Music Thread

[waggy]

We (I) need something different than what's been the current discussion on the board. I like to hear others music, sample it, and maybe save it if I like it. If you post it, I will listen to it, or at least some of it.

I'm probably going to bore you to death with old soft shit, so hopefully some of you that are into newer stuff will join in. Or some people are into classical. If that's your thing, post it up, whatever.

A few rules in an ideal world:

1. Post your vid rather than link it. It's really really easy to do - please learn how.
2. If quoting someone, please try to quote their words and not their video.
3. One video per post. The new software may already control this, but this reduces the amount of data on page loads.
4. One post per day.

I'll start it with something for our esteemed member Lamont Sanford.

I'm in the thrall of a fairly good earworm this summer: Robin Thicke's Blurred Lines. Usually the 'song of the summer' is pretty bad but this one harkens back to Marvin Gaye's Got to Give it Up. And for those fans of NSFW, dig up the uncensored video.

[Muskie]

I just picked up Robert Randolph and the Family Band's Lickety Split. A much better effort than their previous couple of albums. They've opened for Dave Matthews a few times and I really the new album so far.

Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes x1000. Love them. The best shows I have seen over the last year are their shows.

Hell, you could list every "punk" Nashville band as good music.

Oh definitely. It has become a staple of all their shows and is arguably their best song. If you have the time you should watch more clips from the Freakin Weekend IV show.

Kryptonite produced a few hit singles, but the entire album is really good top to bottom. I don't think there are any songs that could really be considered a dog. I really like the final track Shinbone Alley/Hard to Exist, but that is a 12+ min song, so instead here's Forty or Fifty:

I saw ZZ Top at Riverfront in 1983 for what was the Eliminator tour. Hagar was the opening act. Can't say I recall much of his performance, but at the changeover we were able to get on floor and make it to the stage.. deadcenter.. hahahaha!!!!

The set was:

1."Got Me Under Pressure"
2."I Got the Six"
3."Waitin' for the Bus"
4."Francine"
5."Sharp Dressed Man"
6."Ten Foot Pole"
7."TV Dinners"
8."Manic Mechanic"
9."A Fool for Your Stockings"
10."Dust My Broom"
11."Pearl Necklace"
12."Cheap Sunglasses"
13."Beer Drinkers and Hell Raisers"
14."Just Got Paid"
15."Arrested for Driving While Blind"
16."Party on the Patio"
17."Tube Snake Boogie"
18."Jailhouse Rock"
19."La Grange"
20."Tush"

Awesome.

This was prior to what I think is my favorite ZZ Top song though:

Saw these guys (Twenty One Pilots) at Bunbury last weekend. They were my favorite performance along with A Silent Film. Their album "Vessel" came out back in January. I actually downloaded it from Amazon for $3 a month later, listened to it, and didn't think it was all bad but didn't listen to it a second time until last week. When I saw them live at Bunbury, I was blown away. They were awesome. I listened to that album all week last week. Different kind of sound though. They're like Fun but with rap mixed in. Lots of drums, piano, and keyboard/synth. At Bunbury during the song "Car Radio" the lead singer climbed one of the stage towers and did part of the song from up there. Anyway check them out if you haven't heard them. They're from up the road in Columbus.

If you like bluegrass music, check out a band from my neighborhood - The Tillers! They've been touring all over the east coast and midwest this summer and they're really talented. On top of that, they're just really nice, salt of the earth people. I'm really happy that they're experiencing the kind of success they're having! I never thought I'd be into bluegrass and folk, but the older I get, the more I'm enjoying it. The song below is off their newest album.


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XmHol7VbePk

[waggy]

This CD was given to me quite awhile ago and I just recently got around to listening to it. It's the only Dream Theatre I have so not familiar with their other stuff but this is very good. It's called Metropolis Pt. 2, Scenes from a Memory, and it's a sort of a rock opera where each song is a "scene" and they typically blend one to the next. Similar to a Pink Floyd album in that regard.

So I come across this tune and its got a helluva groove to it, so I save it and listen to it in my regular rotation. Then I start wondering what are these lyrics saying?...


