Buy the album. Just buy it. Chrissie Hynde is so cool. She makes my arm hair tingle. Stockholm sounds like Chrissie, and the production is tip-top. All of her albums sound so clear and to the point, and this one falls into place with the rest. Chrissie also gives the best advice: Don’t think that sticking your boobs out and trying to look fuckable will help. Remember you’re in a rock and roll band. It’s not “fuck me,” it’s “fuck you”! Here’s a YouTuber of her single “Dark Sunglasses” playing with the Roots on the Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o4lLUcUKwFE See you on the low end! Love, Mags...

We had a rock’n roll weekend rehearsal o’fun in Talia’s basement in Clifton Park. It was a big one. We rocked for more than 10 hours in two days and we’re very close to being show ready. Speaking of shows….there will be a Talia Denis show announcement in the near future for all you Upstaters, and adventurous travelers! Here’s the band hanging out by a tree because three out of four of us are nature starved! See you on the low end! Love,...

Yup – that’s right. I saw Crosby Stills and Nash at the Beacon this week. What a time. I had one of those “New York City” moments. You know that feeling, when everything just seems all right in the world; you’re happy, in the moment, and just thankful that you live in New York City…and walking to the venue is the best. They started at 8:05pm, and didn’t stop until 10:58pm. I was expecting an acoustic performance, but they had a full band; bass, drums, keys, Hammond B3, and another guitar player. They played most of their hits, Cathedral, Southern Cross, Guinevere, Teach Your Children, Deja Vu, Our House, Love The One You’re With, Marrakesh Express, Long Time Gone, and my favorite – Just a Song Before I Go, to name a few. No Wooden Ships, no Ohio, no Suite Judy Blue Eyes….but a good bunch of new original tunes that I liked very much. I have to say, I walked into the Beacon super siked for some Davey Crosby. I mean, he writes the really weird tunes, and is the personality of the band. Then there’s Graham Nash and those high harmonies that were enough to melt my heart (especially in Just a Song…), but man – I walked out of the theater ready to have a love child with Stephen Stills. HE. IS. THE. MAN. Holy smokes, what a guitar player. The glue of the band. He has so much depth to his playing and to his songwriting and to his being! I was brought to tears on Tree Top Flying. It was just Stephen and an acoustic guitar, and him just doing his...
