Patton Patton is a film that I somehow avoided for many years despite seeing its iconic opening scene spoofed in numerous ways over the years. I had always heard that despite being a great film, the length of the film less than desirable. While I admit the film does feel even longer than it 170 minute running time, I was glad that I finally got around to seeing it. I loved the way George C. Scott portrays General Patton as both a brilliant strategist and as a man who may be slightly [...]
I hold a special place in my cynical heart for Patton Oswalt. He was the first stand up comedian that I actually started listening to and appreciating. His style of humor is self-deprecating, story driven, and infused with pop culture tangents. His fourth special, "Finest Hour," is another reliably hilarious set from the king of alt-comedy. Although it doesn't hit peaks of comedic genius as often as his first couple specials, it's still a must-own for comedy fans. The special ranges across subjects, from Oswalt's experiences as a father, to his hatred of hipsters, [...]
As usual I am late to the party. Hell Reverend Peyton's Big Damn Band isn't even new around these parts. Apparently I was an idiot and didn't get in to them when AIV posted about them way back in 2007 and now I am sad. I am sad because I could have diggin' on this bad ass music for four years and haven't been. Peyton On Patton is 13 Charley Patton songs given the Peyton treatment. Now I won't claim I know a damn thing about delta blues but there appears to be some [...]
No doubt I'm a homer for The Reverend Peyton's Big Damn Band . Love 'em - an amazing, engaging, live party show. Not many bands work harder out on the road. The band's latest release Peyton on Patton is a bit of a different look at The Rev. The album is a tribute to the legendary Delta Bluesman Charley Patton. Peyton on Patton is a largely solo affair with the Rev's growling vocals and searing guitar work [...]
The Reverend Peyton's Big Damn Band Peyton On Patton SideOneDummy Records [2011] Fire Note Says: The Reverend Peyton's Big Damn Band provide a solid Delta Blues education. Album Review: Peyton On Patton almost serves as its own revival for the "Father of the Delta Blues", Charlie (Charley) Patton who passed away in 1934. This record covers 13 tracks of one of the oldest known [...]
@ Facebook // OnLine // Label // AMAZN mp3 - vinyl // iTunes I've been listening to the new Rev. Peyton album Peyton On Patton. Mostly a solo affair, Peyton pays true tribute to his hero, and the true King of Delta blues, Peyton's hero, Charlie Patton. I could go on but, honestly, the [...]
Mr. Mike Patton gracing SF.
So here we are at Day 2 of the "Best of 20093 Blogger Crew and today is a monster post from E. over at Das Klienicum . It's a monster because he is posting on his top 50 albums of the year and he even has ratings broken out by number of stars (ranked out of 5 as best)....ummm, top 50 people!! There isn't gushing, there isn't microscopic dissection of each album in order to create some sort of reasoning, there is simply that feeling when you just know that this album is good and [...]
Some of you might already know that Todd Terje's 'Wade Nichols' alias was inspired by the late 1970's pornstar turned singer turned pornstar Dennis Parker, aka Wade Nichols. Sadly Denni ole' boy went and got himself loaded up with Aids (probably getting blown off by one of the several coke head hookers he often rubbed shoulders with) Dennis then decided to get blown one final time, (he opted for a shotgun).......... so his output was sadly cut short........but....he still left his mark. Here's his silky disco gem 'Like an Eagle'..... If you've been listening to [...]
mit matamore hatten wir es noch nicht so groß am hut, wenngleich wir einige der vertretenen künstler durchaus mögen, verehren und dies auch kundgetan haben. half asleep zum beispiel, weniger raymondo oder sepia hours, dafür auch soy un caballo . matamore ist label, blog und informationszentrum in einem. im kleinen shop können die releases erworben werden. mit "hellénique chevaleresque récital" von patton kommt nun eine neue veröffentlichung hinzu. hinter patton verstecken sich sam und max bodson. während max die akustische gitarre und den bass bedient, [...]
