Little Sparrow

Feb 22, 2012, 10:43am Duurt Lang
Little Sparrow Ik erger me vaak aan covers, zeker in dit tijdperk van talentenjachten. Een cover voegt bijna nooit meer iets toe aan het origineel en dat is zo zonde. Het wordt eigenlijk altijd een slap aftreksel van het origineel. Gelukkig is daar Bettye Lavette, een wat oudere rockzangeres uit Detroit met een stem als schuurpapier. Eén van haar beste albums is 'I've Got My Own Hell To Raise', een albums vol covers of liever gezegd; reïnterpretaties. Zij zingt daarop louter repertoire van andere zangeressen, Sinead O'Connor (I Do Not Want What I Haven't Got), Fiona Apple (Sleep To Dream), [...]

Sleepsongs -> I Have A Dream: Sleep To Dream

Jan 16, 2011, 12:39pm Star Maker Machine
Sleepsongs -> I Have A Dream: Sleep To Dream Fiona Apple: Sleep To Dream [ purchase ] Bettye LaVette: Sleep To Dream [ purchase ] It's hard to find a better transitional song to get us from sleep to dream than Fiona Apple's half-chanted declaration of feminist self-reliance and confidence. Unless it's Bettye LaVette's incredibly soulful transformation of it, which brings an awesome grit and determination to what had been a poppy, almost petulant charter. Though I'm [...]

Tonight in L.A.: Jets Overhead, Betty LaVette, Wallpaper, Eastern Conference Champions

Aug 19, 2010, 1:42pm Buzz Bands
Top 4 ways to keep that summertime adrenaline pumping: ☛ Jets Overhead have jetted in from Canada — that's their new video for "I Should Be Born," above — and since I've advocated for them before, I'll do it again. They play the Roxy on a KROQ Locals Only bill (hmm, KROQ now reaches all the way to Vancouver? That's impressive) with true locals Italian Japanese , Sea of Cortez and Sabrosa Purr . Good bill, and to celebrate, here's a download of "I Should Be Born." [...]

Live Music Options: 8/16/10 - 8/22/10 Al Green Plays the Greek on Saturday I made it out to the Bootleg last Wednesdy for Division Day and The Joy Formidable . The venue was packed. Division Day sounded great, making me wish they'd start playing a lot of shows again. The Joy Formidable quickly won over the crowd. The band was tight, loud and Ritzy (the lead singer) had a ton of charisma. Also caught the very tail end of These United States at Spaceland on Friday night. Monday [...]

july 2010 mix

Jul 1, 2010, 2:41am hearsay
Before I even did a mix dedicated to delta blues , I was determined to do a mix of vintage soul. At the time I was obsessed with the Numero Group 's Eccentric Soul series (I still am), and it the first pass I took at doing a soul mix was too single-sourced to merit posting. My knowledge of soul is ever expanding from a number of sources - hip-hop samples , Mississippi Records' tape series , and good old self-motivated research - so it was just a matter of time [...]

I mean, that's part of the reason, but it's not the whole reason. Oh, and if you're reading this, I wasn't found dead of autoerotic asphyxia this morning. Good job, me!

Nothing important to speak of today. I saw that fucking safecount pop-up ad again today, so I've written several angry e-mails to both the Adify Corporation and the MOG Music Network in the hopes that one of them will confess to ruining your recent visits to this website. I apologize again for any inconvenience these annoying ads have caused you, and hope they will not deter you from coming back in the future. If I have to suck it up and cancel my advertising accounts (which will result in me losing some much-needed income) I'll do it, if only to [...]

Covered: Fiona Apple/Betty LaVette The perennially moody Fiona Apple recently recorded a cover of Cy Coleman's 'Why Try To Change Me Now' for a tribute EP, "Then Was Then & Now Is Now". It was great to hear something new from her. It's Fiona doing what she has mastered at. An introspective jazzy ditty for those rainy days. I hope she is in a studio somewhere working on some new music. It's been 4 years since 'Extraordinary Machine'. Fiona Apple - Why Try To Change Me Now [...]
