Adam’s World Weekly 11/2 – Hype, Hyped, and … Ketchup?

Adam’s World Weekly 11/2

Welcome to the new week everyone.

My week will be starting off in just a few hours with a speaking engagement at a lunch where I’ll be talking about One Hit Wondering, and how my childhood of being raised in a musical household was the true genesis of both the book, and my career.

The week will continue with One Hit Wondering hype, as I’m booked for an interview with the Rockmommy Talks podcast on Friday. The convo will also run as a transcript on the Rockmommy blog. You already know I’ll be sharing those links as soon as they’re up.

My own blog is apparently pretty popular. A recent check of my page views had me HYPED, because even though I don’t believe numbers are the be-all and end-all, it’s pretty awesome to see I had 300k page views over the past three months.



Can I keep it going? Who knows! All I know is I’m going to continue to write about awesome artists, great music, and interesting record store finds, and hopefully people will continue to enjoy it.

Speaking of what I’ve been writing about, leading off this week’s update is my latest One Hit Wondering column, and it’s on a Spanish language group that gave the world a gigantic hit that had a novelty dance associated with it.

Nope, not that group!

I’m talking about Las Ketchup!

Forgot about them? You’ll definitely want to read the column to remind yourself of the song, and learn about the insane controversy that wound up surrounding it. I also feature three of the trio’s album cuts, one of which was wildly progressive, and years ahead of its time.

In addition to that feature I also have fresh editions of Pop Shots, and my weekly NYC Scene Report for you to check out.
