</div>
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We are all born with gifts. With the ability to write, to
sing, to master multiple instruments, to summon community and make us all throw
our heads back in laughter, John Craigie is the embodiment of gifts and wit. His
knack for writing music, founded in both the truth and humor of the human
condition, often gives him the depiction of “a modern day troubadour.” But as a
graduate with a degree in math from UC Santa Cruz, an avid reader, and a long-time
world traveler, it seems that John is much more than his self-deprecating quips
would lead one to believe. Craigie is not only an intelligent and skilled
performer, but also kind of a party thrower. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The vibe of his concerts allows one to imagine a scene in
his living room: friends bantering back and forth, laughing, him strumming his
guitar, singing, breathing new life into a harmonica. When I first read his
quote, “It’s about transparency… really good music doesn’t make you feel good:
it makes you feel like you’re not alone,” I didn’t know what that truly meant. Now
I understand. John Craigie reminds us of why it is great to be alive. And even
though he insists that "a folk singer’s ideal is a dark room full of people who
have recently been dumped,” he did a pretty good job of reminding us that we
are together, and if we laugh and listen to music, we’re all going to be
just fine.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Craigie’s most recent album Scarecrow was released in April
2018, preceded by his live album “Opening for Steinbeck” (2018) and No Rain, No
Rose (2017), with multiple tracks featuring his good friend and fellow musician
Gregory Alan Isakov. He also recently toured with Jack Johnson in 2017 and
earned acclaim from AXS, SF Weekly, the Seattle Times, and more. <o:p></o:p></div>

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">And now, a brief and
personal interview with John Craigie:<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Me</b>: Hey John.
Thanks for letting me interview you today! So, as you head out for the rest of
your tour all over the US, Canada, and the UK this year, what kinds of things
do you do to continue feeling inspired?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">John</b>: I really
like talking to folks at the merch table and most importantly, letting things
happen to me. Sometimes when you’re on tour, it can be easy to get bogged down by
always being “on the go.” I try to allow myself to be present, to see where
situations take me, and then that ends up bringing me inspiration. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Also, I try to make a point to stay well-informed on current
events, especially in the areas where I’m performing. That way if I tell a
story or write a song about what’s happening in the world, it will be relevant
to those particular people. Much the same way that artists in the 60’s and 70’s
wrote about the political climate or the state of the world. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Me: </b>If you could
have one other music artist (living or dead) to dinner, who would you choose
and why?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">John: </b>I would
choose Woody Guthrie. I’d want to ask him what he did any time he broke a
string on tour because back in those days there weren’t very many music stores.
I imagine he would’ve had to play with 4 strings sometimes and just make the
most of it. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Also, I love his autobiography,
it’s my favorite book, so I’d ask him about that too.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Or maybe I’d ask Nina Simone to have a meal with me,
although that dinner would be pretty wild.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Me: </b>What’s one of
your most treasured early music memories?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">John: </b>I didn’t really
grow up being exposed to music in my home, so I sought it out on my own tirelessly.
I remember the beginning too, when it all started. One of my good childhood
friends played music and put a guitar in my hands. He said “Here. You should learn
how to play this, too. You can do it … really, it’s possible.” I realize
looking back that sometimes that’s all you need is for someone to say that you
are capable, that something you want to do <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">is
</i>possible and that simple statement ends up changing everything. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Me: </b>What have you
been listening to lately when you get home after a long day?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">John: </b>I’ve been
listening to a lot of groove lately. A lot of Bill Withers. And Nina Simone,
too. Lots of vinyl.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Me: </b>What 3
comedians would you want to have over for dinner?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">John: </b>I really
like Steve Martin, George Carlin, Richard Pryor. I like these comedians in particular
because I think their humor is based on “the truth,” which I try to emulate and
am realizing more and more is so important. <o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Me: </b>What music
did you listen to as a child of the 90’s?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">John: </b>I listened
to Pearl Jam, saw Pearl Jam live a few times, which was amazing. Everclear, Sheryl
Crow, Matchbox 20, Goo Goo Dolls, Counting Crows. Anything Americana. <o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Me: </b>How was living on Gregory Alan Isakov’s farm?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">John: </b>I didn’t actually live on his farm, but there were definitely nights where I ended up sleeping on his couch. He’s an amazing musician, and a great friend.</div>
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Me: </b>Thanks again
for the interview, John. Great to meet you and hopefully we will catch you in
Portland again soon!<o:p></o:p><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
Nina Simone. The embodiment of gospel, jazz, R&B, soul …
and sass. God bless you if you experienced her poetic vocal ecstasy, good luck
if you were on her bad side. Her improvisational genius and razor sharp edge
fueled the defiance she needed to climb her way through the 1960’s music scene,
despite it also cutting through numerous relationships in her life. At a time
when female talent was chronically stifled by subservience, Nina became a
symbol of power for black women – she charged through the music world marching
to the beat of her own resonant drum: loud, clear and for the whole damn world
to hear. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
Nina (whose real name was actually Eunice Kathleen Waymon)
was the son of a preacher from North Carolina. She sore to the sun not only as
a musician, but also as a civil rights activist. With dreams of a career as a
concert pianist, she molded her life to her ambition. When the time came for
her to audition at the Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia, she nailed it.
Her tryout was received with wide-eyed veneration, only for her to eventually
find out she had been rejected based on race. [To make up for it, the Curtis
Institute awarded her an honorary degree years later, two days before she
died of breast cancer in 2003.] But, music was her love. And as Rumi reminds us:<o:p></o:p></div>

