Burgo’s Blog - A Retrospective Mixtape
June 5th, 2008
So, I realised the other day that this blog has now been live for over 6 months (when you include the few months I was on a Wordpress hosted domain), and I thought now was as good a time as any to take a step back, and look at some of the tunes we’ve heard […]
Live Music Friday - Howie Day live at The House of Blues. (Or, I’m in mourning. I missed the Howie Day gig.)
May 15th, 2008
I’m in serious mourning here. Somehow, the fact that Howie Day was in Brisbane – or even Australia, for that matter – opening for Whitley completely flew under my radar, and I only found out after it was too late. To put this into perspective, Howie Day is one of my ultimate “hope and pray […]
Live Music Friday - Bob Schneider at Antone’s, 2002
May 2nd, 2008
Time for another Live Music Friday! Following on from our Alex & Angela Dezen post here, and The National Black Sessions post here, today we’ll be following up with a Bob Schneider show from 2002.
Bob Schneider, live at Antones, 2002
Bob Schneider… always an electrifying live show…
Bob Schneider is, quite possibly, one of my favourite singer-songwriters […]
Billy Bragg - Live on Fair Game
April 28th, 2008
Billy Bragg recently performed a live set on PRI’s “Fair Game”
Billy Bragg, the “working class hero”, recently performed a set on one of my favourite shows, PRI’s “Fair Game“. And it was stunning.
I truly feel that Bragg has been responsible for some of the best protest songs that we’ve heard in the last 30 years… […]
After almost a week off from the blogosphere, there are a few songs that I haven’t told you about… so we’ll just jump right in…
Matthew Ryan - American Dirt & Gone For Good
Matthew Ryan… don’t call it a comeback!
Matthew Ryan has - for the most part - flown under the mainstream radar, even though he’s […]

Later with Jools Holland celebrates in style…
February 4th, 2008
One of my favourite music shows, “Later… with Jools Holland“, has just reached a milestone this month, broadcasting it’s 200th episode.
Times Online has a great article about the night in question, and also a bit of background information on the show:
The cake has been sitting all day in the middle of Studio 1 at BBC […]
Ray Lamontagne - Crazy (Cover)
January 29th, 2008
So, following on from yesterday’s post, there are two more quasi-hip-hop songs that I think you should hear. The first of those was here, and now the second (pushing the bounds of the term “quasi-hip-hop songs”), is:
Ray Lamontage - Crazy (Gnarls Barkley Cover)
Ok ok… it may not be a strictly hip-hop song, but I had […]
Nina Gordon - Straight Outta Compton (Cover)
January 29th, 2008
So, following on from yesterday’s post, there are two more quasi-hip-hop songs that I think you should hear. And the first of those is this one:
Nina Gordon - Straight Outta Compton (NWA cover)
Nina Gordon may still be most well known for her days with Veruca Salt, but since leaving the band in the 90s, she’s […]
Hey Ya (Cover) - Obadiah Parker
January 28th, 2008
This may spawn a week of quasi-hip-hop cover posts; I’m not too sure yet. But ever since I heard this cover by Obadiah Parker of Outkast’s “Hey Ya” last month, it’s been playing on a pretty much non-stop repeat.
The cover has become something of a Youtube phenomenon, with lead singer Matt Weddle’s free voice […]
