Electric Purgatory

This is a great new documentary on "the fate of the black rocker", and the film starts with a Saturday Night Live performance from back in the day by my boys, Fishbone. Very cool film you can watch it in its entirety right here....right now.... or whenever you have an hour to take it all in.... It's a good one!



Enjoy!

The Dualers

This album came out in 2006, and I just heard it this week for the first time, thanks to an awesome blog called Life In Monochrome (who in turn got it from a blog called Musica & Cerveja). Awesome album! Great songs! Thanks!

The Dualers are from South London, England, and this is their 3rd album.

Check out this great song and video to get the vibe of these guys...
