Remember back in June I whining that I couldn't find a decent radio station to listen to? The New Country 95.3 out of Hamilton switched formats last Friday is now playing all the greatest hits from the 60s, 70s and 80s. The last song they played was Garth Brooks', The Dance (I love that song!). And now I'm glad I didn't know The way it all would end, the way it all would go Our lives are better left...

From Steady Bloggin ': " Hooray for bootlegs. The cover is self explanatory – this is a compilation collecting the original sources used by Large Pro in creating Breaking Atoms. Naturally the main target demographic here are the sample nerds. However this also works as a good mix of assorted classic rock/funk/soul/jazz jams so you can enjoy it even if you don’t give two shits about...

From 1979’s “Love at First Bite.” Note: As I understand it, the DVD replaces the original Alicia Bridges recording of “I Love the Night Life” with some generic music for the usual ridiculous legal reasons. Enjoy this version while and where you can.

A fragment from NASA's twitter flow : Wake up music this morning was "We Are Family" by Sister Sledge, played for Atlantis Mission Specialist Leland Melvin. I often forget, and it is something I should not forget, that America is also an African civilization. Africa is in its history, in its cities, homes, blood, and genes. Even in space, this civilization plays African music . [ Subscribe...

This is not an invitation for every band to cover the immensely coverable Arthur Russell, but we will say that the majority of reworks we’ve heard lately have been pretty solid. Next in line is Holiday Shores‘ cover of “Your Motion Says,” which actually benefits from the fact that it originally came from a super [...]

If you can be in a bad mood when KC and The Sunshine Band plays, well then my condolences. Maybe it will help if I tell you I did a tap dance routine to that very song when I was in fourth grade and wore a chocolate brown leotard with …. “I Can Help†by [...]

The thing I love most about Chris Sorbello is the fact that she gets it. And by it I mean the brave new world of pop music where having a pretty face and a handful of decent songs doesn't cut it anymore. To make a real impact you need to be the complete package and stand out from the crowd - be it by focusing on image a la Lady Gaga, creating a new character (see Beyoncé's Sasha Fierce) or simply...

photo by Veronica Murtagh/Chicagoist The year's end is quickly approaching and as we reflect on the past ten months in music in an attempt to define 2009, there are certain trends that, for better or worse, stick out. Across genres, music blogs have become powerful influencers, launching the careers of young bands, but often buzz can backfire. The newest amazing act often turns out to be little more...

Till relatively recently, I knew of De Molen only by reputation. My trip to Amsterdam for the opening of Beer Temple gave me a swift introduction to their world via the wonderful De Molen Black Jack , and their Mout & Mocca, which I did not enjoy so much . I also came back with a small selection of bottles from that house of delights that is De Bierkoning. One of those was the De Molen Rasputin...

(Photo: Mark Broissely) Marina has a voice and a face for the bright lights, no doubt, but The Phenomenal Handclap Band have a method, and they're not about to shake that for some Diamond girl with pretty eyes. So their remix of "Mowgli's Road" cuts her vocal to ribbons, proceeding in a tight four-four groove that brings to mind the bleeding neon of films set in late Seventies urban America...

You've heard the song, "Burn baby burn, disco inferno!" but probably never realized that it was about your body's inflammatory response to chronic nutrition related threats. "Satisfaction (uhu hu hu) came in the chain reaction (burnin') I couldn't get enough, (till I had to self-destroy) so I had to self ...
