I always thought of Sade as a very stylish singer, but not necessarily a great one; kind of weak, actually. A model who could sing a bit. I was wrong. Watch these concert videos.





Here's a band that deserves a lot more attention:

David Letterman positively gushed over this band.
He's usually pretty snarky with the musical guest.
Too bad that video was taken down.

Can someone please explain this to me?
It's like a travel ad gone terribly wrong


Since I started on a Prog bender, I think I would be remiss if I left out Australian Progsters Angus and Malcom Young. True Monsters of Prog. Enjoy.

Well, I ordered up one of these headless bridges for about $60 shipped, and after three weeks, here it is:

As you can see, I disassembled one of the gear mechanisms. The one-piece gear and spool appear to be solid brass, held in the bracket with a c-clip. The gears actually work surprisingly well, smooth, with just a little slop that would disappear under string tension. Everything is also lubricated, which I did not expect from China. I am surprised, the quality of materials and design of this unit is much better than I expected. You can see how the knobs pull out on the shafts for easier adjustment.