human being. If not, leave this gathering. Half-heartedness doesn’t reach into
majesty.</span>”<o:p></o:p></div>

Nina pressed on.<span style="font-family: "calibri"; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

As she continued to aspire to new musical heights,
incorporating jazz, blues and “cocktail piano,” her parents’ disapproval grew,
too. Eunice was playing “the devil’s music,” according to her family, thus
leading her to change her name to Nina Simone as a disguise. In Atlantic City
nightclubs, she entranced listeners with piano prowess, but was not allowed a
vocal accompaniment. They said, “Sorry ma’am, we don’t have anyone for you. If
you want to play here, you have to sing it yourself.” So she began singing as
her own jazz accompaniment – a steep artistic challenge that launched her career
as a jazz vocalist. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Eventually, Simone was named the 29<sup>th</sup> greatest
singer of all time by <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Rolling Stone </i>and
one of the most influential recording artists of the 20<sup>th</sup> century by
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">The Irish Times. </i>She sold over a
million albums, was inducted into the North Carolina Music Hall of Fame in 2009
and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2018. <o:p></o:p></div>

<b><br /></b><span style="font-family: "calibri"; font-size: 12pt;"><b>How I imagine an interview with Marcus King would go:</b></span></h3>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Interviewer</b>: So,
how did you come up with your unique sound? Where do you find the creative
space to make your music?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Musician response</b>:
The music was already there – it just came through me. I guess you could say I'm a muse. It already existed in the universe and I am a medium through which it manifests.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<b>Marcus King</b> is a conduit for divine
sound. Whatever might be his other talents, which I am sure are many, King was
put on this earth to channel music. As his fingertips glide over the slender
neck of his grandfather’s burgundy 1962 Gibson ES-345, he sings the blues of a man
who’s been alive on this earth for much longer than 21 years. Strife, sorrow,
heartache, love and joy. Blues ballads of a rapturous, yet painful at times, wondrous
life. He gets it.<o:p></o:p><br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
His voice and microphone finesse
are nothing short of prodigy art, as Warren Haynes, Susan Tedeschi, and Derek
Trucks I know would attest. He is “the anointed one” of the upcoming
generation, and anyone who says “all the good musicians have died” has not been
digging into the music scene long enough. And they most certainly have not seen
Marcus King live. Marcus moves his crowd to tears, or at the very least,
wide-eyed enchantment. <o:p></o:p><br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
We showed up to his $19 ticket
concert ready to rock, which we did, and we danced. But when it all was said
and done, and we had cut a rug to our hearts’ content, all we
could do was stand there, watching him in awe with arms crossed and mouths
agape. This Greenville South Carolina native is what we’ve all been waiting
for. His talent is taking the world by storm. Suffice it to say it <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">almost</i> made me feel a little less grief
about Duane Allman dying so young in a motorcycle accident because whatever
Duane left behind, Marcus is surely picking up and RUNNING with it.<o:p></o:p><br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As I watched Marcus King beguile the audience,
I could see Stevie Ray Vaughn, Etta James, Jimi Hendrix, Duane and Greg Allman
and so many other late musicians looking upon him, smiling.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
“Let there be music,” they’re
saying from heaven, “and let it explode through the heart, voice, and fingertips of Marcus King.”<o:p></o:p></div>

