Ryan Bingham’s new album: Junky Star

Aug 30th

Posted by Pete in Roots Rock

1 comment

Hmm, what to do on this Tuesday, August 31st? Well first of all, can we stop the presses and figure out how the hell it’s already September?? Crikes.

But alas, what you should do if raw, real American roots music is your bag – is snatch up Junky Star, the brand new album by Ryan Bingham & the Dead Horses.This is Ryan’s 3rd release, after the excellent one-two punch of Mescalito and Roadhouse Sun . This time, T-Bone Burnett produces.

I just snatched it up, and I’ll be diving into it first thing in the morning. The Amazon MP3 Store makes it a bargain too good to pass up: $3.99 for the whole album. Bite now while the gettin’s good…

BUY: Junky Star($3.99 on Amazon).

Now I’m off to catch ol’ Ryan on Letterman.

The Dance Electric

Aug 29th

A commenter on my most commented post, Whatever Happened to Andre Cymone, pointed out that Andre’s “The Dance Electric” video was available on Yahoo Music. Indeed it is. And I thought I’d share again.

Among all the songs that Prince has passed on to others – “Nothing Compares to U” and “Manic Monday” among them (don’t forget “Sugar Walls“!) – “The Dance Electric” ranks right up there. It has simply one of the F-U-N-K-I-E-S-T rhythms ever to emanate from His Purpleness – so funky that I questioned why he ever gave this one away.

“Kiss” was actually written for his Mazarati project in the mid-80′s; but Prince wisely snatched that one back when he realized he had a potential hit in his hands. I’m not sure “The Dance Electric” would have met with the same success as “Kiss” (likely not), but it’s one that would have complemented P’s 80′s work quite nicely.

Here’s Prince’s version of “The Dance Electric”.  It wasn’t a huge stretch for Andre, was it?  It was pretty much signed, sealed and delivered…

Brian Setzer, Lee Rocker and Slim Jim Phantom take on “Somethin’ Else” by Eddie Cochran – live in Paris, circa ’82 or ’83.

My older bro got to see the Stray Cats live back in the day. They still get together to tour now & then. Next time, I get my rockabilly lovin’ arse out there!

The Friday Five: August 27, 2010

Friday Five

Friday Five : \’frī-(,)dā,-dē ‘fīv\ : On the sixth day of every week, I hit the shuffle button on my iTunes, then share the first five tracks and thought for each track. Sometimes there is a playlist involved, occasionally we’ll have a guest, but most of the time it’s just me. The rest is up to you, our friends and readers! Fire up your media player of choice and share the first five random track of your shuffle in the comments.

The Five:

“Hey Baby (feat. Bounty Killer)” by No Doubt (from The Singles 1992-2003, 2003)

I recall strongly disliking this song when it first was released. Not so much for its departure from the band’s ska-punk roots — I saw that coming from a mile away — but more for its derivative quality. rather than take the dancehall influence and make it part of the band’s sound, they co-opted it and made it more of a pastiche. For the record, I like this song quite a bit these days.

“Can’t Go Back Now” by The Weepies (from Hideaway, 2008)

I still do not love this record nearly as much as Say I Am You. Popdose Grand Pubah Jeff Giles tells me that their new record, Be My Thrill, is excellent. I’m going to have to check it out.

“Magic” by The Cars (from Complete Greatest Hits, 2002)

I can’t hear this song with out picturing the video featuring Rick Ocasek’s slight frame walking across the pool. Sure, it’s horribly clear that he is standing on glass suspended just under the water, but it’s the effect that counts. For a long time, if asked, I would have to cop to this being my favorite Cars tune. I think age has jaded me, as I find tunes like “Drive” and “Tonight She Comes” getting played more often than the upbeat numbers.

“Every Little Step” by Bobby Brown (from Dance! … Ya Know It, 1989)

Sure, this has come up on the Five before, but I’ll be dammed if I will pass up the opportunity to post this video of my pals Jason Hare and Michael Burke rocking this tune.

And yes, that is me laughing when Jason busts the second part of the rap. The video is courtesy of Popdose editor, and frequent Friday Fiver, Ken Shane.

“No Better Than This” by John Mellencamp (from No Better Than This, 2010)

I’ve yet to listen to this record. Judging by what I’ve heard so far, I’m not sure that I’ll ever make it through a front to back listen. The songwriting seems strong enough — hell, it’s probably the strongest he’s been able to come up with in years — but the mono production just sounds less than authentic.

