Today’s Vegetable:
Straight Mackin’

August 25, 2009

Our deep breath continues today with this delicious instrumental, delivered to us on a slow soul boat via the warm waters of the Numero Group.
It’s taken from their retrospective of Detroit’s Big Mack label, which in Numero’s words “lasted an incredible twenty years with out so much as a sniff of a hit.”
Of course, they’re [...]

Rest In Peace, Guitar Explorer

June 25, 2009

A belated farewell to Bob Bogle, who whammied his way into the hearts of the world and helped create a whole new kind of rock.
Until Bogle’s passing prompted me to do a little reading, I knew nothing about the Ventures other than the classic 60s songs. But a little research learned me that the Ventures [...]

Today, I make amends for publicizing yesterday’s false prophet by posting Bible-related music that (being wordless and beautiful)  heeds closer to the meaning of the Word.

Pass The Morning Bun, Please

March 10, 2009

I was fortunate enough to hear this song twice last week while filling myself with pastries and sweating over my laptop at good ol’ 33 Revolutions (the coffee shop that turns you on). I was unfortunate enough to see this picture on the album cover.
When the subject matter is removed from Bobbie Gentry’s song, the [...]

How Did This Hay Get In My Socks

June 25, 2008

I like this guy. He knows what an album is for. Voice Of The Seven Woods’ primarily instrumental debut takes you on a well-paced journey — mostly on the back of an acoustic-folk hay wagon, but sometimes you get dragged through the middle of a freakout vortex or along the ocean floor.
That’s life.
Voice Of The [...]

Here’s a nice twitchy asswiggler from some local boys done good. This was available at 128kbps (with the mp3 Genre tag “Don’t call it Lazer Bass”) at XLR8R, but the Mob had mercy on music lovers and put it up on their own site at 320kbps.
Numbers numbers blah blah SHAKE IT!!!

Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo, Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo

March 24, 2008

When my wife and I went to the Country Music Hall Of Fame maybe ten years ago, there was an associated tour of “RCA Studio B.” I wasn’t too sure about this side trip, which necessitated a bus ride and seemed a little dollar-grubby.
When we arrived at Studio B, my cynicism seemed validated. There [...]

Boop Boop Beep CRASH CRASH

March 18, 2008

This post originally started with a little bit about the amount of primarily instrumental music that’s out there these days. But as I was writing it, I kept listening to the album today’s song comes from and now all I have to say is:
HOLY FUCK IS GREAT
