The Partridge Family - now there was a band!

This is why the interweb is great. In the Stars You Once Fancied thread Sheev posted a YouTube montage of Gillian Blake, containing the fantastic David Cassidy tune Cherish . This prompted a bit of a Partridge Family meandering on Spotify and Wikipedia. I have re-discovered how many great pop songs they released. Some may scoff, but considering the music was largely the work of The Wrecking Crew it's...

Celebrate 2010 'with Dancing and Champagne' at the Piper Club

One of the hottest tickets for New Year's Eve in Rome could be a night at the Piper Club. MANCHESTER, ENGLAND, November 29, 2009 /24-7PressRelease/ -- New Year's Eve is considered by many to be the one night when everyone has to go out, enjoy themselves and celebrate the arrival of another January with a glass of champagne. Those staying in Rome hotels are likely to be of the same opinion and no doubt...

The M M & M 1000 – part 50

Here’s the latest batch of Music Musings and Miscellany’s unapologetically subjective selection of the twentieth century’s best 1000 singles. THE BYRDS – So You Want to Be a Rock ‘n’ Roll Star / Everybody’s Been Burned (Columbia 43987 1967) They had a bit of a nerve poking fun at the Monkees when just a couple of [...]

Jay Reatard

"It Ain't Gonna Save Me" from the album Watch Me Fall 2009 iTunes As far as persona goes, this middle-school dropout from Memphis is as misanthropic and explosive as Iggy at his peak. But, as negative, bellicose, piss-drinking fuckups go, he certainly does work hard. Since the 1990s, he's issued a steady stream of music under a confusing array of auspices, including the Reatards, Lost Sounds,...

Jackson Browne

As both the precocious bard and poet laureate of the Laurel Canyon elite, Jackson Browne created a late-'60s/early-'70s repertoire that found him standing shoulder-to-shoulder with the other notables of the day. Alongside peers such as Joni Mitchell, James Taylor, and Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young...

DCist Interview: Dawes

Dawes When I think about the band Dawes , I'm reminded of that line in Oh Brother, Where Art Thou when George Clooney's character, Ulysses Everett McGill, is explaining the sound of his band, the Soggy Bottom Boys. In an attempt to convince the old blind radio station operator that the group is worthy enough to play on air, Everett says, "Uh, sir, the Soggy Bottom Boys is been steeped in old-timey...

This Day in Rock History (Gene Clark, High-Flying Byrd Brought Low, Born)

November 17, 1944— Gene Clark , an original member of the 1960s pioneering folk-rock group The Byrds , was born in Tipton, Mo., to an amateur-musician father who fed him a diet of country-music standards. Ironically, the future composer of “Eight Miles High” and several other original compositions for his band saw his career blown off course by fear of flying—and his life ended...

So, is Jeff Lynne the single luckiest bloke in the history of rock?

All this reminiscing around the career of the mighty ELO got me musing about something. Is Jeff Lynne basically the single luckiest/most fulfilled bloke in the entire history of rock music? Let's look at the evidence... Here's Jeff, a member of an obscure Brummy beat combo who's grown up being heavily influenced by a range of artists, each of which have blended to form a part of his musical DNA. There's...

So You Want to Be a Rock and Roll Star...

You know what it's like: There are some songs, like Jimmy Hendrix's, "Purple Haze," or The Stones', "Jumping Jack Flash," where the guitar introductions practically clinch the recordings all by themselves. That's how it used to be for me, with Patti Smith's cover of "So You Want To Be A Rock 'N' Roll Star." (Wikipedia's entry on The Byrds' orginal is here , with discussion...

The bronze statue of a girl holding a paper crane atop the memorial is the likeness of Sadako Sasaki. Sadako was two when the bomb dropped on Hiroshima. Nine years later, she was diagnosed with leukemia....

The Ash Grove - Mick Jagger Gets the Blues

In his Ash Grove recording, guitarist Dave Alvin laments the loss of a favorite Los Angeles club, a venue that should be on the National Register of Historic Places. It would have to be in an urn, however, the club burned not once, but three times. Ed Pearl (an uncle of Spirit's Randy California) founded the 250-seat Ash Grove in 1958.
