I love me my Jenny Lewis, Sennett and Co. Who wouldn't? I was overwhelmed by the lightning-esque performance that The Spinto Band displayed, leaving my ears ringing and my laughing unhinged due to their energy, dancing and antics on stage. Remember their first release a bit back? The Delaware boys just released their 6th album, Moonwink , full of the indie-pop fun you'd expect.
Their newly designed site , formatted for their new album, almost rivals that of the Arcade Fire in terms of interaction, layout and entertainment. The Spinto boys are on tour now and if you want a night out of great music, dancing and laughter, they can deliver. The Spinto Band - Summer Grof. Labels: Spinto Band. Friday, October 10, What was that song? Blame Wes Anderson once again for infecting my head with amazing music that would have otherwise gone un-noticed.
Anderson also directed a prologue to The Darjeeling Limited titled Hotel Chevalier , which was originally left out of the film and offered for free on iTunes until the prologue's popularity made it necessary for Anderson to re-insert it with the main film.
I digress. Hotel Chevalier features a song that Jason Schwartzman casually plays as his ex-girlfriend Portman announces an unexpected visit. It also gave us a perfect setting for the scene to follow. Although the scene in which this song debuts takes place in Paris, the main movie takes place in India - an odd bridge and coupling of cultures to cover with a song, right?
Sarstedt was born in India, yet this song has that rooted Parisian, Moulin Rouge-era feel I mean, it's no surprise that Anderson yet again delivers an amazing soundtrack Sarstedt even won an Ivor Novello Award back in for his composition and songwriting. Seriously, nice hair. I love to keep track of the tiny webs of musicians that seem to keep popping up in my life, reminding me that although the music world is growing at an exponential rate, it isn't THAT huge.
I was working on a soundtrack for a video last month when I ran into their manager who provided the missing link between four bands. Back in , Nashville's Blue Merle hit the radio waves with their mandolin filled, light rock hit "Burning In the Sun.
Queue the split of Blue Merle. In the self-titled album from Vanguard Records, Reynolds plays a dozen different instruments, ranging from lap steel to guitar. According to their MySpace, Reynolds aimed to "create an album that is modern in its arrangements and soundscapes, yet a throw back to an era when songs were written and recorded in a more organic atmosphere.
Banjo , an experimental sound combining kick-ass beats with some rooted, almost bluegrass melodies. Based in Nashville, Computer Vs. Computer Vs. Banjo - Give Up On Ghosts. Monday, October 6, New Ray Lamontagne video. I think a great video can sometimes catapult an emerging artist to a much higher level.
I consider myself a huge Ray fan and luckily for him, I think a crappy and cheesy video can never extinguish a great artist. I keep watching this waiting for the "Heineken" or "Axe" logo to appear until I remember that even those companies would never let a lackluster video like this be a part of their campaign. It's a great song see a slight review on my previous post Artist Site. Posted by Bodie Johnson at AM 4 comments:. Friday, October 3, The Felice Brothers. American music. The Felice Brothers , American music.
Can't argue too much with that. I've been a bit addicted to Americana and rooted music lately as you can probably tell from my recent posts lately of Flynn, Bingham, Avett Bros.
I hadn't noticed until a co-worker called me out on it while noticing a stack of Ryan Adams albums sitting on my desk awaiting a revisit from my ears. The Felice Brothers do play American music. Not Americana or bluegrass or folk, mind you.
Music form our backbone. It's Simone Felice drums, guitar, and vocals Ian Felice lead mic and guitar , James Felice organ, piano and accordion and their buddies Christmas bass and Farley fiddle and washboard.
When they say they make "American music," they mean it. Think porch music times ten and then add some oddly looking fellas from belly of our eastern hills. Place these roughians in a scrappy bar with whiskey-soaked wooden planks for a stage and you begin to get the feeling of the brothers Felice. They were a jaw-breakin' kick-ass, beer swashin' surprise when I saw them a few months ago touring with Justin Townes Earle , yes a boy named after Van Zant and Steve's son.
It was something similar to this and yes, my toes and sandals were sopped with beer by the end of the evening.
The Felice Brothers released a self-titled album from Team Love Records last March and they're on the road again and I beg you not to miss a tour date in your neck of the woods. Not sure if the crew is still traveling around in their big, sluggish, white special education the short bus bus this go 'round.
Posted by Bodie Johnson at AM 2 comments:. Labels: The Felice Brothers. Thursday, October 2, There's still more Dylan tunes out there? Well, Happy October and L'shana tova to everyone.
The leaves are dropping, my bike riding time slot is becoming quite slim and will soon be filled with snow and skis. October is here with yet another release from Bob Dylan. It's hard to imagine an artist has enough material the he can release eight bootleg albums full of material that didn't make the cut onto his main, "released" albums.
I was hesitant to post on Dylan at first in fear of displaying some of his songs that were under lock and key. But, low-and-behold his record label has now released the CD to the "public" enough that many of the songs are already available if you know where to look.
That being said, I still encourage you to purchase this entire collection of tracks from Dylan that are either unreleased, live or alternate versions of songs that did make his major album releases. I tend to enjoy these "raw" albums from Dylan's vault more than many of his released albums due to their jagged edges that make for more of a living-room-performance feel to many of them.
One great example is on this album with Dylan's alternate version of his recent single, "Someday Baby. On this gorgeous down-tempo blues tune, everything seems to be revealed as Dylan's graveled voice and strumming is only backed by Daniel Lanois' simple riffs on electric guitar. Bob Dylan - Mississippi unreleased. Labels: Bob Dylan.
Wednesday, October 1, Brusha Brusha Brusha. Sorry for the sub-par post today I was at home all night nursing a sore jaw. Not to let you know too much about me, but I consider myself a well kept young man. I brush twice a day, floss a few times a week and even bought myself a tongue cleaner! Never even had a cavity for the first few dacades of my life! I had some work done and I'm a sore pup on Vicodin and will get back to the music soon.
In the meantime, I leave you with some Dentistry and oral entertainment. And I'm not talking dirty either!
