The big Memorial Day weekend is here and we want to know: what are you grillin' this holiday? Here in Texas barbecue is a religion, like football and drivin' fast. Barbecue is sittin' on the patio, a Weber grill smokin' some ribs while you listen to rock and roll and swig a cold beer. Barbecue is more than just tossing some wieners on a fire. It's smoking a succulent side of beef, making sure those pork ribs are just right, and poking a fork in a chicken thigh to make sure the juices run clear. It's real cookin'! [...]
I very nearly kept with the themed mixes of vintage tunes, but thought, "No, it's just not fair to everyone..." I know you (like, both of you) count on me for new music, as well as the old, so I needed to bring it this month. And there's still a good serving of old stuff, but hopefully enough things with "20113 in the year category to make this feel relevant if the last few months have felt dated. If you don't enjoy Paul Brunelle's take on country, or Opus 32s cover of Gilbert O'Sullivan's "Alone Again;" you're not invited. But [...]
A track that is so deep that it not only touches your heart but moves it. Nicolas Jaars crisp beats with Wendy Renes beautiful voice makes this deep slow track another one for the collection. Just like all of Jaar's tracks, edits, bootlegs or whatever else he puts his touch on, we just can't get [...]

The other day in the office someone was playing the Wu Tang song that samples Wendy Rene 's After Laughter (Comes Tears) and like the Clan before me, I'm entranced by that little organ solo and despite the less than flattering photograph, Rene's voice is haunting and girlish and soulful all at once. So really, needless to say this is just a really incredible song and if for some reason, you haven't heard it, I would probably right that wrong, right now. mp3: Wendy Rene - After Laughter (Comes Tears)
The Patron Saint of Texas BBQ I realize some of you in other parts of the country (and the world) are still gettin' winter weather. Here in Texas it's grilllin' time. If you are in Minnesota or New York, stop yer bitchin' for a minute and see if you can get a whiff of my charcoal fire. Ah, sorry to be taunting you like that. Here in Texas barbecue is a religion, like football and drivin' fast. Barbecue is sittin' on the patio, a Weber grill smokin' some ribs while you listen to [...]
I'm fixin' to barbecue up some ribs this afternoon - with temperatures at my house expected to be around 95 today, it feels like freakin' winter. Yeah it's been hotter than hell around here lately, but that can't stop me from barbecuin'! What about you? All you need is a fire of some sort, and some meat - and some barbecue sauce to cover up what you screw up. So let's get started ... you light the pit and I'll cue up some tunes! MP3: "Boogie Woogie Barbecue" by Mitch Woods [...]
Musically there have been a few defining moments in my life, one of them being the first time I was put onto Wu-Tang's Enter The 36 Chambers. I didn't understand exactly what it was that I was listening to, but I did know for sure that this was something I wanted to hear more of. The gritty beats, lyrics, and overall content of the records were like watching a movie, and I couldn't look away. I studied every scene, visualizing the whole album in a slightly different way each time through. My 36 Chambers cassette had found a [...]
Concert de Raekwon à Lyon C'est en 1993 que Raekwon intègre le Wu-Tang Clan. Au sein du possee de New York, Raekwon s'impose vite, notamment tout au long du 1° album du Wu-Tang : Enter the Wu-Tang / 36 Chambers. Son premier album solo ne tarde pas, dès 1995, produit par RZA. Cet opus lance définitivement la carrière solo du natif de Staten Island. Depuis Raekwon a sorti 2 autres disques et poursuivi sa collaboration avec le Wu-Tang Clan. Raekwon est en concert à Lyon [...]
The greatest thing about America's 4 July celebrations is not the fireworks but the gluttony that accompanies them. So, in honour of the USA's annual pig-out here are some food related songs from Carnival Saloon regulars, plus a couple of oldies, to go with your meat feasts. MP3: Wendy Rene - Bar-B-Q There's no other tribute to grilled meat that compares to Wendy Rene's 1964 Stax single. In this year's Southern Music issue of the Oxford American Zeth Landry even [...]

Il y a des chansons qui vous prennent entièrement en moins de temps qu'il en faut pour le dire. Celles dont on sait de suite qu'on va entamer une relation longue durée avec, en sachant que cela comporte des haut et des bas, mais qu'on les aimera toujours. (oui oui il est question ici de chanson) Stand On The Word est de celles là. Idéale pour prendre la route (rdv la semaine prochaine). The Joubert Singers - Stand On The Word [...]
Lykke Li ft El Perro Del Mar - After Laughter come Tears (Wendy Rene) If you have a brother or sister, you'll probably remember hearing the following warning when growing up, usually spoken by your mother: 'someone will get hurt'. I don't know how she knew it (well, probably from the fact that it happened ALL the time), but she tended to be right! You might also recognize it as the sample used in the Wu-Tang Clan's Tearz Kings [...]
very cool to see dave post that questlove sample montage earlier today, taken from gilles peterson's radio one program back in 2005...thought i'd one up him though, & post the same mix, only broken up...obviously, audiophiles like dg don't require the extra help, but for the rest of us, the separate tracks make the playlist a little easier to follow...i also included full length versions of a few of my favorites from the mix below, so make sure to check those out as well. download: questlove - the lesson.zip [...]
