The Arcade Fire - London Maida Vale Studios

Recorded for Lamacq Live on BBC Radio 1

Tracks:
1. Laika (Neighbourhood #2)
2. Power Out (Neighbourhood #3)
3. Rebellion (Lies)

The Arcade Fire is an indie rock band from Montreal, Quebec, Canada. Its members are Win Butler, Régine Chassagne, Richard Reed Parry, William Butler, Tim Kingsbury, Sarah Neufeld, and Jeremy Gara. Howard Bilerman, who played drums on the album Funeral, has since moved on to other projects. As of May 2005, the touring band includes horn player Pietro Amato and violinist Owen Pallett. Pallett has also opened for their shows, appearing as the one-man band Final Fantasy.

The band’s trademark fashion is the waistcoat, giving them an air of "frumpiness". When asked about the rumour that the band's name refers to a fire in an arcade, Win Butler replied: "It's not a rumour, it's based on a story that someone told me. It's not an actual event, but one that I took to be real. I would say that it's probably something that the kid made up, but at the time I believed him."

Porcupine Tree - Metanoia,Staircase Infinities

Porcupine Tree are a British progressive rock band formed in Hemel Hempstead, Hertfordshire, England. The most successful project by musician Steven Wilson, as evidenced by its growing popularity, Porcupine Tree is also one of the most original and creative groups of its generation. With their mix of early progressive rock, psychedelia, ambient and (more recently) metal as well, they have crafted a body of work quite impressive for its diversity, and the distinctive quality of the sound in their recordings. All this shouldn't come as that much of a surprise, given the fact that self-taught audio engineer and producer Wilson is very well famed for being a hard worker, and listens to many different genres of music for inspiration, as he once commented: "I like so many different types of things and they all go into the melting pot if you like that produces the music of Porcupine Tree."

Metanoia is a limited edition album by British progressive rock band Porcupine Tree, first released in December, 1998. It's mostly made up of experimental outakes from the Signify sessions.

Jack Johnson - Discography

Brushfire Fairytales is the name of the 2001 debut album by Hawaiian-born singer-songwriter and filmmaker Jack Johnson. The recording achieved a moderate degree of fame for Johnson, who has stated that he never intended to pursue a career in music, already having attended university for film. It features straightforward pop arrangements of Johnson's songs, primarily medium-paced acoustic-rock. The cover features a photograph of Johnson in a hooded raincoat, standing in the rain.

The album's primary musicians are: Jack Johnson (vocals/guitars/piano), Adam Topol (drums/percussion) and Merlo (bass). It was produced by J.P. Plunier, recorded & mixed by Todd Burke, with assistant engineers Andrew Alekel & Chad Essig. It was recorded at Grandmaster Recorders, King Sound, and mastered by Dave Collins. Guests include Tommy Jordan (steel drums on "Flake") and Ben Harper (slide guitar on "Flake").

On and On (2003) was the second album released by the musician Jack Johnson, who provided the vocals and guitars. Adam Topol and Merlo Podlewski played the percussion and bass respectively. The album was recorded at The Mango Tree studios in Hawaii.

In Between Dreams is the third album by singer-songwriter Jack Johnson, who provided the vocals and guitars. It was released by Brush Fire Records on March 1, 2005. Adam Topol and Merlo Podlewski played the percussion and bass respectively.

Sing-A-Longs and Lullabies (for the film Curious George) is a soundtrack album by Jack Johnson and friends. Along with Johnson it features Adam Topal, Ben Harper, G. Love, Kawika Kahiapo, Matt Costa, Merlo Podlewski and Zach Gill. It was released on February 7, 2006 topping the Billboard Top 200 chart in its debut week.

Calexico - Hot Rail

Early history

Calexico had its origins in 1990 when Burns, who was studying music at the University of California, Irvine, met up with Convertino, who was playing drums with Howe Gelb in Giant Sand. Burns joined them, after first playing upright bass on a European tour.

Giant Sand moved to Tucson, Arizona in 1994. John and Joey formed the Friends of Dean Martin (later the Friends of Dean Martinez) which scored a record deal with Sub Pop. However, the pair split up with Bill Elm, the co-founder of The Friends of Dean Martinez in 1996. The band subsequently became a kind of indie rhythm section for hire, working with the likes of Victoria Williams, Barbara Manning and Richard Buckner before forming Calexico.

