May 21 Balance and Composure at Skate and Surf Saturday May 18th, 2013 Reviewed
As soon as they stepped on stage, and crowd pushed forward. Luckily I was to the side and wasn’t being swallowed by all the people. There were a lot of fans in attendance; the majority of the crowd knew the words, and I was one of em

May 21 Spotify Streams At Four Cents A Dance
So who gets 2 Million streams? I just took a look and Macklemore and Lewis did 3.7M streams of “Can’t Hold Us”, so that makes about $160,000 in revenue of which the band get MAYBE 25%.

May 21 Not With The Band: When And Why We Love Sad Songs
Curiously, we have a tendency to think that uplifting music or some other upbeat stimulus would cheer us up in this case, effectively wouldn’t you think to console a friend who is going through a bad break-up by bringing him to some cheerful event for example? But hell no, this research totally contradicts the common opinion

May 21 Why The Return of The Skate and Surf Festival Left Me Unimpressed
Apparently these guys were on a different time zone and every act was behind an hour. Sad news for labels like Fearless Records who tweet Mayday Parade (aka ‘Breadsticks’) is on at 7:15 and they come on after 8. Seriously, how amateur can you be? I have been to so many festivals and theyre precision timing.

May 21 rock nyc Comes Alive Episode Seven: “With Your Ears”
It was fun to read, Helen writes with a great deal of energy and the article itself is very clear and extremely well constructed, flipping from one generation of women to the other from hippies to punks and finally to the child who encapsules all of it.

May 21 Golden Slumbers: Recent Deaths In The Musical Community
After a spate of deaths in March and April, the Grim Reaper has been passing on musicians for the past couple of weeks. Not that it helps Dr. Joyce Brothers any and which Helen went through cartwheels to include even scaring up an interview Dr. Brothers conducted with Kiss. But no. Taylor Meade on the other hand…

May 21 Queens Of The Stone Age’s Best Cover Songs
he band has effectively done a certain number of cover songs, and this is not an easy art. If everybody can learn somebody else’s song, not everyone can appropriate it, transform it without torture it, and QOSTA does exactly this: they manage to make the songs their owns by injecting in them their unique sound, while always remaining loyal to the originals.

May 21 Sneak Peaks: New Album Releases Week Of May 20th, 2013
Obviously, Daft Punk is gonna be the big seller, but Christopher Paul Stelling, the brilliant folk singing who builds his own guitars, is the one I have the highest hopes for, especially after hearing “Brick x Brick” . Elsewhere… the Nationals and Darius Rucker look like keeper to me.

May 21 Hear Ye: What rock nyc Is Listening To 5-21-13
Alkaline Trio are because a) I just watched “The Muppets Movie” and b) I am going to see em on Friday. Tom Petty is a highlight from an iffy setlist, the mess of “A”s #5 – # 9 are all new releases and Johnny Taylor reminds me of a disco band that used to cover it in a Beirut club called “Venus”.

May 20 Ray Manzarek Of The Doors Dead
I’ve always loved the Doors myself even if those in the know got muzzled by Morrisson’s over the top coyote blues poetics, Manzarek steadied the sound for a pop world. By the end, by the time of Morrison Hotel and LA Woman, the band were where they needed to be.

May 20 Fall Out Boy, Skate and Surf Fest Saturday May 18th, 2013 Reviewed
This is when it hit me that FOB is truly the greatest band of our generation. They have such stage presence, and I can’t say often enough how insanely phenomenal Patrick’s voice was.

May 20 The Killers At Barclays Center, Saturday, March 18th, 2013, Reviewed
A terrible singalong moment: “I have soul but I’m not a soldier”. They might as well be singing “I’m in tune but I l’m not a tuna”.

May 20 The True Believers Grapevine, TX Friday, May 18th, 2013 Reviewed
I would love to hear the True Believers play live with a proper sound system and I’d also love to see them perform a full set. After forty minutes, the Grapevine Main Street Festival organizers told the band to exit the stage. The True Believers were booted for being too loud.

May 20 rock nyc Comes Alive Presents Cheri Dahl At A Vacant Storefront, 54 Crosby St,
I kept hearing a combination of Deborah Harry and Ronnie Spector, by virtue of the power in her voice. And that was the key – the power in her voice. It was a close-your-eyes moment as she sang

May 20 Saint Motel (Shooting A Whisky Commercial) At The Echoplex, Saturday May 18th 2013
People had heard about the news and a nice crowd had gathered in front of the club where the Rolling Stones played just a few weeks ago. Err, no they didn’t cover the Stones, but they did cover The Who by the way, and I think it was ‘A Quick One While He’s Away’.

An Old Birthday Mix CD Is Worth Another Listen

Looking for cancelled checks to support a court case I’m embroiled in, I came across a mix an old girlfriend made me for my birthday on October 8th, 2004. Coming along nine years now. It made me feel like Jackson Browne in “Fountains Of Sorrow” -”Looking through some photographs I found inside a drawer, I was taken by a photograph of you”. A little clumsy when you read it but it works in context. I just went looking for some pictures of us together but I guess I threw them all out. All I’ve got is this CD!

Probably just as well.

For a guy like me a mix take will capture her better any way.

Listening to the mix today, it sounds like in-jokes and variants in the same place and and… “what I was seeing wasn’t what was happening at all  but for awhile our paths did seem to climb.”

Here is the second half of the songs on the Great Depression playlist.  Yesterday, I offered up the first five tunes representing The Great Depression and here is more to get you thinking.  My patner on this project, the guitar master Tristan offers up some insight as well.  These songs once again are very modern, but their lyrics can be interpreted to reflect the emotions of a past event.

I got an assignment in my US History course to create a 10-song playlist of songs that reflect either the Great Depression, dust bowl, or stock market crash,  and I thought that was awesome.  Our teacher played the class the tune "Dust Bowl Dance" by Mumford and Sons; she said to use that for inspiration and try to find songs that had some relevance.  I banded together with my best friend and fellow music lover, Tristan, and we created the best playlist that teacher will ever see.
