Brian Lindgren, insomniac, Star Trek fan and sample connoisseur, has a knack for creating savory beats and we were fortunate enough to sit down with the brains behind the outfit, Mux Mool . Residing in Brooklyn with a collection of records, loops and keyboards, Mux Mool is set to release his newest full-length Planet High School on February 7 th with Ghostly International. From talk on the LP's foundation to New Year's resolutions, Lindgren spoke his mind as he racked up a Hamilton on the penny slots before his performance at SnowGlobe 2011. This is what [...]
Les Brown & his Orchestra feat. Doris Day : The Christmas Song [ purchase ] John Edwards : The Christmas Song Out of print Smokey Robinson & The Temptations : The Christmas Song [ purchase ] The Christmas Song might be the best of all Christmas songs in the pop canon.

Last year we had two compilations of classic Christmas soul (plus one featuring newer stuff); here is a third volume. It kicks off with a spoken intro by The Jackson 5 . Jermaine is crying – and the manner in which that is established always makes my smile – and he needs yuletide comforting. Wonderful stuff. Towards the middle we get socially conscious. Stevie Wonder , still just 17 years old, hopes for no hunger and no tears, but for peace and equality of man. Then the Harlem Children's Choir , who sound rather older [...]
Aujourd'hui, nous allons nous adresser aux orphelins d'Amy Winehouse. A ceux qui regrettent son talent, ou simplement à ceux qui trouvent que les pages people sont devenues beaucoup moins drôles depuis qu'il n'y a plus de nouvelles vidéos d'elle complètement démontée. Pour ceux-ci, il y a bien encore Pete Doherty , mais il semblait depuis quelques temps qu'il avait décider de se calmer. Heureusement, ce mois-ci, l'ami Pete a déclaré avoir vu le fantôme d'Amy Winehouse à quatre reprises dans son appartement, qu'il a du coup décidé de fuir. Il est parti précipitamment pour Paris [...]

Phil writes: Singing a great song,:
Christina Aguilera strikes a chord with critics following her less than impressive ensemble at the Michael Forever tribute concert on Saturday at The Millennium Stadium in Cardiff, Wales, U.K. So I thought Xtina was a thing of the past? Looks as though girlfriend is not in tune with her wardrobe. What was she thinking? Even though her performance of Michael Jackson's Smile was a hit, I am not smiling. Her outfit was a bit on the dirty side, [...]

Filed under: News Michael Ochs Archives Motown guitarist and songwriter Marv Tarplin, died last Friday (Sept. 30) at his Las Vegas home from unknown causes, the New York Times reports. He was 70. Tarplin was best known as the guitarist for Smokey Robinson and the Miracles , and was often referred to by the band as their "the secret weapon." Tarplin co-wrote several of the Miracles' hits including 'The Tracks of My Tears,' [...]
Marv Tarplin, one of Smokey Robinson's Miracles, has died . Besides his guitar work on the records, Tarplin was a writer, collaborating with Robinson on this: Tarplin had joined Motown at the end of the 1950s, originally as a backing guitarist for The Primettes (The Supremes as they would become later). Robinson spotted his talent, and grabbed him for the Miracles. When Smokey went solo, Tarplin originally planned to stay with The Miracles, but within a year was back besides Robinson. He would stick with him until his 2008 retirement. [...]
The headline death this past month was that at 75 of Sylvia Robinson, who featured on this blog before with her 1973 hit "Pillow Talk", a song taught Donna Summer all she needed to know about pleasured moaning to a disco beat. But Robinson was much more important than that. As the founder of Sugar Hill Records, she produced and released the first ever rap hit ("Rappers' Delight"). Robinson's label also released what I still regard as the greatest rap record of all time, Grandmaster Flash's monumental "The Message". Also notable is the death a day later of [...]
Here she comes -- again. At least once a year, without fail, for a week or two, sometimes three, Dusty Springfield re-enters heavy rotation on my iPod. And as of this morning, she's back on repeat. Despite my annual Dusty revival, my Dusty devotion is nowhere near as over-the-top as it was when I lived in New York City and my friend Declan and I would spend hours in East Village bars singing her greatest hits as boy-on-boy duets. He thought it was a shame that she never got around to covering "The Tracks [...]
Watch as Thao & The Get Down Stay Down sing a very sultry version of Smokey Robinson classic, "You Really Got A Hold On Me" at last weekend's Pickathon 2011 just outside of Portland, Oregon. See also Bill Callahan performing on the Mountain Stage at this year's event.
I'm loving this new song from Richard Swift . It's soulful in a Smokey Robinson or Side 2 or 3 of Todd Rundgren's Something/Anything kind of way. Download "Broken Finger Blues" below.
[RSS Readers: See post to listen to audio] What a trip this remix is from Shlohmo of Burial , its soo delicate and dark, its like he tippy toed around being completely careful of the original like a art handler at Christie's . Max Tundra and Mux Mool give us another reason to play out two of the most crowd pleasing hits from the 20th Century. Caribou goes minimalist on his Radiohead remix, sound like he's been listening to [...]
