Our buddy and resident blog supporter ASH, has launched a new place to meet.
"ASH On The Beat," as he put it, is trying to be "Northern England's version" of Burning Wood. A bit of advice, if you want traffic, keep your Todd Rundgren and New Orleans posts to a minimum and be sure to slag on Eric Clapton and Radiohead as often as you can. That really wads up the collective tighties and is sure to bring on the hits to both the blog and your head.
Please check out The ASH Beat.
I love it already.
And in honor of my pal Don across the ocean, here is "The Weekend Mix."
From one of my all-time faves, here is one of my all-time fave shows.
Ian Hunter, recorded live on March 23, 2005, at Finnegan's Wake in Philadelphia, 7 years ago today.
It's a show that captures the atmosphere of a small, stifling, packed house...perfectly. As for the setlist, well, I couldn't have said it better myself.
Enjoy, please!

OMFG!!!!! Been waiting for something like this!! And a new music blog and it has more Mott plus lots of yet to explore stuff...It is a happy Friday indeed...
Ian Hunter is an inspiration. Mott's Rest In Peace is the greatest live bootleg ever.
"Rock n' Roll Queen" is the reason the cowbell was invented.
These are immutable laws, not topics for debate.
Thanks for the Ian show, Sal!
Great music for the weekend.Ian's recent stuff is strong like bull!
