I was not in attendance.<br />

<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Last night’s Phish show at Madison Square Garden proved to be quite the as the second set took of to a variety of different textures and emotions over the course. Not getting ahead of ourselves though, the first was a raucous affair that had a few rough patches but was overall entertaining. Highlights included the anticipated return of Wombat, of course minus one Abe Vigoda and his dancers. This however allowed the band to have some more space to operate and lead to a very funky endeavor. Yarmouth Road seemed to hit its stride. The tune got some much needed fine tuning since fall tour. Lawn Boy saw a rare outside the kit appearance by Jon Fishman as he joined Page McConnell and Mike Gordon during Mike’s bass solo. A hard pill to swallow was Punch You in the Eye which found Trey not hitting the notes during the Landlady section. The band could use a but more practice on those lines. However, a valiant effort on their part and great song placement if not 100% executed.</div>

<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>The second set began with the always rocking Chalkdust Torture. However, as if recalling the best of 2013, the band pushed down a dark road reminiscent of the version of Dicks’ earlier this summer. The band left Chalkdust all together and instead of landing back in it ended up in the riff from Mike’s Song. Mike’s was standard yet rocking. Fans wishing for the 2nd F Jam were left hanging though as the band decided to rip into a new tune and played Devotion to a Dream. The pop song seemed off in the typical Mike’s Groove but was well placed. The following sextet was a real highlight though, kicked off by a glorious Ghost. This Ghost was a Type II delight with a perfect segue into Weekapaug Groove. Weekapaug seemed a little slower than usual but was fun nonetheless. The band then tore into an unexpected Simple and may be the first time ever Simple has FOLLOWED Weekapaug rather than gone into it. The opening wood blocks of Harry Hood followed and man was it bliss. A very blissful version kept the momentum of Harry Hood in 2013. It is truly one song that has gotten better with each performance this year. The band then hit typical showstopper Cavern and rocked it out. Trey then said thank you and good night. However, instead of finishing up, Fishman hit the drumbeat to First Tube and the band launched into it with gusto. Closing with a such a high enegery number could have send everyone out happy but there was one more trick for the encore. Phish came back out and played a buoyant Slave to the Traffic Light, hitting those slow builds and playing the tension and release to a T.</div>

Overall a very good night, still no covers after 75 songs, and plenty of tasty material left! What will the last show of Phish’s 30th year bring? Let the speculation begin!</div>

So here it is. You'll see some Entertainment Business related posts, mixed in with my usual nonsense. Really excited to be in this program and hopefully I won't be on the outside looking in for much longer!Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13675816154867059080noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3740439775828049294.post-27266067975170251882011-12-05T06:51:00.001-08:002011-12-05T20:00:59.495-08:00Best Albums of 2011: 2nd Draft.<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px 'Lucida Grande'; color:#333233;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px">Best of 2011:</span></p> <p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px 'Lucida Grande'; min-height: 15.0pxcolor:#333233;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px"></span><br /></p> <ol style="list-style-type: decimal"> <li style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px 'Lucida Grande'; color:#333233;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px">El Camino - The Black Keys</span></li> <li style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px 'Lucida Grande'; color:#333233;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px">21 - Adele </span></li> <li style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px 'Lucida Grande'; color:#333233;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px">Circuital - My Morning Jacket </span></li> <li style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px 'Lucida Grande'; color:#333233;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px">Wasting Light - Foo Fighters </span></li> <li style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px 'Lucida Grande'; color:#333233;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px">Inclusions - Ben Sollee</span></li> <li style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px 'Lucida Grande'; color:#333233;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px">Hurry Up, We're Dreaming - M83</span></li> <li style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px 'Lucida Grande'; color:#333233;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px">Kiss Each Other Clean - Iron & Wine </span></li> <li style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px 'Lucida Grande'; color:#333233;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px">Ceremonials - Florence and the Machine</span></li> <li style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px 'Lucida Grande'; color:#333233;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px">Fleet Foxes - Helplessness Blues</span></li> <li