What’s on your shuffle today?

Like a Bird, Like a Plane

As the ACL Festival creeps closer (6 weeks away!), I thought I’d check out the schedule and dive into some discovery of artists I hadn’t heard. Charlie Mars, one of the first acts to play on Friday, Oct. 8th, was my first pick.

I dialed up his record, Like a Bird Like a Plane, on Rdio, and instantly liked what I heard. The title track that kicks off the album has a nice, cool vibe. I dig the sparse instrumentation – the unique drum sound, the swirl of the organ riff during the chorus… nice tune and a nice album. It’ll get some spins ’round my way.

Ayanna [Branford Marsalis Quintet] : the calming effect

Go go go. Rush rush rush.

The pace of everyday life can be a bit exhausting at times, overwhelming if you let it. But that’s where the tunes kick in, and everything is restored, the reset button is punched, and you’re ready for another round.

It was after a hectic day, where the stress-o-meter was tipping a little high to my liking, and I was driving home after some gym time. I was tuned into KJZZ, our local public radio station here in Phoenix which flips on the jazz after 8pm. The good jazz, not the smooth or lite crap.

This song came on and, well, it had a calming effect. It was the Branford Marsalis Quartet. “Ayanna”. A track off a Grammy winning 2000 album, Contemporary Jazz.

Let this one wind down your day sometime.

Sometimes there is a playlist involved, occasionally we’ll have a guest, but most of the time it’s just me. The rest is up to you, our friends and readers! Fire up your media player of choice and share the first five random track of your shuffle in the comments.

The Five:

“Dance in the Dark (Monarchy ‘Stylites’ remix)” by Lady Gaga (from The Remix, 2010)

It’d be hard for me to deny being absolutely smitten with all things Lady Gaga. Well-crafted dance-pop is timeless. I’ve made the case for it here before, but will again suggest that if you have refused to partake in Gaga for some trivial reason, that you stop and give The Fame Monster a listen.

“Peach” by Prince (from The Hits/The B-Sides, 1993)

Recorded as one of the “new” tracks for his first greatest hits package, this reveals His Royal Badness in full-on Rock n’ Roll Saviour mode. Built with around a driving four on four beat — courtesy of powerhouse Michael B. — and featuring some of the most fiery guitar pyrotechnics that Prince has displayed on record; coupled with naughty lyrics about the buoyancy of his ladies “assets,” this is a hell of a jam. Oddly enough, it is one he still trots out, despite its racy content. Which is, perhaps obviously, scrubbed clean of any of its less than savory bits.

“New York Groove” by Ace Frehley (from Hard Rock Gold, 2009)

Who would have thought that out of the the four solo KISS records, that Ace Frehley would be the one to produce a bona fide hit?

“I Would Die 4 U” by Prince (from The Hits/The B-Sides, 1993)

It’s been a long time since two Prince tracks crept into the Friday Five. Perhaps my purple fatigue is wearing off?

“August in Bethany” by The Juliana Theory (from Understand This Is a Dream, 1999)

Words cannot express just how excited I am to see the reunited Juliana Theory this evening at the Highline Ballroom. The last time that I saw them was 2001, which seems like a lifetime ago. The band decided to reunite for a batch of dates to officialy say goodbye to their fans. While I doubt that I’ll get to hear “August in Bethany,” it doesn’t matter.

What’s on your shuffle today?

Every summer I dig out the film Dazed and Confused, a wonderful story set on the last day of school in 1976 in Austin, Texas, and I let its warm rays cascade over me.  The music, the images, the theme and the style all mix up in a beautiful melange…so much so that at various points throughout the 103 minutes of this absolute gem, I well up and by the end, I’m usually crying.

It’s not from laughter nor is it from bong smoke getting in my eyes. It’s from a deep sadness so compelling that more often than not it is overwhelming. I find myself getting up from in front of the television and going outside to breathe the clean, crisp summer air…sucking it deeply into my lungs…hoping that my mind, body, and soul will be soothed. And I will remember that time clearly…and feel like I am there again.

Most of the time it is not soothed and I find myself left with a deep yearning that goes unfulfilled nearly every day of my life.The simple reason for all of this is the titanic melancholy I feel at peeking back into a world that is long gone and has been dead for way too many years…just like all those endless, youthful summers that were eternally magical…always…

The film was released in 1993 and did bring about a brief wave of 70′s nostalgia but that was soon lost to new trends, ideas and really fucking awful lifestyle choices. And that nostalgia was mostly filled with pretense although some bands like Oasis and Paul Weller sought to make a point of injecting Bowie, Zeppelin, and T-Rex dripped style into their music and largely succeeded. Every year that goes by puts more and more distance between us and that wonderful world that Richard Linklater, the film’s director and writer, showed us. What is this world like?

