While this is technically called a "Holiday" album, I don't think it would be wrong to call it an album of Christmas music, since that is the only holiday this record seems to celebrate. O Holiday Hits 2008 (Available only until 11/28/08) Faith Hill , " Joy to the World " from the album Joy to the World Tony Bennett , " I'll be Home for Christmas " from the album A Swingin' Christmas Il Divo , " O Holy Night " [...]

Dalla scorsa estate Rolling Stone ha chiesto ai molti artisti, giornalisti e addetti al lavoro con cui hanno avuto a che fare quale per loro fossero le voci più importanti della storia del rock dall'inizio ad ora. Tutti le preferenze sono diventate una classifica (e ti pareva?) stilata dal magazine musicale statunitense in 100 posizioni precise. Da come potete vedere dalla foto qui sopra è risultata vincitrice Aretha Franklin seguita sul podio da Ray Charles ed Elvis Presley. Nienta di dire sulla bravura, ma ho qualche dubbio sul rapporto con il rock di alcuni classificati... [...]

La rivista Rolling Stones è da sempre tra le più attive nello stilare classifiche tematiche. L'ultima apparsa nell'edizione americana riguarda i 100 più grandi cantanti di tutti i tempi. Al primo posto s'è piazzata la regina del soul Aretha Franklin . Questa la top-ten decretata: 1 Aretha Franklin 2 Ray Charles 3 Elvis Presley 4 Sam Cooke 5 John Lennon 6 Marvin Gaye 7 Bob Dylan 8 Otis Redding 9 Stevie Wonder 10 James Brown Inevitabilmente soggettiva, come [...]
En una encuesta realizada por la revista Rolling Stone a 179 músicos y productores como Keith Richards e Iggy Pop entre otros, la grandiosa Aretha Franklin fue elegida como la Mejor Cantante de Todos los Tiempos , dejando a Ray Charles y Elvis Presley en segundo y tercer lugar respectivamente. Otros que también aparecieron en la lista son Sam Cooke, John Lennon, Bob Dylan, Stevie Wonder, Robert Plant y Michael Jackson. Yo la verdad no sé si podamos considerar a cualquier cantante como el mejor de entre los [...]
A few of us here at Stranger Dance fled the DC area to get away from politics, but even we've gotten caught up this election season. Having said that, I'll be happy when it's all over and we can start moving forward. However, if you just can't get enough of this battle, you can even check out the candidates top 10 songs thanks to imeem. Not surprisingly, Barack's list features some more modern artists (Kanye West, Fugees, etc) along with some R&B classics (Marvin Gaye, Aretha Franklin, etc). We've already discussed McCain's love of Abba [...]
. Think about it: if a song title riffs on the theme of grooviness – as a noun, verb or adjective – it is almost certain to be an affirming, cheerful tune and lyric. So as most friends of this blog are entering the dark, depressing days of winter I thought they might need some groovy, sunny cheer... This mix covers several genres – pop, soul, funk, indie. Much of the material here is old, though
Una delle icone più longeve della musica black ci dimostra tutta la sua ironia "on stage" il che ci permette di apprezzarla ancora di più: stiamo parlando di Aretha Franklin la quale propone una sua rivisitazione del successo di Mariah Carey " Touch My Body ". Questa esibizione non si presenta come particolarmente interessante ma è degna di nota la volontà di un'artista del suo calibro di prendersi poco sul serio proponendo una canzone che di sicuro è nelle sue corde ma che non calza a pennello nè col suo fisico statuario nè con [...]
Aretha Franklin and Mavis Staples - O Happy Day
I'm beginning to think there are two kinds of heartache in this world. The first, a kind of terror. Twisting anguish that is hot and unrelenting. (The kind that often accompanies a sudden, absolute loss.) And then there is a more menacing kind. The death by a thousand cuts kind. Slow, steady, sometimes even evading detection. When two adults want to be together but cannot be, because it doesn't work, how do you pry your heart away? For the heart is not a practical instrument. It is impetuous and determined. How do collect your belongings and depart [...]
I was wading down a shallow river next to a camp site in the Catskills when I saw these under some sand that had washed up on shore. NSFW. Above: A dead walrus washed up on the shores of Bristol Bay, AK MP3: Aretha Franklin - Border Song (Holy Moses) MP3: Randy Newman - Naked Man
It's been a while since we have brought you any updates from our favorite Texas based Dj... PRINCE KLASSEN . He has recently been feeling under the weather and we are thankful for that, it forced him to stay home and finish some long awaited mixes... His newest addition to the "professional edit" archive takes the soulful sounds of Aretha Franklin added with a little more funk. (side note) When I hear / see Djs taking on more grown-up/ classic sounds and beats it [...]

New Cat Power covers EP "Dark End of the Street" will be released 12-9-08, but track list out now. This will give those not familiar with the originals plenty of time to get acquainted. Cat Power will also be at the Palladium Ballroom this week (on the 9th to be specific). This should be the perfect venue for someone like a Cat Power and opening act Appaloosa . "Auld Triangle" ( The Pogues ) "Dark End of the Street" ( James Carr ) ( DL ) [...]
America's decade-long drunken, credit binge is coming to an end. How many of us live beyond our means? Our Playstations, designer jeans, smart phones, leased cars--all purchased on credit. It's time we learned what generations before us learned the hard way: don't buy what you can't afford, and always put money into savings. Need a little music to ease that gnawing anxiety? Mix: Recession Depression 1. "Year of the Dog" - The Lovely Sparrows 2. "Furr" - Blitzen Trapper 3. "John Henry" - Ed Lewis [...]
Have you ever tried to shove a double 10″ EP inside a Christmas stocking?

Chan Marshall and group will also make it available digitally through your favorite digital retailers and feature covers recording during the sessions for ‘ Jukebox ’, the track listing can be found below.

Al parecer a Cat Power no le gusta desperdiciar su trabajo, ya que la cantante ha decidido lanzar un EP, en formato digital y vinil, con algunos de los covers que no entraron en la edición final de su disco Jukebox . Esta nueva producción, que saldrá a la venta el próximo 9 de diciembre, llevará por nombre Dark End of the Street e incluirá covers de Credence Clearwater Revival, Aretha Franklin y Otis Redding entre otros. Yo sé que mucha gente es [...]
This weekend I'm going to pretend that I am a vice unit detective, and stalk a murderous coke baron from across the club while everyone around me dances to the new Lenlow jam, completely oblivious to how steely and determined I am to bring this monster to justice. Lenlow "Aretha World Aretha Worrrld" (Aretha Franklin vs. Daft Punk vs. Señor Coconut and His Orchestra)
