Tonight we have two great albums by MILES DAVIS in our Fifties Series. First there is this great set of arrangements on Gershwin's PORGY & BESS and then from the same year his best album ever (we think) KIND OF BLUE. Absolutely recommended, even if you're not into jazz: you got to listen to it even if it's only once in your lifetime.

Rockcast Wednesday.08.27.08
So I figured with the little free time I had this
morning I would get the school supplies my kids need.
This is the "in addition to" list. Already their large back
packs are chucked full of everything imaginable. From
erasures to glue sticks, markers, pencils...etcetra. This
stuff was from teachers whose classes had special needs.
Like one class had each kid bring 4 boxes of Kleenex. Man
that's some snotty kids. My son has to have latex free gloves
for biology class. In my day we didn't have gloves. but we
did have lunch right after that class. Mmmmm. Formaldehyde
burgers...The rock is on as usual.

Feds cuff blogger for Guns N' Roses leak
Chinese Democracy, American Extremism
The FBI has arrested a 27-year-old American blogger for leaking some unreleased Guns N' Roses tunes to the internet.

According to The Associated Press and Los Angeles Times, the Feds cuffed Culver City, California's Kevin Cogill on Wednesday morning, two months after his web site Antiquiet served up nine tunes from "Chinese Democracy" - an album Axl Rose and various other people have been dawdling over for more than a decade.
In an arrest affidavit, Cogill admitted to streaming the tunes, and the Feds have accused him of violating US copyright law.

Yes, the tunes have since been removed from Cogill's site. But plenty of people have already done their listening/copying. The affidavit also says that Antiquiet received so much traffic when the songs were posted, it eventually crashed.

Clearly, an online "Chinese Democracy" leak poses a serious threat to Guns N' Roses and its label, Geffen Records. If web surfers actually hear the unreleased album, the mix n' match band can no longer maintain the illusion that it isn't complete shite. ®

Replacements drummer Steve Foley dies
NEW YORK (Billboard) - Steve Foley, who played drums with the Replacements at the tail end of the alternative rock band's career, died during the weekend of August 23 in Minneapolis. He was 49. According to local media reports, Foley died after accidentally overdosing on prescription medication.

The 1990 selection of Foley, who played in such Minneapolis bands as Curtiss A, Wheelo and Snaps, as the substitute for original Replacements drummer Chris Mars has become the stuff of legend.

According to Jim Walsh's oral history "All Over But the Shouting," frontman Paul Westerberg and bassist Tommy Stinson bumped into Foley at a local bar and procured a ride from him to an audition. In the car was a copy of the brand new Replacements album "All Shook Down," prompting Westerberg and Stinson to look at each other and then exclaim to Foley, "You're already in."

Foley toured with the band until its final show on July 4, 1991, in Chicago's Grant Park. Afterward, he and his brother Kevin joined Stinson's band Bash & Pop. Of late, he was working as a car salesman in Minneapolis.

According to the Minneapolis Star Tribune, visitation will be held 11 a.m. Friday (August 29) at Washburn-McReavy Funeral Chapel in Edina, Minnesota, with burial to follow at Lakewood Cemetery.
