Having just interviewed The Futureheads front man Barry Hyde, it was a pleasure to run across this clip of him performing the "Radio Heart" off the group's new LP, This Is Not For The World, due May 27 on their own label, Nul Records. 

Hyde was a great interview, being completely energized in releasing his own material after getting dropped by Warner Bros.  This energy is reflected in the new album, which I cannot stop listening to.  His performance in the clip below, and his demeanor during the interview, reminded me of Joe Strummer and another popular UK punk based act, whom, by the way. . . WMNF is honoring them this May 31 at Skipper's Smokehouse.  Check out that show.  It looks to be a great local Tampa Bay lineup.

I hope you enjoy this Black Cab Sessions clip and keep a look out for issue #25 with my interview with Barry.

Of course there is a Japanese 8 year old phenom guitar player.  Isn't there always one in life?

Although, Yuko does need a little help on his Ozzie Osborne impression.

Say what you want about John Mayer, that his blue eyed blues albums are for the tween mall set or, even worse, something your aunt Edna would discover while ordering a triple caramel machiatto at $tarbucks.  But, the dude is funny and is never to big to love at himself.

Case in point, he pairs up with the Judd Apatow/Will Ferrell site Funny or Die, and the writing staff hit a home run in describing a typical day for Mayer.  Who, incidentally, is fucking Jennifer Anniston. 

From the blog title, you can probably tell my favorite bit is Mayer's proxy drug addict.
