Like Flies On Sherbert & Show # 400

Apr 20, 4:01pm Revolution Rock
Like Flies On Sherbert & Show # 400 1n 1979, Alex Chilton released his debut solo album Like Flies On Sherbert . The album was panned by many critics and often labelled as a terrible album, but the album explored the very make up of Alex Chilton's roots as he ventured into a Memphis Roots Rock territory combined with the energy of Punk. The album was also recorded rather loosely and is at times loose and sloppy Like Flies On Sherbert features a gritty, honest off kilter charm. It is an album that captured the songs in a moment, mistakes, chaos and [...]

All The Time

Dec 6, 2011, 4:55am For The Sake Of The Song

Filed under: Concerts and Tours , News Henry S. Dziekan III, Getty Images Alex Chilton led one of the richest, strangest lives in rock 'n' roll history. He was, at various points in his 43-year career, a soulful teenage hitmaker, a power-pop innovator, a tender folkie, a CBGB punker and a rockabilly rebel, among other things. Beloved by many, unknown to many more, he played in Big Star -- one of the most influential bands of all [...]

Like Burning Fire Shut Up In My Bones "His word was in mine heart as a burning fire shut up in my bones, And I was weary with forbearing and I could not stay." Jeremiah droppin' lyrical science in the King James Bible (20:9) Today we connect the dots between Alex Chilton and a few of his southern contemporaries in the late '60s and early '70s. We begin this journey on April 7-8, 1996, in ... Glasgow, Scotland??? Damn straight, hippie. On those two nights, Alex played now-legendary gigs at The 13th Note with Teenage Fanclub as [...]

In Memoriam – March 2010

Apr 12, 2010, 6:01pm Any Major Dude With Half A Heart
A little later in the month than previously, here are some of the music people who died in March (since then, of course, Malcolm McLaren has joined the great recording studio in the sky). The Grim Reaper took two notable frontmen from us, Alex Chilton and Mark Linkous, as well as the blues singer Marva Wright (whose version of I Will Survive is as glorious as Gloria's) and grievously underrated folky Lesley Duncan (featured here with one of the few songs Elton John ever covered). Most bizarre was the death of Serbian pop star Ksenjica Pajcin, who apparently was shot [...]

I don't think a lot of you who read this blog are old enough to even begin to think about the thinning of the ranks that goes on once you start talking 50 years old and up. My own father was dead at 54. I don't have any health problems or family history that leads me to believe that I'm going anywhere anytime soon, but stories like these give you pause just the [...]
