I heard Blue Oyster Cult's "(Don't Fear) The Reaper" the other day while watching a show on the Discovery Channel called History Rocks. Today, I have a impressive rendition done by Brothers Past in 2001.

Lebron is King

Last night was probably the best NBA game I've watched all season long. Granted, I get to watch the Milwaukee Bucks most of the time. I've doubted Lebron most of his career and of course always thinking that Dwayne Wade is better, but last night changed everything. Lebron's performance of 48 points, including 25 of those points being the last points scored in the game. Last night was unbelievable and with that I think King James has found his crown once he knocks out the Pistons tomorrow night.

Groove of the Week - Chinese Fingertrap

This week's "Groove of the Week" is a unique quartet hailing from Milwaukee, WI. My first chance to see them was few months ago when the Cosmic Break tour rolled through Milwaukee. I was actually there to see Stealin' Strings but Chinese Fingertrap was the next best thing I heard that night. With influences such as Martin, Medeski, and Wood, the Flectones, and Phish this band has a wide variety of styles. The tracks below are from a February 23, 2007 show from Stones Throw in Eau Claire, WI.
