I think it must have been a compilation CD that came with CMJ Magazine that included a song from the 902s band Grant Lee Buffalo that lured me to purchase Mighty Joe Moon in 1994 or so. The album kicks off with the searing guitars of "Lone Star Song" and proceeds to swing bipolar between sweet folky acoustic and burning electrics all housed in HUGE unabashed reverb like only the 902s could deliver. Needless to say this was exactly what my then 26-year-old self thought was the best thing ever! Playing though [...]

For the third installment in our lists about time, I'm taking it down a notch and focusing in on songs about the seconds, minutes, and hours that we could use to be productive if we weren't listening to songs about seconds, minutes, and hours. Time is a topic I've wanted to tackle [...]

Click to view slideshow. Day three and more sun, surely one the only sequences of three whole days without rain that we've had all summer. Despite 12,000 pairs of feet, the estate still looked rather fine and the spirit of village-green good naturedness was still at the forefront of everything. On the bandstand the Keston Cobblers' Club provided the perfect soundtrack for the setting with a gorgeous set of gentle folk that bodes very well for their forthcoming album. Elsewhere Grant Lee Buffalo's reformation and return was met with a set that [...]

Scan "Self-Portrait with Sheila " by me Howdy kiddos! How the fuck are ya? Me? Well just dandy dandy, thank you for asking... As many of you know, I've been a busy boy over at tsurufoto , takin' lots of pictures, starting a nudie blog , and, of course, running the #1 nudiezine in the world ! I've taken quite a hiatus from "new music" for a few months and I [...]
Late in the middle of last night, my friend Brian in San Francisco sent me this song, with the subject line "life changing jam." I'd never heard it before, and of course I love a good hyperbolic recommendation. After a good ten times of playing this sweetly melancholic, symphonic song (reminiscent of some of my favorite moments of sexy-Bono-falsetto U2), I'll buy that. Grant Lee Buffalo is a name from the past that I am only loosely acquainted with (mid-Nineties, pretty sure I saw them live with R.E.M). Brian is tied to [...]

Charles Bradley at Bumbershoot 2011 (09/04/11) Words and Photos : Drake Lelane Enjoy the final installment of Drake's coverage from Bumbershoot 2011. -ed. Bumbershoot 2011 - Day 3 For the third and final day of Bumbershoot, I had a special guest with me to start out. My four-year old son Zane, freshly back from a week at Camp Grandpa, loves himself some live music, so he acted as my 'assistant' for the first half of the day. [...]
Bumbershoot 2011 Day Three (September 5th, 2011 - Seattle, Washington) ** There may not be a better way to begin a day of musical carousing than by watching Charles Bradley, otherwise known as “The Screaming Eagle of Soul,” and “The Black Swan,” take the stage for an intimate, live KEXP performance. The Gainesville, Florida born funk-star and soul-singer is a true legend, and it’s easy to see why. Draped in a royal-red, sequined blazer, and offering a reverential bow, Bradley held the audience in a state of excited bliss [...]

For the last half century or so, the British music press has generally loved two things: music that sounds unmistakably British, and music that sounds unmistakably American. And when I was in London in the fall of 1993, just after Suede's rise, but before Parklife and Britpop dominance, the English music press loved Grant Lee Buffalo, who were as as interested in steeping in being American as the new crop of British bands were in being quintessentially British. GLB's debut album Fuzzy got rave reviews, but didn't gush nearly as much as the reviews of Grant [...]
