Thanxxx in advance PS Great blog this one also. Best Danny. Hey there, I hope I haven't missed the boat on this one! Could you send to nycdguy gmail. Thanks so much! Thank you sooooo much!! Would dearly love this or any other Jason recording. Please send PM to dmiller comcast. Can you send me the "Bedtime with the Beatles" album to sirgreendown94 gmail. Not again. Never again. I'm at khaledabdullah94 gmail. Would love a copy of the Eloquence album if you still have it drewstuartwiles yahoo.
I would gobble up "Eloquence" in a heartbeat. Please hook me up. Muchas gracias! There is this kind of musician who is writing, releasing records and performing his own music for more than two decades - but misses the aim that is chart success? The one who creates stunning music and don't get any recognition by public, but by his loyal fans?
One of them is Jason Falkner. To sum it up: he may be one of the most underrated musicians of the last two decades. It's pure pop, and I love it. I have always wondered what die-hard Reed fans think of the record. It's so different from his other work. If you have shied away from his reords in the past, I think this is a good place to start. This could have been a big bore, but the songs are too good for that. There are a few clunkers here, most notably, 'Celluloid Heroes', but aging Kinks fans will find these takes very interesting.
Ray's brother Dave, still recovering from a stroke, may also join in on the fun. In other words, we could get a new Kinks record for the first time since One more tidbit: Davies will perform Nov. Set your DVRs! Ray Davies - Village Green mp3. Both of these sessions were chronicled on this eight-song CD that was first released in It went out of print soon after, and it was reissued with a slightly different cover in It's, sadly, out of print again, but there are many copies floating around on reseller pages like Amazon and eBay.
The first four songs were recorded on Aug. It's interesting that of the other three songs performed that day, only one -- "Close Action" -- appeared on 'The Crossing'.
The band's next Radio 1 appearance, on Feb. Although 'The Crossing' wouldn't be released for several months, "Fields of Fire" was out as a single and racing up the charts.
Oddly, the band didn't perform the song that day, but all four songs they played were from the debut album. You can't get me to believe this collection isn't worth two bucks.
The first two songs below are from the first session, and the second two are from the second session. Now you can purchase the five songs on Amazon and iTunes as a digital download, and I highly recommend it.
These are not throwaways, folks. I like them at least as much as the songs on the full-length record, and that's saying a lot since it's looking like the LP will make my year-end best list. I wouldn't mind getting my mitts on that 10" vinyl, too. God Help the Girl - Stills mp3. It's no secret 'Pet Sounds' is my favorite album of all time.
If you're going to cover any song from Brian Wilson's magnum opus, you had better have the goods. Here are four covers that, to varying degrees, successfully pay homage to this beautiful pop song. David Bowie's cover appeared on 'Tonight'. The album is generally considered one of his worst, and I won't argue. I thought the verse-to-verse build up and deep vocals were cool. I was only 13 when I got hooked on it.
So, this could be a case of nostalgia. As is usually the case, I didn't like the sax. Well, Petra Haden was a vocalist and violinist in the underrated '90s band That Dog. Since then, she has been releasing these really interesting a capella pieces, including the entire 'The Who Sell Out' album. If you end up enjoying her cover of "God Only Knows", you will probably like all of her work.
This song is available as a free download on her site. The Langley Schools Music Project was a chorus of 60 children from a rural school in western Canada, circa and Sometimes outsider music can be strange, creepy or just plain bad for the sake of being bad.
Since the release of the new, Jason Falkner-produced Daniel Johnston record, I have been thinking a lot about one of my biggest power-pop heroes. So, why haven't I been able to purchase new music by him since the 'Bliss Descending' EP way back in ? Falkner has actually had two full-length pop albums since then, 'I'm OK I have been waiting a loooong time for 'I'm OK You're OK' to be released domestically, and we have been promised several times that it is about to come out.
The last date we were given was early August When that date passed, we were told it would be out by the end of the year. Well, is rapidly coming to an end, and my patience is growing thin. As for 'All Quiet on the Noise Floor', Falkner has asked his American fans not to buy the Japanese import and wait for the domestic release. Record sales here, he argues, will help with the expense of touring the United States.
Jason, I'm not sure I can wait years for this one. For those of you not familiar with his work, here's why. Listen to these gems. Then get in line like the rest of us. You're OK. Posted by Brian at PM 4 comments:.
There is word of not one, but two, new releases in early from Merge artists, and they are both doozies. Spoon got us a little bit excited over the summer with the release of the 'Got Nuffin' EP, and now the label has set a Jan.
Here is the tracklist for their seventh LP, 'Transference': 1. Before Destruction 2. Is Love Forever? The Mystery Zone 4. Who Makes Your Money 5. Written in Reverse 6. I Saw the Light 7. Trouble Comes Running 8. Goodnight Laura 9. Out Go the Lights Got Nuffin It's been more than two years since 'Our Ill Wills', and I have really missed these Swedish popsters.
The show is following up M. Ward's appearance last weekend with Elvis Costello this weekend. Here's a look. On Friday, Pixies will be in Los Angeles for a few shows to mark the 20th anniversary of 'Doolittle'. Set your DVRs now! I'll just give a quick rundown and one of my favorites from Dave Grohl and Co. Here's 'Cold Change'. This brings us to the 12th and last single in the Big Country Chronicles series. We have covered them all from through this one at the end of Unfortunately, this one isn't exactly going out with a bang.
Obviously, it did nothing here in America. To be honest, I didn't even know until recently that "Hold the Heart" was ever a single. It is the only single in this five-year-period that I don't own. Sal, this song is really good! Put up some more stuff by Jason. Do a zip file or something, please? Nice tune, great performance. Can You Still Feel? Lyrically he can be a bit lazy ala Mr.
He writes amazing Power Pop epics - each a three minute wonder. Still you need to hear this record. Each tune is truly a gem some detractors say its not his best. I think that the only real problem here is that Jason plays all the instruments himself.
The songs are great but would be even better with the energy of a live band. Maybe next album. Still very strongly recommended! Purchase it at Amazon.
A couple of years back some great demos leaked out from Jason. Only one of these surfaced on the new album. Here are some of the best tracks from those sessions: Jason Falkner - Hello Mr. Future Demos. Download these and enjoy.
It's amazing how the cast-offs from this talented artist are better than most of what's out there. Posted by Haper at PM. Wow, awesome demos..