style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px 'Lucida Grande'; color:#333233;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px"> Hot Sauce Committee Part Two - Beastie Boys</span></li> <li style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px 'Lucida Grande'; color:#333233;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px"></span><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px; color:#000000;"> </span><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px">Burst Apart - The Antlers</span></li> <li style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px 'Lucida Grande'; color:#333233;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px"> 50 Words for Snow - Kate Bush</span></li> <li style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px 'Lucida Grande'; color:#333233;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px"></span><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px; color:#000000;"> </span><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px">The Whole Love - Wilco</span></li> <li style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px 'Lucida Grande'; color:#333233;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px"></span><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px; color:#000000;"> </span><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px">Kaputt - Destroyer</span></li> <li style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px 'Lucida Grande'; color:#333233;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px"></span><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px; color:#000000;"> </span><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px">Hardcore Will Never Die, But You Will - Mogwai</span></li> <li style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px 'Lucida Grande'; color:#333233;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px">All Eternals Deck - The Mountain Goats</span></li> <li style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px 'Lucida Grande'; color:#333233;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px">Undun - The Roots</span></li> <li style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px 'Lucida Grande'; color:#333233;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px">Codes and Keys - Death Cab for Cutie</span></li> <li style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px 'Lucida Grande'; color:#333233;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px">Native Speaker - Braids</span></li> <li style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px 'Lucida Grande'; color:#333233;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px">Odd Soul - Mutemath</span></li> <li style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px 'Lucida Grande'; color:#333233;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px">The Road from Memphis - Booker T.

Tight jams. Funky time signatures. Remind me of Rush meets the Jam but better. If I were an A&R man, I would sign these guys an have them open for Mars Volta. Watch them go platinum. I'm dead serious. See them. Now.<br /><br />Chalk Dinosaur:<br /><br />Rocky beginning and end but when they click it's on. They should drop the Weezer 2.0 songs and stick to hot licks like instrumental "Mahi-Mahi." Concert goer says, "If they were cuter, they'd be bigger."<br /><br />Shapiro:<br /><br />Indie rock, you have brought the work so far. I never thought I'd see drunk hipster dance to a band that sounds like Boston meets Supertramp meets Phoenix. Tight songs and rhythms. If you like Phoenix, you must check these guys out. Three bands to watch for.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />- Posted using BlogPress from my iPhone<br />Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13675816154867059080noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3740439775828049294.post-91113940447148700592010-07-15T13:49:00.000-07:002010-07-15T13:50:33.989-07:00July 14th Trivia Answers<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; border-collapse: collapse; "><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; ">Current Events:</div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; min-height: 14px; "><br /></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; ">1.

Music Festivals. Somewhere in the Western world, there's bound to be on every weekend. This weekend is probably the biggest one in the US, Bonnaroo. Started in 2002, Bonnaroo has grown from its humble roots in the Jamband community and the legendary Phish festivals to a festival that is one of the pre-eminent music events in North America.<div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>Last year was my first trip to the Manchester, TN farm and I had a blast. Day one found me checking out such hot new bands as Hockey and White Rabbits. Day two I saw Animal Collective play in bright daylight, TV on the Radio rock out, watched the Penguins win the Stanley Cup with 30 strangers on a 13-inch screen while David Byrne and Jets Overhead rocked for my attention in the background, and then saw Phish for the first time in 5 years. Day Three kicked off with a hot set by Turbine, a surprise set from Jimmy Buffett, Comedy from Triumph the Insult Comic Dog and Jimmy Fallon broken up by big time favorite Dan Dyer, a taste of Elvis Costello and Wilco before the main course being in the pit of Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band. The final day rounded out with Lebowski Fest, Okkervil River, Merle Haggard, Coheed & Cambria, and Phish with special guest Bruce Springsteen, a collaboration that truly blew my mind. </div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>With all that excitement, the attention now turns to what surprises are in store for 2010. As noticed by the earlier list, I didn't get out to many late nights last year. This year seems all about the late nights. Here's a rundown of what I hope to catch.