new music tuesday to lighten the tone on WB a bit.
Grace Potter & the Noctournals. haling from VT –she’s young, sexy, and can really sing. think threesome involving norah jones, fiona apple and bonnie raitt –on top of a hammond organ. hotcha!
Trey Anastasio’s post Phish effort, “Shine” is actually pretty cool. lots of cool guitar work and not so much crazt zappa stuff. Skeeto Valdez on drums is a total monster, though I hear he’s off the tour now. there’s almost a hard rock edge to some of the material here. worth checking out.
Bruce Springsteen’s 30th anniversary of Born to Run DVD and podcast
…if you’re not listening to podcasts at work, you’re missing out on a whole new level of distraction :). this DVD is totally at the top of my xmas list.
“Plans” by Death Cab for Cutie. still in hot rotation here. even my boss likes it.
Mofro, “Blackwater”. Hoped to see this band at ACL, but that will have to wait for another time. incidentally, ACL is redeeming my unused tix from this year’s festival for 2006 tix. can’t wait!!
Seu Jorge does all of these great Bowie covers on the “Life Aquatic” soundtrack. The whole soundtrack is a lot of fun, really.
I understand that Sam Prekop has a new one out too. but I’m not hip to it yet.
finally, John Mayer Trio’s TRY! is out. very bluesy. not your typical john mayer serving here, but that’s the attraction here. check it out.
Add Jim to your del.icio.us network
OK, so the Sam Prekop isn’t actually “new” but was released in March. and I forgot to mention that the Franz Ferdidnand appearance on ACL last week was killer. definitely check out this program if you TIVO’d it.
anybody ever listen to Oliver Mtukudzi?
just listen to him on itunes radio ordered an album.
world music, reminded me of king sunny.
