Why Rock Town Hall Must Chug Along!

Mar 312014

Before or after reading this brief post, please click on this link to watch The National perform live on The Tonight Show. Thank you.

The core seven.

There are times when even I have trouble mustering the energy to keep the Halls of Rock open for business. Our online culture and community have changed. Our daily crew of hearty participants has thinned out. I’ve got a half dozen other projects that have been keeping me busy. Sometimes I get sick of complaining, or what seems like complaining as I rail against the injustices in rock critical thinking. Then I see something like The National perform live on The Tonight Show. Then I regain the strength I need to do my part to keep Rock Town Hall chugging along. Here’s what I’m talking about…

A young band old guys like us could like

Kinda taken by these guys and their Animals/Mod/Yardbirds vibe. This clip is pretty sweet so I picked up (downloaded) their album which is a real joy from beginning to end. Their take on Nick Lowe’s “Heart of the City” endeared me instantly. I think they’re 18, too. This could be the first band AndyR might actually buy!

In honor of cliffsofinsanity’s recent inclusion of “Indiana Wants Me” in this week’s Saturday Night Shut In, I thought that we couldn’t be regionalist, and that it would be important to consider all of our wonderful (some more wonderful than others) 50 states. Please include a song title that includes a state’s name. Once a state is mentioned, it’s out of the running.

This is a Last Man Standing with no more than 50 entries.

I’ll start out with Propellerheads’ “Take California.”