</div><div><br /></div><div>Thursday:</div><div><br /></div><div>Fanfarlo</div><div>Diane Birch</div><div>Local Natives</div><div>Neon Indian</div><div>The Temper Trap</div><div>Mayer Hawthorne and the County</div><div>Constellations</div><div>The xx</div><div>Wale</div><div><br /></div><div>Thursday is traditionally set for up and coming bands and this year is no different. Heavy hitters not to overlook include The Temper Trap and Local Natives which is why you'll find me at That Tent mostly on Thursday. Local Natives' killer <i>Gorilla Manor</i> and The Temper Trap's great <i>Conditions</i> lead the way but you'd be hard pressed to be let down on the festival's first day.</div><div><br /></div><div>Friday:</div><div><br /></div><div>The Young Veins</div><div>The Gaslight Anthem</div><div>The Gossip</div><div>She & Him</div><div>The National</div><div>Tenacious D</div><div>Michael Franti & Spearhead</div><div>Kings of Leon</div><div>Daryl Hall and Chromeo</div><div>LCD Soundsystem</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>Friday is action-packed from the get-go. Starting with Panic! at the Disco ex-pats The Young Veins' retro sound is a good lead-in for The Gaslight Anthem's Springsteen-tinged Jersey punk. Then it's ladies day at This Tent as Beth Ditto's Gossip will have a mid-day dance party and then indie goddess Zooey Deschanel and M. Ward rock out as She & Him. I'll probably leave She & Him early to catch a bit of the National as <i>High Violet </i>and their back catalogue has me excited for the band. Then from the National, we go into the awesome power that is Tenacious D. I've seen the D before at Madison Square Garden but as D appearances are rare and Conan O'Brien is on hand, I feel this set is a don't miss. Probably, debut some new tracks as well. Michael Franti and Spearhead, a festival staple, will bring some much needed vibes to the day before seeing local boys Kings of Leon rock the main stage. </div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>Friday late night is just as insane as the day. Making a decision on the three-way logjam that is the Flaming Lips, The Black Keys, and Daryl Hall & Chromeo, watching one clip from Live from Daryl's House on YouTube made the decision easy. Daryl Hall & Chromeo will be one not to miss. The Flaming Lips will be around and The Black Keys, I'll catch at Lollapalooza. It all leads to probably the biggest set of the day (sorry Kings of Leon), LCD Soundsystem from 2-4 AM. I don't even need to say anymore. It's gonna be on fire.</div><div><br /></div><div>Saturday:</div><div><br /></div><div>Conan O'Brien</div><div>Jimmy Cliff</div><div>The Avett Brothers</div><div>DJ Logic</div><div>Weezer</div><div>Stevie Wonder</div><div>Jay-Z</div><div>Thievery Corporation</div><div>Deadmau5</div><div>Disco Biscuits</div><div><br /></div><div>After the clusterbang that is Friday, the Bonnaroo scheduling gets much easier. Saturday is really about one thing for me: Conan. I will do whatever it takes to be in the Comedy Tent for Coco. Probably the artist I'm most looking to see at the 'Roo this year. Never was able to catch a taping of Late Night so this'll be as close to that as I can get. Nice breather after Coco, either watching USA/England in the World Cup or making my way to the What Stage for Jimmy Cliff. A reggae legend and Rock and Roll Hall of Famer, it will be amazing to be in the sunshine (hopefully) enjoying Cliff's mellow grooves. The folk rock stylings of the Avett Brothers will follow that only to ramp it up for an amazing 1-2-3 combo with the pop-rock of Weezer, the legendary funk/R&B of Stevie Wonder, and then a special late night set by one of the greatest MCs ever, Jay-Z. It's gonna be a crazy evening. Another cool down with Thievery Corporation and then back up with DeadMau5 and The Disco Biscuits raving into the early morning.</div><div><br /></div><div>Sunday:</div><div><br /></div><div>Ingrid Michaelson</div><div>Aziz Ansari</div><div>Blues Traveler</div><div>They Might Be Giants</div><div>Dropkick Murphys</div><div>Zac Brown Band</div><div>Phoenix</div><div>Dave Matthews Band</div><div><br /></div><div>After raging all day, what better way to ease into the last day of Bonnaroo than the great pop of Ingrid Michaelson? It really will be a perfect Sunday kickoff. Then some comedy with the very hot Aziz Ansari. It'll be interesting to see what he has now that he had a bit about Bonnaroo and the Sonic Forest on his last record. Stalwart jamband Blues Traveler will bring their signature sound to the Other Tent following by legendary geek rockers They Might Be Giants. Dropkick Murphys will be a nice way to break the mellowness of the day with their Irish punk before winding down with country-fried Zac Brown Band, indie darlings Phoenix, and Dave Matthews Band, who will bring the heat but who's mellow vibes are only succeeded by Jack Johnson. A very mellow but musically great Sunday.</div><div><br /></div><div>That's what's on my schedule for Bonnaroo. I'm sure there will be deviations and surprises. I'll hopefully post some photos and stories from the event when I get back next week.

