December 21, 2014 - David Feldman Show, The News From Around The World

Music legend Frank Zappa would have been 74 years old today. To celebrate the date we’re taking a look at some of the more overlooked (and gleefully weird) albums of his lengthy career. Most people are familiar with the genius of Freak Out!, Hot Rats, and Joe’s Garage, but have probably neglected to travel past. So to rectify that, here are some fascinating Zappa albums that haven’t gotten the same love over the years, but are worth your time nonetheless.

Guy Pearce: Rock Star?

December 18, 2014 - David Feldman Show, The News From Around The World

Guy Pearce, best known for his roles in movies like Memento, The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert and The Time Machine has another talent up his sleeve besides acting. He’s also a musician. Now, before you write him off as another actor who wants to be a rock star but sucks at it, you should put your reservations aside and check out his brilliantly conceived video for the song ‘Fly All The Way‘. It’s a tasty slab of glam pop goodness in the vein of The Ark or Silverchair. Guy’s debut album ‘Broken Bones‘ is available now for purchase, and it’s super great.

Rock on, Mr. Pearce. Rock on.