It’s a simple place filled with people and laughter. The women are gorgeous in their hip hugging jeans and long beautiful hair. The men are extremely cool in their muscle cars, t-shirts, jeans and Chucks. There is no Facebook, no texting, on cell phones, no iPods, nor DVD players. There’s hanging out and actually having a live conversation while driving in a car and listening to an 8 track player as opposed to sitting in front of a computer. There are drive-in movies and drive-in burger joints. There’s pot smoking in the bedroom and quick sprays of air freshener as the parents unexpectedly knock on the door.

Most of all, there is a lot of fun.

This fun reveals itself in a myriad of ways…a primary focus of which is to party with beer and pot. Looking at the partying that goes on in the film through the lens of 2010, the melancholy bubbles up and overwhelms me. In today’s culture, this sort of behavior is either insanely surpassed by a whole host of unhealthy drugs like Crystal Meth or is massively derided by narrow-minded people who view any sort of drug taking as being The End. In some ways, the latter group is right. People smoke pot and drink these days for all the wrong fucking reasons. This is likely due to the fact that people are so much more stupid now than they were 35 years ago….Mike Judge’s Idiocracy nearly complete (and 500 years early).

The dichotomy between today and 1976 is presented quite eloquently in the character of Wooderson, the first major role for Matthew McConaughey. It is my view that he is Linklater’s answer to Joseph Campbell’s mono mythical hero. Wooderson conveys universal truths about his place in history and transcends his own role in his culture while building new meaning regarding the relationship between the two. He is a Campbell archetype and he fits this role perfectly.

Stylistically, this is eloquently conveyed when he walks into the Rec Center with Randy and Mitch. The Tarrentino slo-mo backed with the choice track, “Hurricane” by Bob Dylan drives the meaning of this world home. The Rec Center was THE place to be back then…..even up to the summer before my senior year (1984). Every town had one filled with pool tables, foosball. and later, Tron and Missile Command. Sadly, these are all gone now as people just stay home in their little cyberpunk pods of entertainment. There is no face to face conversation or checking out girls or boys in person. Instead, we have Match.com and instant messaging via Twitter. Oh boy…

Every time I watch this film – every single time – my mind drifts back to my friends’ older brothers and sisters who lived through this age. As a 9 year old in 1976, they were the coolest people I had ever seen (next to my dad and John Lennon). But it wasn’t just them. Even my mom, age 30 at that time, would not stop playing Dreamboat Annie by Heart and Rumours by Fleetwood Mac. Those records are also mixed up in my 70′s dreamwarp Monet haze. When I listen to them, I think of Dazed and Confused, and when I watch the film, I think of those records even though there were songs from neither album in the film. They are inexorably tied together.


All of the characters in the film exemplify this haze but none more so than Wooderson. He’s in his 20s but he still hangs out with teenagers. This would never be allowed to happen today (in our hyper fearful and giant leap of paranoia culture) as he would immediately be considered “weird” and possibly a pedophile. He parties quite a bit…getting his “third wind” for another round of drinking and pot smoking at 4am on the 50 yard line of the high school football field. Again, if this happened today he would essentially be considered a gun running drug dealer who wants to destroy us all. In short, Wooderson would be labeled a loser by the narrow minded ass hats who sadly define our socio-cultural context today – his actions…deplorable.

But he does all these things, though, throughout the course of the film while working for the city and contemplating a return to college….just like most of the people I knew back in the day. As he speaks of himself earlier in the film, one gets the sense that he generally has a handle on his life…he parties hard but works hard as well. Unlike the youth of today, he doesn’t feel like he is entitled to anything.

Sadly, the youth of today imagine themselves as Vinnie Chase (Entourage) or a cast member of The Jersey Shore, and their idea of partying and fun is done within the framework of these images. It’s empty…hollow…devoid of any real passion…completely lacking in the important elements of deep soul…music…and love. In short, it is nothing like the world of Dazed and Confused where people got ripped but it meant something. Ironic that the youth of today are far more “dazed and confused,” than the youth of 1976 who honestly weren’t either at all.