Time for the media to pick apart a selection committee's snubs and whether those selected are worthy or not. No, I'm not talking about the NCAA tournament. (Syracuse? The West? What were they thinking?) I'm talking about tonight's 25th annual Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony at the Waldorf-Astoria in New York City. It'll also be broadcast live on Fuse at 8:30. Now, much talk has been made about the tonight's inductees. Let's give the rundown:<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.furious.com/perfect/graphics/bangs.gif"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 178px; height: 217px;" src="http://www.furious.com/perfect/graphics/bangs.gif" border="0" alt="" /></a><br />ABBA - Arguably the number 4 best-selling artist of all time with over 370 million records sold, the is group is currently taking its lumps by critics as not being rock and roll enough. You would think that figure I stated earlier would be enough to get a pass but some out there question how much of ABBA is rock. The truth is the line between rock and pop is so blurred, who really should care? How is ABBA any different from Paul McCartney's solo career which he was inducted for in 1999. ABBA was so big in the 1970s, they outsold Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd worldwide. They continue to sell 2 to 3 million records a year and have influenced pretty much every pop act that followed. Table the debate. It's also good for the Hall to recognize influential artists outside of The US and UK.<br /><object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://www.lala.com/external/flash/SingleSongWidget.swf" id="lalaSongEmbed" width="220" height="70"><param name="movie" value="http://www.lala.com/external/flash/SingleSongWidget.swf"><param name="wmode" value="transparent"><param name="allowNetworking" value="all"><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"><param name="flashvars" value="songLalaId=432627120872821176&host=www.lala.com&partnerId=membersong.52379%40167862"><embed id="lalaSongEmbed" name="lalaSongEmbed" src="http://www.lala.com/external/flash/SingleSongWidget.swf" width="220" height="70" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" wmode="transparent" allownetworking="all" allowscriptaccess="always" flashvars="songLalaId=432627120872821176&host=www.lala.com&partnerId=membersong.52379%40167862"></embed></object><div style="font-size: 9px; margin-top: 2px;"><a href="http://www.lala.com/song/432627120872821176" title="Waterloo - ABBA" target="_blank">Waterloo - ABBA</a></div><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.glidemagazine.com/hiddentrack/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/genesis_gallery_2.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 399px; height: 316px;" src="http://www.glidemagazine.com/hiddentrack/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/genesis_gallery_2.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br />Genesis - Genesis has long been over due for induction. Always in the shadow of Pink Floyd and other progressive rock bands, Genesis was no less impressive, selling 150 millions albums worldwide. Not to mention launching two huge solo careers with Peter Gabriel and Phil Collins. Genesis also had the impressive feat of going from deep progressive rock to pop music in the transition from the 1970s to the 1980s. A great addition from a very underrepresented genre. While punk might have been to fight the bloat of prog rock, prog rock is still an influential part of rock history, spreading from jambands like Phish to metal bands like Coheed and Cambria.<br /><object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://www.lala.com/external/flash/SingleSongWidget.swf" id="lalaSongEmbed" width="220" height="70"><param name="movie" value="http://www.lala.com/external/flash/SingleSongWidget.swf"><param name="wmode" value="transparent"><param name="allowNetworking" value="all"><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"><param name="flashvars" value="songLalaId=360569582611823283&host=www.lala.com&partnerId=membersong.52379%40167862"><embed id="lalaSongEmbed" name="lalaSongEmbed" src="http://www.lala.com/external/flash/SingleSongWidget.swf" width="220" height="70" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" wmode="transparent" allownetworking="all" allowscriptaccess="always" flashvars="songLalaId=360569582611823283&host=www.lala.com&partnerId=membersong.52379%40167862"></embed></object><div style="font-size: 9px; margin-top: 2px;"><a href="http://www.lala.com/song/360569582611823283" title="The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway - Genesis" target="_blank">The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway...