Every week we bring you Friday on My Mind , a collaborative effort with King 5 News which explores musical subjects with focus on three artists or bands. February 3rd is the anniversary of what people refer to as "The Day the Music Died" when Buddy Holly, The Big Bopper, and Ritchie lost their lives in a plane crash. Today for the Friday on My Mind feature, we choose not to focus so much on the horrible tragdey of that day in 1959, but to celebrate and reflect upon the longstanding impact these young artists made within [...]
Repost: Published in 2009, still of interest today. To this day, people still mourn the musical talent who died in a plane crash in the early morning hours of Feb. 3, 1959. A small airplane, carrying rock stars Buddy Holly, J. P. "The Big Bopper" Richardson and Ritchie Valens, crashed only minutes after taking off from Mason City, Iowa, in a snowstorm. The three had just played the "Winter Dance Party" (see yesterday's post ) and were heading to the next stop in [...]

Buddy Holly, the most important creative force of primitive rock, was unique, his legendary status and his impact on popular music is all the more extraordinary that they have imposed 18 months ago . He influenced many bands, including the Beatles, who will take many of his titles, but also the Rolling Stones, the Beach Boys or the likes of Bob Dylan. The frequently buzzed about and hardworking Brooklyn-based DJ/producer Jacques Renault has remixed Buddy Holly's "Slippin' & Slidin'" for a special digital 45 that [...]

Have you ever been listening to your Top 25 on iTunes and found yourself thinking "Wow, this is great but what I would really love right now is a mix of Buddy Holly and psychedelic rock sung by someone who sounds slightly like Elliot Smith ?" While it may not be the most direct line of thinking, after listening to San Francisco- based indie rock band Girls you cannot help but wonder how the strange musical compilation didn't enter your perception earlier. Main songwriter and singer (as well as former Children of God cult member) [...]

In a world where my electronic explorations often lead me to all things dark and abrasive, I recently find myself increasingly compelled to seek out the foil to my natural inclinations in the form of smooth, silky disco beats (it's important to consume a balanced diet, after all).

Below, he remixes a classic from Buddy Holly , "Slippin' and Slidin'". Holly's soothing vocal makes a great match for Renault's soothing instrumental. The track will [...]