Railroad Earth represents all the types of music that we
wish we were able to experience in the 1960’s. During a time when The
Band-loving hippies of yesteryear swayed in unison with their eyes closed to
Levon Helm’s ballads, when the Beatles left listeners sobbing over the lack of
unity in the world, when folks stomped the wood of New Orleans porches to the
beat of a steel string and the twang of a banjo. Known for their extensive
improvisation and seamless narratives, Railroad Earth takes listeners on a
journey through all of life’s emotions. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Nobody puts baby in a corner, or Railroad Earth in a box. Railroad
Earth transcends the depths of acoustic, lyrical and sensory bliss, not
dimension a light show that rivals visual connoisseurs, like PHISH and Pretty
Lights. Their fractals are off the chain. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
Vocalist and songwriter, Todd Schaeffer, had been writing
lyrics for songs his entire life. When Todd found Tim Carbone (violins), John
Skehan (mandolin, piano), Andy Goessling (acoustic guitar, banjo) and Carey
Harmon (drums, percussion) they formed the perfect quintuplet for success. In
no time at all, they added Andrew Altman (upright bass), named themselves “Railroad
Earth” after Jack Kerouac’s short story “October in the Railroad Earth,” and
took to the festival circuit. Not surprisingly, they played at the Telluride
Bluegrass festival in the first year of their tour and were offered a record
deal by Sugar Hill Records on the spot.<o:p></o:p></div>

Reggae is a musical genre with Jamaican roots dating back to
the 1960’s. Before that time, reggae was in its infancy, gaining
influence from calypso, American jazz, rhythm, blues, New Orleans R & B and
even artists like Fats Domino (pretty cool, huh?). Reggae blossomed into a
genre of its own and evolved further out of ska and rocksteady to become the
unique sound style it is today.<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Reggae is a musical method that is heavily reliant on the
bass guitar as percussion. Peppered elements of African music, jazz, and blues
interweave, while performers characteristically sing of political woes,
religion, social criticism, and love’s confusion. An often off-beat rhythm and
upbeat tempo create a thick, yet buoyant musical texture that transports the
listener to an easy breezy beachy place.<o:p></o:p></div>

For a large part of his life, Magic Slim’s music was vastly
underrated. Gradually, as his fans outweighed his detractors, people became
captivated by Slim’s off-the-cuff shredfests. “Blues Band of the Year” awards began
pouring in … year, after year, after year and now, he is a legend. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
His intricate licks satiate the bellies of his blues-hungry
listeners, while his soulful vibrato takes us back to his roots – the front
porches, docks, and swamps of Grenada Mississippi.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The son of sharecroppers, Magic Slim grew up
in Mississippi playing piano until he lost his little finger in a cotton gin
accident. Despite being down a pinky, he didn’t miss a beat and picked up the
bass and guitar. Slim matured into renowned Chicago Blues artist, with <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Scufflin </i>(1998), <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Snakebite</i> (2000), and <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Blue</i>
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Magic</i> (2002) as some of his most
celebrated albums.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
Check out the “Blues Legends: Magic Slim” compilation album
on Spotify. Without a single skip-worthy track, it’ll satisfy any blues
appetite. And it pairs beautifully with a glass of single malt scotch.</div>

<b>Caravan Palace & Swing<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
French electro-swing masters, Caravan Palace, topped the
charts in Europe in 2009 with their album <i>Caravan
Palace </i>for 68 straight weeks<i>. </i>Alas,
it was only a matter of time before their music captivated lower-body-dancing Lindy-Hop-loving Americans. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Musical historians, like Caravan Palace, take us back to the
origins of swing music – Harlem in the 1930s. African Americans, with knocking
ankles and twisting torsos, flung dance partners over their lower backs and hips in
attics and smokey underground music venues. What began as improvisation turned
into a new contagion of expression called “swing.” Originally referred to simply as “the
jitterbug,” swing music took hold of Harlem in the 30’s and exploded. Now, it
has resurfaced in millennials that revel in music’s gift of time travel.<br />

<!--EndFragment--></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Moral of the story? Listen to Caravan Palace and dance the
colors of the wind. Your free-style dancing in the attic, with equally liberated pals, could change the music of a century. <o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
These days, it seems that in order to appear on the legitometer, you should have at least one experimental album recorded on a 1980s 8-track recorder, preferably in someone's basement. Luckily, Dr. Dog has this distinction under its belt. And although they've been around since 2006, Dr. Dog's recognition has kicked up serious momentum recently, from appearing on Conan and Jimmy Fallon, to touring the US for their new album "Be The Void" in 2012. Those who attended the show at the Paradise in Boston came back with opinions that were nothing short of sensational. The caliber of their timbre and breadth of their talent is also more than you can shake a stick at. If you haven't heard them yet, be sure to check them out.<br />

<b>The Lumineers</b><br />
<br />
Originally from New Jersey, Jeremiah Fraites and Wesley Schultz decided to pack their car full of musical instruments and move to Denver. Once established, they snagged cellist Neyla Pekarek through a craigslist posting, and thus became The Lumineers. After discovering them today, I've sifted through a decent amount of their youtube discography and found myself clicking the repeat button all afternoon. It's no surprise they won "Best Surrounding Area Band" in the 2009 Hoboken Music Awards. The only thing missing, as I listen to their music, is an outdoor barbeque, clapping hands, stomping feet, and a massive group of people dancing and singing along. I think that Eric Eyl of the Denver Post put it well when he described them as "Disarmingly simple, sincere music that’s as raggedy and ramshackle as it is heartfelt and human."<br />

