Tim Hardin ( wiki AMG MySpace fansite ) was a rare major-label musician who served in Vietnam. The country of Vietnam, that is; actually, he left the Marines way back in 1961, long before US combat troops were deployed in the country. In 1963 and '64, he recorded some demos for Columbia Records, which they declined to release. After all, bluesy folksingers were a dime a dozen in those days. In 1967, after Hardin had proven himself as a commercial songwriter and artist for another label, Columbia licensed the tracks out, though [...]
Friday, November 20, 2009 We are creeping, quite quickly actually in to the looming holiday season and the studios are sort of coughing up the small game in lieu of the enormous money makers to come. Of course, this is the weekend of Twilight, so perhaps I'm just talking out of my ass, but this feels like the calm before the storm. An animated flick from the creators of Shrek, a slightly chintzy looking sports flick, and of course Bela and Edward - consider me non-plussed. It's the limited films I'm interested in this [...]

Not merely old, or ollld, but ollllld. As in 108 years old. 107 years old. And 100. For a total of 315 years . Together, these sounds are 315 years old. In effect, we'll be hearing recordings from the year 1694. Wow. I knew The Arkansas Traveler was old, but not that old. Now, we've heard Arkansaw (sic) Traveler/Traveller here twice, once from Len Spencer on Victor (1908) and a 1901 Columbia label version performed by (according to Tim Brooks ) Harry Spencer, brother of Len. [...]
Frank Yang In leading up to Friday night's show at Lee's Palace, I'd wondered aloud as to why it had taken The Wooden Sky so long to play a proper hometown show, what with their latest record, the ex If I Don't Come Home You'll Know I'm Gone having come out all the way back in August. Walking into Lee's, I got my answer - they were building their sets. The stage was breathtakingly decorated with all manner of props and sculptures built of paperback [...]

Welcome to the new, not-really-improved BabyStew This Week In Chicago listing. What's new about it, you ask? Absolutely nothing, except that it now covers the week from Monday through Sunday rather than Sunday through Saturday. It always seemed weird to me not to be listing Sunday shows until the morning of – when not many people are reading blogs – for the sole purpose of sticking with the conventional definition of "week" ( i.e. , Sun-Sat). But convention be damned. So here's what's going on in Chicago this "week". [...]

[Fun Fun Fun Fest '09] This is definitely in time Of the three major music festivals that grace this city each year, Fun Fun Fun Fest is certainly the locals' secret. Granted, it's a horribly kept secret, but there's an aspect to Fun Fun Fun that makes it seem so much more manageable. Watching Fun Fun Fun Fest grow and progress each year definitely lets you see just how much this city thrives on music. From it's humble beginnings as a $20 or so catch-all of [...]
About 20 something years ago Edinburgh created a young lad by the name of Chris Elliott aka Nom De Strip. He has emerged to become one of the freshest little Scotsmen around. Some of you may not know him as Chris or Nom De Strip, but surely are familiar with Stupid Fresh, the collaboration he was involved with that has toured the world, been download chart kings and were behind the massive club joint Get The Fuck Up amongst many others. Soon though, very soon, even right now you are to become very familiar [...]
Zu diesem Wochenende möchte ich Euch einer der wohl schrägsten Interpreten vorstellen, die die moderne Musikwelt bislang kennenlernen durfte. Thomas Alan Waits (* 7. Dezember 1949 in Whittier, Kalifornien) ist ein US-amerikanischer Sänger, Komponist, Schauspieler und Autor. Biografie Kindheit und Jugend Nach seinem Biographen Barney Hoskyns wurde Tom Waits in der Stadt Whittier im Los Angeles County geboren, einer Stadt, die auch lange nach seiner Geburt so typisch für das Bild Amerikas der 1950er [...]
Frank Yang The post title, taken from one of the song titles on Superioryouareinferior , kind of says it all. Since discovering Albertan Rae Spoon's 2008 release earlier this year and slipping it onto my Polaris ballot , I've been waiting for an opportunity to see him play live. And while most of the Summer was spent overseas, the Fall brought some local dates including last night's show at the Rivoli. "Noise", however, isn't the first word I'd use to describe Spoon's music. [...]

At the start of the 1990s, a number of psychadelic bands like the Shamen changed to become dance acts. At the end of the 1990s, psychadelic bands brought more rock psychadelia into dance but remained content to straddle the borders. Regular Fries were one. Bit muddy sounding though, as if too many drugs were muddying the music. England's Regular Fries are anything but. The seven members of the Regular Fries collective hail from different walks of life and their multi-faceted approach to music reflects this fact. While they have [...]
Inevitably, a love of coverage leads to a constant, ever-vigilant search for thoughtful, well-crafted reinterpretation. I spend hours each week mining full albums for the hidden cover song, and scanning MySpace and email inbox for the promotional, the one-off acoustic in-studio radio track, and the otherwise unreleased singleton, and the endless discovery is eminently worth the pursuit. But there's no question that tribute albums are the cover lover's bread and butter. I gather these things in like truffles, and hold a special place for them in my heart and in my [...]
All My Friends Few people north of Christchurch will have heard O'Lovely's new EP, that's because Laura Lee Watson hasn't got around to distributing it yet. Working all day in a camera shop, the band's front-woman and founding member has had little time to promote the band's new release, which has been sitting in her room since May. Lost Luck is O'Lovely's second EP, but one can draw few comparisons between it and the band's first self-titled EP, released in [...]

O Projeto Conexões, que botou Tatá Aeroplano para cantar Roberto & Erasmo e Karina Buhr fazendo Rita Lee, entre outros, está de volta. A segunda edição começa nesta quarta-feira (3), com a pernambucana Lulina cantando músicas do baiano Tom Zé.

Na semana que vem, quem se apresenta na Vitrine da Dança da Galeria Olido é a cantora Bárbara Eugênia , que participa do 3 Na Massa e vai cantar Ney Matogrosso. Fecham a [...]
Dylan said he'd know his song well before he'd start singing. Jai Little Diamond (one Mike Taylor) isn't in a hurry to sing any half-learned tune. When his celebrated alt-country band, The Court and Spark, darkened several years ago Diamond and fellow Sparker, Scott Hirsch, wrote some tunes, gathered together a roadworthy band and played some dates as Hiss Golden Messenger . Fast forward to the summer of 2009; Diamond is resettled in rural North Carolina, Hirsch is in NYC and their first album, Country Hai East Cotton (reapandsow), is signed, sealed and delivered. Boasting a lineup [...]