You can get by if you try
You can get by if you try

Somewhere in the city
There's someone for you
Maybe in some doorway
You know love begins there too

I know it's a pity
To be so all alone
The bed seems so empty
And not a ring from the phone

You can get by if you try
You can get by if you try
You may not be pretty

Oh but you can be, you know
Take off those shabby clothes, girl
And let your beauty show
Make yourself a lovely woman
And get yourself a man
Then you will be happy
You can do it, yes you can, hey hey

You can get by if you try
You can get by if you try
You can get by if you try
You can get by if you try


Now those are some pretty hilarious lyrics, but I still gotta listen cause the groove is too good.

Frenic is UK dj Sam Fergusson. From the bio on his website:



In the late 90s Frenic was attracted to the growing Drum n Bass scene and before long he and DJ Dis started playing a DnB raves djing for the famous “One Nation” young dj agency. The pair made it all the way to the Movement Vestax DJ comp finishing, as runners up to the now well known JFB. Frenic also moved to Bristol in search of broadening his musical horizons and meet more like minded people.

Now 16 years on, he has forged a reputation as one of the best party DJs to come out of the U.K, often a regular on the UK festival circuit, and well as his famous annual sets at the F1 Grand Prix and Moto G.P.

His Sets are defined by a deep a eclectic selection of beats, breaks and bass, uniquely blended and fused utilising his turntableist skills he acquired through years of Djing within the UK Hip Hop scene.


I orginally went to his website because I thought I heard this before, but didn't know who the artist was. He has other uploads on a youtube page.

Willie Nelson's Stardust album is a collection of pop standards that was well accepted critically. Might be his best selling album ever but I don't know that to be true.

The songs are pretty easy listening to begin with, and then add Willie's laid back approach and it adds up to great chill out music.

The Bottle is a song from the album Winter in America by Gil Scott-Heron, who also wrote The Revolution Will Not Be Televised. Most of Scott-Herons work, including The Bottle about alchohol abuse, etc., had a social commentary, especially inner-city issues. He is also considered one of the fathers of rap.


According to wiki, the song has been sampled about a half dozen times for its beat, but only covered once, which is this instrumental by Joe Bataan.


Joe Bataan was (is) a latin soul musician from New York who did a little time for gang involvement back in the day. He also has a daughter model you may have heard of, Asia Nitollano who's a model associated with the Pussycat Dolls? Anyway.. even if it's old, this song rips..

A couple of good books on the LA scene include Laurel Canyon by Michael Walker and Waiting for the Sun by Barney Hoskyns.

The Stills tune points to a terrific album. The LP's mega-FM-classic-hit should not overshadow what Stills did on his solo debut.

Old? New? It's all good. I'm trying to post stuff that a lot of people missed at the time.

Tower of Power is a San Francisco bay area soul/funk band formed in the early '70's. They've never had any huge hits, and never went mainstream, but they have a very solid catalog of their own compilations, and they've backed and opened for many more well known acts. One of the best bands "no ones ever heard of".


The foundation of the band is a 5 piece horn section - including both tenor and baritone saxophones producing some unique stuff. They've had a lot of lead singers. In fact, it was announced recently that the current lead singer who has been with them much longer than any previous one, is leaving at the end of the year. So they'll be looking for another, and if you search youtube for their work you'll find that they've had a lot of different leads.


If you like this also look for Soul Vaccination - the long version. That song in particular highlights the baritone sax.

Yep. They were kind of overshadowded by Chicago and Blood Sweat and Tears. The "progressive rock" stations like WEBN and WMMS would play a Chicago song and then a BS&T tune and didn't want to overload the playlist on brass.

Similar to the band Cold Blood. They've been around since 1968. There's no video of their old shows, but here's a vid of them at a benefit concert about 5 years ago. Funky...and great. Lydia Pense can still rock it.

A lot of people think Bruce Springsteen was responsible for the "Jersey sound" that came out in the 70's, but his lead guitarist, Little Steven, and Southside Johnny, were right there in the beginning. Though neither of those two found the success Springsteen did, I would argue that Little Steven's "Men Without Women" album captured the Jersey sound better than the boss ever did. The best song off that album is likely "Forever," but for my money it's probably the most underrated album I've ever heard.

