For some reason “Walk on the Ocean” has been stuck in my head; and let’s also mention that Toad The Wet Sprocket will be playing at this year’s Rock Boat.
The band formed in Santa Barbara in 1986.
They got their name from Eric Idle’e monologue on “Rock Notes” from Monty Python’s album Contractual Obligations.

What a cool little ditty from Weezer’s 1994 self-titled debut, even though it’s kind of depressing.
Apparently, this song was written by Rivers Cuomo and drummer Pat Wilson in late 1991/early 1992, before Weezer even existed. It also hasn’t been performed live by the band since 1997, which is a shame, because it’s a great tune.
Check […]

Of course, more than a decade later it may seem a bit hard to remember why this was a classic performance; so let’s run down some reasons why.
Let’s begin with the hype leading up to […]
Radiohead frontman, Thom Yorke, told BBC 6 Music that he didn’t buy In Rainbows.
Yorke went on to say that “There wasn’t any point,” and “I just move some money from one pocket to the other.” Guitarist Ed O’Brien added that the band was so secretive about the release of In Rainbows that he didn’t even tell his […]
