SnC 174 - Wed 01 July 2009

Suffolk And Cool - Wed, 07/01/2009 - 21:03
Another fine collection of tunes ancient and mostly modern. This week in they've come in from Florida, France, California, Utah and Baden-WÃrttemberg, Germany starting with the Canadians this week and a finely crafted hooky pop track just right for the northern hemisphere summer.
I'm in Ibiza to visit my daughter Jessie this week some of the buildings in the old part of Ibiza Town (photo) are stunning and beautifully lit.

Clever - Whale Tooth (Toronto, Canada)
Whale Tooth are Elise LeGrow (vocals), Norman Maschke (guitar/vocals), Alex Denike (guitar/vocals), Michael McCreary (bass/vocals) and Sep Noroozi (drums)  came together in the winter of 2007.
A fine live performance on their MySpace illustrates their energy, well-crafted pop songs and attention to detail. Perhaps Elsie's jazz background lends her vocals an awareness of the musicians around her but together they create a tight, interweaving sound rather than just playing along with each other.
A string of dates next week around Quebec, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and PEI, playing venues including Babas, Whipper Snapper Gallery and Foggy Goggle!

When I die - Geri X (St Petersburg, Florida)
I played 3,000 lines of Defense a couple of weeks ago. This week it is a song that for me has echoes of Peter Gabriel and perhaps a little of the vocal strength of Mel C.  When I die is a song that deserves repeated listens, it is a real grower. You can have it now by clicking on the download link to IODA.

A Bre Ludo - Les InÃdits Tziganes (France)
The place where Balkan gypsy and rock 'n' roll meet. Great music and I just love the babelfish translation from the notes on their page at Jamendo:
"Between tradition and modernity, these six troublemakers made the choice of the interbreeding, opening the borders in turn with softness grÃe with the flÃte, the oboe, l'accordion, sometimes with violence by the distortion of the electric guitar and the impulses of the duet low - battery but always in a spirit impresses popular holidays."
OK, it is fast at translating. It is also pretty crap but sometimes deliciously wacky!

Blues Oval - AjT (Bordeaux, France)
Blues Oval has been on the PMN since October 07 when I last played a track from AjT who describes himself as a French geek, Apple lover, Serial blogger and podcaster living near Bordeaux. His music seems incidental but is rather fine, nevertheless. His site is more about Apple computers than music so just enjoy the track.
www.pommehappy.com/

Podsafe Music Network (now renamed as Music Alley from Mevio).
I get the feeling that although the PMN was a central part of what Adam Curry (former MTV presenter) and Ron Bloom (record producer) were doing with their startup company Podshow in the early days of podcasting, the focus has shifted almost entirely to the business of being a general popular media corporation. Shame, but perhaps inevitable.
Of course I may be quite wrong. If so, let me know by leaving a comment at the bottom of the notes for this show.

Profiticus Prolificus-3rd Movement: Dub Interlude - Cirque du Soul (CA)
From the EP Nautical Bean Tapes.
Cirque du Soul are five members from Ike Turner's band. Between tours with the Father of Rock & Roll, drummer Bill Ray procured a weekly gig at the soon-to-be famous Nautical Bean Coffee Company located in a picturesque setting at the harbor in Oceanside, Ca. Feeling the need for creative release, the goal was simple - come to the gig with no ideas in your head, no preconceptions of what would transpire. No predetermined arrangements of classic songs; a blank slate if you will. Some interesting 100% improvised tracks were captured.
Have a delve around on Billy Ray's site (hint, check "past bands").

Old Love - Kimo Watanabe (Utah, USA)
Rootsy. Raw. Soulful. Kimo has been playing the music that he loves at venues all over Utah and Hawai'i since 1999. He has played at numerous festivals and events in and around the Salt Lake Valley, and his music has been heard around the world on various podcasts and independent music shows.
Kimo Watanabe is a very old friend of Suffolk'n'Cool who I was delighted to hear from this week.
He tells us has a new Roots Reggae getting underway word of which seems to be spreading and some very talented folks want to get involved. The plan was just to recrord an album but it seems that live shows may be a possibility. It was one of Kimo's earlier reggae tunes (Pauoa Valley) that initially caught my ear. The Ukulele really seems to lend itself to reggae. Perhaps it is the percussive sound and lack of sustain that gives it the bite it needs. Whatever, I love it.

Echo Slightly: Run So Fast

Insomnia Radio Daily Dose - Wed, 07/01/2009 - 12:00

From their album Birds Fly South

Birds Fly South Echo Slightly is a downtempo project that draws influences from Massive Attack, Imogen Heap, Portishead, and The Gathering. In 2005, Morgan Long did guest vocals on Stabilizer’s “A Project Called Red” album. The track, called “Grey to Green,” demonstrated a keen chemistry between the her and them. 3 years later, they have released an album together under a new name.

And Now, Random Ramblings About Michael Jackson

Dave's Lounge - Wed, 07/01/2009 - 04:24

Download audio file (DavesLounge-RandomMJRamblings.mp3)

So I had a lot on my mind over the weekend, much of it tied up in the recent passing of Michael Jackson, and for whatever reason, I just decided to sit down and talk about it. I didn’t write any of this down beforehand, so I don’t think it came out quite the way I wanted it to, but there was no point in trying to make it better. After all, at some point, perfectionism becomes the enemy of art…

Thanks for bearing with me here. I’ll put a regular show together next week.

Exactly one year ago, on episode #22, all of the tunes I played were in the limited BPM range of the 150s. I recently received a compliment about that show from Michael on the JogTunes Facebook fan page. That prompted me to produce another single BPM range show. I chose the 160s because I believe most runners find it a comfortable range for working out. Some people may consider adding this episode to the 150s episode to create a very pleasant 80 minute, extended session. I welcome feedback about single range episodes and the concept of daisy chaining those shows. Please send your comments to comments at jogtunes.com or to my Twitter or Facebook pages.

Here are the artists, their locations, and the resources I consulted to find them:

By Personal Communication

  • Louinel Jean - Jamaica - BPM of 163
  • Rob Szabo - Ontario, Canada - 160
  • From CyberPR

  • Jessie Murphy In the Woods - New York - BPM of 169
  • Nick Dougherty - Los Angeles - 168
  • Trey Green - Boston - 166 and 168
  • From the Independent Online Distribution Alliance's Promonet

  • Eastern Sun and John Kelley - Venice, California - BPM 118
  • Dengue Fever - Los Angeles - 162
  • From Mevio's Music Alley

  • From the Rock and Roll Report Podcast

  • White Witch Canyon - East Bay, California - BPM 166

  • Please feel free to send comments about this and other episodes or about BPM running to comments at jogtunes.com, post them on our JogTunes.com Facebook fan page, or send me a tweet. I love to hear from you.

    Artist: Here Come The Birds
    Track: Sharp White Teeth

    A disturbing effort this week.

    For this video for Here Come The Birds from Newcastle, Australia, director James Hodgeson gives us a look into the dark heart of a city streets at night using the odd method of using mannequins. The completely silent dummies in the completely silent streets have a haunting effect that fits in nicely with the tone of the song. A very simple idea that works really well.
