I've got to say I blame Thurston Moore and his Sonic Youth for making me think about instruments as a paint brush versus notes. Can't say I ever dared to invent or play weird guitar tunings, except for the occasional drop "D" but I often enjoy working with a simple palette. Even a single not solo works for me. Anyway here's a few tunes by the 99th best guitarists ever as noted by Rolling Stone and a zillion other guitar heads. I put him up and Lee Renaldo in the top 10 innovators of the instrument. [...]
Steve Shelley, que vai fazer 50 anos no próximo mês de junho, não pára. O pendurar de botas dos Sonic Youth dar-lhe-á ainda mais tempo para se dedicar a outros projetos, seguramente, mas o lugar que, desde 1985, ocupava atrás da bateria do grupo nova-iorquino (ou que ainda ocupa, se quisermos ser otimistas), não o impediu, nos tempos mais recentes, de ser, por exemplo, patrão da Smells Like
Lee Ranaldo - "Off The Wall"
On March 20th, Matador Records will release Between the Tides and the Times , Lee Ranaldo 's first song-based solo album, featuring a roster of guests that include Nels Cline, John Medeski, Alan Licht and Steve Shelley. Over the next few months, the label will issue several videos to support the release, starting with the previously-heard single "Off the Wall". Behind chugging-yet-melodic distortion, the Sonic Youth co-founder sings about "uncertain days" and being "half a man trying to get home." It's a heart-warming, soul-on-its-sleeve charmer that could fit a number of montage sequences from half a dozen '90s indie [...]
The LEE RANALDO of the SONIC YOUTH has dipped into some solo material, released an upbeat but sombre guitar catchy mp3, OFF THE WALL , and her video is made up of live footage spliced in with visual the he-guitarist has self-captured.
En un post anterior les mostrábamos "Off the wall", primera muestra del próximo disco solista de Lee Ranaldo, guitarra de Sonic Youth, que sale a la venta oficialmente el 20 de marzo por medio del sello Matador. Esta vez Ranaldo presenta el video del tema, basado en varias imágenes grabadas durante un concierto que el guitarrista ofreció en Brooklyn, registradas por el realizador Patrick Suddath/Pantophobia. De esta manera el experimentado músico comienza a dar forma a su debut discográfico en solitario, titulado Between the times and tide s. Mira el video de "Off [...]

"I was looking out the window and a witch flew by, whipping her broom and she said you're gonna die..." Just got the sad news that influential modern artist Mike Kelley has passed away. He was 57, and was found dead at home yesterday, an apparent suicide caused by depression. Music fans will mainly know Kelley through his artwork for Sonic Youth's fine Dirty album, but he was also a founding member of Detroit cult artpunkband Destroy All Monsters. For further reading: a full obit from the LA Times . Destroy All [...]

OK, I am in class right now.; but we've been debating what criteria determine which social customs are going to be legally protected in court and I've already stated and defended my point. Now my classmates are arguing what the civil war was about. Duh, state rights. So most of you know I either download music or buy it from dollar bins at Reckless and Half Price Books. My favorite in the first category is the new Cloud Nothings album, produced by Steve Albini and one of the best albums I've [...]

Ourselves, along with Hit City U.S.A., couldn't be more excited for our show this Saturday at The Satellite featuring some of our favorite bands, PAPA , Cillie Barnes, and Lesands. Like any girl that's worth "rounding the bases for", it's always better to get to know them before you reach home plate. Of course these bands are all amazing, but falling in love is all about the details. So take some time and get to know each of these acts on a more intimate level. Here are 5 things you NEED to know about 3 bands you [...]
I bought this on CD back in 1995 after seeing a live performance of Mike Watt featuring Eddie Vedder and Dave Grohl performing "Big Train" on John Stewart's late night show . Remember that show? Ball-Hog Or Tugboat? is anything but consistent as its detractors will undoubtedly raise as it's main flaw. Yes, it's Mike Watt showcasing his incredible cast of musical friends. But, you can't argue with songs like Piss-Bottle Man (featuring vocals by Evan Dando), Chinese Firedrill (featuring vocals by Frank Black), [...]
El 2012 recién comienza y las buenas noticias también. Una de ellas es la octava edición de el pequeño gran festival, Indie-O Fest . Festival que desde el 2005 reúne a lo mejor de la música independiente, y queda muy claro que este año no es la excepción.