<br />
If you ever see Frank Zappa: Hot Rats at a record store, BUY IT (and send it to me). I've been keeping my eye out for it forever and still have not found it. This album is amazing, and this is my favorite song off it. (Thanks Andy K)<br />

<b>Dub Apocalypse</b><br />
We used to reminisce about the "best reggae night ever," put on by Thievery Corporation on Wednesdays at 18th Street Lounge in Washington, DC. And while the Boston music scene has been nothing short of remarkable, the reggae scene has struggled. Or so I thought. To my admitted ignorance and unanticipated glee, there was reggae distilling like a 30 year-old scotch in the basement of Storyville every Wednesday night, right under our noses.
This past Wednesday, we sucked up our haggard aspirations of getting to work on time in the morning, and decided to check out Dub Apocalypse at Storyville. What we found blew 18th Street Lounge out of the water.<br />
<br />
"We'll stay for an hour and then peace out."
Whoa be tide our naivete! We came for a musical breakfast and then stayed all day.
To think of leaving left us laughing, we tried more than once.
But there was no leaving once listening,
this was the best music in months.
Rappers with laudable limericks, defining
eccentric.
The lineup was funkadelic, fire on the mountain, authentic.
Oh and the guitars? insane.
The kind where you walk in a dull boy
and leave a Maggot Brain.
And a saxophone,
like methadone, made us grin with delight.
This Wednesday gem so unprecedented
only a poem would suffice.<br />
<br />
Dub Apocalypse at 10pm on Wednesdays, FREE at Storyville. Be there. Or be a boring old square.<br />
<br />
And here are some other fun ones I've come across that I've encountered recently and enjoyed.

One strange chick I remember from somewhere, wearing a simple skirt with pockets, her hands in there, short haircut, slouched, talking to everybody. Up and down the stairs they come. The bartenders are the regular band of Jack, and the heavenly drummer who looks up in the sky with blue eyes, with a beard, is wailing beer-caps of bottles and jamming on the cash register and everything is going to the beat.

