From The Desk Of Christopher O'Riley: Jon Hassell And Maarifa Street, Live In Lausanne, 2009

Jan 29, 8:00am MAGNET
" Last Night The Moon Came" Jon Hassell
Perhaps best known for the NPR series From The Top, musician Christopher O'Riley is far more in-tune with music than most of the world. Not only does he host and mentor young musicians, O'Riley also transcribes and arranges songs by Radiohead, Arcade Fire and more for the piano and, more recently, the cello. O'Riley has [...]

Eno's You Know

Dec 13, 2011, 6:45pm Irk The Purists
Eno's You Know Half Man Half Biscuit's oeuvre (see below) includes a pin-sharp skewering of the nineties rockist cliché that was the Eno Collaboration . Which brings me, in a DJ-like segue, to David Sheppard's biog of Brian Eno , first published a couple of years ago, and which I've just finished reading. I only started it last week, and not a couple of years ago, incidentally. Sheppard (a sometime member of Ellis Island Sound along with Pete Astor of the Weather Prophets and The Loft) has a curious writing style, as a friend correctly identified. His sentences [...]

Brady's Top Ten Albums of 2009

Dec 7, 2009, 11:53pm I Hope Your Ears Bleed
Brady's Top Ten Albums of 2009 When one of my buddies recently complained what a sorry year 2009 was for film, I pitied him, because for music, the year was a truly great one. Especially compared to the onset of this decade, when bubblegum pop ruled the charts, Napster was hitting its stride and Destiny's Child was still together. The lonely thump of late-90s techno that was formerly a major influence on popular music gave way to a movement of open-minded, more cerebral musical ideas. [...]

gleaned clean

Sep 25, 2009, 7:13am Word The Cat
gleaned clean c.1330, from O.Fr. glener, from L.L. glennare "make a collection," from Gaulish (cf. O.Ir. do-glinn "he collects, gathers," Celt. glan "clean, pure"). Figurative sense was earlier in Eng. than the literal one of "gather grain left by the reapers" (c.1385). O.E. clæne "clean, pure," from W.Gmc. *klainoz "clear, pure," from PIE base *gel- "to gleam" (cf. Gk. glene "eyeball," O.Ir. gel "bright"). As an adj., replaced in higher senses by clear, pure, but as a verb (c.1450) it has largely usurped what once belonged to cleanse (from O.E. clænsian), which, despite its modern spelling (16c.) retains its M.E.

Jon Balke's Norwegian-Andalusian Journey Defies Description

Jul 7, 2009, 2:58pm Spinner.com
Jon Balke's Norwegian-Andalusian Journey Defies Description Filed under: Around the World In one respect, Norwegian musician-composer Jon Balke 's latest project, 'Siwan' -- a collaboration with Moroccan singer Amina Alaoui , avant-ambient-jazz trumpeter Jon Hassell , Algerian violinist Kheir Eddine M'Kachiche, Iranian zarb player Pedram Khavar Zamini , Norwegian percussionist Helge Norbakken and the Baroque Soloists ensemble -- has an edge over some of his other recent works: It's nearly describable. Nearly. We'll leave it to him to make the attempt. "Ha!" [...]

Hassell, Vandermark and Argue: Three Distinct Voices in the Jazz Family

May 21, 2009, 4:13pm Spinner.com
Filed under: Jazz Modern jazz cuts a wide stylistic swath, making the music difficult to categorize or define. Today's composers, such as Jon Hassell , Ken Vandermark and Darcy James Argue , are considered leaders and innovators -- all brilliant men with vision whose music may sound vastly different but whose wellspring of creative ideas are undoubtedly drawn from the same inspirational source. Jon Hassell may well be one of the most insidious influences in modern music. Trumpeter, composer and deep thinker, he may not have the [...]

Jon Hassell, Jimmy Giuffre/MJQ, Al Cohn/Bob Brookmeyer, Blind Joe Taggart, Bob Wills...

Aug 1, 2008, 5:03pm wordsandmusic
So here we go again... Having spent the sunny days listening to old Wolf Eyes wahoo and other assorted loud power electronics... here's... Jon Hassell. Who sails away on 'Blues Nile.' A gag I could not resist. I'm all for cheap and easy laughs... Opens on a drone then shadowy trumpet, breathy and bending. Trumpet doubled up, a muezzin-like call across a misty landscape. The influence of his voice teacher Pandit Pran Nath comes through strongly here, it seems – a vocalised line of fragile beauty. [...]

song obsession friday! (for the week ending October 5)

Oct 5, 2007, 8:38am ipickmynose
IRAN SNL Digital Short September 29 2007 *BEST SOUND*
Song obsessions are those songs that we listen to on repeat. I noticed that my obsessions are often a week long. I also thought that other people might have similar obsessions. I've collected a panel of a few like-minded individuals and gotten their "song obsessions of the week." Quite often it's easy to explain why the song is good; it's much hard to explain why we're obsessed. Maybe you'll become obsessed with one of these. - Adrian ( me ): Andy Samberg and Adam Levine (and Richard James) - Iran [...]

Is Unauthorized Downloading Akin to Theft?

Sep 19, 2007, 10:48am Rock Town Hall
Many years have passed since we first gained the ability to "file share" and otherwise download .mp3s without the permission of artists and record labels. Some of us may recall a day when we found this practice "immoral" or, at least, "objectionable." I'm sure most of us with these memories next remember our first rationalizations for the unauthorized downloads we began making. "I only download stuff that's out of print."

third floor classics (part one)

Dec 5, 2006, 2:17pm horselatitudes
third floor classics (part one) When I was growing up my brother and I were fortunate enough to have our own floor in the house we lived in. This meant our house became the defacto hang out venue for our mates as we could smoke fags and listen to music without being disturbed. They were good days. ribena/chocolate slices/and the first beginnings of a lifetime love of music. third floor classics are a collection of tracks from those halcyon days-not all of them have aged that well, but all retain some element of what it is that really excites [...]
