Woodstock week : Joplin - Try
Time for a little flashback, kind friends. I thought y’all were ready to get back to basics and dig down deep into your inner hippie.

Somehow Tom Jones and Joplin together just gives me the willies but the backup dancers are worth the video. Besides, I think Tom is going to break a hip trying to keep up with her…

This is the gift that just keeps on giving. I’ve done a danceoff between Joplin and the Dead with mixed results but now I have Kristofferson muscling in on our girl’s funked-up Bobby territory (yes, I know he wrote it but can you imagine anyone else singing it?)! I promise to keep you […]
I’ve been mellow for waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too long. Where’s our girl Janis? Rockin’ out in Germany in this clip, naturally. I am diggin’ the cat doing the twist on stage. ;)

We’re all familiar with the soul-wrenching, slap-your-mother Joplin version of Me and Bobby McGee but how many of you have seen the Dead take a crack at it? It’s Danceoff Day at Hippie Sounds, tell me which you like more: the smooth Joplin or the funkalicious Grateful Dead?

I am always on the lookout for great talent to show off to y’all and I’m wrapping this week up with Jen Porter. Compared to Stevie Nicks and Janis Joplin, I find shades of Sarah McLachlan wrapped within her voice as well in the track “Pictures of You” found on her MySpace page. […]
I’m not much for Idol lately, the novelty wore off years ago after the flat-out robbing of Chris Daughtry as winner (what the HECK were they thinking?). But my girls are looking for the next Sanjaya to make fun of during 3rd period math class so I was subjected to Idol’s mesmerizing (read: train […]
Y’all know I love our girl, Janis, which is why I’m half-dreading the biopics fighting over her life. Part of me wants to see The Gospel According to Janis due out in 2010, starring Zooey Deschanel and the other more rational part tells me to stay far far away. Why muck up her […]
Not all resolutions are hastily written on cocktail napkins or on the hem of skirts at the stroke of midnight on New Year’s Eve (wha? Don’t tell me you never did). I’ve discovered the lost resolutions of some of our favorite hippie gods and since most of them have already started truckin’ down a one-way […]
It’s a gray, drippy day in Virginia. The kind of day that needs a little Janis to drag you down even more and really feel blue. Hit it, woooooman-