Alice in Chains - Heroin

Alice in Chains were an influential grunge group formed by lead singer Layne Staley(1967-2002) in the mid-1980s as Alice N' Chains before the spelling of the name was changed. The name derived from their early stages as a band when the group would dress in drag at concerts. Along with Nirvana, Pearl Jam, and Soundgarden, Alice in Chains was one of the most commercially successful bands from the Seattle, Washington grunge music scene. Unlike many of their peers, Alice in Chains owed more to heavy metal than to punk or '70s rock, but the group became closely associated with grunge due to their Seattle roots, the image they often presented (e.g., denim jeans, Dr. Martens boots, etc.), and their introspective and sometimes morbid lyrics.

Kings of Convenience - Versus

History

Erlend and Eirik were both born in 1975 (Erlend on November 21 and Eirik on October

20), and have known each other since the age of eleven. At sixteen, they played together in the band Skog ("forest") with two other friends, releasing one EP Tom Tids Tale, before breaking up and later forming the Kings duo.

The twosome found the American label Kindercore after appearing in European festivals during the summer of 1999. In 2001, they released their debut album Quiet Is the New Loud. The album was very successful and even lent its name to a small movement of musicians in the pop underground which took Belle and Sebastian and Simon and Garfunkel as their inspiration, trying to focus on more subtle melodies and messages,
such as Turin Brakes.

The remix album Versus came out shortly after the Quiet. After this breakthrough year,
not much was heard from the band. Øye spent the next few years living in Berlin
and doing solo material, releasing music under the DJ Kicks series.

It was not until 2004 that the Kings' follow-up Riot on an Empty Street was released.
The video made for I'd Rather Dance With You, the second single from Riot on an Empty Street,
topped MTV's European list as the best music video of 2004. It also featured contributions by Leslie Feist.

Both Øye and Bøe sing in their tracks, and both of them compose.

The Organ - Grab That Gun

The Organ was conceived in 2000 by frontwoman Katie Sketch, born Katie Richie, in Vancouver, Canada. Sketch's musical training started at the age of three, when she began classical training on the violin. Her childhood was spent largely in ignorance of the underground sounds of The Cure, Joy Division and The Smiths, whom The Organ would later often be compared to. "Tiffany and Bon Jovi - that was my take on ’80s music."

[Modern Music Review]:
Now there are lots of indie rock band on the market.But only some of them can take a place on my heart.
The organ is one of favorite.I recommend this album because I found vocals so powerfull that power make you
feel miserable,helpless and crying.But They haven't an ordinary sound.The musics are dynamic.So you can feel
misery and happy in same pool.I wanted to say pool because people leave all of their load when docking.Start to listen this album from first track to last track and think that ''What are your feelings about this album?''Unidentified feelings?..:)

Ringleader of the Tormentors is the title of Morrissey's new album. Billboard magazine described the album as showcasing "a thicker, more rock-driven sound''; Morrissey attributes this change in sound to new guitarist Jesse Tobias. The album will be released on 3 April 2006 internationally and on 4 April 2006 in North America. The album will be released on the Attack Records label.

Recording for the album commenced in late August 2005 in Rome. Mixing began in late October 2005.

The first single from the album will be "You Have Killed Me". It will be released on 27 March 2006. The single is said to effectively illustrate the new sound of the album.

Originally Morrissey was to record the album with producer Jeff Saltzman, however he could not undertake the project. Early in recording Morrissey's publicist described it as "the most full-on rock record Morrissey's ever done. It's a balls-to-the-wall rock record, not a slow one like the last one." Yet in typical Morrissey style this seems to have been a myth. Producer Tony Visconti, of T. Rex and David Bowie fame, took over the production role and Morrissey announced on true-to-you.net, a respected fanzine site, that Ringleader of the Tormentors is to be "the most beautiful—perhaps the most gentle, so far."

Tony Visconti wrote on his website on the 1st November 2005: "We have been working on the music and each day it just sounds better and better. I find every musician in the band a joy to work with. Morrissey's vocals are passionate and confident. Right now I'm at the mixing stage and most of the musicians have gone home. I am two thirds of the way through one of the best albums I've ever worked on, with not only Morrissey at his best, but the plot has twists and turns which somehow involve film composer Ennio Morricone and an Italian children's choir. That should whet your appetite, you Moz fans, you!"

The final track listing was announced by True to You on 15 November, 2005.

