Critics’ Choice – New Music From Cassandra Wilson Emmylou Harris and…
New York Times – Jun 9, 2008
The rest are more like a jazz student’s idea of standards. There are two well-prepared duets both killers: “Spring Can Really Hang You Up the Most” with acoustic guitar and “The Very Thought of You” with acoustic bass. Much of the music transmits the feeling that the engineer pressed the record button in the middle of a jam session in which everyone was happily hanging behind the beat. Occasionally you hear some kind of clinking maybe from Ms. Wilson’s bracelet; she gooses the rhythm section with grunts the way she might on a gig or wanders off microphone and sings a few lines to the walls. Naturalism is the idea but this is a beautifully constructed record from Mr. Moran’s blenderized genre-defying piano solos to Ms… Harris recorded “All I Intended to Be” in bits and pieces over the past three years. She enlisted her old producer Brian Ahern who also plays some guitar parts; among those contributing background vocals are the McGarrigles Buddy Miller and.
We Versus The Shark Interview
NPR – Jun 9, 2008
So I’ve had the privilege of playing music with classically trained technical wizards only to then be humbled by the sheer power of a well-written pop song and my approach to playing percussion has fallen into an area somewhere between the two. If a song is supposed to convey a message the technicality should agree with the message and be as complex or as simple as that message asks for. Jeff: My mom was an elementary school music teacher so I’ve been playing music from a pretty young age. I started playing bass guitar when I was thirteen. I played in weird punk bands throughout high school and I totally blew off my prog rock friends’ taste in music. I super fuckin hated that stuff and even now technical proficiency always takes a backseat in my mind to what the songs are accomplishing. For example I can get behind some Yes these days due to the epic shining moments of pure glory on “Close to the Edge.

The quintet hails from sunny San Diego California. Colleen D’Agostino (vocals) moved to San… In her third year at San Diego State University she began playing with Jon Moreaux (guitar) and Noah Vowles (drums). The threesome added bassist Kevin Falk formerly of Every Time I Die and Between the Buried and Me and started writing songs for their first demo. Falk was replaced by Brian Miller (bass) and Roi Elam (guitar) joined shortly after. With their permanent line up in place The Material went into the studio to record their 6- song debut EP Tomorrow with local punk producer Brian Grider. To support the EP which features such sweet-voiced searing fuzz anthems as “Long Way Home” and “Moving To Seattle” The Material hit the road in November for a three-month tour of the West Coast. If early response to their intense live show is any indication they have a lot to look forward to in 2008.
Digby is one gutsy songbird
Malaysia Star – Jun 9, 2008
Since springing to prominence on the back of that YouTube clip last year Digby’s stock has slowly been rising. In Malaysia last year Digby’s version of Umbrella enjoyed a three-month stint on MixFM’s Mixed Up 20 Charts spending three weeks at No… I think people felt like they knew me. ” Controversy The daughter of a Japanese mother and an Irish-American father Digby’s foray into music began with piano lessons as a toddler. By her teens she had picked up the guitar and started writing songs inspired by artistes like Beth Orton Mazzy Star and Bj? The way Digby tells it the urge to start composing began during tough years in high school where she was something of an outsider she did not have many friends and was often made fun of. While she never thought of herself as being particularly talented in music or writing she found comfort in music and began doing the rounds on the coffee house circuit. Midway through her freshman year at Berkeley Digby realised that she wanted to do music full-time so she put college on hold and started playing every open mic gig in LA from dodgy Chicano bars to retirement homes eventually landing a gig at LA’s famous Rainbow Bar and Grill. Her first break came when on a whim Digby entered a national song-writing contest with her song Miss Invisible and ended up winning the top prize performing the song on MTV and VH1. Soon after she began auditioning for record companies the old-fashioned way by turning up with her acoustic guitar and performing for the execs and was duly signed by Hollywood Records.
Blues Musician Bo Diddley Dies — Courant.com
Hartford Courant – Jun 9, 2008
He noted Diddley’s mad-scientist approach to tweaking his sound with a customized guitar. “His guitar had effects and delay built into it so when he’d play a line it would repeat in time with the music” Robillard said last year. “That’s pretty futuristic. You wouldn’t think of Bo as a guy who could do that electronically. But he had more to him than his one beat. Even though Diddley helped establish rock ‘n’ roll’s rhythmic bedrock he never enjoyed the financial success or critical recognition of his two chief contemporaries Chuck Berry and.

MSNBC – Jun 9, 2008
- One visitor might be drawn to the six-string Spanish guitar on which Bob Dylan composed some of his earliest songs. Another might gaze in awe at one of just a handful of Stradivarius violins still with its original neck or a 1767 Portuguese grand piano considered one of the earliest best-preserved pieces known to survive. Each is important to the National Music Museum which focuses on a piece’s place in musical history rather than just its beauty. Story continues below ?advertisement |.
