Filed under: News , Exclusive On track number six off of Jack Peñate 's sophomore album, the Brit admits that there are two things to take note of: a really big sniff that he forgot to take out of the recording, and Adele . While visiting New York to promote 'Everything Is New,' due August 18, Peñate stopped by the Spinner office to play some of the record for the staff. On the forementioned song, 'Every Glance,' Peñate sings all about a woman's Medusa-like gaze, with Adele providing [...]
"Stately" is an adjective I rarely use to describe an album, but it fits Allen Toussaint's new album, The Bright Mississippi , like a glove. The Bright Mississippi is a special album, demanding multiple listens to truly get the tapestry of American music – Ellington inspired jazz, r&b, Creole, ragtime – that it weaves with such effortless cool. It's an album that contains the full experience that is life – its joys, sorrows, delights and hardships. That is to say, it's an album with soul. Toussaint, [...]
We counted down the complete Beatles' catalog, and now we take on their rivals for title of best rock band ever - The Rolling Stones. This time we're going to break down the band's 40+ year career in easily digestible chunks. We'll start with the seventies, arguably the Stones most fertile, or at least varied, decade.
Someone asked a question about the song Six Strings Down . And it reminded me that I own the DVD A Tribute to Stevie Ray Vaughan , and that song is on it. I had loaned it out to so many different people, because I wanted them to see what other musicians thought about Stevie Ray Vaughan, that I was worried that I had lost it. So I had to go to my DVD collection to see if I could find it. I had not viewed it [...]
top of the afternoon. im caught in the middle of some kind of re-imaging pc vortex at the moment. i fix one issue with the re-imaging process, then another one pops up, and so on and so forth. what makes it even more awesome is that these are slow ass machines. so loggin into one will take roughly 10 minutes and then re-booting takes another 20. do that a dozen times and your day is shot. so, here's the rest of the dr john performance. see below for the first half and other details. 11. interview [...]
since my move to new orleans, i have really attempted to expand my musical horizons. i have been listening to wutl which plays everything from you run of the mill indie rock to new orleans inspired joints, and honestly its awesome. most definitely the best radio station i have ever tuned into. if i can some of this stuff that wutl plays, i am going to make every attempt to post it, cause i really think that a lot of you may dig it as much as i do. this is assuming that if you visit on a [...]
So I'm in a great mood. Spring is in the air. The cherry blossoms are out. Those so familiar voices are coming out of that cheap little transistor in the kitchen telling me what's going on in the ballpark. My Giants win their home opener, small thanks to our Cy Young winner (that was a little scary, no?). And to top off the afternoon my son pitched well in his little league game. Great way to start the regular season. So why not some baseball tunes? America's Favorite Pastime - Todd Snider [...]

Ah yes, Mardi Gras. If this is your first time, welcome. I remember my first Mardi Gras in New Orleans, back around 1978 or so. I spent three days and nights there, and when I left I wondered "What the hell just happened?" Mardi Gras is a party for the best of reasons: to have a party. Catholics say it's to get all the deviltry and mischief out of your system before Lent sets in but if you go to New Orleans you get the impression most of these partygoers aren't worried about sinning, church and stuff like [...]

If I were to make a list of ten things that I missed most from the States, eight of them would be food. (The other two would be my family and college football on the TV). And the food that I miss most is Southern food - biscuits and gravy, collards, proper fried chicken, hush puppies, corn bread, fried okra, barbecue so tender that it falls apart in your mouth. Waffle House. After a week that started with the Antipodean Death Plague and went downhill from there, I was in need of some serious comfort food. With dinner [...]

I did not watch the Grammy Awards television show, but I did go online to Grammy.com to see who actually won the in the blues catagory. I'm presenting the various albums and the two winners.

It's two years now since we began broadcasting here from Fluville. I usually mark this day with some Elvis, since I started this on his birthday (Happy Birthday Elvis), but instead, today we'll pay tribute to an infectious little number (pun intended) by our patron saint Huey 'Piano' Smith. I've gathered up a few versions of "Rockin' Pneumonia and The Boogie Woogie Flu," for your listening pleasure. First, the original in it's original 78 RPM issue. It rocks, but you know that already. Next, The Clowns' drag-queen lead singer [...]
Well, the holidays are upon us. Lots going on, of course. But, thought I'd feature this Dr. John (Mac Rebennack) track from a 1989 LP called Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas , an obscure various artists project with the Roches, the late Nicolette Larson, the good Doc and others, recorded in Manaroneck, NY. I don't even recall where I picked this up, but fairly soon after it came out - it was already a cut-out. "Silent Night" (Joseph Mohr - Franz Gruber) [...]
Neil Young has never been one to rest on his laurels. He is 63 years old and while nearly all his contemporaries are either taking half-assed victory laps around the arena circuit or slowly fading away at county fairs, Young is still burning up the stage with impassioned performances and an ever-growing body of material that has remained shockingly relevant. Tuesday night he brought his big tour to Chicago. Unlike other legendary artists such as Paul McCartney, Eric Clapton, and, umm, Lil Wayne, Young brought his big tour to Chicago's [...]
