Dannyalcatraz Posted September 29, 2023 Share Posted September 29, 2023 Nat Meyers, a mixed race bluesman from Kentucky & buddy of Dan Auerbach (The Black Keys, etc.) has released his first album. 2 1 Quote Sturgeon's 2nd Law, a.k.a.

Dannyalcatraz Posted September 30, 2023 Share Posted September 30, 2023 Just stumbled on this video a few minutes ago. Apparently, this is the 1st track on their soon-to-be released FIFTH album. I can’t say I like everything about this piece, but I like a LOT about it. And there’s definitely room to be cautious with these guys. This earlier track sounds NOTHING like the one I posted above: Quote Sturgeon's 2nd Law, a.k.a.

Dannyalcatraz Posted October 8, 2023 Share Posted October 8, 2023 A few years ago, I got hooked on a band called Wand when I saw the video for their song “Sleepy Dog”: They did 3 albums, but then seemed to drop off the map. (They actually have a few more, but they kinda dropped off the radar I was monitoring.) Well, tonight I was watching a recording of their live studio set from KEXP: I was enjoying the hell out of it when I noticed several commenters mentioning Wand had apparently worked as a backup band for a musician named Ty Segall. Interest piqued, I searched YouTube for him, and found his newest release: I don’t know that Wand is still working with Ty, but regardless, I think his music is worthy of sharing as well! 1 1 Quote Sturgeon's 2nd Law, a.k.a.

The market is so balkanized these days, it’s HARD for bands to get to that critical mass of popularity that creates a “self-propagating wave” of awareness. Bands that would have been nationally famous by their 2nd or 3rd album stay “underground” much longer. 1 Quote Sturgeon's 2nd Law, a.k.a.

Dannyalcatraz Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 C.W. Stoneking is an Aussie musician has been around a while, playing new music in unapologetically retro styles. I first saw him on Later…with Jools Holland about a little over a decade ago. One of his more recent tracks is suitably spooky: 2 1 Quote Sturgeon's 2nd Law, a.k.a.

KuruPrionz Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 Last Saturday I went to hear Sona Jobarteh and her band. Amazing, wonderful!!! The video is a different recent performance but true to the experience. The music starts about 3 minutes in and grows. 2 1 Quote It took a chunk of my life to get here and I am still not sure where "here" is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dannyalcatraz Posted October 21, 2023 Share Posted October 21, 2023 Here’s Graveyard, a Swedish band that just popped up on my radar on the cusp of releasing their 6th album. To my ears, this tune gets more “Doors”-y as it progresses, especially at the end. I realize their instrumentation is different, but there is something about the phrasing of the guitar solo and the vocalist’s slightly raspy delivery that echoes that band without copying them. 2 Quote Sturgeon's 2nd Law, a.k.a.

Dannyalcatraz Posted November 8, 2023 Share Posted November 8, 2023 Brittany Howard, formerly of Alabama Shakes, has released the first single from her 2nd solo album. Now, I like this song. And the video’s Blade-inspired storyline is pretty cool. But Ms. Howard is known for playing SGs with 3 HBs more often than any other guitar, and in this video, she’s rocking something with 4 singlecoils. It too shadowy to see the headstock or much of the body, so I can barely guess what she’s using. The only guitar I KNOW with that configuration is a Di Pinto Galaxie 4, and it ain’t one of those. 2 Quote Sturgeon's 2nd Law, a.k.a.

I want to like that, the song and the video, more than I do. Had I just heard that somewhere, I wouldn't have recognized her voice- or recognized her by her style. She seems buried in the production, and not necessarily by volume-level within the mix. This seems very 'overproduced', and underwritten. She's certainly still got some pipes, and delivers no small performance here- this just seems like the sonic equivalent of a beloved actor center-stage surrounded by hundreds of others in a huge, complex set and an elaborate light-show, all obscuring and dwarfing our star. Maybe I exaggerate a bit- but not by too much... I love Brittany Howard, her singing voice and guitar playing and general persona. She doesn't need to remain in a previous role that's familiar to me and makes me comfortable. But she also doesn't need a lot of glitzy trendy production and all that. She's got the goods to begin with. 2 Quote Ask yourself- What Would Ren and Stimpy Do? ~ Caevan James-Michael Miller-O'Shite ~ _ ___ _ Leprechaun, Esquire _ ___ _ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hurricane hugo Posted November 13, 2023 Share Posted November 13, 2023 I found out yesterday that Cheap Trick had re-recorded the enitre In Color album with Steve Albini producing, but never released it. The re-recorded version of Hello There did get released on one of the versions of Guitar Hero or some such video game, however. This is it, and it sounds absolutely f-n MASSIVE. 2 1 Quote http://blip.fm/invite/WorkRelease Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
