About Me |
|
| Help, I'm a musician trapped in the body of a middle-aged community newspaper editor. You can help this sad situation by listening to my songs and lavishing me with praise (but only if you mean it). The recordings here are mostly B&B jobs (basement and bathroom) done on a four-track cassette recorder, with an occasional live recording thrown in. In case you're interested in a long-form version of my musical biography, just CLICK HERE and you'll be whisked away on a whirlwind tour. | |

Music:Member Since: 4/18/2008Band Website: myspace.com/troubadog Band Members: Just me, Randy Erickson. Formerly of the Troubadogs, Last Ditch Effort, the Proof, Stagefright and Mercury Joe and the Montclairs Influences: Some of my favorite artists include Chuck Berry, Buddy Holly, Beatles, Bob Dylan, Neil Young, The Band, The Who, Bruce Springsteen, Jayhawks, Tom Petty, Richard Thompson, Tom Verlaine (and Television), Wilco, Son Volt, Ryan Adams, XTC, Replacements, Elvis Costello, the Foo Fighters, Coldplay, U2, R.E.M., My Morning Jacket, the Decemberists and the Len Price 3 (check these guys out). Sounds Like: The only singer I really sound like is Duane Jarvis, and the resemblance is uncanny. One time we were watching "The Rookie" in a movie theater and one of his songs came on ("There is a Light"). My family thought it was me singing. Too bad I didn't sound like somebody a little more well known, like maybe Michael Stipe, but I sure like Duane Jarvis ! .. Record Label: Unsigned Type of Label: None |

49 minutes with Paul Westerberg |
|
| Paul Westerberg's new release is either a bold challenge to the iPod nation, a very creative way to package some new music, an attempt to evoke a music experience other than listing to a CD or a... Posted by Randy Erickson on Thu, 31 Jul 2008 06:25:00 PST |

Confessions of a reformed speed demon |

| Maybe it was because my first driving experience came at the wheel of a quarter midget, a pint-sized race car, whizzing around a banked oval track and trying to get to the checkered flag first. Or may... Posted by Randy Erickson on Tue, 24 Jun 2008 02:01:00 PST |
