Les émeutes de l’été 1964 à Harlem , NYC, auront peut-être mis du temps à s’extraire des esprits, au moins auront-elles permis au collectif Har-You de voir le jour . Car la naissance de cet ensemble de musique afro-cubaine est à l’origine une initiative sociale de quartier. 110 millions de dollars lâchés par le gouvernement de Lyndon B. Johnson, des intervenants à la conscience éclairée, et voilà que l’association Harlem Youth Opportunities Unlimited devient un laboratoire de musicologie aux retombées inespérées. Les mentors ? Rien de moins que Julien Euell [...]

This is awesome. Canadian groups Hands & Teeth and The Balconies joined together for a live recording of Justin Bieber's mega-hit "Baby". The outcome has transformed Bieber's dance hip-hop track into a sixties revival bubblegum pop gem.

This week's cooking priority is to get rid of the olive salad in my refrigerator. For the past two weeks, every time I open the door of the fridge my eye catches the big green bowl that houses that salty king of condiments. It is just your typical pyrex bowl, yet it has taken on an ominous appearance like grandma's outdated holiday china. I dread coming face to face with what sits in that bowl. Now don't get me wrong, it has nothing to do with the taste (as the salad is quite good). It has to do with the [...]
There's something incredibly special about this track that I've been having a hard time putting my finger on. Hailing from Dallas, TX, The Vliets (pronounced “vleets”) bring to the table a hauntingly nostalgic tune, fronted by the vocals of Ty Bohrnstedt (which may I add could be slightly comparable to silk) and backed by an [...]

Not too long ago, I feature Dominique Pruitt's To Win Your Love. Pumpkin Latté season is officially here, but the visuals of Dominque's new video scream summer fun. The video is essentially a showcase of her quirky, bubbly personality. Really though, what more can you ask for? Who wants a wallflower of a pop star? Dominique is making herself known, and the To Win Your Love video is the perfect introduction. I'll copy and paste my original write up on To Win Your Love, below just because I get a kick out of my own writing. [...]

Après plus de deux années de pause, le Tour du Monde des Garages et des Ménestrels reprend sa route.

Mille remerciements au Docteur Nikki Mod , éminent africaniste qui a une fois de plus apporté sa contribution à la rédaction de l'article. [...]

There can be a lot of unfair expectations for any band that hails from the iconic fairytale music scene of Liverpool. Its difficult to shake the constant “these guys better be as damn good as the Beatles” conjecture. However, I think its fair to say that Liverpudlian solo-act, Jethro Fox, deserves to be judged a [...]

Dutch rock band Shocking Blue is probably better remembered in America for their big 1969 hit "Venus," because Americans are often all about one song with great bands. It became particularly big after English pop group Bananarama covered the track, a cover which happened to accompany a Gillette Venus razor commercial (clever). And if you happened to own a Korg keyboard in the early '90s like me, then you probably remember it serving as the demo song that played when you pressed a little yellow button -- granted it was more of a midi file. I'm [...]

*Disclaimer 1 I wrote this on Saturday, telling myself I'd finish it later and went out to enjoy the weather. It's now Tuesday and the storm clouds are gathering. Y'know, I make a point of digging deep to turn up the rarest of the rare when sometimes it's the obvious ones that are the best. With the school holidays nearly over, the weather has (naturally) taken a turn for the better and we're currently basking in what the tabloids of yore might refer to as a heatwave. Phew, what a scorcher and all that. [...]

Multi-instrumental, multi-talented, and multi-banded musician Chris Cohen has got the expereience to back up his raw talent; he is a former member of Deerhoof , The Curtains and Natural Dreamers . Experience gained from going on tours, playing a ton of instruments, and truly living life as a working-mans musician. "Optimist High," the latest listen from his upcoming first album Overgrown Path , is a fantastic example of where good experience can lead you. There's a laid-back, 602s psychadelia vibe going on in "Optimist High." It's a song that is clearly [...]
