Filed under: News , New Music , Exclusive Jeff Beck is on the short list of the world's greatest living guitarist, a double member of the Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame as a solo artist and with the Yardbirds and an unquestioned rock legend. But the guitar slinger's first new album in seven years, 'Emotion and Commotion,' still found him riddled with doubt and insecurity at the beginning of the recording process. "[It was] quite a traumatic time for me because that [...]
The Who - The Real Me Die Anfänge der britischen Mod-Bewegung liegen in den späten 1950er Jahre. Damals wollten sich besonders Angehörige der Arbeiterschicht, gemäß des Leitspruchs „Der Schein bestimmt das Sein“, von seinem Schmuddelimage lösen und sich durch Stil und Verhalten der Oberschicht annähern. Plötzlich trug die Jugend maßgeschneiderte Anzüge und Markenklamotten. Um diese angemessen zu schützen wurde während der Motorrollerfahrt ein Parka übergezogen, der schon bald das Markenzeichen der Bewegung wurde. Vor allem in den 1960er sowie in dem Wiederaufleben der Bewegung Ende der 1970er wurde dieser mit zahlreichen Aufnähern [...]
Della fissazione degli inglesi per le classifiche abbiamo parlato un paio di settimane fa , a proposito degli artisti più suonati in terra britannica. 'Stavolta vi proponiamo la chart della radio Absolute Classic Rock che ha chiesto ai suoi ascoltatori di stabilire quale sia migliore canzone rock. Prima di dirvi chi sale sulla posizione più alta del podio (tanto lo avete già letto nel titolo), una considerazione a margine. Nonostante l'immaginario made in UK sia poi stato legato a ben altri nomi (pensate ai numi tutelari del Brit Pop ), i sudditi [...]
The Yardbirds were an English rock band that had a string of hits in the mid 1960s, including "For Your Love", "Over, Under, Sideways, Down" and "Heart Full of Soul". The group is notable for having started the careers of three of rock's most famous guitarists: Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, and Jimmy Page, all of whom were in the top fifteen of Rolling Stone's 100 Top Guitarists list Amazon Store
Mark Mikel: 2010 Anthem [commercially unavailable] I couldn't resist posting Mark Mikel's "2010 Anthem", for the obvious reason. Mark Mikel is the lead singer and chief songwriter in a fabulously psychedelic band out of Toledo, Ohio called the Pillbugs . He has also recorded a lot of solo material, this song included. I'm not sure when this song was written, but I'm guessing that 2010 was used as a reference to a not-too-distant future. (See also Paul McCartney's " [...]

Time Travel Tuesday! I haven't written one in a long time. Today's installment is inspired by the movie It Might Get Loud , which Mr. Folkie and I saw last Sunday. This film is a must-see for those of us who love electric guitar, but it will probably not be as interesting to anyone else, especially those who are not familiar with at least one of the three musicians spotlighted: Jimmy Page, The Edge, and Jack White. Mr. Folkie was tolerant and interested only because [...]
For anyone who has been a rock n’ roll fan for all their lives, favoring the guitar as their instrument of choice, rocking out on the couch with an air guitar or closely touching stardom as a Guitar Hero, It Might Get Loud offers an exceptional and behind the scenes look at the electric guitar and how it has been held, shaped and molded by three prominent musicians of the past thirty years. It Might Get Loud is a rock doc showcasing the electric guitar in the hands of Led Zeppelin ’s [...]
It Might Get Loud is the true story of three iconic electric guitarists picked to get together for a "rock star summit" and have their lives taped to find out what happens when they stop being polite and start getting real. Actually, Sound is a rock 'n' roll documentary from An Inconvenient Truth director Davis Guggenheim that chronicles the creative processes and disparate styles of Jack White (the White Stripes, the Raconteurs, the Dead Weather), The Edge (U2), and Jimmy Page (the Yardbirds, Led Zeppelin) focusing on the powerhouse trio as they hang out [...]
This double-album is the stuff dreams are made of. It's like getting laid when you're single or losing 10 pounds when you're fat (I'm not judging; I've gained way too many). I sauntered into a record store in Boulder, Colo., and bought this French mono 2XLP for a cool $12. As is my wont, I let it sit for awhile, then took it for a spin. Then I looked it up on eBay . Then MusicStack . This fucking thing is worth upwards of [...]
The rise of this kind of all-day indie sockhop is proof L.A.’s warehouses aren’t just for freight, psytrance and the odd orgy anymore. The Nomad Gallery Art Compound, a friendly art-bunker wedged deep in untrendy Frogtown, embraced the underground party set’s chill equation of art + music + abandoned industrial space = fuck the Sunset Strip with July 4th’s raucous “New Weird America” Festival.
Today, Wednesday June 24, 2009, former Yardbirds ’ guitarist and rock legend Jeff Beck turns 65.

Thanks to WORN FREE , you can be apart of Beck’s history by donning his iconic “On [...]
While eating at Tacos A-Go-Go (amazing queso) this week while on business in Houston, I heard The Yardbirds " Heartful of Love " for the first time in years. When I was about 15, one of the first singles I ever bought (7" vinyl was the only option then, not a nostalgia trip) was an oldies reissue of " For Your Love " / " Heartful of Soul ". I loved it but strangely never pursued [...]
The Strange Boys And Girls Club In The Red Records Release Date: 03.17.09 With the time change and sunshine fast approaching and the prospect of long afternoons on the lawn running into late nights at the local dive becoming more feasible, The Strange Boys arrive just in time to offer up a nice little soundtrack to your inevitably hazy Spring. And Girls Club , the first full-length offering from the Dallas-born, Austin-honed foursome, is equal parts The Kinks , Dylan , The Yardbirds and a little flare of those [...]

En Agosto de 1965 The Yardbirds lanzaban con Columbia un mini EP que contenía tres temas. "My Girly Sloopy" , originalmente llamada "Hang On Sloopy" e interpretada por primera vez por las voces soul de The Vibrations , "I'm Not Talking" , del imponente pianista Mose Allison , y "Ain't Done Wrong" , composición propia de [...]
Anthony Topham y Chris Dreja eran amigos de la escuela, uno de los lugares del mundo del que han salido las mejores bandas. El caso es que en el año 1963 la pareja de jóvenes amigos solía visitar el Railway Hotel de Norbiton, a las afueras de Londres. El hotel ofrecía sesiones de jazz, r&b y blues y permitía a los músicos noveles tocar durante los descansos. Aquella práctica estaba muy extendida en el Londres musical de principios de década, y fue vital para que [...]
Todays entree is essentially an ode to popular 60's and early 70'smusic. With a little help from Pitchfork as well as discogs I was able to delve into some much older tracks that have a much more sound generally than most of the electronic music posted here. The tracks range from the classic jazz of coltrane to the early blues rock of the Yardbirds. You can practically hear Clint Eastwood in Ennio's masterpiece soundtrack. My Favorite Things- John Coltrane The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly- Ennio Morricone [...]
