The Blue Van are one of the better retro-garage bands I've heard over the last five years. The new Dear Independence is filled with references to The Byrds, the Kinks and the Nuggets collections. This song gets a lot of little details right, like the organ intro, the tamborine and the primitive riffing. I have the Danish band near the top of my "must see" list for 2007.

Few music videos are worth nine minutes of your time. I'll make an exception for Leslie Hall. This footage of an in-store at Amoeba Records is something else. I'd describe it for you, but I don't think you'd believe me.

Even though I realize that it's just a marketing gimmick, I'm excited that Stax Records is in business once again.

We need more marketing gimmicks, dag gummit. I sure hope they have the good sense to use the blue label logo for their first release. And they better get on the phone with Jones, Cropper & Dunn too.
Carl Jefferson is smiling from above.
