New Music That Will Never Get A Grammy

because it’s too damn good! Can’t stop playing this… Enjoy 10 minutes of incredible music. Crank it up! Hurry before youtube takes it down. (From Steven Wilson’s new album Hand Cannot Erase. It’ll be out in the US in a few days!)

then follow it with this one and be completely FLOORED. I teared up and got goosebumps… Man I love good music. NO GRAMMY FOR THIS GUY FOR SURE!

Knob Twiddler of The Year: Daniel Lanois

For those who don’t know who Daniel Lanois is, let’s just say he produced and made U2 famous, worked a ton with Brian Eno, produced stuff for Bob Dylan, and host of other artists that really have nothing in common with each other.  This guy goes on CeMeGo’s top 10 music producers list (up there with people such as Brian Eno, Trevor Horn, Todd Rundgren, etc).  With his latest album, he decided to play the studio like an instrument.  Obviously this needs a very good rhythm section, which he definitely has here.  The sounds he is generating are pre recorded and some are sampled in the moment (from the drum or the bass) and then everything is oscillated manipulated and extrapolated.  🙂   This, of course, is right up my alley.

As always, crank it!

Nothing Like Good Disaster Coverage: The Sinking of The Costa Concordia

Tis the season to stay in and watch stuff, because it’s so damn cold, what else can you do!

I stumbled over this movie/tv show/documentary whatever about the cell phone footage of passengers and crew of the ill fated Costa Concordia. Well worth the 47 minutes of time, it is definitely worth the watch. I think the captain of this ship is the text book definition of pussy.

After watching, tell me if you are thinking about booking a cruise any time soon! (NOTE: I wouldn’t be surprised if this was yanked off of youtube tomorrow. I downloaded it to archive. I’m surprised this is even present on the youtube site, so watch it while you can).

Flim & The BB’s: God I Miss This Band

Some of the best and craziest jazz ever.  These guys were one of the first to DIGITALLY record music (at the birth of the Compact Disc).

This is a video of them doing the song “Toy Chest”.

 

I have almost every one of their albums (at least I did on cassette and some on CD).

Some of the most whistle’able tunes ever created. Guaranteed, if you listen to any of their music, you will whistle or hum it immediately after you hear it. The musicianship is astounding but the song writing is sooooooooooo sticky.

It’s also fun to watch the videos as they are such a time piece. Notice the old IBM PC AT and the first generation Macintosh behind keyboardist Billy Barber. This song is “Sideman”. Also notice how sticky the melodies are on these songs. Its like a drug!

…also couldn’t forget the song “funhouse” (so glad someone posted these on youtube).

This song stuck in my head so much, I couldn’t rest until I could at least FAKE the main theme of this song on a keyboard. It’s not that hard, but my god does the melody stick. Intoxicating!!!

Listen and get infected.
(and the sad part is. I still cant find all of their music on the internet 🙁 ) You can hear most, if not all, of their music on WMOM (of course).