This video, though, may be the worst I've ever seen. Couldn't find the original, though, so this will have to do. Just listen, don't watch.

On top of that, they're just really nice, salt of the earth people. I'm really happy that they're experiencing the kind of success they're having! I never thought I'd be into bluegrass and folk, but the older I get, the more I'm enjoying it. The song below is off their newest album.


From what I understand the bull fiddle player has had some serious health issues and may or may not be with the band.


This song about route 50, which I think is about hwy 50 (river road), is kinda ironic to me. When I moved to N. CA from Cincy, just by chance I moved right next to it, and it was the main part of my daily commute. A river runs thru it deja vu.


I don't know the lyrics yet, just came across it today, but I like this song.

A lot of people think Bruce Springsteen was responsible for the "Jersey sound" that came out in the 70's, but his lead guitarist, Little Steven, and Southside Johnny, were right there in the beginning. Though neither of those two found the success Springsteen did, I would argue that Little Steven's "Men Without Women" album captured the Jersey sound better than the boss ever did. The best song off that album is likely "Forever," but for my money it's probably the most underrated album I've ever heard.


Southside Johnny is a Cleveland favorite. The song below may be their best: Better Days.

Anybody who has read any of my music rants knows that I am a huge Neil Young fan for many reasons, but not the least of which is that he is unafraid to push the genre envelope whether the record company likes it or not. Fortunately, other than an ill conceived 3 record marriage with David Geffen, Young has been on Reprise for almost all of his career.

Below is a video from his album Le Noise which was Neil alone with his guitar- some electric and some unplugged. There are many great songs, including the haunting "Hitchhiker" where Neil goes through his entire life as related to drugs. (He's fully clean now). The song below is superb in it's raw, real state. the videos were filmed live with Neil just playing and singing.

The songs from Le Noise were also featured in the Live performance movie "Neil Young Journeys" where Neil performs live in Toronto and visits his boyhood homes in northern Ontario. It's a captivating flick.

MOR you certainly know your music so this one's for you. A Cleveland favorite, Joe Walsh, when he was on Live From Daryl's House. If you haven't seen this program, I'd recommend it. I know Hall & Oates are scoffed at by "true music fans" but I've always had a soft spot for their music due to its roots in Philly soul. Anyway, the show is on Palladia and it's basically Daryl Hall and a guest musician (ranging from Smokey Robinson to Todd Rundgren to Cee Lo) playing their songs.

Some exerpts from Wiki on one of my personal favorites, Cincinnati areas own..



Roger Troutman (November 29, 1951 – April 25, 1999) was an American singer, songwriter, producer and the lead vocalist of the band who helped spearhead the movement and heavily influenced west coast hip hop due to the scene's heavy sampling of his music over the years. Born in Hamilton, Ohio, Roger was the fourth of ten children. He was a late-arriving member of Parliament-Funkadelic and played on the band's final Warner Brothers' album The Electric Spanking of War Babies. The first band Roger was in was THE CRUSADERS. The band played in Cincinnati and recorded a 45 record Busted Surfboard and Seminole.

Troutman was well known for his use of the talk box, a device that is connected to an instrument (frequently a keyboard) to create different vocal effects. Roger used a custom-made talkbox—the Electro Harmonix "Golden Throat," as well as a Yamaha DX100 FM synthesizer. As both lead singer of Zapp and in his subsequent solo releases, he scored a bevy of funk and R&B hits throughout the 1980s. In his later years, he was mostly known for singing the chorus to the hip-hop classic by Tupac Shakur "California Love" and the Vice City Soundtrack "More Bounce to the Ounce".

Death:

On the morning of April 25, 1999, Roger Troutman was found shot and critically wounded outside his northwest Dayton recording studio around 7 a.m. According to doctors, the 47-year-old had been shot several times in the torso and was in critical condition; he died during surgery at the local hospital, Good Samaritan Hospital and Health Center. Roger's brother Larry was found dead in a car a few blocks away with a single gunshot wound to the head. A pistol was found inside the vehicle, which matched the description of a car leaving the scene of Roger Troutman's shooting according to witnesses. The gun found with Larry Troutman also matched the one that fired the fatal shots into Roger, suggesting that Larry had shot Roger and then taken his own life. With both men dead, and with no known witnesses, the specific motive for the attack remains unknown. Friends and family could only speculate that the source of a dispute was a rising tension between the brothers over issues such as Larry's financial troubles and Roger's desire to dissolve their business partnership.


