Yet every once in a long while a special an indoor cat. I no longer one comes into my life, and we form a bond that surpasses all make assumptions about others. Such was the case with “Strippey Cat,” whom I recently “quality of life” for a lost.

If it comes back, it’s yours. If it doesn’t, it never was.” Strippey had the freedom to choose. What developed was a love affair like no other.

  • Roots Report: Mardi Gras Warm-Up and More
    Roots Report: Mardi Gras Warm-Up and More Okee dokee folks… The other day I was behind an SUV that was covered with bumper stickers. I strained to read some of them before the light changed. The one that caught my attention stated, “I’m not old, your music really does suck!” I found it kind of funny and sad, but true. Auto-tuned, computer generated, cut and paste songs just don’t do it for me. They are soulless amalgamations of sound and it is amazing that it takes so many people to fabricate these recordings. I posted a comment on my Facebook wall that stated, “Beck is an artist, Beyonce is a product,” in reference to the Grammy Awards. I ruffled feathers with that statement. From what I understand, Beck’s album had one songwriter and one producer, Beyonce’s had 27 songwriters and 19 producers. She can sing, but a lot of folks can. If you had an army behind you, you could conquer the music business as well. Do I need to say more? Yup, I sound like an old fart. Maybe I am. But like another bumper sticker said, “I may be old, but I got to see all the good bands!” I did. If you want to hear REAL musical artists at work, read on. It’s Fat Tuesday time! Here are two chances to get your Mardi Gras on. At The German Club in Pawtucket on Sun, Feb 22 from 3 – 7pm there will be a Mardi Gras Warm-up. Jeffrey Broussard and the Creole Cowboys are bringing some red hot Louisiana heat to the German Club, with free Zydeco Bites dance lessons by Jody Rudnick.

  • Mardi Gras Warm-Up and More,Father Jon Misty Embraces the L
    Album Of The Week: Evans The Death’s Expect Delays While exploring recent releases, you’re bound to find something that impresses you. One that recently impressed me is Expect Delays from London alternative rock act Evans The Death. With its distortion and pulsating rhythms accented by the angelic voice of Katherine Whitaker, this band from across the pond has a sly groove to their sound and possesses a lot of energy. If you’re looking for music from one of those bands that are underground but on their way to bigger and better things, Evans The Death can definitely be your cup of tea. Echoing the timeless post-punk styles of Siouxsie & The Banshees and Blondie, but mirroring contemporary bands like The Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Evans The Death have a sense of coolness with catchy lyrics and poppy instrumentation that’s bound to stick in your head. These Brits are barely out of their teens and their music is way ahead of their time in a world where the current generation is looking for the hippest synth sound. There’s a raw tinge to Evans The Death’s musical stylings — a no-frills approach gives them a genuine and honest vibe. Crazy drivers on the highway, it’s still cold outside and everyone always has something to complain about. Some things in New England never change. Another thing that will never change are my top tracks off of the Album Of The Week. Look on the bright side and check it out: A stunning rocker of a song, “Bad Year” will get you jukin’ and jivin’ in a jiffy with infectious guitar riffs and feverish drumming.
