Janvier Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 Sadly, this is what the control room of most radio stations look like these days. Notice the lack of a life announcer. That's because everything is pre-programmed through voice tracking (meaning the announcer records all of their breaks ahead of time). Hell, the DJ couldn't break the format even if they wanted to since everything is automated. Really sad the sight of that empty cabin, I never imagined that this is how modern radio worked. Back to the recommendations there's something I heard, coincidentally on the radio (The United States of Americana show) this is an upcoming album actually, appears September 28th, not sure if others would like this quiet song, but I liked it the moment they played it on that Americana show.

Jahfin Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 (edited) Really sad the sight of that empty cabin, I never imagined that this is how modern radio worked. Tom Petty hit the nail on the head several years back with the title track to his album The Last DJ. In fact, it hit so close to home that it was banned by several Clear Channel owned stations. Well, you can't turn him into a company man You can't turn him into a whore And the boys upstairs Just don't understand anymore Well, the top brass don't like him Talking so much And he won't play what they say to play And he don't want to change What don't need to change There goes the last DJ Who plays what he wants to play And says what he wants to say Hey, hey, hey And there goes your freedom of choice There goes the last human voice There goes the last DJ Well, some folks say they're gonna hang him so high 'Cause you just can't do what he did There's some things you just can't Put in the mind of those kids Loved that Black Prairie song, thanks so much for posting it. Here's a band that's been gaining some notoriety as of late called The Lumineers. They just passed through here opening for Old Crowe Medicine Show. I first heard them earlier this summer on KEXP out of Seattle. Edited August 21, 2012 by Jahfin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jahfin Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 Saw this guy (Mike June) open for Jon Dee Graham at a house concert in Raleigh a few weeks ago. When he performed this song it definitely turned some heads. If you listen, you'll hear why. It's pretty tricky lyrical territory to navigate in this day and age of political correctness and oversensitivity but Mike June handles it well. Speaking of Jon Dee, he contributes lap steel to this song and also gets a real nice shoutout in the video itself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jahfin Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 So new that this is not even on a record (yet). By the way, if you're not familiar with James McMurtry, his Dad is renown author Larry McMurtry who most folks probably know from the book (as well as miniseries) Lonesome Dove.

kirchzep27 Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 A few months ago I heard Kaki king on sound check...she was playing a hybrid guitar mandolin...made in the adirondacks...custom built, very interesting sound and great playing. It's on YouTube, instrumental 2, sound check. It's a great song. Also on sound check was a hip hop native Canadian Indian group called, a tribe called red. They interweave really old Indian recordings of singing and drumming into modern hip hop produced songs. That was interesting as well.

Otto Masson Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 Go on Youtube and look up the band Saint Jude from London. They are fronted by a female singer, Lynne Jackaman, who is very obviously influenced by soul music, but is using that in the framework of what is basically a rock band; when asked about it, she has herself cited Aretha Franklin, Etta James and early Tina Turner. There are people who maintain that the band sounds a lot like the Black Crowes, but that seems dubious to me - they are moving within what is a somewhat similar musical landscape, but from a different angle, so that their take on things is quite different. I am hearing a bunch of all kinds of different influences in their songs. Lynne has guested with The Answer, and also made appearances with The Union. Now, the band was formed about six years ago - they are still struggling to get people's attention, have mostly gigged in London so far, but have also participated in various festivals. Their original guitarist and main songwriter, with Jackaman, on their first and thus far only album, Adam Green, died of cancer in January of this year. Their current lineup however includes two really good guitarists, Ivor Sims and Marcus Bonfanti, a blues musician, basically. The band sounds great - I also like their drummer, Lee Cook. They performed at High Voltage in the summer of 2011 - this is one of their songs: Let's take a couple of examples from their studio album, Diary of a Soul Fiend (2010). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jGNmq2IjXVk&feature=related Check out the bit of Beatle psycehedelia towards the end of this song: They performed at the Genesis book launch for a volume of the lyrics Jim Capaldi wrote, where Robert Plant was present ... they performed Mr. Fantasy there, which I don't think suited the band - but hey, bear in mind what the occasion was, and who doesn't love that song? Ron Wood is a fan, as they are fans of his work especially with The Faces. I believe Jimmy Page has also seen them live in London. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ally Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 ^^ I like it Otto and I can hear all the influences you've stated. Lynne Jackaman's voice is excellent and it reminds me very much of Canadian rocker Sass Jordan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otto Masson Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 Hi Ally! Take the first song, a very basic kind of rocking number. In terms of the actual music, much of that one sounds like something that could have been on Exile on Main Street, boogie piano and all ... but it's not just nuances of arrangement that are different from the Stones, as the rhythmical surging, the waves the band is making, sounds more like you would get with Guns 'n' Roses. And you have the slide parts that are very southern rock, no doubt more in the style of Skynyrd than the Allmans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otto Masson Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 Well people, while you're at it, also check out The Union, a British band too. This song sounds like they wanted to mix together a lot of different things from Led Zeppelin - there's quite a bit of Traveling Riverside Blues there, the stomp from Bron Yr Aur Stomp, some of the slide things from In My Time of Dying, and so on. Another song - hard rock indeed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJC455 Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 Café del Mar (freely translated as “cafe by the ocean”) is world famous bar located in Sant Antoni de Portmany, Ibiza, Spain. Known for its spectacular sunsets and chill-out music, it is a popular tourist destination during the summer season. Hundreds, sometimes thousands, of tourists and locals gather in front of the café to enjoy relaxing chill-out music, while the sun slowly disappears under the horizon. Café del Mar has played a major role in the foundation of chill-out music culture[1]. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reswati Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 @ Otto Masson First of all thanks for posting The Union, didn't know them and completely like their vibe. Saint Jude are also amazing, know them some years already, dunno if you ever saw this concert before, if not, enjoy: http://www.wdr.de/tv/rockpalast/extra/videos/2011/0325/saint_jude.jsp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
