Love Junkie

Retroblog ( a personal favourite blog find of 2007) has an interesting interview with Moe Berg, talking about life after The Pursuit of Happiness, life in general, and of course working with Todd. "In terms of a Todd mix tape, I wouldn’t even know what to pick. “Drunken Blue Rooster” would be the first song and “Fade Away” would be the last. In between, it would depend on the day".

What would you put in between? what 10 tracks would fit in between these 2?

Still with Todd, he gets a mention in this interview with Dominique Leone in the san fransisco bay guardian's blog, and in Compuerworld's famous geek list

If you're just talking about favorite Todd cuts I guess I'd go with:
Fair Warning
I Saw the Light
Real Man
Just One Victory
The Want of a Nail
Marlene
We Gotta Get You a Woman
The Ballad (Denny & Jean)
The Want of a Nail
Hawking

I really love the first two TPOH albums. I hated to see them break up.

I think Like Moe, mine would change depending on what day you asked me: Today it would be:

Determination
Couldn't I Just Tell You
Drive
Pretending to Care
Hope I'm Around
Sometimes I Don't Know What to Feel
It Wouldn't Have Made Any Difference
Just One Victory
The Night the Carousel Burned Down
Woman's World

Todd Rundgren @ The Forum 23/11/2008

I think this was Todd's first appearance at the Forum since he recorded a live album there back in 1994 on the No World Order tour. He was all alone for that one. Tonight, things could not have been more different as Todd brought the Arena tour to London. What can I say. It rocked. Playing the same set that he has been doing for the whole tour - opening with Love in Action, Open my Eyes, Black Maria, I Saw the Light etc, before playing Arena in its entirety - this was guitar rock heaven (and let's face it, probably the last time you'll see Todd doing this kind of tour in the UK). The band were tight, the backing vocals near perfection, and a few ropey moments aside, Todd's vocals strong and good. It was a real joy to see him playing so much lead guitar, after recent years of being more of the 'singer in the band'. There were a few technically issues near the start, when Todd couldn't get the clean guitar sound he wanted, and one amusing moment when he manag...

The Decemberists - 'The Hazards of Love'

Whilst the Decemberists have been around for a number of years, and a friend of mine is a big fan, I have to confess - a few tunes aside - they have never really made much of a splash with me.

On some levels - like most concept albums - it is utter tosh, but with its repeating musical motifs and reprises, making you quickly think that actually there are only about five actual songs on the album - a clever trick. Like with all good concept albums this makes listening on shuffle not the ideal way to digest this album - especially as their are short 'interlude' pieces joining all the songs too. Added to all this the fact that the band seem to have a love for early 70's British folk/prog/heavy metal and this walks right up my street - and will ...
