David Bowie – Oh You Pretty Things (Live)
It’s hard to think about the holiday season when temperatures have been soaring above 90 degrees of late, but news surfaced last week that Bob Dylan had headed into the

Everything I’ve been reading seems to hint at the New York Times putting all of their old content behind a pay wall soon, so I wanted to take this chance
Earlier this week Tea Leaf Green guitarist Josh Clark posted a letter to the band’s fans on the TLG forum. Apparently a number of fans had been critical of current bassist Reed Mathis and Josh’s letter takes them to task.
Here’s the full text of his post…
While we appreciate and thank you for giving us the oppurtunity to share our art with you and complete the creative circle, I feel it necessary now to remind you of the amount of blood, sweat, tears and sacrifice that goes into being in a grassroots band like this one. The reward is not mansions, lambourghinis and caviar, its the pleasure of making great music exclusively. The demands of constant touring are not easy to survive under and its your support that makes life on the road bearable.
Having said that I would like to address the current discussions going on here regarding our very own Reed Mathis. First of all he is Tea Leaf Greens Bassist. This constant stream of petty criticisms and comparisons is juvenile and embarrassing. Ben left the band. We want to keep playing, let this forever be the light above the door if you want to go with him.
Tea Leaf Green is Reed Mathis, Josh Clark, Trevor Garrod and Scotty Rager.

Back in January 2008, we ran a piece on child musical prodigies, and Quinn Sullivan was one of them. Well, in addition to this kid shredding it on stage with Buddy Guy a couple times a year, he’s now starting to sing as well. The second tune featured here is titled Buddy’s Blues and what I assume is one of the first Quinn Sullivan originals. Watch out for this guy. Buddy Guy plays tonight at The Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles.
