The Pajama Club – Tell Me What You Want Official Video from Two Fish Out Of Water on Vimeo. “Tell Me What You Want is the first single off Pajama Club’s self-titled debut album. A heavy breathing tete-a-tete that has opened a range of vocal possibilities, various blends of breathiness and falsetto, and led Neil …
I like what the kids have got going on here. Distorted variations on the theme of Fleetwood Mac’s “Seven Wonders”: And, in case you need a history lesson, here’s the original:
It is 30 years to the day since Genius of Love came out. And every year on this day, Mariah Carey sends 100 white roses and a bawdy limerick to Tina Weymouth to express her appreciation. (Not really.) http://youtu.be/-9d9FA3fCf4
You pronounce it “eh-lee-AH-neh eh-LEE-ahs” which should be under “sultry” in your nearest dictionary. Go ahead and look it up. I’ll wait. Herbie Hancock loves her, Bob Brookmeyer cut a whole record of her charts, and she’s cut an entire album of Jobim. But she sells herself perfectly well with her songs. elianeelias.com – Andrew …

Last night, September 6, 2011 I ventured out to a little club called The Highline. It’s a very friendly, cozy little place up a flight of stairs on Broadway in Seattle’s Capitol Hill neighborhood. There I had the pleasure of viewing three great acts. First up was Pascal Briggs. This is my second time seeing …
If this is true, it’s a fantastic historical document. Who would have recorded this, the FBI?

He went by many names- Rice, Willie, Footsie, The Goat. His real name may have been Aleck Miller. He claimed to be the well-known bluesman Sonny Boy Williamson. When it was pointed out to him that this was another man, he insisted he had adopted the name first. Of course he was an imposter, but …
I went to see Walter Trout at House of Blues in Chicago on Friday, Sept. 2. And I must say, Trout is one excellent performer to see live. Be sure to go out and see him when he comes to your town. I’m not a big guitar hero guy, but when you can play a …
Taylor Dayne – Love Will Lead You Back – Great Sex Can Make You Seriously Delusional, By Gail Worley
“Love Will Lead You Back” By Taylor Dayne Key Lyric: “In my heart I know, love will lead you back.” The Message: Great sex can make you seriously delusional. When it comes to matters of the heart, I don’t believe in second chances. Likewise, I would strongly advise anyone against reconciling with a lover who …
I’ve been listening to Tommy Keene and in particular last year’s “Tommy Keene You Hear Me, Retrospective 1983-2009.” I have always leaned toward [1989 album] “Based on Happy Times” over [1986 album] “Songs From the Film.” The cello (!) riff alone on the title track, as I told said Mr Keene, ought to be sampled …
Brian Lee does a wonderful job of covering Bob Dylan’s “I Want You“. I think we’ve finally reached the point where those gifted enough can do justice to Dylan’s songs without sounding half apologetic (Hi Byrds) all the way through. That is to say, the myth of Dylan is receeding enough where just the songs …
Cool choreographing – I’m fuzzy on what the song is saying though. – Jill Kuhel
This poetic little nugget (sent in by Mark Erickson) comparing and contrasting the Burst Beat with the Blast Beat, may be the most expansively cosmic piece of music writing ever. Titled, “Transcendental Black Metal: A Vision of Apocalyptic Humanism,” this ponderous net-ifesto has ignited controversy wherever it has been read. The author, Hunter Hunt-Hendrix, said …
