PLUS!! Here are three more I've added, just in time for Christmas:

“New Order: Live In Glasgow.” 2 DVD set. $19.99. Rhino.
In 1980, New Order rose from the ashes of Joy Division — one of the most important British bands of all time. In 2006, on tour for the band’s 2005 album, “Waiting For The Sirens’ Call,” the synth-pop band made a rare two-night stand at Glasgow’s Carling Academy. Captured here are tunes from the act’s rich canon, including “Blue Monday,” “Temptation,” “Bizarre Love Triangle,” “Love Will Tear Us Apart,” “Transmission” and more. This set also includes a bonus disc of unreleased footage from the band’s personal archives and classic live performances from 1981 to 2006.

“The Secret Policeman’s Balls.” 3 DVDs. $34.98. Shout! Factory
This legendary series of benefit shows started in 1976 to raise funds for Amnesty International. This set features the five biggest and best balls, featuring the Monty Python crew, Rowan Atkinson (Mr. Bean), Jennifer Saunders (Absolutely Fabulous) and Hugh Laurie (House M.D.), as well as historic “unplugged” performances by Pete Townshend, Sting, Phil Collins, Bob Geldof, Peter Gabriel, Donovan, Jackson Browne, Lou Reed, Kate Bush and Joan Armatrading, Eric Clapton with Jeff Beck and Mark Knopfler with Chet Atkins.

“Kurt Cobain: About A Son,” by Kurt Cobain. DVD. $16.99. Shout! Factory.
This is a moving meditation of the late Nirvana frontman, told in his own voice. The documentary shows a rare personal portrait of a boy-turned husband, rock star, father and songwriter who’s music touched millions. Said the Washington Post: “It makes you feel like you are Kurt Cobain. You’ll feel like you’re literally seeing the world through his eyes.”

Barrelhouse Beat

Barrelhouse: A colloquialism describing the low saloons at the turn of the century (19th) that served whiskey straight out of the barrel. It's also a reference to the type of music played in those venues. Ex: Barrelhouse music.

Beat: The time or timing. Ex: The band played with a solid beat. Also used as a term describing a reporters specific area of expertise. Ex: The music beat.

About me: I'm Okie born and raised, and have lived all over the state: Oklahoma City, Enid, Moore, Norman, Edmond and Tulsa. I am a music geek, writer, graphic designer and amateur photographer and videographer who's followed the Tulsa and regional music scene since I moved to Green Country more than 10 years ago. I've been enmeshed in Tulsa's varied and vibrant musical night life, what some of us affectionately call a modernized throwback to the Barrelhouse scene, since that time. I fell in love with it. I fell hard.
