Elbow = Genius |
"The Seldom Seen Kid" is probably (or will probably be) one of the best records released this year (because IN_RAINBOWS came out in 2007), and very few people in this country are likely to know about ... Posted by on Wed, 28 May 2008 16:07:00 GMT |
Crushed Stars, new record. |
Anxiously, I await a copy of the new Crushed Stars record. I don't know if I'm getting an advance copy, or if the official street date got past me. Either way should have it this week. Moot point I th... Posted by on Sat, 15 Dec 2007 10:44:00 GMT |
rainbow box |
In Rainbows Disc Box came today. Nothing could possible be a better Christmas gift. What a delight to hear this on vinyl. Alternatively, current royalties for iTunes sales almost covered the cost of t... Posted by on Sat, 15 Dec 2007 10:41:00 GMT |
There is no more music in Paris. |
10 Days in Paris. Street Buskers? 2, old school, with accordions. 1 clarinet trio on an RER train {rush hour no less}. One a cappella rastafarian, that I'm not convinced wasn't working out a politica... Posted by on Mon, 04 Dec 2006 15:58:00 GMT |
records I worked on for nice folks |

friendly fire shows that misery is a butterfly |
Just purchased the new record from Sean Lennon. It's not only great, it's fantastic to hear someone resonate with John Lennon influence. He has the right to sound like his father and not be a knock of... Posted by on Wed, 25 Oct 2006 05:55:00 GMT |
3 recent shows |
A few days apart, I recently had a chance to see 3 very different bands. Man, what you learn from catching folks on a very small stage, with good seats and perfect sound. I won't tell you where (all t... Posted by on Thu, 28 Sep 2006 17:45:00 GMT |
To all of the geniuses. |
I met Gerry Leonard. Who you say? There are albums I love that often I'm aware are dependent on the most subtle nuances in tonality of guitar, obscurity, and subtle taste in the backline. It's not to ... Posted by on Sun, 06 Aug 2006 15:04:00 GMT |
finally, some dates |
Currently being planned: a brief south central and east coast tour, with The Luther Jett opening in stripped down solo or drums and guitar only performances for Asia Man Records artists Grant Olney. G... Posted by on Tue, 23 May 2006 05:34:00 GMT |
one hit wonders |
I hate "one hit wonder" lists. Here's why: just because an artist is no longer performing in the top of the pop charts, doesn't mean they aren't creating work of value, or perhaps work better than tha... Posted by on Thu, 04 May 2006 21:46:00 GMT |