We see wisps of the World of Wooderson here and there. A great example of this would be the voice of Kelly Jones and his music with Stereophonics. The Subways and the Stone Temple Pilots are two other bands that seem to have shining hints of this forgotten world. For the most part, however, it’s gone. Our society has moved on and that wonderful culture that truly meant so much to me and many others is effectively dead and buried.

For the most part people just don’t live, love and party like they did in the film Dazed and Confused – like they did in the 70s. Either they are too square, too uptight, too boring or the exact opposite – too wild, too crazy, and far too out of control. Far too infrequently, I see a ray of hope.

On this rare occasion here and there, I’ll sit with some friends – a few of the them women in hip hugging jeans – have a conversation that’s actually in person, listen to some great music (playing actual vinyl!), and remember – if only for a few, fleeting moments – that wonderful world.  If I’m lucky, I might actually feel like I’m back there. Most times, though, someone will pull out a cell phone and look at their texts.

Rest in Peace, Wooderson. At least I will always remember you.

Ickmusic’s Top 10 iPhone Music Apps

Aug 16th

Posted by Pete in Tech

iphone music apps

Let’s face it, not only am I a music geek, but my iPhone may as well be an extension of my physical being. In the four years I’ve owned one, outside of showers and the swimming pool, I can hardly recall it ever leaving my side.

Naturally, my App Store consumption leans heavily toward the music apps. There are so many different ways to consume music on the iPhone (outside of the iPod), that it’s enough to make a grown music nerd cry.

So here are the ten music apps that get most of my time and attention. Feel free to add any recommendations in the Comments section below. I’m all about recommendations…

10. iConcertCal ($2.99)

iConcertCal is a powerful live music app. It takes a look at your location (or you can specify your own), and shows you the live shows scheduled to stop by your town. The “My Shows” section scans your iPhone iPod and shows you only those artists’ upcoming shows. To see every show scheduled to hit your area, go to the “All Shows” section. There’s also a “Venues” and a “Search” option. I’ve found it to be comprehensive, from the smallest club shows to the arena mega-tours.

Also recommended is iConcertCal for Windows or Mac. It integrates with your media player and serves the same function.

9. Pandora (free)

Unless you’re living under a rock, odds are you’ve heard of Pandora. But it’s popular for a reason – it’s a fantastic way to discover new music. Just sign in and start a new radio station based on an artist/band or a song, then sit back and enjoy. Pandora will select similar music based on your choice, and you have the option of giving it a thumbs up or thumbs down to tailor Pandora more to your liking.

Also cool: if you have, say, 10 different radio stations – from the Rolling Stones to Willie Nelson to Miles Davis – you can tap on the “Quick Mix” feature to shuffle it up between all ten of your stations. It makes for a Pandora playlist of cool little surprises.

8. LastFm (free)

A lot of us use LastFM to “scrobble” our music listening – that is, it keeps track of what we listen to and displays corresponding charts on our profile pages. LastFm then recommends music based on our listening habits, and shows how compatible we are with other LastFM users (if you’re on LastFM, feel free to shoot me a friend request. I’m ick1999).

I’ve been signed up since 2004, and I’ve pretty much established that Prince and Bruce Springsteen reign supreme in my world. I use the app mostly for its “Recommended” feature. There’s also a “My Library” option which will play only music that you’ve listened to before (playing from its own music collection). And, like Pandora, you can also play artist radio – pick a band or song, and LastFm will take you on a musical journey of similar music.

7. Shazam (free)

If you have an iPhone, you probably already have Shazam – the app that “listens” to a song, and tells you what’s playing. Just tap “Tag Now”, place the iPhone close to a speaker, and Shazam will take 15 seconds or so to listen to and analyze the song. Then – shazam! – the song and artist.

Sure, we’ve all used it to impress a friend – but it does come in handy if you’re out and about and you hear a new song that catches your ear. If you’re one of those people who have to know what song you’re listening to, Shazam is your friend.

6. Concert Vault (free)

Brought to you by the good people at Wolfgang’s Vault, a mind-blowing site that has an extensive live concert vault section, this is the place to tune in and drop out. Their live concert archive houses thousands upon thousands of shows, from A Flock of Seagulls, Madness and Fiery Furnaces to Weather Report and Yes.

Tip: Pick out a sweet show on the Concert Vault app for your next workout or run. A good live show can help you through the exercise grind.

Oh, and if you’re on Twitter, make sure to follow @concertvault aka Pete. He loves feedback and suggestions. I requested some more Los Lobos in the vault, and soon enough, there they were: 2 new Lobos shows. Magic!

