Billie Holiday

[StrangeGator]

Wild Flag is Carrie Brownstein, Janet Weiss (two thirds of the old Sleater Kinney) Mary Timony and Rebecca Cole. Carrie is co-star and co-creator of the TV show, Portlandia. Really funny and talented young woman. Love her new band.

Saw Frank with Odd Future Wolf Gang Kill Them All last summer. He is a quite a talent. Writes filthy hip hop and Justin Bieber songs. Odd Future is not my cup of tea.

[LeafUF]

I had heard of Odd Future but never listened to them, just been listening to Frank on his own.

I follow a lot of music sites through the Pulse app and I find a lot of crap, but some good stuff too.

When Giants walked the earth…

Lost in the dense and endless genius of Johnny Cash's collaborations with Rick Rubin are a few brilliant duets.

Here's Johnny with Joe Strummer, covering Bob Marley's Redemption Song.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BGVSTsgcCvw

This is the most poignant recordings Johnny ever made, a duet with Nick Cave.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2u2WrFlov9g

Unless it was Johnny singing Nick Cave's stirring Mercy Seat by himself.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n8CzFVm1Yio

Even if we're tired of old Johnny Cash, we need to expose our children and our grandchildren to the one of the greatest musical and poetic giants of our age.

That redemption song cover is great and the duet with Nick Cave is crushing. I think its just something about his voice.

A disc called Cruiser Special, 50's and 60's music for cruising in your old car.

I don't have an old car but am listening in the living room right now using my Apple TV.

By the way Vanders I finally started using the Apple TV regular and love it.

I know this is blasphemy, but I think Johnny and Nick sound better on that song than Hank does in the original. It just has more gravity.

I try to see CVB every time they come to town. Always a great show. They usually back up Cracker and then do a couple of songs with all the members of both bands on state at once.

I do the same....never miss them if them are in the area. I am a huge David Lowery fan. He's one of the coolest and smartest frontmen in rock history, IMO. He usually hangs around after concerts if anyone wants to chat with him. Some call him the "father of indie", because he rejected the commercial "hair band" sound of the 80s to do something cool and unique. Cracker was iconic in the mid-90s, with "Low" and "Eurotrash Girl". CVB and Cracker members are almost interchangable now, and normally are co-billed.

They just finished a "camp in" in Atlanta (linked below).

http://www.insiteatlanta.com/campvan.asp

I'd love to go to one of their "camp outs"........I hear they are awesome.

Lowery has to be one of the most musically and lyrically literate artists in the world. Love the span of genres he covers, mixing punk with Balkan folk and cabaret. He was brilliant to create both bands the way he did. Spent a decade building a cult following for CVB, then paved the way for wider popularity with Cracker, while CVB fans held their torches for a reunion, then bring back CVB back in '02 and letting both bands tour together. Best I remember from the last show I saw, Lowery and the drummer are the only people who play in both bands, but the only person who seems absolutely essential to Cracker is the other lead guitar player and vocalist. Don't remember his name, but he is quite the showman alongside Lowery.

[StrangeGator]

Was digging this on local radio while picking up the kids from school. Reminds me a little of IRS era REM.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xJpfK7l404I&ob=av2e

[toon66]

A little hint of Talk About The Passion in that opening riff.

[StrangeGator]

A little hint of Talk About The Passion in that opening riff.

That and the syncopated groove from Moral Kiosk. Biggest difference is that you can actually understand the lyrics. In the early 80s, The Clash was the "only band that mattered. REM was the "only band that muttered."

You're thinking of Johnny Hickman. He's an excellent songwriter and wrote "Mr. Wrong" for Cracker. A local indie musician told me that he thought it was the greatest country song he'd ever heard.

Aren't they touring with another group?

I bought VH tix for Tampa last night. I broke the bank on Stubhub to get right up to the stage on Eddie's side. I figured I may not have that chance again so fug it.

Good decision on VH. I'm jealous. We were in the front row for Styx. My 14 boy loved it.

Saw Styx at Silver Springs. No opening act. They put on a great show.

It was my first show there and it was nice. I would go back and may for Blue Oyster Cult. Get there early to get a good seat. We arrived at 10:30, claimed our seats and then enjoyed the park until the show. The concert was from 3-5.

[toon66]

Glen Campbell there on the 24th.

I wish I could catch the last tour but it looks like I may be in NYC for biz. At least I may be able to double dip Allmans and The Black Keys on consecutive nights if NYC works out.

Wish Glenn was coming through Chicago. Nothing currently on the Chicago Reader's Early Warnings. Maybe he came through and I missed him.

Bought tickets several weeks ago for the Black Keys and Arctic Monkeys, but they were for my daughter and her best friend. She's seeing more shows these days than I am. I haven't been to a live show since I saw Eleanor Friedberger back in October.

[LeafUF]

HS Seniors have a lot of free time this time of year.

Ive got a lot of shows coming up, looking forward to it as winter has been light.

