Hooverphonic - The President of the LSD Golf Club

2010-10-19T12:58:00.001-05:00

Hooverphonic are a Belgian rock/pop group, formed in 1995. Though early on categorized as a trip hop group, they quickly expanded their sound to the point where they could no longer be described as a lone genre, but rather encompass alternative, electronica, electropop, rock, and mixture of others.

The President of the LSD Golf Club is the sixth studio album album of this band. The album has quite a different feel from previous Hooverphonic albums. The album was recorded with live musicians and made use of the mellotron, an electronic keyboard popularised by The Beatles' Strawberry Fields Forever. The sound of the album harks back to the psychedelic era of music but clearly retains a sense of modernity. Songs such as Expedition Impossible are also have more of a traditional rock sound, compared to the sound of earlier Hooverphonic work.

One of King’s trademarks is naming his guitar (Gibson ES335) “Lucille”. In the 1950s in a bar in Twist, Arkansas two men got into a fight, accidentally knocking over a bucket of burning kerosene (used for heating) and setting the establishment on fire. Risking his life, B.B. King ran back into the collapsing building to retrieve his guitar. King later found out that the two men had been fighting over a woman named Lucille. He named his guitar after her to remind himself never to do something so stupid again.

Pearl Jam - Hartford Concert 2010

2010-07-30T22:24:00.002-05:00

I had to wait for so many years to finally see Pearl Jam on stage, and my expectations were more than topped. They are so powerfully present, the energy of this group it's unbelievable, even at this festival gig that lasted only one and a half hours. I only saw one other band that was equally good on stage, that being Live. Turning that old military site into a music venue was a great idea, even Eddie appreciated.

The discs published in this post are of the Hartford concert, which I think was the best presentation of this tour and where the band played many songs of their lastest album, Backspacer. Enjoy it!

Over a dozen more successful and intense compilations followed.

Pompougnac released his second album Hello Mademoiselle in early 2006 after his eighth Hôtel Costes compilation.

With their remarkable third album ‘Tango 3.0’ which, without breaking such radical new ground as their debut, has refined all the founding elements of what makes the Gotan Project the wondrous thing that it is.

Dr. John lends the smooth sound of the Hammond B3 to ‘Tango Square’. The work of Argentinian author Julio Cortázar is honoured through a reading from his groundbreaking novel Rayuela (Hopscotch) on the track of the same name. Even Víctor Hugo Morales, the legendary football commentator, lends his vocals to their first single ‘La Gloria’. GOOOOOAL becomes GOOOOOTAN!

Parov Stelar - Coco

2010-04-05T22:28:00.005-05:00

Parov Stelar aka Marcus Füreder is a musician who lives and works in Linz, Austria. His style is characterized by the freedom of jazz combined with the groove of house and breakbeat. He performs as a DJ worldwide, where his sample-heavy remixes borrow enough from both modern beats and 1930s jazz as to be appropriate for both the dancefloor or the easy chair.

With his unmistakable sound-mix of Jazz- and Swing samples and electronic music, Parov Stelar has secured his own unique position in the world of music. His upcoming fourth album “Coco” is eagerly awaited. The double CD starts off where his successful LP’s “Rough Cuts”, “Seven And Storm” and “Shine” ended.

On the other hand he is consequently developing his established jazzy sound, by adding new stylistic elements to his tunes. Also his dancefloor-productions, that up to now have only been published as singles, find a debut to a greater extent on his album. They meet with Stelar’s melancholic-melodious trademark-sound, which is well known from his earlier albums, but now is also spiced up with Hip-Hop beats and synth-pads. Parov Stelar manages to build bridges between his own worlds of sound with these extensive LP as well he as he does with listening- and dance-music in general. An electrifying album to fall for.

Many fans consider the album to widely underrated with poor sales and very little media or critical attention.

The cover of the album features the back of Chris' head. He had previously not felt up to the responsibility of being a 'front man' but has since gone on to embrace this through IAMX.

