i dont know much about any of the below, but its a pretty righteous collection of 70’s funk, jazz, groove and all around weirdness that only the 70’s could have produced. some of the stuff actually sounds pretty timely, while some other stuff would make awesome personal theme music for either sweet loving making or just walking down the street. thanks to the original compiler!

wazzzz uuuuup? that never gets old. in case you or ever bored on the train, bus or wherever boredom may set in, captains dead is now optimized for viewing via your phone or at very least pda phones. i tried it this morning on my palm and it looks pretty good. it presents just the meat of the site, and allows you to download stuff pretty easily - i downloaded a 6meg song from the site in about 45 seconds. so, if you are using a 3g phone and are using a memory card you should be all good.

i was pretty psyched when i got a copy of the local anesthetic cd which is a compilation of all the seven inch singles, and then some, by the denver based/duane davis(wax trax co-owner) owned label, the local anesthetic. a wee bit of background, wax trax was founded by dannie flesher and jim nash(rip) in denver but then moved to chicago and sold the enver store to duane davis and dave stidman. wax trax, in chicago, was the epicenter of cool and spent so much money there before their untimely closing in the 90s. to say this is a great comp is bit of an understatement. its being released via smooch records or it may be available now. here’s a little taste.

anyone see kenny vs spenny? thus far i have only had the opportunity to check out the farting episode, and as much as i love fart based humor, the show as quite annoying. sure, i laughed out loud at numerous times throughout the episode it got to the point where i just wanted to gag. which i suppose is maybe the point. i loved the underwear/heat sensor visual, but there was still no for me to have ever witnessed such and experiment. i dont see it lasting very long, but drawn together still lives so there is hope for just about anything.

baby dee seems to be quite the character, literally. at first i was not even sure what gender dee was, it would turn out that dee is indeed a she. but, based on first impressions i was unsure whether dee was some kind of stage act or parody, both being not by type of thing. as it turns out, baby dee is pretty right on. kind of a melding of waits old world charm and stephin merritt eccentricities. she’s got a new will oldham and matt sweeney produced(they also play) record entitled safe inside the day coming out on drag city on 1.22.08. guests on the record include andrew wk, robbie lee, max moston (antony and the johnsons), william breeze (psychic tv), john contreras (current 93), james lo (chavez) and lia kessel. here’s the first single from safe inside the day.

there were many, actually lets just say between the years of 94 - 04, an evening was spent in bars scattered throughout chicago neighboorhoods. one thing i love about chicago is that in the winter you drink cause there isnt much else to do, and then in the summer you drink cause, well, its summer. anyway, my point is this, chicago’s morning recordings reminds me of the dark end of the bar. the perfect place to chill and just let everything going on just pass you by. think yo la tengo on codeine with a splash of some dream pop band, if thats possible. their new record the welcome kinetic is out now, i believe. check em out…

good day all! hey if you are in nyc and not doing much tomorrow evening you should check out the j.a.m. awards and concert at the hammerstein ballroom. the j.a.m. awards and concert are in honor of jam master jay and will include performances by dmc, raekwon, q tip, de la soul, epmd, dead prez, everlast w/ dj muggs, and a host of others. all proceeds raised will benefit jam master jay foundation for music. sounds like it could be a cool evening.

minnesotean dan israel is part of a dying breed of musicians that are able to create records of both substance and style, melding them into one harmonious union. and these gifts are no more apparent than on his most recently and released ninth record, turning. the man keeps good company, too, enlisting members of son volt, the jayhawks, honeydogs, just to name a few to help in the recording process.

israel is a bit of a throwback singer/songwriter/wordsmith who is more in the vein of elvis costello, randy newman and springsteen, than many of what would be considered his modern day counterparts. coming across as a strange blend of newman and former minneapolis brethern craig finn, israel sings with a conviction that stretches beyond his otherwise dead pan delivery. with “turning” israel has created a record that stretches beyond his twin cities zip codes and hopefully the rest of the country will take notice.

turning can be purchased via his site

counting on you

never go away
