
No need to worry, just pick back up when you’re tumbling down, down, down (down, down)
Blame it on the pop, blame it on the dance, blame it on the boom boom boom
Gotta get that rumba, blame it on the 808 with the boom boom boom
Gotta get that pop, gotta get that dance, gotta get that boom boom pow
I gotta get, I gotta get this year’s remix with the future sound.
I gotta feeling,
But I never really had a doubt,
that tonight’s gonna be a good night,
that tonight’s gonna be a good night,
and I say the same thing every single time
you know that I could use somebody, (woo hoo)
Open up your plans and damn your free (Hey!)
Look into your heart and you’ll find love, love, love
Stop stop stop feeling down, down, down
Can’t you see love, love love?
Isn’t this easy feeling love, love love?
Down down down,
It’s like I’ve been awakened
Can’t you see every step I’m taking
Don’t be afraid
The risk that I’m taking
Can’t you see, I’ve had a little too much feeling down, down, down
Can’t you see every move I’m making
Every rule I had you breaking
Isn’t this easy feeling love, love, love
We’ll make it out of this mess.
Change your mind
Baby just say yes,
Da da da da da da da da da da...

Percy Sledge, out of Leighton, Alabama, sang the soul classic "When a Man Loves a Woman" for Atlantic Records in 1966, and had continued to perform his biggest hit on gigs in the U.S. and Europe. The song "raised the bar for soul balladeering for all time," the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame wrote. He was inducted in 2005. "When a Man Loves a Woman" was reportedly inspired when Sledge's girlfriend left him for a modelling career after he was laid off from a construction job. You'll hear it everywhere today, so here's another of his performances that I like as much, "Bring It on Home to Me."
Percy Sledge died today, at home in Baton Rouge. He was 73.
http://www.laobserved.com/archive/2015/04/percy_sledge_soul_singer.php
Sledge spent most of his life living in Baton Rouge, according to the AP, and he recorded and released albums until as recently as 2013.

Rest in Peace, Mr. Percy Sledge
