F4tF: Brighton Beach Boardwalk Lunch

Jon Hochstat June 19, 2009 2 Comments

What better way is there to spend a summer day then to take the F train out to Brighton Beach in Brooklyn, grab a table at a restaurant on the boardwalk and proceed to nosh, drink and people watch. If you do go, the place I suggest you do it at is The Winter Garden at 3162 Brighton 6TH St.

I had the chance to head out there recently and enjoyed fresh herring, home fried potatoes with rosemary and garlic and Russian lager. It was a beautiful late spring day and I snagged a table on the outer edge closest to the boardwalk. The lunch was simple, tasty and brought my back to the foods of my childhood (except the beer of course). READ ON…

Contest: Grace Around The World Giveaway

Jeffrey Greenblatt June 18, 2009 10 Comments

As quickly as Jeff Buckley rose to stardom, he was tragically taken away with fans left only with his debut Grace as the Orange County native’s only fully fleshed out work to fawn over. Since his passing, Buckley’s canon of work has been repackaged and re-released almost as many times as Tupac’s to include demos, live recordings and alternate studio takes for his insatiable fans.

The B List: Ten ABC In Concert Clips

Scott Bernstein June 18, 2009 3 Comments

Live music and network television haven’t exactly mixed very well over the years. You can only find bands playing on late night and even then it’s only for a song or two. ABC’s In Concert series was the rare network television program that actually showed most of a rock band’s performance in concert.

The series debuted in 1972 by airing 90 minute shows – produced by impresario Don Kirchner – and ran until 1974. ABC revived the series in 1991 and it ran until 1998. Let’s take a B List look at ten fantastic videos from ABC In Concert that have been posted on YouTube…

Blips: Three Under The Radar Bands

Hidden Track Staff June 18, 2009 3 Comments

In our never-ending quest to dig up some great bands that cost less than a corned beef sandwich at Katz’s Deli, we bring you another round of Blips. Blips highlights some great bands that are largely still in their larvae stage, but will soon morph into their beautiful butterfly. In this edition, we have some really cool new music, so take a sec, poke around their various websites, and see what you think of these three under the radar musical groups…

Hoots & Hellmouth

Generally, one would look somewhere south of the Mason-Dixon line for spirited gospel-infused Americana, but contrary to conventional wisdom it’s the City Of Brotherly Love that the roots-revival act Hoots & Hellmouth calls home. The band combines its plaintive lyrics with high and lonesome bluegrass harmonies, fire and brimstone playing and folkie-acoustic ballads that will make it almost impossible to keep your feet from stomping along.

If you’re a fan of OCMS or YMSB then this band’s latest disc The Holy Open Secret should fit nicely into your collection of contemporary old-time music. Hoots & Hellmouth kick off their summer tour tonight, with an album release party an New York City’s Joe’s Pub.
