Dick Clark: the underground's unlikely champ ..As host of American Bandstand, Dick Clark was responsible for smuggling subversion into US homes It is easy to think of Dick Clark , who died on Wednesday, as a real square, standing dead centre in the cultural median, slick and mainstream, ageless and rocking a perdurable deep Californian tan and a haircut that didn't change in the 33 years that American Bandstand , the music show he hosted, was on the air. Looking at him now from the distance of 2012, he seems like a relic of another innocent time. Perhaps he was. He was prescient; understanding how impactful rock ...Guardian music19 April 2012

X - "The Unheard Music": Interview with Aliz ..Silver Anniversary Edition Liner Notes from Director W. T. Morgan: A quarter-century ago THE UNHEARD MUSIC premiered at Sundance. To get there, Angel City Productions – Chris Blakely, Everett Greaton, Alizabeth Foley and I – spent a lifetime in wolf years shacked up with X and their uniquely charged punk poetry. We found kindred spirits in John Doe, Exene Cervenka, Billy Zoom and D. J. Bonebrake, and tried to capture lightning in a bottle during that electrifying run when they made Los Angeles, Wild Gift, Under the Big Black Sun and More Fun in the New World. This was our first film ...BrooklynRocks: NYC Music Blog18 February 2012

10 Under the Radar for 2011Instead of focusing on a best of list, I wanted to highlight 10 albums released in 2011, by artists that aren’t household names. There are so many hard working and passionate artists who deserve to be noticed. The current landscape of the music industry makes it difficult for artist from local and regional scenes to break through. The blogosphere provides a conduit for these artists to be heard, but most bloggers, like those of us here at Twangville, have day jobs and can’t listen to everything that is submitted to us. However, we try to listen to as ...Amber Waves of Twang13 February 2012

Musical Couples: Exene Cervenka & John Doe ..X : White Girl [ purchase ] When I graduated from high school in 1978, rock radio in New York still mostly played classic rock, even on the now legendary WNEW-FM, which was tamer than in its true heyday, but still played a little broader selection of music. We really didn’t hear much punk music, but some of the “new wave,” like Elvis Costello and Joe Jackson began to infiltrate the playlists. At some point that year, WPIX-FM began to focus on playing new wave (their slogan was, “From Elvis to Elvis”), but by the time it was beginning to get some ...Star Maker Machine13 February 2012

John Doe Live on KCRW – Never EnoughWhile watching John Doe harmonizing beautifully with singer Cindy Wasserman, I couldn’t help thinking how he ALWAYS has a female counterpart, starting with Exene Cervenka (also his ex-wife) in legendary LA punk band X. After his set, I couldn’t resist asking him why. John said he wants to tell the “other side of the story”. I asked how he finds his collaborators – if they just happen upon each other or if it’s a process. He says he actively seeks out specific singers, particularly ones he’s worked with before, and he ...KCRW14 December 2011

For a Song: Little Ramona (Gone Hillbilly Nu ..BR5-49 : Little Ramona (Gone Hillbilly Nuts) [ purchase ] Things are kind of serious around here, as we await the arrival of Hurricane Irene on Saturday. So I wanted to lighten the mood. To my ear, Little Ramona (Gone Hillbilly Nuts) could not be more of a country song. But, even though BR5-49 recorded the song for Arista Nashville, they received minimal support from the label. The lyrics tell of a former punk rocker gone country, and the tongue is firmly in cheek. But the idea is not really that far fetched. There was a musical sub-genre in the 1980s and 90s ...Oliver Di Place26 August 2011
