Noah Gundersen - Ledges - LIVE at The Big House (Part 3)

This series of posts isn't about what I or the other panel members think is best, but what our brain latches onto, those ear worms that loop around and around in your head. - Adrian ( me ): Tyler Lyle - The Wine Maker's Love [...]

song obsession relaunch

Two and a half years after my last regular song obsession post I've decided to relaunch the series , this time as an every-two-weeks affair. I just found it was a great way to ask my friends and fellow music fans what they're really obsessing about at the moment. Song obsessions are those songs that get stuck in your head. This series of posts isn't about what I or the other panel members think is best, but what our brain latches onto, those ear worms that loop around and around in your head. [...]

jeff mangum @ sander theatre (review, setlist, etc) + new neutral milk hotel box set to come

Two-Headed Boy Acoustic Encore by Jeff Mangum
On Friday I saw Jeff Mangum of Neutral Milk Hotel , recently out of his self-imposed reclusion, play an acoustic set at Sanders Theatre in Cambridge. In the Aeroplane over the Sea is an album of great importance -perhaps so Important that it needs to be capitalized-to me, as it is to many people, so you would think that I was unbelievably excited about this show in the days leading up to it. I was excited but I tried [...]

damn I want to be in a rock band

The recently reunited Archers of Loaf ( myspace ) played on Jimmy Fallon last Friday. I haven't found a late night performance so inspiring in a long time. It makes me want to play in a rock band. Thrash around on guitar. Or bass. Write cryptic lyrics about life and girls. Jump up and down. Yell so hard at the mic that spit flies everywhere. Do sweet air kicks. Turn turmoil into distortion and distortion into music. By now you should know that I'm a big Archers of Loaf fan . Looks [...]

4 excellent african music videos

Fool's Gold - "Surprise Hotel"
Ken's Song - A Traditional Era from David Tree on Vimeo . First is a video from Zambia. Traditional guitar and vocals with adorable kids and grandmas dancing and singing along. Take note that the (homemade?) guitar has bottle caps attached to give a buzzing quality to the sound. That buzzing timbre is common to African music, but it's most common in West Africa. - Fool's Gold is possibly just another white American group using African idioms in their music, but [...]

Sam Cooke's 80th birthday

Sam Cooke's 80th birthday Today would have been the truly incomparable Sam Cooke's -called the Inventor of Soul -80th birthday. He started singing in soul groups and ended up in the influential Soul Stirrers . Eventually he took that gospel sound into secular music, first in 1956 with a reworked gospel song called "Lovable" released under the pseudonym Dale Cooke in order to hide his identity from gospel fans who might not like his foray into secular music. He left the Soul Stirrers in 1957 to pursue pop music. [...]

top song obsessions of the year (2010)

top song obsessions of the year (2010) "Nothing Like You" by Frightened Rabbit was my top song obsession, photo by ipickmynose 2010 has been the oddest of my life, full of contradictions: the most amazing and most boring times; the most lovelorn and most disinterested; the most outgoing and most antisocial. It'll take years to see what it all means and where it will lead, but I have to say it was pretty good. But these contradictions led to a vast and odd array of music getting caught in my head, twisting and turning around in there and begging to [...]

I didn't realize JV ran a construction company in cape town…

I didn't realize JV ran a construction company in cape town… I didn't realize John Vanderslice ran a construction company in Cape Town under a pretty poor fake name. What can't that guy do? By the way, his free EP is further proof that he's the nicest guy in indie rock and it's totally worth checking out. Here's my favorite track: John Vanderslice - Streetlights (mp3) (Oh, he also has a new album coming out January 25. You can hear a new track .)

It makes me happy when I hear a new artist doing soul right , like Mayer Hawthorne , Raphael Saadiq or Candie Payne .

The anticipation is madness; I think the country will explode before the first game. My South African parents didn't listen to pop music but we did have Graceland .

down and dirty old-school R&B

down and dirty old-school R&B a reissue of an early Tamla record You know I love soul. I love Motown's soul pop sound. I love Stax's hard driving soul and soul-funk. I'm into Dusty's blue-eyed soul and some of that Northern Soul sound. But sometimes I want that other stuff, that down and dirty rhythm and blues, with sauntering bass lines and tight-but-rough horn lines. With swinging drums and voices that tell you they know a little something about the world. That music that makes you feel like [...]

"bury me": three views of folk through death obsession

"bury me": three views of folk through death obsession Joe Pug by Adrian Bischoff Certain phrases skew themselves toward certain types of music.
