Pullin’ ‘Tubes: Y’all Know the Doctor?
The imcomparable and unintelligible Dr. John boasts a long list of impressive live collaborations, adding his patented brand of voodoo hoodoo to the likes of Eric Claption, The Band, The Meters and hundreds more. But one duet that escaped mine eyes for far too long has surfaced, and I’m lovin’ it (like mid-2000s McDonald’s): Dr. John and Lou Reed sharing the stage for the latter’s 1972 song Perfect Day. It may be an ode to heroin, a romantic ditty for his love, or just the celebration of nostalgia, but it’s always been one of my favorite tunes, and this one features Mac Rebennack. Let’s do it:
Slade Sohmer
In 2006 Slade Sohmer founded Hidden Track along with current EiC Scott Bernstein. Slade ran the site until 2008, establishing a scope of coverage and level of professionalism that still exists today. In 2010 Sohmer founded HyperVocal with Lee Brenner and the "purveyors of the vital and viral" have gone on to create a network of highly acclaimed sites that includes Headlines That Suck, Weeping Elvis, Distriction and Spike The Water Cooler.