The musicians recording with Morrissey in Rome were: Jesse Tobias, Alain Whyte, Boz Boorer, Gary Day, Mikey Farrell and Matt Chamberlain. Matt replaced Dean Butterworth who decided to continue drumming for Good Charlotte. Marco Origel, from the San Francisco area, engineered the album.

Ten Years After - Cricklewood Green[rock’n roll]

History

Formed in 1967, the band received an invitation to play at the Windsor Jazz Festival, which led to a contract with Dream, a child company of Decca — the first band so signed without a hit single.

After touring Scandinavia and America, Ten Years After released their second album, Undead, which included the hit single "I'm Going Home". This was followed by Stonedhenge, a British hit. In 1969, they appear at the Newport Jazz Festival, in the first event to which rock bands were invited. In August, Ten Years After performed a breakthrough American appearance at Woodstock; their nearly ten-minute, furious-to-slow-to-furious rendition of "I'm Going Home" was featured in both the subsequent film and soundtrack album.

During 1970, Ten Years After released "Love Like a Man", their first hit single in the UK. In August, Ten Years After played the Isle of Wight Festival 1970 to an audience of 600,000 hippies. Their set was hightlighted by performances of "I'm Going Home" as well as the blistering guitar solo and tuning parts on "I Can't Keep From Crying".

In 1971, the band released the album A Space In Time, which featured their biggest hit, "I'd Love To Change The World", a hippie anthem of sorts, protesting the Vietnam War and possibly even capitalism itself. At this point in time, Ten Years After were in their heyday: at the beginning of their twelfth US tour, they played to a sold out Madison Square Garden of 20,000 fans.

Taking the second half of 1973 off to pursue side projects, news of a band breakup ran rampant, but the album Positive Vibrations was still recorded and released in 1974. After a tour of the UK, and their last tour (number 28) in the US, Ten Years After broke up.

Ten Years After reunited in 1983 for a tour of the UK, and in 1988 for several American concerts and a single album, About Time (1989).

In between times, Alvin Lee fronted a band called "Ten Years Later" with a bass player and drummer who did some UK gigs, including the Bristol Coulston Hall.

In 2003, a version of "Ten Years After" reappeared featuring every original member except Joe Gooch. The new guitarist is Alvin Lee.

Leonard Cohen - Death of a Ladies Man

Leonard Norman Cohen, CC (born September 21, 1934 in Montreal, Quebec, Canada) is a Canadian poet, novelist, and singer-songwriter. His musical career has largely overshadowed his prior work as a poet and novelist, although he has continued to publish poetry sporadically after his breakthrough in the music industry.

Musically, Cohen's early songs are based in folk music, both for melodies and instrumentation, but, beginning in the 1970s, his work shows the influence of various types of popular music and cabaret music. Since the 1980s he typically sings in a deep bass register, with synthesizers and female backing vocals.

Cohen's songs are often emotionally heavy and lyrically complex, owing more to the metaphoric word play of poetry than to the conventions of song craft. His work often explores the themes of religion, isolation, and complex interpersonal relationships.

Cohen's music has become very influential on other singer-songwriters, and more than a thousand cover versions of his work have been recorded. He is also popular in his native land, having been inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame and awarded the Order of Canada, the nation's highest civilian honor.

Pearl Jam - Ten,Binaural

Pearl Jam - Ten

Ten is Pearl Jam's first album, released on August 27, 1991 through Epic Records.

In 1998 Q magazine readers voted Ten the 54th greatest album of all time; in 2003 the TV network VH1 placed it at number 79. It is number 207 on Rolling Stone's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time.

While the song "Black" charted #3 on the Mainstream Rock charts, it was never actually released as a single.

Pearl Jam - Binaural

Several tracks on the album were recorded using binaural recording techniques, hence the title. These can usually be identified by a warm sound to the music, such as in "Of The Girl".

The album contains a hidden track entitled "Writer's Block". It occurs several minutes after the last track "Parting Ways" has finished, and is the sound of the keys on Eddie's typewriter being aggressively hit.

Neil Young - Harvest (1972)

Harvest is an album by Neil Young, which was the best-selling album of 1972. The album featured several high calibre guests, including the London Symphony Orchestra, Linda Ronstadt, Stephen Stills, Graham Nash and James Taylor. Harvest hit #1 on the Billboard Music Charts (North America) pop albums chart.

