Music Musings and Miscellany (Free subscription) | 07/24/2008
The concept is simple. Take the 96 biggest hits of 1957 on the American R&B chart, arrange them chronologically and stick them on four CDs. Job done. And that is precisely what Acrobat have done here. Unlike the Boulevard Vintage series of year-themed Rhythm and Blues collections (which go back to 1947 but have yet to [...]

Charging bulls, lasered Radiohead, and more
John Nack on Adobe (Free subscription) | 07/13/2008
Jumping the shark : predictable and sad. Jumping several hundred pounds of very PO'd livestock: much more spectacular . (Interestingly, the man-gores-bull shot hides behind a "this may be offensive" curtain, whereas the bull-gores-man shots don't.) In Curse of the Black Gold , Ed Kashi captures the pain, degredation, and occasional beauty wrought by oil extraction in Nigeria. (The tiny bottom nav bar...

This week’s Friday Mix Tape features six killer songs containing someone’s name in the title. I’m still waiting for a decent [...]

More Death Shows: Cold Case
(en)Gender (Free subscription) | 07/11/2008
I watch a lot of death shows, as I call them - the forensics, the procedurals, the investiigation shows. I’m a big fan of Cold Case, especially: the premise is that they have to take on a cold case - a case where the leads died, mostly - and solve it. So there’s a kind [...]

Louis Jordan at 100
Power Line (Free subscription) | 07/08/2008
Today is the centennial anniversary of the birth of Louis Jordan. Jordan is the link from the birth of jazz and the big band swing era to rock 'n' roll, from Louis Armstrong (with whom he recorded some duets) to Chuck Berry and Little Richard. Having touched everyone from Ray Charles to Prince, Jordan deserves a hearing in his own right. Between 1942 and 1951 he recorded an astounding 57 rhythm and...
