Montreal's Flotilla sounds rich. Not rich in a mo-money-mo-problems way. But rich in the way people speak about Belgium Chocolates or leather armchairs or engineered hardwood flooring. This is a whole new level of sophistication. Wine-swirling, candle-lighting, cheese-eating sophistication. You might as well invite some architects, archeologists, artists, writers and Frasier Crane over for a soiree and use this as your playlist. I'm not saying that it's music for snobs. Far from it. It's definitely polished. It's also got distinctively pretty sound with elements of jazz, cabaret, folk, electronica and rock, held together with [...]
La scorsa settimana abbiamo terminato il nostro viaggio attraverso gli album più importanti del decennio che si sta concludendo. Abbiamo quindi pensato di riassumere il tutto in questo post che non è altro che la lista completa, tappa per tappa, degli album che di volta in volta abbiamo approfondito, in modo tale da avere una sorta di indice delle varie puntate. Dopo il salto trovate anche la listona di tutti gli album che di anno in anno sono stati inseriti fra "gli album da salvare". [...]
Today I had an unexpectedly thrilling adventure, as I was invited to see the inside of a working 89 key, 440 pipe fairground organ. Let me explain. For years, my father volunteered for the St. John's Ambulance service. This meant that many summer weekends the family would go off to visit some random event, dad in his uniform and the rest of us along for the ride. Summer fêtes, charity sporting events, motocross rallies: we did them all. If you ever needed a childhood education in the absurdity of human endeavour, this was it. [...]
Many entertainers performing in Las Vegas are aware of a malady known as "Vegas Throat." Due to this city's arid climate, singers with sensitive vocals often have a problem adapting to the low humidity. When seventy-five year old Leonard Cohen took the stage last night at the Caesars Palace Colosseum, I feared the already raspy and baritone-voiced icon was suffering the dreaded affliction. Luckily, it was a false alarm. I know Mr. Cohen has a beautifully rough voice to begin with, but last night however, his initial vocals sounded like a worn-out piece of sixty-grit sandpaper. Thankfully, it soon eased [...]
NOTE: Settle in my friends..... We got a doozy for you today! Photography by Butch Gerald Happy Friday my friends! Friday the 13th to boot -- Ooooo! We are very, very excited and lucky to have a very special presentation for you today, something of a rare bird 'round here on TSURURADIO! That's right, if you read the header, today we are very proud to present our interview with the [...]
As I mentioned previously , Prof. Klein is a bit of a stickler about getting these Numerology pieces right beyond a shadow of a doubt. Instead of chalking early attempts up to the blogging learning curve like the rest of us, he stays awake at night, shaking with regret that low hanging fruit like the number 8 was not given its proper due. So today, as we all hold our breaths waiting to know if we'll ever know how bad the U2-scored Spiderman musical can possibly suck, Dave gives the mark of the arachnids its due, and continues to rewrite [...]

Winning, low-key tribute to the songs of a star's father Country music tributes to one's father seem to be in the air. Tanya Tucker's My Turn provides a gritty set of her father's favorites, and Rosanne Cash's The List cherry-picks a dozen songs from a list of one hundred country essentials given to her by her father in the 1970s. In both cases the artists had to dig deeply within themselves to understand not only what the songs meant to their fathers, [...]
...Meanwhile, in 2027: 5ally runs her forefinger up the embedded metal grid on back of her ear, turning up her music and drowning out the annoying yammering of her parents trying to tell her to pay attention... You're soaking in it! Music is streaming around you right now in the air. Music is, after all, something that we can encode into small pieces and send out riding on any sort of wave (AM, FM, Wi-Fi, Photons, whatever... gravity?) to something that can reconstruct those bits into movement of [...]
Photography by buhoazul Okay. I'm not one to grab albums via promo emails. I always feel a little dirty when I do. I prefer to get my music the old fashioned way, internet pirating. ARRR! But this one had three little words in the email I just couldn't... COULDN'T ingore. No, no, no, not "hot naked chicks", but the following: Montreal! Pop!! Prog!!! [...]
In the Book Notes series, authors create and discuss a music playlist that relates in some way to their recently published book. Finch is the third book in Jeff VanderMeer's Ambergris Cycle, and also the third book in the series to inspire its own soundtrack (by Murder By Death ). With Finch , Jeff VanderMeer has created a richly populated world with speculative fiction imbibed with impressive detective noir storytelling. Paul Tremblay wrote of the book: "Told in a [...]

It's no secret that we're big Brother Ali fans around these parts. I happen to think that he is one of the most impressive voices in the rap game, and his story is exceptionally interesting. Recently we had a chance to catch up with Ali for an interview, check it out! The Stu Reid Experiment: You're on tour right now, aren't you? Brother Ali: Yeah. Just rollin' into LA. About half way through a ten week [...]
A few months ago, my Mom decided to up the ante in the "World's Coolest Mom" rankings by shipping me a box of records from the cache vinyl that's stashed in the closet at the old homestead. If that weren't enough to pull her far and away to the top of the WCM rankings, she committed to sending me a box of records every month for the next year. Like the Columbia Record Club in hundred-weight boxes. This month's shipment came in yesterday and it contained a few genuine nuggets. Stop me if you've heard this [...]
All photos by Brittany Nelson & Christine Campbell I sure hope that any dance-hating Bay Area citizens were far away from Treasure Island last Saturday, because the first day of the festival was a 12-hour ass-shaking, arm-waving, beat-dropping, jump-up-and-down, pump-your-fist-in-the-air-like -you-mean-it kind of day. Our day of music started at the Bridge Stage where LA's Murs threw down awesome, conversational rhymes about his dreads, ("some people got a hundred, I got about nine"), his girlfriend and his desire to hang out with girls he meets at shows. He was [...]

Billie Carlton A young pretty actress called Billie Carlton had a starring role on stage at the huge Victory Ball held at the Albert Hall on 28th November 1918. Tatler had a few months previously described one of her appearances on a London stage, saying that she had: 'cleverness, temperament and charm. Not enough of the first, and perhaps too much of the latter.' While one newspaper described her appearance at the ball: It seemed that every man there wished to dance with her. Her costume was extraordinary and daring [...]

Like Odysseus before me, the first day began early. Really early. We didn't retire to bed until after 1am (Nicci is being caught up on FlashForward ), and I was up an hour before the alarm was scheduled to awaken us. As it turned out, I was at the airport entirely too early. I was the first person seated at the gate. I was there early enough to catch some workers from LAX fix the typo on the departure board, which kept flashing "New Yo$k / Newark" as my flight's intended destination. Subtle. Boarding time was a [...]
