It’s been a long and busy week here at Ickmusic East full of ups and downs. Between the shocking and untimely passing of LeRoi Moore, Jerry Finn, Issac Hayes and Jerry Wexler the music community has lost many members these past two weeks. On the positive side it’s been a week of some cool discoveries [...]

WE'VE become accustomed to Chicago standing high as one of the nation's great theater and opera centers. So it's perhaps only logical, after many ineffectual attempts, that it's established itself as a town for dance, as well. First came the...

The theme for this week's Photo Hunt is support. Stretching the definition, here is another statue from the Pere Lachaise cemetery in Paris. It is from the tome of 19th century scientists and sociliast Francois-VincerFrancois Raspail. The statue also appears on the cover of the Dead Can Dance album Within the Realm of a Dying Sun I will be a bit slow in visiting this week. An injured finger makes...

Now for your listening pleasure... 1. PYT (Pretty Young Thing) – Michael Jackson We drafted Pat Kane, enough said. 2. How Fortunate The Man With None - Dead Can Dance This was when old Bill Wirtz died. It, of course, is never fun to see your owner die, but on the other hand, he was an evil dictator to the entire organization. It wasn't happy, but still nice to have a change coming. 3. Get The Party...

Damn you, Tom, just as I was doing some work, you land me with a meme that’s actually quite cool… “List seven songs you’re into right now. No matter what the genre, whether they have words, or even if they’re not any good, but they must be songs you’re really enjoying now, shaping your spring.” I’m neck-deep [...]

When you have a mountainous pile of music to get through, it often starts to sound very same-ish. Thus, often the only type of music that slips past the filters is that which is different in some way. Nothing is truly original, but every now and then a band does something that puts new twists [...]

Two more contributions to the Seven Songs meme are in: Jams nominates great tracks by Ofra Haza, Dead Can Dance and others. Unfortunately, the Darya Davar YouTube clip is now down, but there's plenty more from this wonderful singer. He also nominates "The Forest" by the Cure. I don't like the Cure that much, but that's one of their songs I like the most. Roland nominates a gorgeous version of " La...

Brendan Perry is the other half– Lisa Gerrard is probably better known– of Dead Can Dance. He started out, though, in his native New Zealand as the leader of a punk outfit called The Scavengers. In 1993 Brendan, already a 4AD artist as part of Dead Can Dance, contributed a cover of Tim Buckley's [...]

Perhaps the most surprising thing in Lisa Gerrard's career is that amongst the movies whose soundtracks upon which she appears is Layer Cake. No, really. This weekend, as we shake the video tree to pick some of her best performances, we'll try and draw some sort of veil over that one, shall we? This is Come Tenderness: More videos over the weekend - they'll be listed here Buy The Mirror Pool Gladiator...
