The Piano Thief
PR REPORTS: Greg Laswell's song "What A Day" will be featured in the smash hit GREY'S ANATOMY this Thursday, April 24th for an episode entitled Where The Wild Things Are. "What A Day" is one of the tracks from his recent Vanguard Records EP entitled How The Day Sounds. His next full length album, Three Flights From Alto Nido, is set to be released on July 8th. With his elegantly expressive piano technique, feathery acoustic guitar work and hypnotic-like vocals, Greg has drawn comparisons to such reputable songsmiths as Jeff Buckley, Coldplay, Ron Sexsmith and Radiohead. His intense lyrics and sweeping melodies amplify to create an eloquent sound that matches his hypnotic and haunting tenor. Laswell's music has also been prominent on TV shows such as Shark, Without A Trace, Smallville, One Tree Hill, and MTV's The Hills. Having just wrapped up the national portion of the Hotel Cafe Tour with such artists as Sara Bareilles, Ingrid Michaelson, Cary Brothers and others, Greg is currently performing overseas with the tour. In June, he kicks off a two month tour supporting Ingrid, who is featured in her "The Way I Am" video.

Sound Guys Sound Off, Concerts Make You Deaf, and Car Horn Fans

Heh heh, you may be technically correct about Lestat's locale. However, to my mind, anything within a couple minutes walking-distance from the Ken Cinema ("In the heart of downtown Kensington") is still Kensington --

Dmonstrably Neglected
I miss the "Blurt columns from previous weeks" button! It's hard to find older Blurts with the new search bar, because you can't narrow down the search to just the music section any more. Cover stories still have a "previous weeks" page - any way to add same to the Blurt page?

Let Sharon Osbourne take over Street Scene. If she can make OzzFest such a huge success, she must have the magic touch - or at least the magic middle finger ----

Rappers Delight Police
Heh heh, a bunch of local gangsters got busted for stuff they'd posted on their MySpace page, including video of some of the knuckleheads riding in a stolen car. Darwin in action, the herd culls itself ---

I think it shows HIM as he really is - but everything he and his family says or does seems scripted. It's like watching him thru funhouse mirrors, ie reflecting reality all right, but with some slight warping, for entertainment purposes ----

STP Reunion, Online Communions, Occult Minions, and some local garage rock history you should know
$300? For that kind of $$$, the band would have to cook me dinner and maybe fix my transmission for me.

Backstage Rider Collection: 50 Rock Star Contracts, plus Virtual Balboa
That's an actual Balboa Park toilet flushing! Lookitup on YouTube - dunno why, but people like filming loud toilets.

The Piano Thief
PR REPORTS: Greg Laswell's song "What A Day" will be featured in the smash hit GREY'S ANATOMY this Thursday, April 24th for an episode entitled Where The Wild Things Are. "What A Day" is one of the tracks from his recent Vanguard Records EP entitled How The Day Sounds. His next full length album, Three Flights From Alto Nido, is set to be released on July 8th. With his elegantly expressive piano technique, feathery acoustic guitar work and hypnotic-like vocals, Greg has drawn comparisons to such reputable songsmiths as Jeff Buckley, Coldplay, Ron Sexsmith and Radiohead. His intense lyrics and sweeping melodies amplify to create an eloquent sound that matches his hypnotic and haunting tenor. Laswell's music has also been prominent on TV shows such as Shark, Without A Trace, Smallville, One Tree Hill, and MTV's The Hills. Having just wrapped up the national portion of the Hotel Cafe Tour with such artists as Sara Bareilles, Ingrid Michaelson, Cary Brothers and others, Greg is currently performing overseas with the tour. In June, he kicks off a two month tour supporting Ingrid, who is featured in her "The Way I Am" video.— April 23, 2008 2:15 p.m.

Heh heh, you may be technically correct about Lestat's locale. However, to my mind, anything within a couple minutes walking-distance from the Ken Cinema ("In the heart of downtown Kensington") is still Kensington --— January 30, 2008 1:08 p.m.

I miss the "Blurt columns from previous weeks" button! It's hard to find older Blurts with the new search bar, because you can't narrow down the search to just the music section any more. Cover stories still have a "previous weeks" page - any way to add same to the Blurt page?— January 27, 2008 7:53 p.m.

Let Sharon Osbourne take over Street Scene. If she can make OzzFest such a huge success, she must have the magic touch - or at least the magic middle finger ----— January 27, 2008 6:44 a.m.
Rappers Delight Police
Heh heh, a bunch of local gangsters got busted for stuff they'd posted on their MySpace page, including video of some of the knuckleheads riding in a stolen car. Darwin in action, the herd culls itself ---— January 26, 2008 9:44 p.m.

I think it shows HIM as he really is - but everything he and his family says or does seems scripted. It's like watching him thru funhouse mirrors, ie reflecting reality all right, but with some slight warping, for entertainment purposes ----— January 26, 2008 3:01 p.m.
STP Reunion, Online Communions, Occult Minions, and some local garage rock history you should know
$300? For that kind of $$$, the band would have to cook me dinner and maybe fix my transmission for me.— January 26, 2008 2:53 p.m.
