A Roland Juno 60, an electric guitar, a bass and a soprano ukulele are enough for Tomislav Domes to take us on a smooth and sweet trip. We'll get back later to this particular voyage. A different journey started for Domes at the turn of the century in Zagreb, when he and his mate Ivan Slipčević gathered to create the Zvuk Broda projects. Focusing on live performances and producing a sort of Deep-House and similar sounds, the duo gained a pretty good visibility and reputation not only in Croatia but also in the club scene [...]
Regular visitors to the GMC know that slideshows often show up on weekends, and I can't think of anything more appropriate for Halloween weekend than pictures of Jack-O-Lanterns. And to make it extra special, most of them are definitely goblin-like. I can remember attempting to carve pumpkins for my kids when they were small (the kids, not the pumpkins) and my efforts were decidedly less spectacular than the kind you see below. Kudos to the folks who created them. Henry Mancini - "Spook!" [...]
"Poor slob without a name! The way I see it I haven't got the right to give him one. We don't belong to each other. We just took up one day by the river. I don't want to own anything until I find a place where me and things go together. I'm not sure where that is but I know what it is like. It's like Tiffany's." Henry Mancini - Something For The Cat
We look at a cross-section of covers from R.E.M.'s career, focusing on songs and bands that don't necessarily come to mind when you think of these college rock masters.
That's right fools, it's Monday, you're up early for work, you already want to go home and Friday is no where in sight. You went from cold beers at a beach to hot coffee in a cubicle, it's the roughest of times indeed. But cheer up old chap!, we've got the antidote for anything remotely lame so say hello to the anti-work, anti-monday experience - Ryan Radler's S U M M E R : a n t i – w i n t e r 1 b. Last week we introduced you to Radler's fine wine of a [...]
For this week's In the Window , I head over to Queen West's Neurotica . Described by the owner, Scott, as "the anti-Chapters," this is a great place for hidden gems and general record bin searching. With vinyl, CD's and DVD's covering every surface of the store, you could spend hours poking away at the stock. This Queen West location has been around for almost 15 years, and is the third and longest standing iteration of the store. Scott tells me that he prefers to stick to the older vintage stuff because he believes [...]
This list of the most-covered songs of 2010 may surprise you!
Vince Guaraldi casts his fate to the wind and it came up "Peanuts."

Filed under: Concerts and Tours , News After being on the road with Against Me !, Franz Nicolay headed to the studio to work on his solo effort, 'Luck and Courage.' So when the former Hold Steady keyboardist shared some of the new material with a group of music-loving Brooklynites at a one-off gig for local concert series Backyard Brunch Sessions in Williamsburg Sunday afternoon, he warned the crowd about being a little rusty. "I haven't played shows in a couple [...]

Another kind of Buffalo band was born. After the world got to know Avi Buffalo, and the Tel Aviv based Buffalos, it's time for Buffalo Moon. Based in Minneapolis, MN, and it's probably the best thing to come from this area since Brenda Walsh and her annoying righteous brother. They define their style (the band, not the [...]

Couple of days ago, I took the liberty to admit that, yea, though I love experimental noise and saxophone drillers, I also love exotica and lounge. There's only so much nostalgia I can write about in one week, after all, this is 2010. But maybe because it's 2010, and the speed of events, the zeta-bytes of information, and our hurry to achieve whatever it is we're trying to achieve, that makes us all unease and turn us to three year old infants when it comes to our lack of ability to focus and stick to one thing. [...]
During my teen years, I was a little unfocused about my musical tastes. Actually I was unfocused about most everything in those days, but we're talking about music here and one thing I do remember is how much I liked the Henry Mancini brand of jazz on the TV's Peter Gunn . The music from that show earned Mancini the first of his many Grammys, and it also made him a natural to furnish the music for a new program from the same producer. Mr. Lucky , a show about the operator [...]
A minor gem in the late legend's storied career.
You ever have one of those days when you just feel too lazy to do much of anything? The slows have definitely hit me today, so music that connects to my mood seems to be inevitable. I'm thinking lush instrumental, something that just allows a person to kick back and relax. Perfect conditions for the music of Henry Mancini. One of the best composers of all time seemed to be a master at that kind of music, and a lot of it showed up when he furnished the soundtrack for the ground-breaking TV show, Peter [...]

Breakfast at Tiffany's hat Audrey Hepburn unsterblich gemacht. Nicht ganz unschuldig war dabei wohl auch das von Henry Mancini geschriebene und von Hepburn gesungene Moon River . Gecovert wurde der Song nicht nur einmal . Aber eine der schönsten Versionen des Songs (neben dem Original natürlich) fand sich 2004 auf dem Benefiz-Album Now the Day is Over von The Innocence Mission: (Der Song lässt sich auch in voller Länge auf last.fm anhören ) Auf dem Album sind neben [...]