I was never much of a fan of George Clinton/Parliment, or Bootsy Collins, other well known funk musicians work, but Roger's music is different somehow, and there's a decent chance you've heard Roger and not known who it was. IMO his work is equal to that of Charlie Wilson/Gap Band as the best of old school dance hip hop.


A lot of different stuff I could post, starting with More Bounce to the Ounce, Doo Wa Ditty (Blow That Thing), Dance Floor, etc. So look those up if you like this which is a little off the beaten path, So Ruff, So Tuff.

I caught the one with Rundgren, it was very good.


A couple months ago I saw a show on PBS I think about Daryl's actual house. Don't recall the particulars, but it's really really old.

[Masterofreality]

Yep. Thanks Chico. "Daryl's House" is a fine show.

Speaking of "Daryl's". Last night at the Beachland Ballroom here in Cleveburg, I was at a great show with Daryl Stuermer, who was the lead guitarist/co-songwriter for Phil Collins after he went solo and also the lead guitarist for Genesis after Peter Gabriel left. Daryl is married to our cousin and is a solid, no-ego mid-western Milwaukee guy. Daryl and his band put on a superb performance with virtuoso guitar playing. They have a gig in Chicago tonight. if he and his band come to your town, go see 'em! His latest CD with his own band is called "Go" and is well worth your time and money.

Here is an instrumental version of "Land of Confusion"

[waggy]

The greatest dixieland jazz clarinetist ever? Well the list probably isn't very long, but the top man is definitely Pete Fountain. He had his own club in New Orleans at a couple different locations including the French Quarter, before selling and semi retiring in 2003. He's 83 today and last performed in 2010. Many hollywood stars visited and performed at his clubs, and he also had a popular group that performed annually on a Mardi Gras float.


I wish I could say I saw him live, but the closest I got was the Austin City Limits show on PBS in the early '80's.


Sadly, youtube doesn't have a wealth of Pete's stuff. Shine was a frequent opening number. And as you'll hear, his accompanyists are pretty good too.

Sorry for my indulgence, but I have to post another one from Neil Young's Le Noise. This one is "Love and War".

[Masterofreality]

Couple of nice posts MOR.


Maybe too long to get into, but how does a guy from Milwaukee end up working with Genesis?

I'll try to give a concise answer.

Daryl never really moved permanently from Milwaukee, but was in LA in 1975 and auditioned for Jean Luc Ponty, who had been taken under the wing of Frank Zappa and had just signed a new record deal with Atlantic Records. Ponty was forming a band, needed a guitarist and Daryl won the job. He made 4 albums with Ponty and 3 years later, when Steve Hackett left Genesis, Phil Collins had knowledge of his work with Ponty and asked him to come in for a "sit-in" rehearsal. The song that he was asked to play with the band was "Squonk" from "A Trick of the Tail" LP. Daryl nailed it and was hired on the spot in 1978.

The rest is history. Basically just an example of a guy getting a shot and taking advantage of the opportunity.

[waggy]

His instrumental of Land of Confusion was great. As you'd expect.

I don't know who has them now, probably one of my Louisville cousins, but somewhere are some very old blues LP's from the 1930's that my Grandma & Grandpa had. These were 16 speed LP's and as thick as my cellphone is now. I need to get my hands on a couple of those.

So something on the new(er) end. If you watch MTV you might hear this, or maybe in the mall.




