It's been a couple days since the last blog, so I just want to throw some notes out there: -- The last time The Hold Steady played Pittsburgh, last summer, it had to stare down a crowd of indifferent Dave Matthews fans. The time before that, the band, one of the best to emerge from the last decade, battled a tough sound mix with the Drive-By Truckers at the Carnegie Library Music Hall of Homestead....
Midlake Official Site Denton’s Midlake have taken a bit of a strange path to get to where they are today. Starting their career at the turn of the century as a jazz-funk band, they worked in relative obscurity until releasing their breakout LP, The Trials of Van Occupanther , in 2006—that record helped to build Midlake’s fan base slowly but steadily, as more and more people became...
I've been listening to the rather excellent new Midlake album, 'The Courage of Others'. Whilst Tim Smith claims to have been listening to British Folk Rock and to Jethro Tull, a more contemporary comparison might be made with recordings from Espers. There is certainly parallels with the British canon though - most notably, to these untrained ears, in the sound of the drums. It is with the drums that...
Thank you, taxi drivers of Southampton ; next time I visit your city I now know who not to call for a cab. Where I live, about 95% of the drivers are Pakistanis, and not only do they know where they're going but they charge fairly and seem to know instinctively whether you want to talk or not. Good lads; I'll bet few Southampton cabbies come close (and if you read this, Saj, no you're not getting any...
AC/DC won the first Grammy of their career on Sunday night when they won the best hard rock performance award for the song "War Machine". Of course, despite being from one of biggest selling albums of 2008 they were "honored" with the award during the non-televised portion of the show, which is reserved for the "acceptable," though often lesser selling artists. AC/DC are...
BHK has a new(ish) laptop - Windows 2000 machine, runs well, and quick - now we just have to bring all of the data over to it. (about 6 dvds) Went to the job fair in Rockville- lots of good potential there... unfortunately, Sean was unable to make it - he's sick with a bad cold. I really hope that he's feeling better now, though. After the fair, we sniffed around town - visited La Madeline and World...
Rodger Daltry and Anne Wilson should be executed for destroying one of the best rock and roll songs ever: I love Jethro Tull, but this version is even worse, if that is possible: I am not sure what to think of this version by the late Israeli singer Ofra Hazi : The original: 'Nuff said
The Mystery of the Belly Buttons It has been a long time. I haven't posted here for ages and it certainly doesn't help when one forgets the password in order to access the blog and moderate it. If there is anyone out there who tunes in occasionally to see what I have to warble on about, I am here and contemplating what article to write next as well as intermittently contemplating my navel. Hmmm - Maybe...
Creating a list of the top heavy metal guitarists is a difficult task and while this list may irritate some, there is no doubt as to the influence of each of them. Depending on the genre of heavy metal you are into, these guitarists each contributed in different ways, whether it is classical, death, glam, blues or any type of metal. I cringe a bit at putting up a list of the best heavy metal guitarists...
Look we all make mistakes. But Grammy voters have blown so many calls over the years that the Recording Academy really ought to start distributing Miracle Ear hearing aids when it sends nominees' albums to voters. We feel that the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences should just rename the awards ceremony “The Grammys: Where Hindsight Is 20/20”. Think we’re overreacting?...
Following the first British invasion spearheaded by The Beatles in 1964, the American market became the Holy Grail for many British artists. However, "breaking the States", as became the common parlance in the music industry, often necessitated months of arduous touring, best negotiated under the watchful eye of a local manager or agent.
One of the 'perks' of my job is that I get to take clients out. As you might imagine I like my music so I tend to find out if my clients are interested in music and ask who their favourites are and then try to take them to see a gig. I have bought tickets to see Jethro Tull at the Brighton Dome in March to take a client out. On this occasion I must put my hands up and say that although I know of Jethro...
