Hola,
I'm getting ready for some exciting live music
this week: PJ Harvey on Thursday and then Amp
Fiddler and Quantic, both on Saturday night. I've
said it before and I'll say it again: if you are
anywhere near an Amp Fiddler show. go! The man is
so funky and the band is so tight.....just go.
We've got tix for Amp at Bimbo's and for
Quantic's DJ set at Milk later that evening, so
tune in for your chance to win.
New music that's making me happy includes a new
package of forthcoming releases from
whatmusic.com, that includes an outstanding disc
from the Teddy Rok Seven entitled, "Universal
Four." The creation of Finland's Teppo Mäkynen,
the album gets into some deep jazz dance bizness
that strikes the right balance between the
acoustic and the synthetic.
"Mailbag Blues" is the 1974 soundtrack to the
life of Ronald Biggs - the man convicted in
Britian's Great Train Robbery and immortalized by
the Sex Pistols. Bassist Bruce Henry and a posse
of stellar Brazilian studio cats recorded a
soundtrack to a movie that's yet to be made, but
that interprets, song-by-song, Biggs' description
of the events that led up to the caper, as well
as his arrest and subsequent escape from prison.
More great jazz that's finally being released for
the first time!
The Saint's "Grown Folk Music" juggles both rap
and house music with a pinch of funk for a pretty
interesting mix. It's on 7Heads, so you know it's
dope.....according to the press release, Nouvelle
Vague translates to new wave in English and bossa
nova in Portuguese, which is perfect for this
most unusual record. Songs by '80s artists such
as Joy Division, Depeche Mode, Dead Kennedys, the
Undertones, the Clash, XTC and others are
reinterpreted as lazy bossa lounge tunes by eight
young female vocalists who supposedly had not
heard the originals before the recording dates.
The project smacks of novelty, but actually turns
out to be quite endearing. Check this one out.
Speaking of out, so am I.....until next week, ciao for now!
David