Although formed in sunny California during the early 2000s, Shiny Toy Guns' music flaunts a sleek, '80s-influenced combination of synth-pop and electro-clash. Founded in 2001 by bassist/keyboardist Jeremy Dawson and guitarist/vocalist Gregori Chad Petree -- both natives of central Oklahoma -- the band's lineup was fully realized with the addition of vocalist Carah Faye Charnow (who was brought aboard in 2004 to replace the departing Ursula Vari) and drummer Mikey Martin. After building a local following in California, Shiny Toy Guns made its debut in early 2005 with We Are Pilots; the album was then re-recorded and reissued later that year, albeit with a slightly different track list. Extensive touring and networking on various Internet websites continued to broaden the Guns' audience, and the group signed a contract to Universal Records in June 2006. That year also saw the third (and final) release of We Are Pilots, this time issued with the help of a major label. The album fared well commercially and critically, eventually earning a Grammy Award nomination for "Best Electronic/Dance Album" in early 2008. Carah Faye Charnow left the lineup later that year, claiming that the group's male members had booted her out, while veteran vocalist Sisely Treasure (a former member of Cooler Kids, as well as a finalist on the first season of the Pussycat Dolls' reality show) was enlisted to replace her. In November 2008, with the new lineup intact, Shiny Toy Guns released its second album, Season of Poison. A remix album that featured reworked versions by Boys Noize and Gabriel & Dresden titled Girls Le Disko: The Remixes was released as a stopgap between studio albums in 2010. Soon after, it was announced that second vocalist Sisely Treasure was leaving to pursue solo endeavors, and the group reverted back to their original lineup with Carah Faye Charnow for 2012’s III, Shiny Toy Guns' most mainstream sounding album to date.

I remember hearing "You Are the One" years ago on The Sound and became a fan of them pretty quickly. I have all of their albums. Had tickets to see them back in 2008 when they were playing at The Madison along with The Ting Tings and SafetySuit but had to sell them. Had grad school exams to study for. Carah Faye is one of the few heavily tattooed girls out there that I still find very attractive.

I remember that one. I can't say I listened to it much though. I think by the time I started listening to more of the music they would play on WOXY, they had been taken off the radio dial. The Sound did for me what WOXY did for you. Was introduced to all kinds of new bands I hadn't heard before. It irritated me to no end how they kept moving the channel around the dial in favor of a country station. Eventually they were moved to only HD radio then to nothing. That was my favorite station. Now I honestly don't listen to music on the radio anymore. I just hook up my iPod.

How The Beautiful South didn't make it in the states is beyond me. Paul Heaton and Dave Hemingway started the band after founding The Housemartins. The Housemartins were a very good band in their own right, but The Beautiful South was so much better. If you haven't heard of them, go to itunes and listen to Carry On Up the Charts, which is their greatest hits album and was Number 1 in Britian. Hard to pick a favorite, but this one is one of their best.

I'm a little conflicted about this young lady Joss Stone. I was super impressed with her cover of Son of a Preacher Man. She basically puts legends to shame. On the other hand, I can't get away from the feeling that her ability is learned to a very high technical level, much like that of Diana Krall with Jazz, but you wonder about the true soul behind the performance. Nothing is missing from either from a technical point, but yet something is. They are almost too perfect.


Then I learned she covered Stoned Out Of My Mind.

A person needs to know their limitations. I don't know I think Clint Eastwood said that. And he was right. You shouldn't reach for covers above your head. Get your own material.


The following is a rare track. I haven't been able to find it in the extended version on any vinyl from either the Chi-lites or Lionel Hampton. Both put Stoned Out of My Mind on records, but none have the long cut. I have no idea where he got this. Maybe he made it himself, though it doesn't sound like it. I thought about asking him for it if he dies.


This is Stoned Our of My Mind, and only fools try to cover it:

My dad was a fan of the man Frank Sinatra called the 2nd best singer in America, George Jones. Many many artists revered the guy for his singing abilities, and credit him with being influencial in their development.


George could certainly croon, but I think a lot of his appeal, as is common with country music, is he sang about everyday stuff and lived a crazy ass life. If you've been married, then you know what George means (whether you've actually done is immaterial) when he sings..

A performer that had an extensive connection with Cincinnati that many might not be aware of is James Brown. Brown was contracted to King Records which was on Brewster Ave, only a couple hundred yards from the Xavier campus. The building still stands and has a historical marker put in place by the rock n roll HoF, but efforts to obtain the property so that it doesn't get redeveloped haven't been successful I don't believe. I think F. Graham was involved in this effort at one time, and he may still be.

Cincinnati native Bootsy Collins was in one of Browns first backing groups.

