The Platters and the Lettermen

Platters - Smoke Gets In Your Eyes
Phil writes: When I was a lot younger, I often heard great standards in what I later realised were versions very different from the originals. Here are two by artists who, in my view, had considerable influence on what came after them. I think these compare well with any of the more orthodox takes on the songs.

Goodnight, Sweetheart

I generally refrain from personal divulgences, but in receiving a number of inquiries about a significant abscence of beastly radness, I'll simply note that my grandmother (whom we endearingly called, Sweetheart) passed last week, so focuses were justifiably shifted. Patience is appreciated. Also, high fives. Goodnight, Sweetheart. I love you. mp3: The Platters - Goodnight Sweetheart

Heavy platters, light sounds

Heavy platters, light sounds Nothing like light music issuing forth from clunky, fast-spinning platters. It runs so contrary to our concept of easy listening and "semi-Class," probably because we're led to associate such music with long-playing discs. Welcome to pre-long-playing reality. Because I've had so very many requests--many bordering on desperate pleas--for gypsy laughing choruses performed by Welsh male choirs, I've decided to blog-premiere the Royal Mt. Ash Male Choir's The Gypsys' (sic) Chorus , from 1926. Quite helpfully, the label credits the number to the person who arranged it for BBTT (bass, baritone, first and second tenors) instead of the [...]

Aretha Franklin Biopic Unlikely to Star Halle Berry

Aretha Franklin Biopic Unlikely to Star Halle Berry Filed under: News , Movies Bryan Bedder, Getty Images Now that Aretha Franklin is over her medical troubles, the Queen of Soul can turn her attention back to a proposed biopic of her life. While Franklin has frequently mentioned that she wants Halle Berry to play her on the silver screen, the Oscar-winning actress doesn't think she's really qualified for the part, the Press Asssociation reports.

Blue Valentine Soundtrack: Grizzly Bear, Dirtbombs, Ryan Gosling, More

Blue Valentine Soundtrack: Grizzly Bear, Dirtbombs, Ryan Gosling, More In addition to featuring at least one pivotal music-based scene , director Derek Cianfrance's Ryan Gosling and Michelle Williams-starring romantic drama, Blue Valentine , boasts an impressive soundtrack, made up mostly of previously released songs and new instrumental compositions by Grizzly Bear, as we first reported last year. Not only do 8 songs with vocals from the Brooklyn quartet appear "in all of the scenes of Dean & Cindy falling in love," but — according to the film's Australian website — 2 new, non-Dead Man's Bones compositions by Gosling, a [...]

La sfida in musica dei candidati USA

La sfida in musica dei candidati USA La sfida tra i due candidati più forti alle prossime elezioni americane si misura anche in musica. Barack Obama e John McCain hanno comunicato le proprie top-ten del cuore, le canzoni a cui sono più legati. Anche da queste indicazioni si possono riconoscere differenze di stile e di mentalità, non trovate? L'unico artista che li accomuna è Frank Sinatra , per il resto le scelte sono molto diversificate. Con qualche sorpresa: l'avreste mai detto che il più anziano conservatore impazzisce per gli Abba , di cui indica ben due pezzi? E che il giovane democratico ha [...]

Muse en Scene

Okay, so first off, some self-imposed restrictions: No Martin Scorsese, Quentin Tarantino or Wes Anderson films (these guys are just uncanny in their ability to marry film and song, and there's just too many stand-out examples to pick from), and in tribute to "High Fidelity", anything involved in "The Big Chill" (and for good measure, "Stand By Me") is automatically disqualified. I'm also just limiting myself to "found" music - that is, music that was recorded previous to and independent of the making of the film in question. No incidental music soundtrack songs, and nothing recorded for [...]
