Alex Chilton died a year ago today. Among his many attributes (singer, songwriter, band leader, and troublemaker) he was an interpreter and connoisseur of songs - all kinds of songs. I'd like to think that Alex had a big record collection but he probably did not. It would have only weighed him down. He was more likely a kind of musical sponge absorbing everything and spewing it out artfully in his own way. Today, in remembrance of Alex we'll listen to a few of those songs performed by the original artists that he brought to [...]
"His word was in mine heart as a burning fire shut up in my bones, And I was weary with forbearing and I could not stay." Jeremiah droppin' lyrical science in the King James Bible (20:9) Today we connect the dots between Alex Chilton and a few of his southern contemporaries in the late '60s and early '70s. We begin this journey on April 7-8, 1996, in ... Glasgow, Scotland??? Damn straight, hippie. On those two nights, Alex played now-legendary gigs at The 13th Note with Teenage Fanclub as [...]
As a longtime fan of the Pernice Brothers and having enjoyed Joe Pernice 's first novella, Meat Is Murder , from the 33 1/3 series, I'm looking forward to reading It Feels So Good When I Stop . However, I haven't had a chance to read it yet, so I can only assess the album on its own worth. The album sounds as if Pernice had you over to play a random assortment of songs in his living room, and unfortunately the result simply isn't as good [...]
by Scott Schinder On April 28 and 29, the House of Blues in New Orleans will host the eighth edition of the Ponderosa Stomp, the annual marathon throwdown that showcases the surviving originators of R&B, soul, rockabilly, garage-rock, swamp pop and country. Since 2002, the Stomp—the brainchild of Big Easy anesthesiologist/music fiend Ira "Dr. Ike" Padnos, kingpin of the shadowy Mystic Knights of the Mau Mau—has hosted performances by a dazzling array of vintage cult legends, forgotten geniuses and one-of-a-kind visionaries, many of whose careers stretch back more than a half-century. Now in its third [...]
Valentine's Day is here, and for the romantic sort (of which I consider myself) I can only say that It's proved time again to be the source of the greatest humiliation and bitterest of feelings in past relationships. Why is this? Great expectations and diminishing returns. I guess that's my problem. The good news is, I'm single this year, and I don't need to set myself up for any Hallmark induced hysteria. Don't get me wrong. I believe in love, but do we really need to set aside a single day of the year to [...]
Well folks, I'm gonna be out of town for the next several days, in Memphis TN, the jewel of the mid-south and one of my favorite places. So, feeling a strange obligation to keep all of you readers amused, I've compiled a little playlist of songs concerning Memphis. None of these mp3's are from actual records (i.e. 78's or 45's) like in my ordinary posts, but they're all good and I'm sure some of will you prefer the less noisy recordings. Plus, it's really a bitch to find a copy of Mott The Hoople on 78. There were several [...]
