A sensational sunset here on the coast of Southern Oregon reminded me of the Hawaiian Islands, so we take a musical holiday there with The Kinks, The High Llamas and Helmet!

Velvet Goldmine had the double distinction of being a great rock flick and having a killer Original Soundtrack! We tap into the glam of it all with Pulp singing about Boyz like they were back in 1972! Also featured on the RFW silver screen are Udo Lindenberg, Band Of Horses, A3, Porcupine Tree, Radiohead, Mott The Hoople, NRBQ, Deep Purple, James Brown and Jesu. Sex, drugs and rock 'n; roll are good enough for me!

Call them the pre-fab four if you must, but I have always thought that The Monkees rule! In the TV series final episode Mijacogeo* (a.k.a. The Frodis Caper, directed by Monkee Micky), Mr. Dolenz channeled Grace Slick and recited the overtly anti-war epic Zor And Zam! That and another Monkees highlight end our songfest. Up front you get Mushroom, Spirit, Can, The Kinks, Skip James, Danny Gatton, Motorpsycho, Primal Scream and Leon Russell. Here we come.......