King Records did everything in-house, so records like Night Train and Papas Got a Brand New Bag, would've been recorded there.


Signing Brown almost didn't happen. I can't attribute this story, as I can't find the link, but I think I read one time that a snowstorm prevented Brown from going to Chicago for a meeting with another label, and so King was able to meet with him first. Brown often went and recorded stuff elsewhere despite being under contract though, which lead to many of his legal problems, and contention between he and the owner Syd Nathan. Nathan passed in '68, so I think anything recorded after that would have happened elsewhere, and label was sold in '71.


This soul-jazz-funk song Papa Don't Take No Mess is the (entire) B-side of record #2 of the '74 album Hell. The kinda song that earned Brown the title Godfather of Soul.


Papa didn't cuss
He didn't raise a whole lotta fuss
But when we did wrong
Papa beat the hell outta us

The Fuzz was an American female vocal trio from Washington, D.C.. They started out in 1970 as The Passionettes, but changed their name when they signed to Calla Records in 1971.[1] Their self-titled debut album, which came out that year, was significant in that it was one of the first "concept" albums by a female artists and interspersed monologues (then referred to as "raps") and musical selections, built around a theme comparing love to the four seasons. Further, most of the songs were written by a group member (Shelia Young). The group had a great influence on the style Love Unlimited would later popularize under the tutelage of Barry White. The single "I Love You for All Seasons" went Top 10 on the US Billboard R&B chart and peaked at #21 on the US Billboard Hot 100.[2] The follow-up single, "Like an Open Door", hit #14 on the R&B chart, and after releasing two more singles with little no success, they disbanded in 1972.[3] The group reunited in the 1990's and performed at the Art Lebow Concert Hall in California with a new member following the death of Barbara Gilliam on September 11, 2010.

With a sound that falls somewhere between Shonen Knife, The Shangri-Las, and the Carter Family, Murfreesboro, Tennessee-based country-punk outfit Those Darlins have shared the stage with everyone from the Black Keys and Deer Tick to Jon Spencer and Wanda Jackson. Formed in 2006, the band (taking a cue from the Ramones) features Nikki Darlin, Jessi Darlin, Kelley Darlin, and drummer Linwood Regensburg. In 2009, after honing their distinct sound in the Nashville club scene, they released their eponymous debut, hit the road, and never looked back, selling out some of the biggest cities in the market. They brought their raucous live show to the festival scene as well, hitting up SXSW and Bonnaroo before releasing their sophomore effort, Screws Get Loose, in March 2011.


A new album has a scheduled release date of October 1, but a video of one of the songs on the album is already out.


They play Northside Tavern with Gamble October 20.

The competition for your ears — and dollars — just got a little tougher. On Wednesday, Google launched a paid music subscription service that will put it in direct competition with other streaming services like Spotify and Pandora. The announcement may just be the beginning for Google.

As it gets easier to access the Internet, more fans are streaming their music — not downloading it. A recent survey by the NPD Group found that for users between the ages of 13 and 35 streaming music services are more popular than FM radio. Google wants to make sure it rides that wave.

In addition to age, another huge elephant in my music room is rap. I haven't listened to a lot, and what I have listened to I can't say I'm much of a fan of. Everyone has their likes and dislikes though, and fans of rap might have very little use for funk or jazz or whatever, so it is what it is. Still, given the popularity of rap now, a fan of music can feel like they aren't really with it if they aren't at least trying to embrace it. Unfortunately I don't think it's going to happen for me in any meaningful way, though I do have like one song I like to listen to.


But I read a recent article at the Grantland website about a 300 lbs Armenian American rapper Action Bronson that recently signed a recording contract, has a signature line of portable vaporizers, and whom frequently raps about food. So I had to see if I could dig something up on youtube. It wasn't easy, but what follows is what I came up with.

I'm in the thrall of a fairly good earworm this summer: Robin Thicke's Blurred Lines. Usually the 'song of the summer' is pretty bad but this one harkens back to Marvin Gaye's Got to Give it Up. And for those fans of NSFW, dig up the uncensored video.


Report: Marvin Gaye's family turn down Robin Thicke settlement (http://music.msn.com/music/article.aspx?news=824493)



Marvin Gaye's family has turned down a six-figure settlement from Robin Thicke as he attempts to end an ongoing battle over similarities between his summer hit "Blurred Lines" and soul classic "Got To Give It Up," according to a report.

