Kasim Sulton in Japan – I love these lil’ video clips that musician (and long time Todd Rundgren band member) Kasim Sulton posts on youtube. it’s always neat to get a glimpse of what professional musicians do when they’re not on stage. In his most recent segment, Kasim shares a little of what he saw on his walk through Osaka, Japan. here’s the link to his video clip.
Geoff Downes interview – man, Asia is getting a whole slew of press surrounding the release of their brand new studio album Phoenix

Yo, Dan! We had Larry Tagg on RundgrenRadio last night announcing this Bourgeois Tagg reunion, too! Update: There will be TWO shows; one in Sacramento on 6/3 and another in Dallas on 6/12. You can bet I’ll be there on the 12th for sure. I used to go see Uncle Rainbow as a teen, but never realized it was the same guys who went on to become BT, until I was preparing to interview Larry. Funny how that works, huh?
