Springsteen's "The Promise"

Bruce Springsteen and band talk about "The Promise"- 21 unreleased tracks from 1978's "Darkness On The Edge Of Town". "Darkness", of course, was one of the albums that put Bruce on the map before he became a mega star in the 80s.

Check out the vintage footage from the recording sessions. The songs sound fantastic!

"The Promise" double CD is due for release on Nov. 16.

The Boss Is Number Two!

According to Rolling Stone, Bruce Springsteen's "Magic" is the second best album of 2007. RS credits The Boss for being "at his toughest and most focused, going for the grimly detailed style of 'Darkness on the Edge of Town' and 'Nebraska'".

Great to see Bruce at the top of his game again, with The E Street Band in tow as they continue their current tour.

The Boss Is Back!

Check out the new Bruce Springsteen single, "Radio Nowhere". It's the best thing The Boss has done with the E Street band since the early 80s. "Radio Nowhere" has an immediacy and energy that has been missing from recent Springsteen releases.

"Radio Nowhere":


Speaking of the 80s, retro-rockers Ride The Sky have a new album out. For these Swedish rockers, time stopped when the Berlin Wall came down. Their frenetic guitar licks and rising crescendo's are right out of the 80's Metal playbook.

Exhibit A: "A Smile From Heaven's Eye" sounds like a missing track from the "Top Gun" soundtrack. Not that that's a bad thing.

Glory Days?

I happened across Bruce Springsteen's "Glory Days" (1984) video the other day. Haven't seen it in years- funny to look back.

A real undercurrent of laughably unintended (?) homoeroticism going on here. Check out Bruce with his impossibly tight, open collared shirt and Nils Lofgren's French military inspired uniform. Little Steven, adorned in flamboyant gypsy attire, looks like he's on the edge of ecstasy when he and Bruce share the mic. And a way too happy Clarence Clemmons appears to be channeling Grace Jones. Patti Scialfa does her best not to look bored during the whole thing.

The boys from "Queer Eye" couldn't have choreographed it any better.

My vote for Worst Song Of The 80s is still:

"Party All The Time"- Eddie Murphy and Rick James

Basically Rick James ripping off himself by taking "Superfreak" and letting wanna-be singer Eddie Murphy spout lame lyrics over it.

Lyrics that could have been written by a fifth grader during recess.

And the people that would go to clubs during the heyday of great New Wave and request this stupid song used to make me crazy.

Speaking of The 80s, many Duran Duran fans are upset that their New Wave Heroes are collaborating with mega-teen idol, Justin Timberlake for their new album.

Apparently The Spice Girls were unavailable. However, there is speculation that The Girls will officially announce their reunion on June 28. Hope springs eternal.