Members of the late soul legend's family are currently embroiled in a lawsuit with the R&B hitmaker over his tune, claiming Thicke plagiarized "Got To Give it Up," while Thicke maintains "Blurred Lines" does not infringe on Gaye's song.

Thicke reportedly offered up the settlement to preempt a copyright infringement lawsuit, but the family rejected it, according to Billboard.com.


Thickes mommy hasn't commented, yet.

No idea. I think I have one other song of theirs that I haven't listened to much. I didn't even know what era they were from until I just looked it up. Looks like they have about a half dozen albums including one this year. Here is a snippet from their bio at Allmusic:



Sex Mob began merely as a setting to feature the slide trumpet of leader Steven Bernstein, but has grown into a band with a much larger mission: to put the fun back in jazz music. After assembling the band (Bernstein, slide trumpet; Briggan Krauss, alto sax; Tony Scherr, bass; Kenny Wollesen, drums), Sex Mob began a residency at the Knitting Factory, playing predominantly originals written by Bernstein. During a special evening of film music, the crowd went crazy for the "James Bond Theme," and Bernstein realized that the audience was much more attuned to their playing when they recognized the tune. The band started to expand their songbook, but not to the same old tired jazz standards. Songs by Prince, the Grateful Dead, the Rolling Stones, and even the "Macarena" could find their way into a Sex Mob set, the only rule being that the song had to have such a strong melody that it could withstand serious deconstruction. Bernstein said in Jazz Asylum, "I realize that's what jazz musicians have always done. That's how Lester Young got popular; it's how Charlie Parker got popular; it's how Miles Davis got popular; that's how John Coltrane got popular. They played the songs that everyone knew and because they could recognize the song, then that invited them into their style."

Bounce music is an energetic style of New Orleans hip hop music which is said to have originated as early as the late 1980s, but is typically believed to have begun with the 1991 single "Where Dey At" by MC T.Tucker and DJ Irv. A highly influential cover of "Where Dey At" was also released by DJ Jimi in 1992.

Bounce is characterized by call and response style party and Mardi Gras Indian chants and dance call-outs that are frequently hypersexual. These chants and call-outs are typically sung over the "Triggerman beat" which is sampled from the songs "Drag Rap" by the Showboys, "Brown Beat" by Cameron Paul, and also Derek B's "Rock The Beat". The sound of bounce has primarily been shaped by the recycling and imitation of the "Drag Rap" sample: its opening chromatic tics, the intermittent shouting of the word "break," the use of whistling as an instrumental element (as occurs in the bridge), the vocoded "drag rap" vocals and its brief and repetitive melody and quick beat (which were produced with use of synthesizers and drum machines and are easily sampled or reproduced using like-sounding elements).


Kanye used a similiar technique on some of his early stuff.


If you haven't heard this before it helps if you at least have some familiarity with the basic groove, so I'm posting this one with Sade.. a good chance most have at least heard Kiss of Life, but there are some of these I like better.

I have a few regrets in my life. Probably more than a few. One of them is not flying out to NYC for the final LCD Soundsystem show. I'll be honest that by the time of that show, I was a bit over them. (I saw them far too often years earlier.) But I've watched that documentary several times now. It looked truly epic, and my friends confirmed that it was.

MidPoint Music Festival is next Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. More than 180 showcases scheduled. Every year there is some new incredible discovery or a band you might not have thought too much about until you catch them live. I highly recommend going, getting a 3-day wristband, and just jump from stage to stage to see what's out there.

July 16, 2008:


Former rapper Sporty T was murdered Tuesday morning (July 15) when unknown assailants with AK-47 rifles opened fire on the FEMA trailer in which he slept.

According to the Times-Picayune, Sporty T, real name Terence Vine, was in bed when several of the bullets shot into the trailer struck his body. The coroner's office said that the former rapper was 39, though friends and family claimed he was 41.

NOPD officers reported that the trailer was riddled with at least 28 bullet holes, and Vine was pronounced dead at the scene. Police currently have no motive, suspects or witnesses.