Masquerade Motel in Miami a week from Friday. Got Shins tickets for April 13th, Coachella the week after that, Cage the Elephant a few weeks after that. Still considering Lolla or Pitchfork for later in the summer and RHCP in LA if I can find tickets.

[toon66]

Springsteen next week along w the possible NYC plate.
RHCP the next. Lolla Sao Paulo the week after that then Drive by Truckers, Los Lonely boys, Van halen, charles bradley the week aftwr Brazil. Elvis Costello later in April. Two Jane's Addiction shows in May along with Wilco. Jason Isbell is headlining Heatwave in Tampa come May as well. Roger Waters in Orlando in June. Lolla Chicago in August.

$ signs flying out of my bank account like winged monkeys but I can't pass up all these great acts.

[StrangeGator]

Going to see Grimes (akal Claire Boucher) tomorrow night at the Empty Bottle. Will see her again at P4k. She came out of the McGill University scene that produced Arcade Fire. She's kind of hot with that slutty Eurotrash waif thing going on. The Empty Bottle is a very intimate venue. I will be very close.

Maybe somebody can text me the final score to the Heat-Bulls game.

I have seen them before and they do put on a good show but given that they only have like 10 songs its not a long show. Certainly not worth big bucks, I think I spent $30 to see them in Vegas.

Jeff is a weird bird and a very timid person off stage. Jay is a bully. The two of them go back a long way and it was a very dysfunctional relationship. Jeff needed to get out of St. Louis (Belleville actually) and away from Jay to thrive. Jay may be brilliant, but he's irrelevant because he does not play well with others. If he did, he'd have a band full of brilliant musicians and collaborators.

Yes, back just before he really made it

[toon66]

Jeff is a weird bird and a very timid person off stage. Jay is a bully. The two of them go back a long way and it was a very dysfunctional relationship. Jeff needed to get out of St. Louis (Belleville actually) and away from Jay to thrive. Jay may be brilliant, but he's irrelevant because he does not play well with others. If he did, he'd have a band full of brilliant musicians and collaborators.

Agreed. Saw Jay Farrar solo and that's all I needed to know. He was horrible.

[Allanon]

Irony. I was outside trimming shrubbery and listening to Rush. I moved on to trim a couple of low hanging limbs from a tree when I notice the song that just started. The Trees.

[GatorJeff]

Drive By Truckers

Doesn't get any better than DBT. Best way to describe them is two incredibly smart and musically gifted redneck hippies (Mike Cooley and Patterson Hood) who alternately write and perform either cool idie, classic country (as good as you'll hear these days) or rock songs with guitar rifts that Jimmy Page would be proud of.

[toon66]

DBT is awesome. Smart song writing and a guitar wall of sound.

[GatorJeff]

Agreed. Saw Jay Farrar solo and that's all I needed to know. He was horrible.

Like it of not, Uncle Tupelo's sound was predominantly Jay Farrar and his brilliant songwriting. Jeff is a showman who is good at promoting his band, Jay an odd introvert.

I understand that fully and I don't get hung up on the whole Farrar vs Tweedy thing. Farrar still sucked completely when I saw him and that was a huge disappointment. Wilco, however, continues to thrive and explore. You can't deny Tweedy's creativity and innovation.

Like it of not, Uncle Tupelo's sound was predominantly Jay Farrar and his brilliant songwriting. Jeff is a showman who is good at promoting his band, Jay an odd introvert.

Jeff is good at a lot of other things, including songwriting, though he's more of a collaborative songwriter. He did a great job putting his band together. It's easy to promote a band when you fill it with world class musicians. Jeff was a pioneer in building an online community around music. In person, he's probably just as introverted as Jay. He's very uncomfortable in public unless he's on stage. He can barely look at you when he talks.

I'm surprised to hear that Jay was not good in concert. I heard Son Volt about four years ago at a street festival and they were incredible. Wilco songs have always had to grow on me. Almost every song Son Volt did in that show hit me immediately.

Jay isn't a showman, but Jeff isn't either in the true sense. He's just very affable when he's on stage. When I saw him at Lolla, he told the audience about waking up that morning with a huge zit, then he made the camera operator zoom in on his forehead. Next thing I know, his zit is thirty feet wide on the jumbotron. The crowd loved it.

[toon66]

No doubt. Haven't been this excited about a young band in quite some time.

I saw Farrar at Skipper's here in Tampa. One man show, him and hia guitar. So boring, it was if he didn't even want to be there. I walked out, first time ever.

[iceman44]

I've seen Son Volt live and Farrar live. The shows are not even close. Son Volt was much, much better. Farrar just doesn't seem to have the needed presence, at least to me, on stage.

Son Volt was a fantastic band. Wilco, IMHO, was a fantastic band through Yankee Hotel Foxtrot, then got too experimental and really left their roots and foundation.

But neither came close to the combination of Uncle Tupelo. Not even close.

[toon66]

I appreciate Wilco for their experimentation. Nils Cline is absolutely amazing on guitar.

That said, Anodyne is one of my favorite albums.

