Copy Borrow Steal Vol. 5

Mar 7, 11:45pm Any Major Dude With Half A Heart
Copy Borrow Steal Vol. 5 I haven't done a Copy Borrow Steal for ages. Inspired by Tim English' fine book Sounds Like Teen Spirit ( website and buy ), it really is a very occasional series: this is the fifth article in two and a half years. In this instalment we'll look at a Van Morrison hit that sounds a bit like a soul number from 1968/71; an early Elvis hit written almost a hundred years earlier; and a Led Zeppelin song that doesn't draw inspiration from some blues singer, but from the Doobie Brothers. * * [...]

Cortar, pegar y hacer algo (parte I)

Feb 6, 8:00am indieHearts
Cortar, pegar y hacer algo (parte I) Por Federico Moreno Uno de los instrumentos que ha cobrado mayor importancia en los últimos 30 años es el sampler . Sin ánimos de aburrir con una reseña de tecnología musical (con permiso de los geeks y adictos al hardware para la producción musical), y a riesgo de que me lleven preso por esquemático, podría definirlo como el que dotó a la música contemporánea de un banco de sonidos ilimitado y sorprendente, como es la totalidad de la música grabada durante más o menos los últimos 100 años.

Kevin Casey's Sample Saturday – Etta James & William Bell et Pretty Lights

Nov 19, 2011, 11:27am Et Musique Pour Tous
Kevin Casey's Sample Saturday – Etta James & William Bell et Pretty Lights Categorizing the productions of Derek Vincent Smith, better known as Pretty Lights , is a little complicated, as he tends to fuze hip hop style beats, often at dance music tempos, with buzzing synths, moving pads, and classic soul and funk samples. I have to be honest, I embarrassingly didn't even know about the Pretty Lights phenomenon until my homegirl Allie's facebook status earlier this year when she said, "listening to my new obsession, Pretty Lights". Reading that led me to over an hour of youtube viewing, the whole time in awe of his live performances , pausing frequently to [...]

Any Major Christmas Soul Vol. 1

Dec 1, 2010, 6:12pm Any Major Dude With Half A Heart
Any Major Christmas Soul Vol. 1 Christmas got funky, Christmas got soul! The analytical eagle-eyed reader may have deduced, by astute observation of the post's title, that this year's Christmas mix is dominated by soul music, and that there will be at least one more compilation. Indeed, there will be at least a second mix of Christmas soul tracks from the heyday of the genre – the 1960s and '70s. I have held back a few cracking numbers anyway. Still, this is a really great bunch of songs. Whoever I got the utterly gorgeous opening track from, I am particularly grateful to. The Flirtations, one of [...]

I went from one cd, Otis Redding's Greatest Hits, Volume 2 to The Complete Stax Singles 1959-1968. I think a lot of folks can hand something this comprehensive to a [...]

Signs of the Times

Sep 1, 2009, 9:00am A Town Full of Losers
Signs of the Times An actual Edinburgh street sign A couple of days after coming back from France I was on the road again. This time I returned to Scotland for the second time in two months and to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival for the fourth time this decade. Edinburgh is one of the most beautiful cities in the world and it's a busy place during the month of August. The streets are full of tourists, performers and, I presume, people from Edinburgh. There are hundreds of venues devoted to putting on some amazing comedy, theatre and music [...]

Pleasure in Pain

Jul 26, 2009, 3:35pm Hypercorrect
Pleasure in Pain Schadenfreude is a feeling you've probably had, even if you don't know what it means. German-born sociologist Theodor Adorno defined Schadenfreude as "largely unanticipated delight in the suffering of another which is cognized as trivial and/or appropriate." Anticipated or not, there is something slightly uncomfortable about taking pleasure in another's pain. But the singers in today's mix sound pretty damn smug about their adversaries' demise. People say, "hate to say I told you so," but really they love it. William Bell - I Told You So I bet you regret it already, [...]

As I've mentioned before, this year I've been trying to really explore the Stax catalog. I didn't grow up on soul or funk, so there have been a lot of great revelations. Some of the stuff is [...]
