Runnin' Down A Dream



Here's the preview for the new Tom Petty documentary 'Runnin' Down A Dream" directed by cinema legend Peter Bogdanovich (The Last Picture Show). It'll be showing during the closing weekend of the New York Film Festival and it looks pretty badass if you ask me.

There's also a nice little article about it over here: Big Screen Embraces Hot Muse: Rock Stars.

The 3 DVD 1 CD set will be available only at Best Buy beginning October 16th a week from today!

The waiting is the hardest part...

Yeah Yeah Yeah!


Here's a little gem that's sure to make you smile. As you're probably already aware, almost all the live Beatles stuff is pretty sucky at best - with all the screaming fans they could never really hear themselves sing and play and as a result their showmanship actually deteriorated from around 1964-66. But dig this very tight, super nice live version of She Loves You.

This total goose-bump inducing recording is from back in October of 1963. Beatlemania was in full swing in Britain and quickly spreading across Europe and the Fab 4 appeared on "Pop '63", a Swedish radio show and played an awesome set before a very small studio audience. I was barely 2 years old at the time, still living in the UK and although I know it's possible though not very likely, I like to think that my folks had the radio on and this is when I first became a Beatles fan.

It's been said that this seven song set was John Lennon's favorite live recording of The Beatles. I can totally understand why!

Just 2 and a half months after this performance, The Beatles hit New York, rocked the Ed Sullivan Show twice in one week and, well, you know the rest of the story...

Enjoy!

Are You Ready To Rock?


Hello there ladies and gentlemen, are you ready to rock? This week's episode is a flashback to some of my late seventies rock and roll favorites, so naturally you're gonna want to listen to this loud and perhaps maybe even schedule in a few beers. It's officially fall, the Red Sox are still in the hunt and my birthday is right around the corner so it's time to rock.

Are You Ready To Rock?
Yes! I'm ready to rock! or No. I am not ready to rock...

Make It Louder!

Thank You Cadillac!


Man, I'd forgotten all about Hum's awesome and rocking song Stars. It's from the You'd Prefer An Astronaut lp from 1995 and I just can't get enough of the souring through space guitar sounds on this track!

Thanks to Cadillac, it's featured in the new "Turned On" spots.

Make It Louder!

One Year of Hammond Eggs!

Hammond Eggs #26
Click To Enlarge.

Congratulations to my good buddy Brian Parrish and his groovy Saturday morning Hammond Eggs Show. Celebrating one year on the air over at KSYM, 90.1 in down here in beautiful San Antonio.

Grab a fresh cup of coffee and check it out here, you'll be glad you did!: Hammond Eggs Show!

Above is the cover I did to help celebrate show #26 which features Chinese Checkers by the amazing Booker T & The MGs. And yup, that's me and the man himself, Booker T at this year's SXSW. Booker's one of the nicest and coolest cats I've ever met. Thanks to my bud Shane for the photo.


And how about some Green Onions to go with your fresh Hammond Eggs...


Congrats again Brian, really digging the show man!

peace,

Is This On?


Bon jour and welcome. This is the HMK Mystery Stream Episode 040 - If: Irregular Frequency: Is This On? Well, is it? That's entirely up to you. And just so you know, for some reason this week's episode is a bit more rowdy and louder that our usual stream. Meters were surely peaking during the capture session - lots of red and, as you'll hear, some mixed signals to say the least. We're thinking it must have something to do with those recently detected solar flare-ups and black spots on the sun. Or perhaps it was that interest rate drop. Who knows. Right place, wrong time situation perhaps, hell, it's really just an educated guess. Only Abby knows... Try this one after a couple of cocktails and if possible, make it louder than normal. Stay tuned, we've got some awesome chill and sexy jazz prepared for the fall. Thanks for tuning in and feel free to share your thoughts.

Is This On?

Peace and be careful out there!

Monday Morning Coffee Vibes

Congratulation, you made it to another Monday! As your reward, here's a few fresh little numbers to enjoy as you read your email and drink your coffee this morning.


First up, a little wake up music from 1975, David Axelrod's groovy Go For It from his awesomely funky album Seriously Deep.


Next, a little audio Kahlua for that second cup, checkout Pablo, off of the 1965 Tuff Guitar Tijuana Style from Meester Al Caiola.


And finally, from Scubba off of last year's Bossa n Roses lp, dig this vibey take of Paradise City...

Have a great week,

Migwell