[GatorJeff]

I agree with you guys that Son Volt is far more energizing than listening to Jay's mostly melancoly and energy-zapping solo stuff. This old Uncle Tupelo classic is pure genius and never gets old........

I'm in the car with my 2 sons, 19 and 15. 19 year old has one of his CDs in with various music by bands he likes. All of a sudden I tell him I know this song. It was Killswitch Engage doing a cover of Dio's Holy Diver. Not surprisingly, I found Dio's version to be much better.

[iceman44]

If I wanted to listened to experimental music, of that form, I would have listned to Radiohead or Portishead, not Wilco. They got way to much credit. Nothing new, nothing creative. IMHO.

Yeah, agree with you and Strange. Farrar's guitar sounds so great. It's a pity he has such a fluted marble column up his ass. No depression, no fun.

I don't give a **** about a guy's ego if his band sounds good. Bob Dylan was a little self-involved too, I hear.

Speaking of new alums, Alejandro Escovedo is releasing his newest album Big Station on June 5th. Heard the new single Man of the World this past week.

He was the headliner. I remember reading about that. I used to love that little festival. First time I saw Alejandro live was at a big festival in St. Pete that featured only Texas artists. I think it was in the spring of 98, right before we moved back to the midwest. Probably seen him 12 or 15 times since then. He actually recognizes us at the shows now.

The dB's had a big reunion at SXSW and also took part in the Chilton/Big Star tribute. Their bass player wasn't available, so Mitch Easter (Let's Active, REM producer) sat in with them the whole week.

[toon66]

Yep, he headlined that year. Heatwave is coming up in a couple of weeks. It's my 2nd favorite event in Tampa behind Gasparilla.

Wilco is playing an interesting venue in Chicago in July, the triple A ballpark for the Kane County Cougars, about 20 miles west of the city, out near Ferme Labs.

Got the new Beach House CD Bloom from my kids for Father's Day. Perfect music for a lazy summer day. Can't really categorize this band. They've been labeled "Dream Pop" by the industry. I guess that works, but it sounds too much like industry jargon. It's light electronic pop that's upbeat without being uptempo. Kind of ethereal and uplifting. What the hell, I'll just call it Dream Pop.

It's a mid 1990's or early 2000's country song that sounds exactly like that... It's driving me crazy because I can't think of the name. It's a descending major scale with a simple standard progression: I - V - IV - I - IV - I - V - I

Or more precisely: G - D/F# - C/E - G/D - C - G/B - D/A - G
There are thousands of tunes that use this progression or some variation of it. The descending bass line is standard. Unfortunately, I do not know the song you are referring to.

the new 'Garbage' disc. Love it!!!


Been reading some very positive reviews. I'm very fond of this band and how they made it where they are.

Was a huge fan of the Duke and Vig's early bands Spooner and Fire Town throughout the eighties and the nineties. Used to see Spooner in Chicago every time they came to town. Even traveled up to Madison to see them play in front of a home crowd. It just pained me to see such talented musicians work so hard for so little. These guys were great producers and they saw how many bands with lesser chops than them were hitting it big with female lead singers and more dance hook based music. They went to Europe and hired Shirley Manson, then these aging cornbelt rockers become vocal driven Eurotrash hit makers. I wonder if their early fans in those Milwaukee biker bars even speak to them anymore.

Anybody who really likes this band should pick up an old Spooner or Firetown disc if you can find it. Or maybe you can just download a couple of singles. Tomorrow Never Comes by Spooner and The Good Life by Firetown were legitimate college radio hits in the last eighties. They were more in the realm of Whiskeytown or Uncle Tupelo.

Silversun Pickups' latest offering, Neck Of The Woods. Very, very solid. Would love to see these folks live.

Saw them live at Lolla three years ago. Okay set. Excellent fidelity live, but they didn't have a lot of strong material at that point. They had all the look of a one hit wonder. It was unfortunate for them that my daughter and I had just seen one of the best sets of the festival by The Kaiser Chiefs.

I always thought the Silver Sun Pickups' lead vocalist was female. (Is it just me?) I'm watching them play but the chick wasn't singing. What I always thought was a female voice is coming out of this very male bass player. It was like the girl was a ventriloquist.

Just starting to hear their new stuff on the radio. Strong followup.

[toon66]

Yes, female singer. I listened to them a couple of times and could hear what they were trying to do but they seemed to lack consistency. This new album sounds like they've overcome that.

Let me revise my recollection. I just heard Panic Switch on the radio on my way home from the gym (and then liquor story). Now I remember what a riveting performance that was. The rest of the show was a tepid warm up for that song.

Great review on the Av Club. Very intrigued, but not sure I'm ready for a Rush reunion.

Meanwhile, this Smashing Pumpkins debut is awesome. Really insightful, even vulnerable commentary from band members about each song. I would have expected at this point that this was totally Billy's band, but every member of the band is on air and this was a very collaborative project. Not only do the other member bring their talent but they insert pieces of their own narrative. In this show, Billy has given everyone s chance to provide their two cents. This sounds as much like a band of soul mates as the original band was in the early nineties.
