Gary Clark Jr. es un guitarrista originario de Austin, Texas. Comenzó su carrera como guitarrista en el circuito blues de esa ciudad por ahí de los 15 años y de pronto, a pasos agigantados se ha puesto en la mira del mundo de la música. Le llaman la reencarnación de Hendrix, salvador del soul, quien hará popular el blues dentro la audiencia actual, acostumbrada a la música mainstream prefabricada. Esas afirmaciones son de mucho peso y aceptémoslo, muy aventuradas, pero también hay que reconocer que son justificadas. Clark Jr. se mantuvo consistente como guitarrista [...]

Woody Guthrie's New Year's Resolutions, 1942 After all the champagne is gone and the confetti swept off the floor, we're faced with a brand new year and a second wind of optimism. This year, you'll start running, you'll quit smoking, you'll waste less time, you'll kick television, you'll love more and eat less. Whether you're trying to save up or get your weight down, as long as your resolutions last, here's your soundtrack. Full track list after the jump! Track listing: [...]
Holiday gems from the Cameo-Parkway label archives.
I didn't have anything exciting and new (other than a lame "Love Boat" reference) to write about today, so instead I'd like to play a little game. It's about as simple as a game can be and you may find yourself playing it at home sometime. Just put your music player on random, listen to 3-5 songs, and explain why they're in your library. I call it Shuffle. The general idea is this: we all have vast, ever growing libraries of media. As much as we'd like to go through and get rid of those albums we'll never [...]
Wim Plug, Mark Kneppers and Oscar De Jong are the studio core of Kraak & Smaak. Their 802s inspired disco funk vibrations resemble a hypothetical hybrid between Curtis Mayfield and Jamiroquai. After originally bonding over a slavish devotion to vinyl and a love for classic funk records, this trio went on to record their debut album, 'Boogie Angst'. Picked up in the UK by Radio 1 and in LA by KCRW the band quickly acquired fans, especially in the Los Angeles TV and Film community. This led to their music being used in hospital chick show Greys Anatomy that in [...]

This series is about songs that have formed my tastes and memories of key (and not so-key) moments in my life. Some of the songs are inspirational; some are never to be played again. Mainly for reasons of practicality (the series needs to make way for the traditional favourite albums of 2011 and ones to watch for 2012 posts in December), but also because it's the number of years I've spent on this planet, there will be 42 choices in total. When it's done [...]

I can assume that you might know all of the songs in Friday's Five, but you might not have heard any of them before. This is because today's theme is sampled songs. While in some cases, the original remains the most famous track, in others, it's the newer track that has brought prominence to the sound. In any case, here's the chance to compare the original to the newer version - a battle between the music of your parents' youth and the music of yours! Obviously this is far from conclusive in the world of sampling, [...]
![[Album Review/Listen] – Jay-Z & Kanye West – "Watch The Throne" Track By Track](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3642862_lg.jpg)
Tweet I feel I should preface this review by admitting that I've been a Kanye West fan ever since I heard "Jesus Walks", and while I don't admire Jay-Z 's musical prowess quite as much as that of his protege, I have mad respect for him as a rap legend. Both of them brought their A-game to the table this time around, making "Watch The Throne" absolute fire . That's hip-hop for "really good stuff". Hova and Yeezy are the sole proprietors of feel-good gangster [...]

So obvious there doesn't seem any point in spinning it. So funky there is no way not to. Curtis Mayfield, "Superfly" - from Superfly-The Original Motion Picture Soundtrack Here's what Rolling Stone had to say about the soundtrack on its release: Superfly is not only a superior, imaginative soundtrack, but fine funky music as well and the best of Curtis Mayfield's four [...]
A few weeks ago I was pointed to a website by a friend who shares my love for the band Fugazi -- shoutout to Gushy V for the tip. I clicked the link and was suddenly very excited. It turns out a couple guys thought it would be a good idea to mash Fugazi with the Wu-Tang Clan. It was one of those "why didn't I think of that" moments, except that I don't do mash-ups and probably don't know Wu-Tang as well as I should. Beyond that I totally should have come up with the idea first. [...]
Tabloid City , a new book by legendary New York writer Pete Hamill, has triggered my latest foray into the dim recesses of childhood memory. During a passage in which he's describing the sound made by an oldster who is softly snoring, he compares it to what you hear when you blow into an empty Chiclets box. I was instantly transported to my childhood because one of my favorite things as a kid was to 'toot' on a Chiclets box. In fact, I liked the tooting more than the gum itself, but you had to chew up [...]
The second SAVED! compilation gets righteous on your asses with a churchful of glorious '70s soul – and it does so without going for the easy option of all those Stevie Wonder songs about God being a zillion lightyears away with whom you should have a talk (and did George Michael realise that he was singing a song of praise to God when he had a hit with Mary J Blige?). While neither Stevie, Aretha nor Marvin feature here, Al Green does, though with a song that precedes his lesser Reverend Green phase. And, of course, Curtis Mayfield [...]
