Return to Residency, Wired Magazine, 999, Tedy Bruschi, etc …

I’ll be returning to regular action at the Universal Bar & Grill tomorrow nite, (Tues, Oct 25th). I’d like to thank Steven Wilson for filling in for me the last 2 Tuesdays while I was away working in Gotham.

Tues, Oct 25
Universal Bar & Grill – 8:30PM (my set)
4093 Lankershim Blvd (at Cahuenga)
N. Hollywood, CA. 91602

LISTENING TO:

*50 Cent: Outta Control (remix)
Those lonely, resigned piano chords, those climbing strings, so hypnotizing. Addicted to this wistful & haunting downtempo club track.

*The Vines: Highly Evolved
94 seconds of flawlessly lean rock and roll.

*Keith Richards: 999
From his 2nd solo record, Main Offender, which I almost wore out when it came out in ‘92. (btw: 999 is what you dial in the UK in an emergency). Had the good fortune to meet Tim Hatfield while I was just in NYC, who engineered on this record. A real treat to get the inside scoop on the making of this album while hanging out in Tim’s studio, Cowboy Technical Services.

The folks from the ad agency have now sent me a copy of the ad. It’s pretty cool. I’ll try and find a place to put it so you can stream it if you want.

“Thank you, Lisbon!”

Also, I get a mention in a related story in Wired Magazine’s online edition here:

WELCOMING BACK:
*Tedy Bruschi, New England Patriots

As I wrote about in this very space a few months back, Tedy was out for the season because of a mild stroke he suffered days after winning the Superbowl. Well, thanks to a speedier recovery than anyone expected, he was cleared fully by his doctors to return to the practice field, which he did this past Wednesday. Tedy is special player. They don’t have stats for guys like him, who have a knack for making momentum changing plays at key times in big games. Welcome back, Tedy!

+ + + + + + + + +

SPOTTED IN FIRST CLASS:
James Lipton. That’s right. The adulatory host of “Inside the Actors Studio” on the JFK to LAX flight. Wanted to tell him my favorite curse word.

+ + + + + + + + +

ROOTING FOR:
The Astros. Hopefully they can turn this thing around in Minute Maid Park with the able arm of Roy Oswalt.

+ + + + + + + + +

XM RADIO

LISTENING TO:

*The Redwalls: Universal Blues
Rock and roll, my friends.

*Kylie Minogue: Can’t Get You Out Of My Head
C’mon, it’s very catchy. I liked it when it came out, I’m not ashamed to say. Just got it on iTunes. That weird minimalistic/futuristic video, those gracefully descending bridge chords, the wordless chorus, c’mon, sing it with me…

*Miscellaneous Mexican Pop from the late 50s & early 60s
While I was in Cozumel, the poolside bar always had this vintage Mexican pop playing. Nice, simple production. Every song had same instrumentation: vocals, acoustic bass, acoustic guitar. Stripped-down, but cool.

WILL BE MISSING:
*Rodney Harrison, New England Patriots

Another injury to the already decimated New England defensive secondary, Harrison will miss the season w/ACL injuries. Harrison was a team captain, a true gamer & a treat to watch. How will the Pats recover? No one knows for sure, but they did manage to do in the Steelers at Heinz Field, *after* losing Harrison & Matt Light in the first quarter. Perhaps that’s how they’ll do it. PATS!
