Countless music loving fans grew up singing and dancing to their favorite tunes in their bedrooms, utilizing hairbrush microphones or lamp guitars (or perhaps that was just us?) Swedish pop singer Sophia Somajo (aka Soso ) probably did too, and she's recreated the experience in her music video for the Cody ChesnuTT cover "My Women, My Guitars". What was once a shameful activity done with locked doors sees Somajo invite a whole backing band (guest stars KRIGET) to rock and roll and romp about literally on top of her bed, trading the dorky energy formerly associated with [...]

Cody ChesnuTT released a new song off his upcoming full Length Landing On A Hundred album, titled "Under the Spell of the Handout". Lyrics available HERE via OKP
Elysian Fields est un groupe de musique new-yorkais , formé en 1995 autour d'Oren Bloedow (guitariste) et de Jennifer Charles (chant et instruments). Les autres membres sont James Genus, Ed Pastorini et Ben Perowsky. Leurs albums sont teintés de jazz et incluent quelques morceaux de rock ; mais le groupe est plus connu pour ses ballades sombres, mystérieuses et mélancoliques, et le timbre envoûtant de la chanteuse, qui forment ce qui est appelé aux États-Unis le rock noir . Sébastien Martel est guitariste [...]
Thanks to Matt at You Ain't No Picasso I caught this video of Mister Heavenly performing one of the best self-esteem boosting songs; Cody Chesnutt's "Look Good in Leather". I always put this on when I'm walking around the city and no matter how hard I resist, this song makes me strut. It'd be embarrassing if I cared, but I don't because I look good in leather...at least that's what Cody is making me think. Seriously, you'll be hard pressed to come up with a song that makes you feel cooler than this one. [...]
* Marc Hand Movements* August 25, 1987 : the day JUICE was created, manliness was reinvented, and the the world started to make sense. It is the womb expulsion anniversary of Mr. Marcus aka Jamarcus fka "One Take" Jamarcus bka Marc. The founder of MJF and personal gigolo of Zoya turns 24. Hurts when breathe, I'm sure. We can all attest that this blog holds a certain place in our lives and in the subcockle regions of our hearts. For the writers, it gives us a creative outlet and a [...]
Click image to download full album Sounds like: Bilal, Jimi Hendrix "Cody Chestnutt - Everybody's Brother" What's so good? Cody Chestnutt has the makings of a modern-day myth. He was part of a band called The Crosswalk that had a record deal in the 90s, but never materialized into a commercially released album. Then, years later, he barricaded himself in his bedroom and created the [...]
L'histoire de Cody ChesnuTT et de son 1er album solo est un peu particulière. Ce guitariste d'Atlanta avait signé avec son groupe The Crosswalk sur un label mais ce dernier l'a lâché au dernier moment. C'est donc avec la rage au ventre que Cody ChesnuTT s'est enfermé chez lui pour enregistrer les 36 titres qui constituent l'album The Headphone Masterpiece . Son nom ne vous dit peut-être rien mais sa chanson "The Seed" a dû certainement arriver jusqu'à vos oreilles par l'intermédiaire de The Roots qui [...]
Just came across another great music blog out there called I am Fuel, You are Friends . She is a great writer, has dyno-mite taste in music, and uncontrollably throws her readers goodie after goodie. One recent post in particular got my attention when I scrolled down the tracklist and saw a bunch of my favourites. Here is the link to the Springtime Playlist as well as the mp32s below for your listening/downloading pleasure. Free mp3: David Wax Museum - Born With a Broken Heart [...]
I rode my bike to work this morning against the winds, and noticed a yellow crocus has bloomed in my front yard since I last looked. Pretty soon I will plant my garden, and for the first time in a long time last week I fell asleep with the window opened to the sound of warm rain. For all the pristine icy clean of winter, the hearth of a fire, the months for introspection, I am thrilled at the thaw. I've been squirreling away songs for this spring mix since January, in an act of hope that [...]
