Daily Diversion – Norman Toronto at the Double Door

Daily Diversion – Norman Toronto at the Double Door Norman Toronto Three think-sunny-thoughts reasons to get out of the house and wander over to the Double Door tonight... 1. The Albany Park quintet Norman Toronto and His Band easily fit within Chicago's vast and exciting psychedelic rock scene with its penchant for low-rumbling, swirling rhythms and sharp guitar solos. The glue that holds these ragamuffins together is Norman Toronto himself. The frontman's rich baritone triggers thoughts to other great dramatic vocalists such as Morrissey and Danzig. The band's album Rock and Roll [...]

Five Good Covers: Wake Up

Five Good Covers presents five cross-genre reinterpretations of an oft-covered song. Every band likes to end gigs with their biggest song. Arcade Fire must have a hard time drafting a set list, since every one of their songs is massive, but for a long time they've been sending off fans with the truly epic "Wake Up." It's a grand, soaring song that really requires the dedication of all eight Arcade Fire members. However, it's also such a gem that other artists can't help but try to take it on, though most of them tone it down to a more manageable [...]

It only took about twenty seconds into "Purple Haze" to realize rock and roll wasn't going to be the same. Though Hendrix covers tend to be an excuse for self-indulgent

Best Albums of the 00s: Funeral

Best Albums of the 00s: Funeral I continue the chronological countdown of my favourite albums of the last decade with the debut effort from Canada's Arcade Fire. I must admit that I was completely unfamiliar with the band's music when they played the Electric Picnic in 2005, even though they seemed to be the act that everyone wanted to check out. I never got to see them as I reasoned that people were being taken in by all the hype surrounding the band. When I eventually decided to check out the album the next year I knew I had been wrong. I was immediately [...]

Going offline for two weeks means returning to an inbox in the triple digits, and though my brain is swimming a bit from trying to cut it down to size in one afternoon, sifting through the backlog of sound is made easier by the presence of a few true gems, and a few others with moments of greatness they just cry out to be heard in spite of any rough edges. I'll have video, audio, and commentary from the newest and best from my annual pilgrimage through the New England folk scene anon, probably early [...]
