It's still kind of hard to believe that summer will turn to autumn in the next few weeks. For many kids and teens, the first day of school marks the end of summer. For adults, Labor Day weekend usually marks the end of summer. Whatever the case, it has gone by way too fast.

Occasionally, we post on the week's new music released on Tuesdays. You'd think, given the name, that it was a weekly feature: you'd be wrong. PJ Harvey, Let England Shake I wasn't enthralled by Harvey's White Chalk , which articulated itself in a sustained whisper. And the first time I heard Let England Shake on NPR's preview feed, I questioned its worth. But what a difference fidelity makes.

PJ Harvey 's works are sometimes hard to digest, but this new album, Let England Shake , is quite pleasant and poetic.

The Family Jewels Jewel Akens (who should not be confused with Jewel The Babe Folkie) was a 19602s R&B singer. His early career included recording with jazz reed player Eddie Daniels (as Jewel And Eddie) as well as singing back-up for various and sundry R&B hits. His early recordings also included guitar-playing by Eddie Cochran . To elucidate further: In 1965, Akens recorded his only Top 40 hit, The Birds And The Bees .

In the beginning, The Who advertised themselves as purveyors of Maximum R&B. Although that soon gave way to straight ahead rock and roll, they occasionally came back to their roots as evidenced by this cover of Eddie Cochrans Summertime Blues on the legendary Live at Leeds album.]]> text/html 2010-11-09T17:00:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/2957737/watch-jack-white-and-conan-obriens-guitar-duel-on-conan/

Conan O'Brien & Jack White - « Twenty Flight Rock » (Eddie Cochran) Si vous suivez un peu les Late Night amricains, vous savez srement que c'tait le grand retour de Conan O'Brien hier soir sur TBS. Si vous suivez un peu ce que fait Jack White, vous savez srement que lui et Conan ont enregistr un album live lors du passage de ce dernier Nashville en juin dernier.

Filed under: Concerts and Tours , News , Television While hardly anyone knew what to expect from Conan O'Brien 's comeback to late-night TV on Monday night, pretty much anyone familiar with Jack White could guess that his performance on the premiere episode of 'Conan' wouldn't be business as usual. Still, it was somewhat of a surprise when, during the final stretch of the show, the host and Jimmy Vivino and the Basic Cable Band joined [...]]]> text/html 2010-11-09T13:43:48+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/2957275/conan-is-back/
So Conan is back on the air and all is right with the world. His opening montage was one of the funnier things I have seen on TV since the original Iron Chef Japan started rerunning every night at 11:00PM. It seems that Conan may have had a direct hand in the shows first music booking. With the Katy Perry's of the world vying for that last minute, fourth quarter look, it is Jack White that takes the stage. With Conan in tow, White rips through Eddie Cochran's "Twenty Flight Rock," and some of his more quintessential guitar [...]]]> text/html 2010-09-11T16:36:50+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/2814366/the-cure/

Brian Setzer, Lee Rocker and Slim Jim Phantom take on "Somethin' Else" by Eddie Cochran - live in Paris, circa '82 or '83. My older bro got to see the Stray Cats live back in the day.

The Purple Om Eaters From: London, United Kingdom The Purple Om Eaters are a gang of London based rockers injecting the music scene with a potentially lethal dose of hallucinogenic psychedelia, sunshine pop and garage rock.

In a recent piece about the late Hank Cochran , I mentioned that the veteran singer/songwriter had once formed a rockabilly singing duo with another young performer, Eddie Cochran. Although the two were not related they billed themselves as the 'Cochran Brothers' and did well for a while before going on to separate careers. In Eddie's case, he would emulate a shooting star by flashing brightly but briefly, dying in a car crash at just age 21. Edward Ray Cochran was born in Minnesota but his family moved to California during his teen years, and [...]]]> text/html 2010-06-22T11:51:36+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/2636294/danzig-watch-2010-in-defense-of-glenn-his-best-songs/