</a></div><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i149.photobucket.com/albums/s67/karenbrockway/hollies.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 300px;" src="http://i149.photobucket.com/albums/s67/karenbrockway/hollies.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br />The Hollies - This is the only selection I have a problem with. Many people go "Who are the fucking Hollies?," including this author and I even know tunes by the Hollies. They didn't sell a lot of records, especially in the United States. I didn't think them anymore influential especially when grouped with their peers in the British Invasion. Sure, without them, we might not have had Graham Nash or "Long Cool Woman in a Black Dress" but I'm not sure they're solid enough to be in the Rock Hall. If Don Mattingly isn't in the Baseball Hall of Fame, then the Hollies shouldn't be in the Rock Hall. I'm sure this was done just to placate Steven Van Zandt.<br /><object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://www.lala.com/external/flash/SingleSongWidget.swf" id="lalaSongEmbed" width="220" height="70"><param name="movie" value="http://www.lala.com/external/flash/SingleSongWidget.swf"><param name="wmode" value="transparent"><param name="allowNetworking" value="all"><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"><param name="flashvars" value="songLalaId=577023711105404573&host=www.lala.com&partnerId=membersong.52379%40167862"><embed id="lalaSongEmbed" name="lalaSongEmbed" src="http://www.lala.com/external/flash/SingleSongWidget.swf" width="220" height="70" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" wmode="transparent" allownetworking="all" allowscriptaccess="always" flashvars="songLalaId=577023711105404573&host=www.lala.com&partnerId=membersong.52379%40167862"></embed></object><div style="font-size: 9px; margin-top: 2px;"><a href="http://www.lala.com/song/577023711105404573" title="Bus Stop - The Hollies" target="_blank">Bus Stop - The Hollies</a></div><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.caribzone.com/Jimmy_Cliff.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 580px; height: 510px;" src="http://www.caribzone.com/Jimmy_Cliff.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br />Jimmy Cliff - Another long overdue induction in my opinion. If Bob Marley is the worldwide face of reggae, Jimmy Cliff is the man who kicked open the door to lead the way. To use a rap analogy, Jimmy Cliff is reggae's Grandmaster Flash to Bob Marley's Run-DMC (And I guess that makes Eric Clapton the Blondie of reggae.) Cliff in his role in <i>The Harder They Come </i>pushed reggae worldwide as millions bought the soundtrack album fearturing the legendary title track, "You Can Get It If You Really Want," and "Many Rivers to Cross." Cliff continues to perform worldwide including a slot at the upcoming Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival. Another key step in the Rock Hall's move to show how rock and roll has influcenced the world.<div><br /><object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://www.lala.com/external/flash/SingleSongWidget.swf" id="lalaSongEmbed" width="220" height="70"><param name="movie" value="http://www.lala.com/external/flash/SingleSongWidget.swf"><param name="wmode" value="transparent"><param name="allowNetworking" value="all"><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"><param name="flashvars" value="songLalaId=432627043555308264&host=www.lala.com&partnerId=membersong.52379%40167862"><embed id="lalaSongEmbed" name="lalaSongEmbed" src="http://www.lala.com/external/flash/SingleSongWidget.swf" width="220" height="70" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" wmode="transparent" allownetworking="all" allowscriptaccess="always" flashvars="songLalaId=432627043555308264&host=www.lala.com&partnerId=membersong.52379%40167862"></embed></object><div style="font-size: 9px; margin-top: 2px;"><a href="http://www.lala.com/song/432627043555308264" title="You Can Get It If You Really Want - Jimmy Cliff" target="_blank">You Can Get It If You Really W...</a></div><br /><br /></div><div><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 300px;" src="http://soundsxp.com/artman2/uploads/1/iggy_pop_raw_power_1_.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></div><div><br /></div><div>The Stooges - In the words of Cameron Crowe's Lester Bangs character, "Iggy Pop! Amen!" And in the words of this writer, "About fucking time!" The Stooges have always been one of the Rock Hall's longest time snubs. In my opinion, there are three bands than influenced the alternative music of the 1970s (punk, glam, early new wave): The Velvet Underground, The Modern Lovers, and The Stooges (with MC5 very close). Seriously, do I need to say more?

