Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings are a funk/soul band. They are signed to Daptone Records, where the Dap-Kings are the house band. They are widely thought to be spearheads of a revivalist movement that aims to capture the essence of funk/soul music as it was at its height in the mid-1960s to mid-1970s. Part of the way this is achieved is to shun modern digital recording methods in favour of using traditional...

Well it was as epic as I had hoped and then some. Here is how Rolling Stone described it, Under pristine conditions at the Empire Polo Field and in front of a devoted Phish crowd of 40,000 fans, the Vermont foursome rollicked in Exile ’s swamp blues and roadhouse country, extending several songs with their own jams, highlighted by a spacey interlude between “Ventilator Blues” into...

It's that classic biblical tale: little known DJ from suburban Michigan takes on soul god from Motown. And the winner is... In 2007, Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings nabbed it in a hard fought battle. Last year, Raphael Saadiq easily triumphed. And now, ladies and germs, I'm pleased to announce that this year's award for album that sounds most like '60s-era Smokey Robinson goes to a relatively unlikely...

Halloween at Phish Festival 8 was truly a feast for the eyes. Although the desert heat was sweltering, fans enthusiastically touted costumes of all types, from robots to chickens to foam creatures to walking facebook pages. Phish took the stage for their first set at 3pm and rocked it out, despite the oppressive sun beating down on the stage. The set was packed full of fan favorites like “Divided...

Did anybody else want to know what album Phish covered last night when they got online this morning? Admit it, hipsters who went to college. You’ve spent some time with Phish and wanted to know too. Plus when a band has covered Talking Heads’ Remain in Ligh t, Velvet Underground’s Loaded and The Beatles’ White Album , you have to admit, at the very least, that they have good...

It wasn't until concertgoers arrived at the gates yesterday that they finally learned what classic album Phish would cover in its entirety during their "musical costume" set at Festival 8 . Reviving a tradition that began in 1994 when Phish covered The Beatles' The White Album, last night the quartet staged an ambitious cover of the Rolling Stones' 18-song double LP, Exile on Main St. As...

Admittedly, I am not the biggest fan of The Rolling Stones. Certainly don’t hate them, but they’re not at the top of any lists for me. None of that matter when it became clear just a few tunes into set two, Phish’s full performance of Exile On Main Street, that this would be the most tightly performed Phish set in recent history. If Phish played their catalog as cleanly and precisely...

Sitting on the sofa on a Saturday evening, waiting for the Phils and Yanks to play. I'm decked in all black except for my violently pink wig that I bought as an impromptu costume for last Tuesday's VOTS game*; I thought the neighborhood trick-or-treaters deserved a little effort beyond setting the bowl of candy out (and putting the dogs up). Just finished grading 100+ essays for the Bio & Society...
