david byrne in chicago

Oct 27, 2008, 11:07pm the leather canary
david byrne in chicago after his show at the civic opera house last night, i came home & checked david byrne's journal to see what he'd been up to in chicago all day (i'm guessing it was a little too cold for a lakefront bike ride)...but unfortunately, he seems to have fallen a little behind in his posting (just like us!)...anyway, if he's already been through your city, you should definitely look to see what he thought of it...as for the show, it was incredible; i don't think his voice has ever sounded better, the dancers weren't nearly as annoying as i first thought [...]

oh (ohio) i've always liked lambchop , what with their lush, laid-back mix of smooth country & soul, but i seldom find myself reaching for their albums...& when i do, it's almost always nixon ...that might explain why it took me a few weeks to put this new one on...as soon as i did, though, i was reminded of the understated intricacies that make kurt wagner & co. so much different from everyone else...there's a quiet elegance that keeps you relaxed & engaged all at once, & it's really hitting the spot right now...that artwork's pretty hilarious too.

Self Portrait

Oct 17, 2008, 8:56pm the leather canary
Self Portrait DC mentioned it earlier and I agree, the fall state of mind has got me tied up as well. Having just gotten married last weekend and a number of other overall transitions, I haven't been seeking out the newness as much as I've been taking time to relish the classics. With the wifey and I taking a brief vacation to the northwoods of Wisconsin (even further north of Bon Iver Country!) I found myself spending quality time with the old friend Zimmy. Actually, our backwoods retreat (pictured above) was not far from Robert's home [...]

Friday Funk + Soul BONUS - Kids Edition !

"Make the Road by Walking" performed by PS 20
Awesome ! "A few months after the release of the Jay-Z track, Brenneck was contacted by the principal of Public School 20, an elementary school in nearby Clinton Hill, Brooklyn, who had tracked down the original after being blown away by the sample in the radio hit. The school band invited the Menahan Street Band to their recital to watch them perform their own rendition of "Make the Road by Walking" and to join them in their music class the following Friday. The experience proved mutually inspiring for both the children and [...]

thanks i'll eat it here

Oct 17, 2008, 10:32am the leather canary
thanks i'll eat it here as this indian summer rolls on, i seem to find myself reaching for the lone solo album from lowell george quite a bit...the laid back, slinky grooves just go down so easy & the soulful performance lingers on well after the record has stopped spinning...it's pretty well known that the one time little feat frontman preferred the stage to the studio, & in fact it took him over two years to complete the nine songs on this album, only three of which were original compositions...but i can only imagine what it was like to see him perform, as he died [...]