Although I have only seen an Elephant 6 collective performance once, afterwards it had me looking around the room at inanimate objects, wondering what kind of instruments they could become. For example, one of the performances featured Christmas songs played with a bow and saw, a tiny piano (think 7 inches high and 10 inches long), and a Santa with knobby boots for percussion. You never know. Of Montreal is also known for traversing genres as wide as vaudeville, electronica, funk, glam, indie-pop, afrobeat, twee pop, and psychedelic. And don’t be surprised if you find yourself bouncing around the room to whimsically vulgar lyrics. Musical oxymorons can be quite addicting.<br /><br /><iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/VHFUXH4PP5c" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Trampled by Turtles</span><br />Where: The Paradise <br />When: April 18th <br />Price: $20<br /><br />Tortugas!!!!! After taking one Trampled by Turtles album out of the library (<span style="font-style:italic;">Palomino</span>), I’m already a devoted fan. Trampled by Turtles offers an energy-infused dose of Duluth, Minnesota. Their fifth album release, <span style="font-style:italic;">Palomino</span>, remained on the Billboard bluegrass charts for 52 straight weeks, so we can expect that their album release this coming April will be nothing short of glorious. You’d be wise to check them out when they come to The Paradise on April 18th. Sources say they do not disappoint. Ever. Plus, to be Trampled by Turtles would be the cutest trampling EVER!<br /><br /><iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/jDR2HML8DJ8" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Rubblebucket</span> <br />Where: The Paradise<br />When: May 4th <br />Price: $15<br /><br /><br />Rubblebucket is categorized as an “American indie dance band from Brooklyn NY,” although categorizing them presents a conundrum. Known for their exuberant experimentation with orchestral sound, as well as a staunch dedication to entertainment and theatrics, it's no wonder that people struggle to describe Rubblebucket as anything other than, well, everything. The theme of being “blown away” seems to be a common thread in Rubblebucket reviews. With the trumpet and saxophone players from John Brown’s Body (Alex Toth and Kalmia Traver) and percussionist Craig Myers, Rubblebucket was dubbed “A Must Hear Artist” by SPIN magazine in 2009 and won a Boston Music Award for Live Act of the Year in 2011. Get your tickets quickly though folks! Last time they played at the Paradise, the show sold out, leaving many of us painfully intrigued and melancholy about the fun we were missing.<br /><br />Suffice it to say I am obsessed with the song: “Came out of a lady”<br /><iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/8t2-rJo5bdw" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Otis Grove </span><br />Where: Church<br />When: every Tuesday in March<br />Price: Free!!<br /><br />If you enjoy electric guitar riffs that blow like a breeze through your hair, special guests, Hammond organ, drums, and massive amounts of real shredding, then check out Otis Grove. They will be gracing Boston with their presence every Tuesday at Church throughout the entire month of March. <br /><br /><iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/g49anqUTUPI" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br /><br /><br /><br />Change in schedule!<br />First Aid Kit – this show got moved from Brighton Music Hall to the ParadiseJ.L.A.http://www.blogger.com/profile/05507085870623305405noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1007515687137510776.post-33733129263150986602012-03-01T21:16:00.008-05:002012-03-01T21:50:06.798-05:00It’s not my tune, but it’s mine to use.<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://userserve-ak.last.fm/serve/500/23167669/The+Blind+Boys+of+Alabama+BWBlindBoys.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 500px; height: 324px;" src="http://userserve-ak.last.fm/serve/500/23167669/The+Blind+Boys+of+Alabama+BWBlindBoys.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br /><br />To assure yourself that you will sit down to write, you have to cook risotto. It’s impossible to accurately predict the timing. As I sit with my computer next to the stove, cooking mushroom, asparagus, and salmon risotto with gruyere, heavy cream, and a tad of cheddar, I’ve decided to do a rundown of the concerts coming up in Boston in the near future. There are MANY. So be READY. and willing…<br /><br /><br />First up: <br /><br />1. Perpetual Groove<br />Where: The Middle East<br />When: March 22nd and 23rd <br />Price: $12<br /><br />For the price and the quality of music, no one should have an excuse for not seeing Perpetual Groove. Real Savannah Georgia flare in the North East. It may be safe to say that this is one of those bands that, 30 years from now, us old-timers will be saying “I remember when I used to be able to see Perpetual Groove for $12!!!” Known for their genre mosaic of originals and covers, Perpetual Groove prides itself on the diehard fans they create at every concert. Without getting too detailed, I’ll finish by asserting that after this show, any newbie would be rare to not run home and add PGroove to their itunes repertoire. <br /><br /><br />Teakwood Betz<br /><iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/OsYrBZqucpE" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br /><br /><br />2. First Aid Kit<br /><br />Where: Brighton Music Hall<br />When: April 2nd <br />Price: $15<br /><br />If I told you I wasn’t going to see this band based on the credibility of this song, I’d be lying. But if this doesn’t pull you into a trance, what will? A video cover of the Fleet Foxes song “Tiger Mountain Peasant Song” made this duo of sisters, from Sweden, a sensation. After their youtube video was a massive hit, they went on to perform the song with the Fleet Foxes for a concert in Holland. And now here they are coming to Boston. So check them out. And show them love.<br /><br /><iframe width="100%" height="166" scrolling="no" frameborder="no" src="http://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Ftracks%2F27166863&show_artwork=true"></iframe><br /><br />And if you’re curious about the video that lead to their fame, here it is:<br /><br /><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HMrqBldlqzA">First Aid Kit breakthrough video</a><br /><br /><br />3. The Blind Boys of Alabama<br /><br />Where: Berkley Performance Center<br />When: March 23rd <br />Price: $28-37<br /><br />To even try to list the number of accolades received by the Blind Boys of Alabama would take a massive scroll, and a quill. And a little medieval scribe suit. Literally. Because they began performing in 1939. Think: countless Grammys, Gospel Music Hall of Fame, Lifetime Achievement Award, movie soundtracks, show soundtracks (The Wire), White House Performances, and God knoooows the list goes on, child! Hallelujah! <br /><br /><iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/HOiquKuoDac" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br /><br /><br />4. The Infamous Stringdusters<br /><br />Where: The Paradise<br />When: March 15th <br />Price: $15<br /><br />If you like to do-si-do, then imagine these guys in an intimate venue like the Paradise. It’s bound to be nonstop fun and will undoubtedly leave you walking home tired, all danced out, and in a very good mood. Why? Because that’s what a fiddle, standing base, banjo, and mandolin do, they make people happy.<br /><br /><br /><iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/kC_Wu55npi0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br /><br />There were too many concerts coming up to make one blog out of… so there will be more to come…J.L.A.http://www.blogger.com/profile/05507085870623305405noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1007515687137510776.post-91008959430999708442012-01-19T13:52:00.010-05:002012-01-19T14:31:07.608-05:00And as I said, I slept as though dead, dreaming seamless dreams of lead.<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.folkradio.co.uk/offbeat/wp-content/uploads/joanna-newsom_ys_cover.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 478px; height: 304px;" src="http://www.folkradio.co.uk/offbeat/wp-content/uploads/joanna-newsom_ys_cover.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">The Lovely Joanna Newsom</span><br /><br />After checking out the instrument exhibit at the Museum of Fine Arts recently, which was eye-opening, the discovery of a modern folk Appalachian, yet medieval, harpist sparked my interest. Joanna Newsom, aside from being incredibly talented, original, and independent, has captivated thousands with her soothing, sometimes bizarre, voice and poetic lyrics. Raised in Nevada City, California by two doctors that would not allow her to watch TV or listen to the radio, Joanna discovered music through her parents' personal musicianship. From a very young age, Joanna began playing the piano, followed by the harp. Describing her harp as "an artificial wheelchair or limb," it seems that through the harp, Joanna found an extension of her soul, a quality easily palatable with one listen. Since she began recording in 2002, Joanna has gained considerable recognition. She has also had the honor of having her original compositions covered by other well known artists, such as The Decemberists, M. Ward, and Young Canadian Mothers. Recently, she was chosen by Jeff Magnum, lead singer of the band Neutral Milk Hotel, to perform at the "All Tomorrow's Parties" festival in England. After watching her perform, it will suffice to say that she is a breath of fresh melodic air. And on a side note, she must have a good sense of humor, because she is currently dating SNL's favorite goofball, Andy Samberg.<br /><br /><br />My favorite song of Joanna's that I have heard thus far:<br />Clam crab cockle cowrie<br /><iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/hVx_kVtFI9E" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br /><br /><br />Peach plum pear<br /><iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/Xg0kRNTtoZ4" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br /><br /><br />And this kind of intrigued me, kind of freaked me out...<br />CocoRosie-Lemonade<br /><iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/tu3EcAHdHlE" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>J.L.A.http://www.blogger.com/profile/05507085870623305405noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1007515687137510776.post-45974615897966655032012-01-10T14:30:00.010-05:002012-01-12T15:43:48.120-05:00Music survives everything, and like God, it is always present. It needs no help, and suffers no hindrance.<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.kettering.edu/physics/drussell/Asterix/photos/Egypt-music.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 511px; height: 310px;" src="http://www.kettering.edu/physics/drussell/Asterix/photos/Egypt-music.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br /><br />Standing around during a set break at Dark Star Orchestra a month or so ago, I was having a nice leisurely conversation with this guy, probably in his mid forties. As DSO walked back over to their mics, the guy leaned over and said to me, "There are no good bands anymore. Not since the Dead. No one plays like this ... it's sad, but the good music is all gone." I stood beside him and stared at the band for a moment. Really? Wait let me think about this... Of course 107.9 flashed through my head with Kei$ha, Britney, and tired-out Black Eyed Peas tunes, which would surely fit under his description of music being washed up. But then I thought about The Blind Boys of Alabama, Avett Brothers, PHISH, Derek Trucks Band, Susan Tedeschi, Carolina Chocolate Drops, Drake, String Cheese Incident, Jay-Z, Umphrey's McGee, Blue Scholars, and good lord so many others my head went a-twirling. With the music starting again, I quickly replied, "I've got to tell you. I don't think you could be any more wrong. There are so many game-changing bands out there these days, I can HARDLY keep up. And I average like 30 concerts a year, maybe more." At this, he looked at me, eyebrows raised, eyes wide, with a huge gappy smile, and said "That is the most reassuring thing you could have possibly said." Then we interpretive-danced our way away from each other, giving an enthusiastic high-five and returned to our own groups of friends. The End.<br /><br />Moral of the story: Here are some bands playing NOW that are marvelous. Yeah, they may not be the Grateful Dead, but we live in a different time. The ebb and flow and evolution of genres does not mean that talent is disintegrating. The commercial market is not swallowing every good musician up and turning them into a drone. The truth is that awe-inspiring music will prevail as long as human beings have access to sound. <br /><br /><br /><br />I hope this doesn't freeze your computers... I have a few to share... <br /><br /><br />This new album, "Who Kill" by tUnE-yArDs is getting a LOT of recognition.

