MICHAEL DES BARRES: Link to Video de Jour

I often post links to stories about various Gonzofolk, but on the whole these tend to be 'professional' links; to reviews and interviews that have been conducted by websites that are known for doing such things. It is nice, therefore, to find the blog of just an ordinary person who just happens to like Michael Des Barres. (This is actually our second visit to the Video De Jour blog. The first can be found HERE.

Carnaby Street, the new album by the Michael Des Barres Band, came out a few months ago and it’s still in heavy rotation on my back porch. This is old-school rock and roll, the kind we used to love back when we went to high school football games and senior class dances.

Michael Des Barres is a true rock and roll character, and a welcome guest at many SXSW festivals in Austin. This is “Hot and Sticky,” which he says was inspired by some warm nights in Texas – here, it’s played at the Viper Room on the Sunset Strip.

...BECAUSE SOME OF US THINK THAT THIS STUFF IS IMPORTANT
What happens when you mix what is - arguably - the world's most interesting record company, with an anarchist manic-depressive rock music historian polymath, and a method of dissemination which means that a daily rock-music magazine can be almost instantaneous?

Most of this blog is related in some way to the music, books and films produced by Gonzo Multimedia, but the editor has a grasshopper mind and so also writes about all sorts of cultural issues which interest him, and which he hopes will interest you as well.
