William Beckett from The Academy Is... Gives DD the Thumbs Up!
Just kidding! I didn't realize cameras were rolling when William Beckett walked by me backstage after The Academy Is... finished their set at Warped Tour Charlotte. I saw him go under a nearby tarp and talk to some guy with a camera. Now I know what those cue cards were for. He was promoting the new song "About a Girl" by The Academy Is... (scroll down for more info) and his new blog: The William Beckett Blog - thewilliambeckettblog.com

I talked to him right after the camera stopped. I should have asked what he was filming. Oh well. I do have the interview I did later with him and Adam Siska that will be posted here soon.
 Lucy Hell recently interviewed East Bay Ray, punk-surf-guitar legend from the Dead Kennedys for the pop culture pub Mystery Island Magazine. We have the text of Lucy's interview with East Bay Ray along with links to more at Mystery Island here >>
Now is also a good time to revisit Lucy's interview from last year with The Dickies' Stan Lee. The Dickies are part of the lineup on the Old School Stage at Warped Tour this summer.
Brand New Single "About a Girl" by The Academy Is...
While I was interviewing William Beckett and Adam Siska from The Academy Is... at Warped Tour in Charlotte today (well, technically yesterday), they told me the first single from their new album would be released at midnight on iTunes. It's called "About a Girl." The new album titled Fast Times at Barrington High will be released August 19.
TAI's show on Main Stage Left rocked today. Can't wait to hear the rest of the album.
Details and audio from my chat with TAI coming soon. Meanwhile, you can go download the new song, "About a Girl" by The Academy Is... at iTunes now!

From the Ashes of Harp Magazine Comes Blurt
 Sadly, we recently lost a great music magazine - Harp. Looks like the spirit of Harp continues as on exclusively online magazine called Blurt. Our buddy Fred Mills (see "The Cosmopolitans - Big Story") is at the helm as he was at Harp.
Check out Blurt digi-magazine at www.blurt-online.com.
This is U2 week on Deaconlight at ErrorFM.com to celebrate the release of the remastered version of U2's War album next month. We will be playing lots of U2 with the spotlight on their early work.

Making Up for the Scratchy Joe Cocker Vinyl
Yesterday's Deaconlight at ErrorFM.com was all vinyl because I was having some technical issue with my digital stuff. I ended up having to bail out of Joe Cocker's "A Little Help from My Friends" off of the original Woodstock album because it skipped so bad.
By lattice of co-incidence, my friend Timmy sent me a video of that performance with "sub-titles." Check it out!
At last, the official release of Mohanski's debut CD Hotdog Chihuahua is here. Lucky Londoners can check it out this weekend.
More info about Mohanski is here at deaconlight.com/mohanski and their Web site mohanski.com >>
