Musicians are Robbed
How RIAA accounting makes sure even top talent can’t make much money from record sales. It’s a rigged game if there ever was one.

Edward Hil Reviews Parodies
The Lololol song has become an internet sensation, and Eduard Hil was filmed recently reacting to some of the parodies. More on Hil.
The Wheels of Life
One of my favorite songs from the excellent Brother to Brother album by Canadian singer Gino Vannelli. A much under-appreciated talent who is very original. I remember when that record came out, it got a lot of play. He’s since turned to jazz, which is not surprising as he is not really a pop artist. [...]
Wandrin’ Star
One of my favorite songs, even though Lee Marvin isn’t much of a singer. It was a hit song in the late 1960s. My uncle took me to see this movie when I was a kid. It’s from Paint Your Wagon.
School
I’m not a huge fan of their later work, but this Supertramp album is excellent. Especially this one and “Bloody Well Right”, which follows it. This song got a lot of play on my stereo when I was in the Air Force. (Yes, long ago in the misty past)