Albarn would fill the music content and Hewlett created a band of cartoon characters that put the Banana Splits and Archies to shame. 2D, Noodlez, Murdoc, and Russel hit the ground running with the cutting edge track "Clint Eastwood" and haven't look back since. Their self-titled debut was produced by Dan the Automator and second album </span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;">Demon Days</span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;"> was produced by the red-hot Danger Mouse. For </span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;">Plastic Beach</span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;">, Albarn has kept the reins to himself and his collaborators. Speaking of collaborators, the new album is just as powerful as the group's past two records. Joing the Gorillaz are Mick Jones and Paul Simonon, formerly of the Clash, Bobby Womack, Mos Def, Gruff Rhys of Super Furry Animals, Snoop Dogg, and probably a meeting of cosmic proportions, Lou Fucking Reed.</span></span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'Lucida Grande', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="white-space: pre-wrap; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;"><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>Enough of the backlog, let's get to the point of this rambling. </span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;">Plastic Beach</span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;">, on first listen, is the first real ALBUM of 2010. 2010 already has some solid releases (<i>Contra, Teen Dream, Astro Coast)</i> but this is the first that really hits like all the tracks flow from one to the other like a classic rock concept album. Each track, no matter is tone, feels like it belongs together. They all have the odd quirky electronic flourishes that characterize a Gorillaz record. It also has a stong pop feel to it. Albarn leans heavy on an synthesizer sound that feels like Brian Wilson would have used it if he could have. Albarn's constant presence on the album also gives it more of a cohesive feel than other Gorillaz records. He doesn't lean heavy on his guests too often. Two tracks that do this are "Some Kind of Nature" with Lou Reed and "Sweepstakes" with Mos Def. "Sweepstakes" is a great track but it sounds like it might have been a leftover from Def's amazing recent album <i>The Ecstatic. </i>"Some Kind of Nature" is the perfect blend of Albarn and Reed though with Lou singing the verses and Albarn on the chorus.</span></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'Lucida Grande', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" white-space: pre-wrap;font-size:x-small;"><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span><i>Plastic Beach</i> is also a great chill party record. You can put it on and have it either fall into the background or turn it up and dance to it. It'll start conversations and fill wordless voids. If I still lived in New York, I could guarantee I'd hear it at many parties all around Williamsburg, Greenpoint, Washington Heights and the like. The only downfall of the album, there's no singular strong track like <i>Gorillaz</i> had "Clint Eastwood" or <i>Demon Days</i> had "Feel Good, Inc." "Stylo," the lead single with Mos Def and Bobby Womack is a hot subtle 80s-eqsue groove with a killer vocal line by Womack but I can't see it selling iPods or blaring in a store. The second single "Superfast Jellyfish" could be out there with it's super catchy dreamlike chorus. Either way, it's a super fun record that will probably become a sound of the summer for hipsters and music dorks everywhere. Don't say you weren't warned.</span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'Lucida Grande', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="white-space: pre-wrap;"><object style="height: 360px; width: 640px"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/h9vAOzYz-Qs"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/h9vAOzYz-Qs" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowScriptAccess="always" width="640" height="360"></embed></object><br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'Lucida Grande', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="white-space: pre-wrap;">I leave you with the Hewlett-ized image of Lou Reed.

