pt Posted February 1, 2012 Report Share Posted February 1, 2012 Just discovered 'From the basement' a British TV show/webcast on Sky Arts here in the UK. It's an old school type of performance show, with no presenter or audience, just the band in a studio. It's produced by Nigel Godrich who has produced numerous albums for the likes of Radiohead, Pavement, U2, etc., he also records the sound for the show. It's a bit like the BBC's 'The Old Grey Whistle Test' from the 1970s but without 'Whispering' Bob Harris. Anyway, check out this link to see a great performance of Radiohead's Staircase from The King of Limbs album - http://www.fromthebasement.tv/home Also, The Dead Weather - http://www.fromthebasement.tv/live absolutely blowing the roof off with four tracks from Horehound. Fantastic! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frogpole Posted February 5, 2012 Report Share Posted February 5, 2012 Go to Youtube and listen to these groups: Po Girl, or Wailing Jennies, or Red Molly, or Be Good Tanyas, or Uncle Earl, or Abigail Washburn and listen to the sweet sounds of beautiful, plaintive women singers. Ciao, Sully Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Gilchrist Posted February 9, 2012 Report Share Posted February 9, 2012 Carole King wrote this song in 1960 when she was 18 years old, and the Shirelles took it to #1 on the charts in 1961. It was the first of 118 tunes she wrote or co-wrote to reach Billboard's Top 100 between 1960 and 2000. Today is Carole King's 70th birthday.

VASI Posted February 16, 2012 Report Share Posted February 16, 2012 We parted one dusk with tears in our eyes our love was meant to be torn in two pieces It hurts when i think about the beautiful nights when you were giving me sweet-sweet promises, kisses and caress With eagerness and pain in my heart i wait that one day you might return again in my arms.

seth Posted February 22, 2012 Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 I forgot about this great thread! These guys set up a bunch of mics and recorded for a month. I think it helped out a bit that the drummer is a professional studio mixer. Very inspiring to see new music created with the tools of today, and I'm not talking about just programming but iphones and ipads and tambourines. Awesome creativity in the record.

Jeff Wexler Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 Swedish folk group Väsen has been performing traditional Swedish music for more than twenty years. Fascinating instrument: "Front and center in the band’s music is the nyckelharpa, played by Johansson (who says the best approximation of his last name is “you want some”). The instrument dates back to the 14th century, if not earlier. It looks a bit like a long skinny fiddle with keys on one side. 'It’s a very resonating instrument, full of many sympathetic strings ringing along,' says Johansson. 'It’s a kind of sound with an edge to it, a sparkle of overtones when you’re playing.'

old school Posted February 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 That's why we need 'like' boxes Jeff. Really good all the way around IMO. I like. CrewC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olle Sjostrom Posted February 24, 2012 Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 played by Johansson (who says the best approximation of his last name is “you want some" 'You hand some' is closer nyckelharpa is cool. It's our banjo sort of. The ultimate Swedish folk instrument. Jeff, if you like Väsen i could give you tips on more similar artists. There is one that's a bit more experimental and some real traditional ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Gilchrist Posted February 27, 2012 Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 Wow! Johnny C and George on 2/25. Now that's a great birth date. CrewC A typo on my part. I should be banned from touch typing. Cash'a birthday is February 26, 1932. So George and Johhny don't share a birthday. I DID manage to get it right on the Facebook!
