Geeking ut With the Beatles: The Magic of Music and Melody on a …

Acrylic on canvas board. While My Guitar Gently Weeps: A lifelong love of music and musical instruments. I picked up the guitar the same year I discovered the Beatles. I learned barre chords because I wanted to play “Help” and still know half their catalog by heart. Free As A Bird: An appreciation of eastern culture and music. “Within You Without You” and “Tomorrow Never Knows” epitomize this gorgeous blending of music traditions with tabla sitar and dilruba.

Adam Ficek Rants About… Indie Music
Gigwise
Basically they started to chart – and get exposure on a much higher level than before. So Manchester was where ‘it’ was at and the labels hit the north to sign up all the flare wearing indie kids. From what I remember (being a young indie kid from a suburb) it was down to the fact that dance music which had itself crept into the charting arenas and indie guitar music suddenly became two sides of the same ecstatic coin creating a universally accepted easily accessible stylish movement for the mixed classes of Great Britain. A prime example of this melting pot are the albums ‘Screamadelica’ by Primal Scream and The Happy Mondays’ ‘Pills ‘n’ Thrills and Bellyaches’ which were both produced by big movers in the house scene of the early nineties. Thus Indie guitar bands were no longer restricted to the uniform of baggy cardigans (The Smiths) and academia. Suddenly the average working class punter was buzzing to both The Stone Roses and Sasha – it was all one big stew of hip new music. From the hedonistic dancing days of the early nineties indie then evolved even further into the realms of pop with it’s second evolutionary phase: the arrival of ‘Britpop’.

Losing a Celebrated Shop and Its Wall of Nostalgia
New York Times
If those walls could talk now the sounds of lament would be crystal clear. After 74 years Manny’s — at the heart and soul of Music Row on West 48th Street — closed its doors for good on Sunday. The store will be converted by its owner. “In these economic times we felt it wasn’t carrying its own weight” said Paul Ash 80 the president of Sam Ash Music which has 45 stores nationwide including three others on West 48th Street. In a city where independent drugstores and coffee shops have all seemingly been replaced by Duane Reades and Starbucks the loss of a place like Manny’s is seen by some as further erosion of the variety that made New York special.
Mike Moreno: Focusing on the Music
All About Jazz
When I started to bring the acoustic guitar into my own music people would tell me things like “I can feel what you are doing much more with the acoustic. ” So I felt a certain connection to it and other people related to it which was encouraging. The acoustic became a source of motivation when I was discouraged. I kept trying it out and people kept telling me to keep doing it. It was more a case of other people providing the motivation for me to keep the acoustic in my playing.
Music Review | Grizzly Bear
New York Times
Grizzly Bear’s songs rev without going anywhere. With broad vocal harmonies and harmonic motion built from unusual guitar tunings the band gives you beauty until you can’t stand it. I found myself lost in a few bright bursting moments of its show at Town Hall on Thursday. They felt like static pleasures though. The concert sits in my memory like a slide show.

Bo still knows: Recalling Bo Diddley’s legacy
Aurora Beacon News
Ted Nugent: “Bo Diddley’s incredible impact on music and America is immeasurable. As my American blues brother Billy Gibbons exclaimed accurately that a newborn infant exposed to the Bo Diddley rhythm would begin to gyrate accordingly. We often hear the term ‘primal’ associated with good rock ‘n’ roll music but clearly Bo handed off the purity of primal direct from our aboriginal campfires straight to the masses via his electric guitar grind. I was privileged and deeply honored to jam with Bo and actually play bass guitar in a few of his concerts back in 1970. It changed my life. I wallowed in the belly of the beast and was instantaneously moved to better appreciate and more effectively implement the soulfulness of his music into my own.
