Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with EDWYN COLLINS!

'A Girl Like You' is not a good song, it is a great song. Probably you should find your headphones because this particular one sounds even better with them on. Like a good friend once said, "There is no substitute for good headphones."

Hey Edwyn, Johnny used to have a shirt like that, then his dad got a job!

Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with THE SMITHEREENS!

So sad to hear of the passing of The Smithereens front man Pat DiNizio earlier this week. Such a full catalog of great rock and roll music. All in all that's all you can ask of a band, right? Rock well, make great tunes and be original. Check, check and check.

The Smithereens with 'A Girl Like You' sending you rocking into this good Friday night.

Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with EDWYN COLLINS!

Now this is some sassy riffin'. We don't get a chance to feature many Scottish acts here at the Jersey City Desk but Mr. Collins is a right sharp one. After a cerebral hemorrhage in 2005, Edwyn is still on the road to recovery and we wish him nothing but he best. He's a long time singer/songwriter with such cool indie acts as Nu-Sonics and Orange Juice.

Tonight though it's Edwyn Collins solo with 'A Girl Like You'
