OK I have a cool basement, I got stacks, I got mixing boards yeah totally do.. but I don’t have Patrick Stumpf ex Fall Out Boy swinging by to sing “What Becomes of The Broken Hearted” or Smokey Robinson singing “Sara Smile”, but guess who does?
Daryl freaking Hall. Mr. “You Make My Dreams Come True” of Hall and Oates fame has a great Internet based webcast called “Live From Daryl’s House.
Amazing guests all just coming over to chill and play songs. Its almost a Storytellers vibe only without the audience and the commercialism of MTV. What a great find.
So who else has crossed his welcome mat?
The Doors’ Robby Krieger and Ray Manzarek, Nick Lowe, K.T. Tunstall, Todd Rundgren, Gym Class Heroes’ Travis McCoy, Fall Out Boy’s Patrick Stump, Finger Eleven’s James Black and Rick Jackett, the Bacon Brothers and country star Jimmy Wayne, along with newcomers such as Philly soul singer Mutlu, Canadian techno-rockers Chromeo, MySpace pop-rock phenom Eric Hutchinson, Cash Money rocker Kevin Rudolf, Wind-up Records’ Chicago rockers Company of Thieves, Bay Area singer songwriter Matt Nathanson, Charlottesville, VA’s rising Parachute, Chicago rock band Plain White T’s and highly touted tunesmith Diane Birch.
Yeah I cut and paste that part. Lots of people show up for this once a month live broadcast from Daryl’s Connecticut home.
I’d have Shinobi Ninja and hmm Blue October swing over, but I’d end up bolting the doors and not letting them out. Lets leave the house parties to Daryl.
Seriously, check it out here. Very cool stuff.http://www.livefromdarylshouse.com/welcome.html