But there is one faculty that is truly impressive and often overlooked, and that is the ability to write music and make up folklore about fictional/historical characters that do not exist in reality. One band that masters this is the Decemberists. According to a story in <span style="font-style:italic;">Unfold Magazine</span> in April 2011, The Decemberists, known for encouraging audience participation, made their audience scream as if they were being eaten by a whale, as the band members pretended to die onstage to their song “The Mariners Revenge.” And while there is something to be said about writing a song about love, your life, or the world, there is also deep creativity that goes into writing a detailed song about a mariner being eaten by a sea creature.<br /><br />As a side note, it happens to be coincidence that I am featuring another band out of Portland, Oregon, although Portland does churn out great artists. If you have not heard much from The Decemberists, absolutely check them out and have your ears tuned to the sounds of acoustic guitar, Hammond organ, base guitar, accordion, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melodica">melodica</a>, piano, keyboards, harmonica, tambourine, standing base, and whatever myriad instruments they have up there. You never know. But, with The Decemberists, anything goes.<br /><br />The Mariners Revenge, thanks Alyssa<br /><iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/5Sw61oITuts" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br /><br />Rox in the Box<br /><iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/-Waz7PMZHeg" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br /><br />and if you enjoy Salsa, here's some Latin flare I've been enjoying... <br /><br />Oye Manita<br /><object height="81" width="100%"> <param name="movie" value="https://player.soundcloud.com/player.swf?url=http%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Ftracks%2F31139497"></param> <param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param> <embed allowscriptaccess="always" height="81" src="https://player.soundcloud.com/player.swf?url=http%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Ftracks%2F31139497" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="100%"></embed> </object> <span><a href="http://soundcloud.com/thebeatbox-arconti/06-oye-manita">06 Oye Manita</a> by <a href="http://soundcloud.com/thebeatbox-arconti">jarconti@gmail.com</a></span>J.L.A.http://www.blogger.com/profile/05507085870623305405noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1007515687137510776.post-75272887005133939082011-12-17T09:47:00.007-05:002011-12-17T13:14:40.631-05:00Go ahead and tell 'em that you heard me on the dirty radio.<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://blahblahblahscience.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/sallieford.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 570px; height: 378px;" src="http://blahblahblahscience.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/sallieford.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Sallie Ford and the Sound Outside</span><br /><br />If you're a music lover who also enjoys a bit of time travel, Sallie Ford and the Sound Outside will strike your fancy. Clever lyrical quips, twisty base-lines, and unpredictable vocal inflections make listening to Sallie Ford and the Sound Outside passively interactive and just plain fun. I recommend listening to their album straight through from start to finish. Sallie Ford is original for our time in offering us a kind of "Snoop Dogg inspired" rockabilly hip-hop. Hopefully, we will get a taste of their retro-soul in the NorthEast in 2012, and you can be assured that when I hear they are coming back to Boston, I will most certainly be letting you know.<br /><br />Lyrics to "I Swear"<br />When I turn on the radio <br />It all sounds the same <br />What have these people done to music <br />They just don't care anymore <br />Chorus: <br />Well, I swear I'll always say the wrong thing <br />Even if they never play my music on the radio <br />'Cause I can't help but be a mess <br />I'll never be like the rest <br />I couldn't, even if I tried <br />What is this robot sounding bullshit <br />They just don't care anymore <br />Why don't we get rid of all of the people <br />And we can sell our souls to the man <br />(Chorus) <br />Go ahead and tell 'em that you heard me on the dirty radio<br /><br /><img style="visibility:hidden;width:0px;height:0px;" border=0 width=0 height=0 src="http://c.gigcount.com/wildfire/IMP/CXNID=2000002.0NXC/bT*xJmx*PTEzMjQwNzU4NzUwNDkmcHQ9MTMyNDA3NTg4MTEwOSZwPTI3MDgxJmQ9Jmc9MiZvPTgyOTBiOTQ4YzAzYjQ1MGZhNWUw/NjY4YzJkZDI5ZThiJm9mPTA=.gif" /><br /><object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" width="352" height="264"><param name="movie" value="http://cache.reverbnation.com/widgets/swf/40/pro_widget.swf?id=artist_1036006&skin_id=PWAS1002&border_color=000000"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><param name="allowNetworking" value="all"></param><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true"></param><param name="wmode" value="opaque"></param><param name="quality" value="best"></param><embed src="http://cache.reverbnation.com/widgets/swf/40/pro_widget.swf?id=artist_1036006&skin_id=PWAS1002&border_color=000000" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowNetworking="all" allowfullscreen="true" wmode="opaque" quality="best" width="352" height="264" FlashVars="gig_lt=1324075875049&gig_pt=1324075881109&gig_g=2"></embed> <param name="FlashVars" value="gig_lt=1324075875049&gig_pt=1324075881109&gig_g=2" /></object><br/><br /><img style="visibility:hidden;width:0px;height:0px;" border=0 width=0 height=0 src="http://www.reverbnation.com/widgets/trk/40/artist_1036006//t.gif" /><img src="http://b.scorecardresearch.com/p?c1=2&c2=10349858&cv=2.0&cj=1" style="display: none" border="0" height="1" width="1" alt="ComScore"/><br /><br /><br />And if you're not a fan of the 50s, well here's a pretty solid little remix for ya...<br /><iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/R_rQ3ZfO9F4" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br />Thanks WillJ.L.A.http://www.blogger.com/profile/05507085870623305405noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1007515687137510776.post-5361717657681359132011-11-10T17:31:00.006-05:002011-11-13T11:30:06.155-05:00Our house likes to hit us with this beat.<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.gocontinental.com/photos/madness.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 250px; height: 251px;" src="http://www.gocontinental.com/photos/madness.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br />Avicii- Levels.