5. Soundcloud ($0.99)

If you’ve been zipping around the music blogs, you’ve likely seen the mp3’s that are hosted on Soundcloud – you know,  the embedded flash player with the visual sound waves. The reason I downloaded Soundcloud (just yesterday actually) was because Ronnie Wood has a new radio show, and they host and archive all the shows on Soundcloud.

If you’re on your computer, you can stream Ronnie’s show from the web site. But if you’re on the go, check in with Ronnie from the iPhone Soundcloud app.

A special thanks to Judd over at The 6149 for hipping me to this new show. Check out Judd’s post about the show. Then check out the rest of his site and subscribe / bookmark. If you want passion and insight, you came to the right place. I always leave his site even more excited about music. Oh, follow Judd on Twitter too.

4. Guitar Toolkit ($9.99)

A great app for guitar players (amateur to expert) – it has a tuner, a metronome, an interactive fretboard, and an extensive chord chart. I use it regularly to tune my gee-tars, and to look up that occasional elusive chord (“what the @&%$ is a Fsus4??”).

I’m sure there are some free similar guitar apps out there, but the fast, slick interface hooked me, and I think it’s worth the $10.

3. SiriusXM (free)

Okay, so you need to be a subscriber to Sirius-XM, obviously. This is an invaluable app for the gym, for work, for dozing off for a couple hours on a weekend afternoon… All the channels are covered – except for Howard Stern. Howard has some special deal in his contract, I’m guessing , that prohibits streaming the show to a mobile device (see #2 below for a workaround).

But all the other channels are there. I spend most of my time on The Loft, Elvis Radio, E Street Radio, Backspin, Jam On, Classic Rewind, Classic Vinyl, the Spectrum, the Bridge, Deep Tracks, and Outlaw Country. How ‘bout you?

2. Pocket Tunes Radio ($6.99)

Another app worth the coin. There are a ton of radio stations available: local terrestrial and public radio, tons of internet radio stations, and… Howard Stern. Pocket Tunes hooks up with the web interface of Sirius Internet Radio, where Howard is available. So all you have to do is select Howard 100 or Howard 101, sign in, and you’re streaming Howard to your iPhone.

So really, I only use Pocket Tunes for two purposes: Howard Stern and Radio Paradise, which after all these years on the interwebs, is still a wonderful place to hear eclectic music. Its playlists target AAA-centric older folks like me. A scan of their 5 most recent artists: U2, Miles Davis, Rickie Lee Jones, Tom Waits, and Allison Krauss and Union Station.

1. Rdio (free)

Rdio has pretty much taken over my life in the past few weeks. It’s a subscription-based streaming music site. Here’s the deal: I pay $9.99 per month for unlimited streaming on their web site, as well as unlimited access to their iPhone app. There are thousands upon thousands of albums and singlers – new and old – available. You can build a collection, add songs & albums to a queue, and create playlists (collaborate on playlists with other users too).

The best part about Rdio for me is being able to hear full albums before I make the decision to buy. As I’ve mentioned before, even that seems to be changing, as I’m just as content having some albums available only in my Rdio collection when I need them (old James Brown albums, early Band albums, etc.).

I know there are several similar services out there – MOG, Rhapsody, Napster, Grooveshark – but something about Rdio just clicked with me. I heartily recommend it. Drop in and say hi if you sign up.

33 Years Gone – Long Live the King

Aug 16th

Posted by Pete in Rock

1 comment

Thirty three years ago today, the world lost The King.

I’ve always been crazy about Elvis Presley, but his music and legacy means more to me these days than at any point in my life. The music I know and have loved for all these years simply never gets old, and I never tire of hearing “Treat Me Nice”, “Teddy Bear”, or “Are You Lonesome Tonight?”.

Then there’s the back catalog of Elvis Presley, the music I continue to discover. Listening to Sirius Elvis Radio earlier this year, I came across early gems like “Doncha’ Think It’s Time” and “Blue River”.

And then the bio. This year, I finally read Peter Guralnick’s masterful 2-part biography of Elvis: Last Train to Memphis: The Rise of Elvis Presley and Careless Love: The Unmaking of Elvis Presley; learning all about the King’s life – yes, the good and the not so good.  We all know that Elvis’s private life was wrought with imperfections – but who among us is perfect?

The important part is the music, and his role as consummate entertainer. Up to the year he died, he never lost his passion for singing, and for entertaining his throngs of fans.  Elvis Presley’s legacy and mystique live on.

Long live the King!