Artists and bands have their phases. No one can say Bruce Springsteen recent phase touches that unusual hot streak from 1975-1985. More personally though, everyone has their periods which could be box sets of their own lives. Artists and bands come and go in your musical consciousness at will, either totally saturating your listening patterns or lost deep in your record or iTunes collection collecting dust. I definitely don't listen to as much Guster as I did in high school. The Beatles come and go as they please. My favorite moments though are when artists that have been around for a long time stroll in and knock you on your ass. </span></div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"> </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';">Recently, that artist has been Jackson Browne. Maybe it was his songwriting for the Eagles that turned me off earlier or I just hadn't reached a maturity to really enjoy his songs. I mean there was that one time in 1994 when I pulled out my dad's copy of </span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';">Running on Empty</span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"> after hearing it during Forrest Gump's Run Across America and played it on end but that was the end of that dalliance. Or again in high school when my friend Jeff loved to play his cover of Maurice Williams and the Zodiacs' "Stay" again another cut from </span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';">Running. </span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';">Of course, no one will forget Jennifer Jason Leigh getting busy to "Somebody's Baby" over and over again in </span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';">Fast Times in Ridgemont High</span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';">. Thanks a lot, Cameron Crowe.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"> </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';">There's one track in particular that has been on constant repeat in my mind that I hadn't really listened to until now. That track is arguably his most famous, "The Pretender". Browne so gloriously pines about probably the biggest choice in modern American life that caught in the crossroads you can feel as if he's singing right to you. To myself, being 27, right around the age Browne wrote and released "The Pretender," I can see through the eyes of the song's protagonist. I've felt a definite change in the last few years. I was once ready to strike out on my own. With Bruce Springsteen's "Thunder Road" as my anthem I wanted to be "pulling out of here to win" but now with a job creeping on 4 years this October, I can feel "caught between the longing for love and the struggle for the legal tender." Do I stay in it for the money and comfort or leave it all behind for my dreams? Browne's protagonist sells out for the money as most people do. It's the only way the song can end effectively. It has to be tragic. If he didn't, the whole story would be pointless of course.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';">The struggle of money vs. happiness also couldn't have been wrapped in such a lush song. As expected with a Jackson Browne song, the piano is the lead instrument but it locks in with a tight band. Fred Tackett plays a guitar texture lost on many recordings and Jeff Porcaro strikes a delicate balance, driving the song when needed and laying back not to over power. The main coup though is David Crosby and Graham Nash providing tight harmonies, giving the vocals a full sound that hammer home the words to the listener.

It was probably one of the best things I ever did in college. <div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>Well, mushrooms on Halloween was pretty killer too but really seeing my printed word on the page was epic. Especially when they probably could've pulled someone from the award-winning journalism school to do the job. Of course, it helped begin music director at the hip underground college radio station, <a href="http://werw.org/">WERW 1570</a>. </div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>I've always wanted to get back to that but with media the way it is, I'm more likely to win the Powerball jackpot than land my dream job. So until I get my Ph.D in Musicology, here I am. In this space, you'll find all my ramblings. Concert reviews, album reviews, links to videos and live show downloads, concert etiquette, music industry faux pas, and all my other ramblings I can put down here. I'm also going to continue an idea from another blog I created, The Jukebox of Fail, music that really should not be played in public spaces anymore. I hope you enjoy what you read and if you do, please spread the word around. If your sick of Rolling Stone magazine, Pitchfork Media, and all the other music journalism bullsh*t out there, you're in the right place. Contact me if you'd like to contribute. Thanks for reading and keep on rocking in the free world.</div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13675816154867059080noreply@blogger.com0