Vine joined a rap trio known as the Ninja Crew when he was 14, recording three albums. He then signed as a solo artist with Big Boy Records, recording over a dozen albums with them. Drawing a local following, he began his own Sporty Records, where he ended his career as a rapper.

Since that time, he held regular jobs and parented two 10-year-old sons and a 15-year-old stepdaughter, according to his sister Sheila. When asked if her brother had enemies, she responded, "My brother wasn't beefing with anybody," Sheila Vine said. "He didn't go out much. He just worked. He kept to himself. He loved his kids."

Vine had brushes with the law, including a murder charge he was never convicted of. Another member of the Ninja Crew, Terrence "Baby T" McKenzie, was murdered in April 2000.

I highly recommend going, getting a 3-day wristband, and just jump from stage to stage to see what's out there.

Midpoint has been so inflated last 2 years. I remember 3-4 years ago when a weekend wristband was like 25 dollars now its like what? 70+? That's the price of OTR being developed I suppose. But yes Midpoint is one of Cincinnati's great things. Can't recommend it enough.

Consider the cost and size of other music festivals. Now, consider MidPoint is in it's 12th year.
The first round of ticket sales was $49. It's been that price for six years. Buy today it's $69. Day of price is $79.

$69...For THREE DAYS with 17 STAGES...with 170+ bands coming from around the world.
Take a look at any festival this size and with this quality of acts and see if you find one under $100.
Take a look at any plain old concert with two or three acts, throughout the year, and $69 is not out of line.

AND if you want to just go to a single venue for one day, you can do that and spend between $10-$20.
Free acts will play the entire festival on the 12th Street Midway and some day shows at Findlay Market.

Other festivals:
Bunburry $130
XPoNential Music Festival $125
All Good Festival $250
Pygmalion music festival (Which has an almost identical lineup as MPMF at the top) $100
SXSW $650
Bonnaroo is minimum $224
CMJ festival is $500
Mountain Oasis $150

Some of these have much bigger acts (or more of them) but that's why they cost more.

This year you can see the 20th Anniversary of The Breeders playing the now classic album "Last Splash"

A month or so ago my youtube account got taken down for copyright infringement. It was a minor bummer losing the music I'd uploaded, but not that big a deal cause it was basically all mainstream old stuff everyone's heard a zillion times. The bigger bummer was losing all the music uploaded by others I had saved. Some of it I'll never find again, and even the stuff I really liked I haven't found all of it.

When I first re-established an account I just started saving things to listen to later. This one below I saved for no apparent reason and when I went back to listen to it I noticed the label spinning says KING. So there you have it, this was pressed right there next to XU in about 1968. I don't know why I think that's cool, I just do.

Funk, rock, and jazz have been equally adapted to the sweet jazz sounds of Leslie Drayton's trumpet. A founding member of Earth, Wind & Fire, Drayton went on to be involved with a variety of projects during the 1970s. In addition to playing in the orchestra pit of the Hollywood production of the counterculture musical Hair, he arranged and conducted sessions for Nancy Wilson and New Birth and served as music director/conductor for Marvin Gaye and Sylvester. He played big-band jazz with the Cab Calloway, Gerald Wilson, and Louis Bellson orchestras.


Drayton had some health issues awhile back. I don't think he's put out any new albums since the late '90's. This is off the '94 album Until Further Notice.

Since Arcade Fire is a Montreal band, they've been talking it up in Canada all week. From what little I've heard, sounds interesting.

Apparently AF went to Haiti, played a show there and was influenced by the other bands on the bill. They then incorporated a "carnivalesque" sound into the new release.

Really like "Here comes the Night Time".

I have a Romeo and Juliet vid saved but one reason I didn't post it is because it's 9+ minutes. The above is probably more interesting anyway.

In one of the less likely collaborations in recent music history, Norah Jones and Green Day frontman Billie Joe Armstrong have teamed up to record Foreverly, a track-for-track tribute to the Everly Brothers' 1958 album, Songs Our Daddy Taught Us.

New Arcade Fire is really good. Takes a few listens...noise reduction Shure earbuds definitely help. Not as good as Funeral or Suburbs....but really good. A different direction.
