Ray Davies Appears at the Orpheum on Saturday Night I didn't get up to as much as I'd hoped last week, but did catch Julian Casablancas and the Happy Hollows at Spaceland. Casablancas didn't do anything to win me back, but most of the crowd seemed really into it. I'll definitely be at Ray Davies this Saturday and I'll most likely check out more of the Happy Hollows tonight. Monday 11/9/09 [Pick of the Night] [...]

Nellie McKay : Zombie [ purchase ] This is obviously a completely different song from our last Zombie. Nellie McKay starts us off with a walking (dead) bass line, and continues in a jazzy mood. She eloquently explains why it's not always a good idea to go for a stroll in a Southern swamp.
Morningwood estuvo con Jimmy Kimmel y tocó el tema "Best Of Me". Julian Casablancas está de estreno y tocó algunas canciones de su primer disco solista en lo de Conan O'Brian. Moby y Nellie McKay hicieron un cover de Neil Young. Comparte esta anotación

When I was 14 I spent most of my time in my room listening to Tool, wondering why girls didnt' like me, and writing Chuck Palahniuk rip-off short stories about young men who learned the meaning of life from rabbits. That being said, whenever I hear about someone in their teens who's doing something interesting and productive, I am filled with venom and disdain. For instance, 14-year-old Eliza Callahan is the lead singer of Almost Allison, a band that was formed for a school project (middle, high?). She's got a sort of more-upbeat Nellie McKay thing going on, and even [...]
I honestly never dreamed that his little bit of cyberspace would ever cross paths with Doris Day...and as usual, I was wrong. Turns out the new Nellie McKay album is a Doris Day covers record. Normally, I woulnd't even give any Doris Day themed material a second look, but I am such a big fan of Ms. Mckay and her playful, witty piano songs that I thought I better give it a listen. And while it's not really the sort of thing I am going to listen to all the time, it is quirky and kind of cool in a [...]

Hey, if you've been watching the RSS feed, you know I just did some serious housekeeping with the Drake's Takes , and now, for a brief moment, I'm back up to date (we'll see how long that lasts). This week, Drake spotlights the new one from The Flaming Lips , but if you've been reading bumpershine closely over the last couple of months, you know that last week I was most excited about the US Release of Fanfarlo 's brilliant debut "Reservoir". -ed. We're rapidly approaching the point of no return for releases [...]

Publishers Weekly has news of a soon to be published graphic novel penned by Michael Jackson. One book generating lots of conversation is a graphic novel project by the King of Pop. Yes, you read that correctly. Apparently Michael Jackson was working on a comic book for years with friend (and son of Deepak) Gotham Chopra and now Random House's Villard imprint is prepping to release the fruits of this seemingly unlikely collaboration. The book, Fated, is about a Jackson-esque pop icon named Gabriel Star whose fame has left him isolated and emotionally cut-off. [...]