Waldeck - Ballroom Stories

2010-03-23T17:01:00.002-05:00

Sometimes described as trip-hop Waldeck's songs have a very calm and laidback theme. They often consist of mellow vocals sung either by Joy Malcolm or Brian Amos (although sometimes they consist of only Waldeck's instrumentals). While some people have mixed feelings towards the male-female vocal fluctuations, others feel that they offer versatility in the sound while still maintaining the unique style of his music.

Chris Cornell Unplugged in Sweden

2010-01-21T20:42:00.006-05:00

Incredible sounding solo acoustic show with a very interesting set list. I dug Soundgarden for many years, but have long since let them to rest, and never did get into Audioslave. However, I’ve always enjoyed Cornell’s music and he proves why he is one of the great hard rock singers right here.

The set has definitely been edited as their are breaks between songs that have definitely been cut out, but as far as I can tell it is the complete show.

Thom York - Feeling Pulled Apart by Horses

2009-12-24T11:05:00.007-05:00

"Feeling Pulled Apart by Horses" and "The Hollow Earth" are songs by Thom Yorke, released as a double A-side 12-inche single on 21 September 2009, and scheduled for a download release on 6 October 2009. The vinyl was limited to 8000 copies worldwide.

Yorke revealed the release through Radiohead's online blog, "Dead Air Space", and commented that the songs are released "loosely" under his name. The first song, "Feeling Pulled Apart by Horses", was written and performed by Yorke with Radiohead guitarist Jonny Greenwood out of a song Yorke reported to have started working on at his home in 2001, and which has been played live twice—once in 2001, as a full-band "snarling metal" song and once acoustically in 2005. "The Hollow Earth" is newer by comparison, described as a "bass menace" coming out of the sessions for The Eraser.

The Dreamers

2009-12-24T08:01:00.004-05:00

The Dreamers are an Anglo/Swedish duo featuring Sarah Nyberg Pergament and Kevin Wright. Sarah has previously recorded as Action Biker and Kevin as Always and Mr. Wright. Meeting at a Swedish music festival in 2004 the pair began by writing a song “Petit Nuage” in late 2005. Encouraged by this an album began taking shape being recorded mostly in London with Sarah’s vocals being sent from Stockholm and Helsinki. The record is now finished and titled “Day for Night”. Top Swedish label Friendly Noise released it on October 2007. The band made their live debut at the Luminaire in London and more shows followed in Scandanavia.

The Dreamers influences combine many disparate elements including jazz pop and soundtrack music. Although the music is often melancholic the Dreamers hope to make (to paraphrase Michel Legrand speaking of Tom Jobim) “the sad music that makes the world a better place.”

(My song recommended for this album is Petit Nuage and So Near So Far)

Take a second to check out tracebundy.com/YouTube.html and you'll agree that Trace Bundy must be seen, not just heard.

2009-02-26T01:42:00.001-05:00

For part one of the the two DRUMLESSON albums, that CHRISTIAN PROMMER has planned to produce, he recorded 10 of his favourite dance classics as jazz interpretations. Taking his favorite dance tracks of the last two decades and transforming the energy and magic of the originals into a performance of a jazz quartet (piano, drums, perc. and bass) was quite an interesting journey for the composer/producer. All started with the idea to record an acoustic version of the DERRICK MAY classic Strings of Life to warm up for the production of his first solo album. He recorded the basic idea some time ago in his new studio on the country side near Munich. Upright piano played by ROBERTO DI GIOIA and drums by WOLFGANG HAFFNER. Thought of as a "one-off" track for the fun of it, it sat on the shelf for a long time until ALEX BARCK of the JAZZANOVA crew, came by and heard the track. Alex and the rest of the crew got so excited about this tune, playing it in their dj sets all over the world, that they soon decided to release a 12" with this track. Released in May 2007 it was a fast spreading phenomenon.
