In August 1970, Joni Mitchell was forced to figure out just what she was willing to reveal in a very public moment. The third and final edition of the Isle of Wight Festival took place on East Afton Farm in Freshwater, England, and its bucolic setting put attendees in mind of Woodstock. But the crowd grew unruly as promoters tried to keep out people who hadn’t paid by putting up corrugated iron fences and hiring police to patrol with trained guard dogs. When things got ugly during Mitchell’s set, she confronted the audience. The mood of Mitchell’s ...

Now that Facebook is a publicly traded company and wealth and prosperity have officially returned to every corner of the U.S.A., the government can get back to more important things, like putting together a killer mix tape for tomorrow’s Thirsty Thursday flippy cup party in the Library of Congress basement. Or, to put it a completely different way, the Library of Congress announced the addition of 25 new “cultural, artistic and/or historical treasures” to its National Recording Registry of, y’know, “cultural, artistic and/or historical treasures.” See, under the terms of something called the “National ...

I went to my favourite search engine Google.com today in order to do some research on tomato soup restaurants that deliver in my local community. As I began to type in my query, my computer began to emit noises that sounded like "Bleep" and "Bloop." It was confusing. I tried to backspace and resubmit my query. Unfortunately, I was met with more bleepbloops. I spent about an hour, messing with the on screen synth simulation, pretending that I was in a relevant electro chillwave bleep bloop band such as the Crystal Castles , the Neon Indians, or the MeightyThrees. In ...

unfathomable ineffable god needed some cat to dig some parts of his creation that no one was picking up on and so he created me he chucked me together nearly sixty years ago and he said to me as he has always said to me my man look at all this stuff ! and true enough with just the thinnest skin that is bearable i have drunk deep of his creation and verily i am staggering in amazement did he realise….? that he had imbued me with my own tiny propensity for creation as part of him i strive to be ...

Now this 7" The Path Home by Bad Indians came out aaaaaaaaaages ago - the Michigan collective sent it to me in the early throes of the year, and it had been floating about for a few months by then - yet it somehow escaped me until the title track popped up on my playlist on the weekend. It's three slices of trash can garage that is as infectious as it is sloppy, soaked in tonnes of sunshine and party juice. After the reckless swagger of 'The Path Home', we get female vocals to up the sweetener on what segues into ...

Album number 36 from the Mexican-American guitarist is an instrumental record (bar one track) dedicated to the Native American Indians in light of the Native American Apology Resolution which came into US law in 2009.So it is both...

There are lots of foreign-language covers out there, but what really intruiges me is when non-Anglo/Americans approach the material from their own ethnic/cultural background.  Sometimes it's kinda clueless, like the South African group who sound like they really don't know their rockabilly (tho I'm sure they know rock better then most Americans know mbaqanga), while others are clearly going for a cross-over audience, e.g. the " chutney " version of Arrow's soca classic "Feelin' Hot Hot Hot": East Indians go to the West Indies. I'm pretty sure the Bappi Lahiri track was no more ...

Talk about being a long way from home. It has been a matter of circumstance that has led to me heading to New Orleans (or, "Nawlins", as it's affectionately known) this year for my first ever Jazz Fest. A city which continues to recover from the ravages of Hurricane Katrina in the outlying areas, here on Bourbon Street where we're staying - at the famous Royal Senesta - you'd never know anything had happened. The lights are bright, the music is fine, the food phenomenal, the beads flowing and the drinks cheap (and potent). This is, as it has ...

Other Shore by Lo Faber One of a handful of tunes written in the fall of 1988. The band had “formed” but we ...

My weekends begin on Sunday night, which is when my son gets picked up from three days of black man shit personified. He cops a line-up from the Dominican’s, Arizona’s and patties from the Indians, bootlegs from the Asians, and helps me do laundry with the Africans. We talk about life shit on the way [...]
