Mr Day “Tears Of Joy” Video

http://www.dailymotion.com/videoxcewt8

Glad this found it’s way in to my inbox. Mr Day has a serious Jam/Style Council/Paul Weller hangover. Which is totally acceptable as not much of that seems to be happening these days. Mr Day’s album Small Fry will be released on 6/7/2010 and reportedly has three ( maybe ) appropriate covers Dusty Springfield’s “Spooky”, T.Rex “Get It On” ( now that I’m reading it both those songs already have popular covers ) Hopefully Mr Day will put his spin on Sebastian Williams’ “Get Your Point Over,”

Did You Hear That: Pebble To A Pearl

Pebble To A Pearl  Album Art

Nikka Costa did something good. Very good. Releasing her 3rd Lp free of a major label , instead working with the indie gofunkyyourself records along with Stax Records. Which makes sense because this record stanks of Stax records classics. It’s all there.

Did You Hear That?: Duffy “Rockferry”

Duffy Promo
Duffy’s sound is very nostalgic and retro. I’m not going to lie…she does
sound a bit like Amy Winehouse, but that isn’t such a bad thing. I mean
musicians bite off each others styles all the time, right?

      Do You Remember Rock & Roll?

      If not, let the Alabama Shakes remind you. They’re selling out shows across the country and their debut album isn’t even out for another couple months. I managed to see these blues-infused soul grabbers play a jam packed show at the Indy in San Francisco last night. Best overpriced scalped ticket I ever bought! Don’t [...]

      Love Letter from the West Coast

      Oh, hey there, East Coast! Looks like you had a bit of an earthquake, huh? Don’t worry, I’m not gonna razz you about it. You’re ill-equipped for the tremors. A big quake would be way more catastrophic there than it would be here. You’re right to be a little jumpy about it. Well, I’m no [...]

      Did You Hear That: Adele “21″ a brief review

      From the first beat of “Rolling in the Deep,” the first track on Adele’s new album, “21”, it is clear that even at such a young age (all of 22 now), singer/songwriter Adele continues to be a force stronger than she may know. As “21” dips into the style of the country South with a [...]

      So Sayeth Pam: The Raveonettes “Forget That You’re Young”

      I like a young American band that makes vintage-sounding reverbalicious melodies. Specifically if those bands are Crystal Stilts, Vivian Girls or Dum Dum Girls. Call me a nationalist but I just happen to prefer their take on fuzz pop to that of their Danish predecessors, the Raveonettes. Which is not to say I dislike the [...]