[There is a video that cannot be displayed in this feed. Visit the blog entry to see the video.] The homie Drubacca hipped me to game about a month or so ago that Mr. ChesnuTT was bout to drop the follow up to Headphone Masterpiece . ALAS! I copped it today & then I found the video for it right afterwards. If Bilal is our modern day Donny Hathaway, then Cody is our modern day Marvin Gaye. The album [...]
MV TIME MACHINE // Sam Cooke Hey Vags, I'm starting a new series of posts where we highlight amazing artists and performances from back in the day. All of today's artists have been been able to push the envelope like never before because of the trail blazers of music's past. We will highlight artists that have shaped the future of music, notable performances in history and just down right cool-ass shit will be posted sporadically. Sam Cooke and others in the soul movement of the 50's and 60's set the stage for modern R&B and soul [...]
After an eight-year hiatus, Cody "two T's in the nuTT" ChesnuTT—the man behind the Roots' hit "The Seed 2.0" and his own soul epic The Headphone Masterpiece —has finally returned with a new set of tunes. Black Skin No Value , a six-song EP released this past December, is a typically eclectic and gracefully soulful collection of songs. "Do Better To The Young," which sounds like a lost Marvin Gaye demo circa "What's Goin' On," is followed by the sparse acoustic gem "The Quiet Girl Who Eats Alone" and the trademark frank Chesnutt lyricsism of "Everybody's Brother," which [...]
The worst thing about new books is that they keep us from reading the old ones. - John Wooden The same could be said about music. The worst thing about new music is that is keeps us from enjoying the old favorites . I was never really cognizant of that until I really got into blogging a little more in-depth. The exclusives, the leaks, and the general rush to uncover any unheard screech seems to be the central mission of the average music blog. It's funny to say that because I feel like I'm [...]
J-Laini has been holding the best Wednesday club in Helsinki for a while now, first in Redrum and now at Club YK. Better get your ass down there tonite as Cody ChesnuTT is playing with his live band.
You might have forgotten about this guy, or maybe you never heard him in the first place. Make no mistake about it, despite his eight year absence, Cody Chesnutt still maintains one of those voices that warms your soul, as good R&B should. He's just released his Black Skin No Value EP , and the only single out right now is under a minute long, but if you listen carefully, you can hear the talent this guy has, and it makes everything he does, somehow important in my world. [...]
On commence à percevoir petit à petit ce à quoi devrait ressembler Black Sin, No Value , le nouvel album de Cody ChesnuTT prévu ce 7 décembre. Et il y a de quoi rassurer les fans du chanteur après 8 ans d'une trop longue absence. Avec " Do Better To The Young ", second extrait de l'album après "Come Back Like Spring" apparu en avril dernier, ChesnuTT est à nouveau en pleine maîtrise de sa soul épurée. C'est avec un plaisir évident que l'on retrouve ce grain de voix et cette qualité d'écriture qui [...]
Après 7 ans d'une longue absence et un petit sursaut il y a quelques mois, il semblerait que Cody ChesnuTT soit définitivement de retour ! Et c'est une double bonne nouvelle puisqu'en plus d'un nouvel album intitulé Black Sin, No Value (Vibration Vineyards) prévu le 7 décembre, le chanteur soul sera en concert à la Bellevilloise (Paris) le 22 décembre. Un événement absolument immanquable pour tous les fans de soul et pour tous les autres. Son concert à l'Elysée Montmartre il y a 7 [...]

"...imagine the sort of compositions Marvin Gaye would write if he were living in the Florida foothills, tending to his wife and family, sitting next to a pond with his guitar , wondering what to make of what's left of the world..." - Chuck Lightning, The Believer Cody Chesnutt, the reinventer of soul music that last swept the world with The Headphone Masterpiece and his Roots collaboration "The Seed 2.0", will finally be releasing new music in the form of a new album titled Landing On 100 [...]
