Yesterday was a big day all round at the Stoop. The Columbinas made their first appearance of the new season, the Harlequins secured a stuttering but eventually comfortable victory over Bristol Rugby and I met once again with the editor of my book. It seemed to this observer, peering through his newly-purchased Jodrell Bank Supreme [...]
Sugababes updated fans on their blog at MySpace on Wednesday (September 10) with the following message: The Sugababes are very proud to announce that they’ll be partnering with The White...
Between the cramped space and the poles that look as if they were nicked from the New York City Transit Museum's shop, I wonder if the video for the Sugababes' Ernie K. Doe-biting single "Girls" wasn't intended to be the first step toward the period in their career where they travel the UK's byways while piloting that bus the Spice Girls used to tool around in . [ YouTube ]
The cynical opportunism of the Sugababes' new single is so audacious that it deserves a kind of grudging respect. By stealing the hook from Ernie K Doe's Here Come The Girls and adding some nondescript "independent women" verses, the band have guaranteed themselves a lifetime's supply of performance royalties from wedding disco DJs. But the song has a distinct air of "will-this-do" hanging over it,...
Gotta love the lamentably late Ernie K-Doe , Emperor of the Universe (Local 504), whose helter-skelter musical career was an all-American entertainment amalgam of moxie, mojo, mayhem, flim-flam, ham, raw talent, copious energy, alcoholism overcome, shameless self-promotion, and, just possibly, delusions of grandeur. Over the years, he had far more misses than hits in the marketplace, played more dives...
ARTIST: Sugababes TITLE: "Girls" WEB DEBUT: Aug. 11, 2008 RELEASE DATE: Oct. 6, 2008 ONE-LISTEN VERDICT: Some of you may remember the Christmas-themed ad for the UK cosmetics chain Boots that used Ernie K. Doe's "Here Come The Girls." A refresher: Well, this new single from the Sugababes is pretty much the above song, only pitched down a bit and given "updated" lyrics. Hearing this song on the same...
The UK's premier girl group the Sugababes are back with brand new single 'Girls'. A spin on the Ernie K. Doe classic of the same name, this version will serve as the first release from the ladies as yet untitled new LP. Granted the stellar nature of their last album 'Change', I must say I'm a little underwhelmed by this - though it does appear to have grower potential. Here's hoping the their
Allen Toussaint talks of his sporadic, unbought solo work and the royalties from the hits he's created for others with equal affection. The 70-year-old New Orleans legend has written, produced and arranged for The Band, Glen Campbell, the Pointer Sisters and most points in between, while staying rooted in his home city's R&B.
Miss Sugar Pie DeSanto “Listen -Sugar Pie DeSanto - Go Go Power - MP3″ Greetings all. The tune I bring you today is the very definition of ‘hard as fuck’. I’ll start out by admitting that I slept on the recordings of Sugar Pie Desanto for a long time, knowing her name but not the sounds that she [...]
If you look around for John Hammond videos on YouTube, you’ll find many good ones. Here’s a representative sample: a performance of “Mother-in-Law Blues.” Now some of you out there are thinking, “If he’s going to post a song about...
We start off with classic R&B from famed New Orleanian Ernie K-Doe. Then we head to the motherland for the new release from Rokia Traoré of Mali. Finally, we get four versions of a Brazilian song, "Maracatú Atômico" by Zuco 103, Gilberto Gil, Chico Science & Naçao Zumbi, and jazz bassist Glen Fisher. Enjoy.
Good gracious, my man could dance like James, could handle up on a microphone like James, could sing like James—actually could do all that better (according to K-Doe) than James.