The formation of a rap group. Based in Seatlle Washington, Blue Scholars (a pun on the term "Blue Collar"), have significantly contributed to the rap culture revival in a city in which hip hop had become a flicker more than vestigial. DJ Sabzi and MC Geologic, the group duo, not only put out great music, but also lead activism empowering youth, minorities, and even communities nationally and worldwide. Incorporating unique instrumentals (such as horns) and multi-media elements to their sound, Blue Scholars attune your ears to sonic quality not normally encountered in today's main stream hip hop. In recent years, they have been given top votes including Best Album, Best Single, and Best Hip Hop Artist in Seattle's weekly awards polls. Combining social consciousness with action, lyricism with authenticity, and true talent with modesty, this is a rarity of a rap group the future was hoping to see. What could possibly make this group any better? The fact that they're performing at the Paradise in Boston on Thursday November 10th. <br /><br /><br />No Rest for the Weary (thanks Jamie)<br /><iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/JIqMIrmpUjc" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br /><br /><br />North by Northwest<br /><iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/eKLgaLBhx68" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br /><br /><br />And some another sweet little jam<br /><br />Mountain Aire - New Monsoon (thanks Fox)<br /><a class="my_play my_27" title="Mountain Air" href="http://www.myspace.com/newmonsoon/music/songs/mountain-air-26224009" style="display:inline-block;margin:0;padding:0;border:0;width:27px;height:27px;overflow:hidden;text-indent:-9999px;background:url(http://x.myspacecdn.com/modules/common/static/img/playbuttonsprite.png) no-repeat 0 -85px;">Mountain Air</a><script defer="true" src="http://www.myspace.com/music/buttons/js"></script>J.L.A.http://www.blogger.com/profile/05507085870623305405noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1007515687137510776.post-69720134752549584412011-10-25T11:03:00.014-04:002011-10-25T18:17:50.121-04:00Harry: Those skis yours?

An interesting story line, this 27 year old multi-talent has dipped his diversity thumb into writing for 30 Rock, acting on the show <span style="font-style:italic;">Community</span>, performing solo stand-up comedy, and signing as rapper Childish Gambino with Glassnote Records. He may not be the wittiest or most novel rapper on the lyrical front, but what he lacks in poetic volubility, he makes up for in animation and charisma. And while I am honestly not a big fan of his music thus far (too many awkward "f*ckin'" verbal crutches and repetitive verses about texting), I will be looking forward to his upcoming album, <span style="font-style:italic;">Camp</span>, to be released in November, and of course his stand up comedy tours. <br /><br />Childish Gambino's best work thus far, in my opinion...<br /><object height="81" width="100%"> <param name="movie" value="http://player.soundcloud.com/player.swf?url=http%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Ftracks%2F10970279"></param> <param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param> <embed allowscriptaccess="always" height="81" src="http://player.soundcloud.com/player.swf?url=http%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Ftracks%2F10970279" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="100%"></embed> </object> <span><a href="http://soundcloud.com/p3wbz/childish-gambino-freaks-and">Childish Gambino - Freaks and Geeks</a> by <a href="http://soundcloud.com/p3wbz">P3WBZ</a></span> <br /><br /><br />I don't know what's better, the rap itself or George's exasperated face in this video of Glover free-styling...<br /><br /><iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/ECkHqKaHdjg" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br /><br /><br />And other genres...<br /><br />Here's a free flowing tune I'd been enjoying recently by Max Sledgley entitled "Slowly"<br /><object height="81" width="100%"> <param name="movie" value="http://player.soundcloud.com/player.swf?url=http%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Ftracks%2F6688202"></param> <param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param> <embed allowscriptaccess="always" height="81" src="http://player.soundcloud.com/player.swf?url=http%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Ftracks%2F6688202" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="100%"></embed> </object> <span><a href="http://soundcloud.com/sublime-music/slowly-by-max-sedgley">Slowly by Max Sedgley</a> by <a href="http://soundcloud.com/sublime-music">Sublime Music</a></span>J.L.A.http://www.blogger.com/profile/05507085870623305405noreply@blogger.com0