From the article on Neil Young: After the supergroup split, Young recruited a new group of country session musicians, which he christened The Stray Gators and recorded a country rock record in Harvest. Catching the mood that would soon lift The Eagles to superstardom, Harvest was a massive hit, producing a US number one single in "Heart Of Gold". Other songs returned to some usual Young themes: "Alabama" was a rehash of "Southern Man"; "Words" featured a lengthy guitar workout with the band and "The Needle and the Damage Done" chronicled Danny Whitten's descent into heroin addiction. The album's success caught Young off guard and his first instinct was to back away from stardom. He would later write that "Heart Of Gold put me in the middle of the road. Travelling there soon became a bore so I headed for the ditch. A rougher ride but I saw more interesting people there."

In 1998 Q magazine readers voted Harvest the 64th greatest album of all time. In 1996, 2000 and 2005, Chart's polled readers to determine the 50 greatest Canadian albums of all time; Harvest placed second in all three polls (losing the top spot to Joni Mitchell's Blue in 2000, and to Sloan's Twice Removed in the other two polls.)

Patti Smith - Horses (1975)

Horses is the debut album by Patti Smith released in November of 1975, and produced by John Cale. The most innovative track is "Land", a radical reworking of Chris Kenner's' "Land of a Thousand Dances". "Gloria" is a similar reinterpretation of the old Van Morrison classic.

Smith has been called an early pioneer of punk rock, such as by allmusic's William Ruhlman, who said that it "isn't hard to make the case for Patti Smith as a punk rock progenitor based on Horses", while PopMatters' David Antrobus chose it as his favorite album and considered it a life-changing classic. Horses peaked at #47 on Billboard Music Charts' Pop Albums chart.

Faith No More - The Platinum Collection (2006)

Faith No More was an influential metal and alternative rock group that formed in San Francisco, California in 1982 and disbanded in 1998. The band is probably best known for the singles "Epic" and "Falling to Pieces" from their 1989 album The Real Thing, and, particularly in Europe, for their cover version of the Commodores' classic "Easy".

Their music is difficult to categorize neatly, but is rooted in heavy metal. In some ways they anticipated the nu metal of the late 1990s, combining angular, distorted guitars with big pop choruses and occasional rap-style vocals; the astounding vocals of Mike Patton adding greatly to Faith No More's distinctive sound. Faith No More have been classified as alternative metal, demonstrating their talent for incorporating elements of funk, rap, soul and synth pop into their sound.

Bonnie 'Prince' Billy & Tortoise play Springsteen - Thunder Road

I don't know what to say about But Someting make me to say that this is the best cover of this year.And also best cover of last 5 year.I'm listening and listening but still same feeling about this song amazing.Guitars,melodies are the reason of being melancholic.Melody is a place where you find broken glasses and Wilt of a flower.So much pain in this song.And I love this pain that makes me cry and smile at same time.

Calexico - Convict Pool

Calexico quickly followed their excellent Feast of Wire album with the Convict Pool EP, a collection of covers and original songs that all bear the stamp of the band's dramatic Southwestern sound. The EP kicks off with their version of the Love classic "Alone Again Or," which, along with the title track, was also released as a single in Europe in 2003. Recruiting Swedish singer Nicolai Dunger, Calexico build on the mariachi theme of the original and also give their rendition a more subdued feel. It may not have the heartbreaking drama of Love's rendition, but this version is more than just an experiment and works well on its own terms. The EP's title track, meanwhile, is in keeping with the softer, more singer/songwriter-oriented side of their music, which they explored on Feast of Wire with great success. Joey Burns' pleading vocals and John Convertino's wonderfully expressive -- but not flashy -- drumming come to the fore on this track as well as their cover of Francoiz Breut's "Si Tu Desais." The second half of Convict Pool lightens up with the rowdy cover of the Minutemen's "Corona," a staple of Calexico's live set, the Eastern European-inspired "Praskovia," and "Sirena," a theatrical original with Spanish backing vocals done by some lovely senoritas. These tracks have more of a "throwaway" feel than the first half of Convict Pool, but it's still a joy to hear Calexico in a looser and more playful mood. That playful mood extends to the EP's multimedia content, an animated short from The Cartoon Network called El Kabong Rides Again that features The Black Light's "Minas del Cobre" as its soundtrack. While this isn't quite as essential a Calexico release as Feast of Wire, Convict Pool is a lot of fun and one of the best short-format works they've issued yet.

Neutral Milk Hotel - In the Aeroplane Over the Sea

In the Aeroplane Over the Sea

The band's second LP, In the Aeroplane over the Sea, released in 1998, is notable as a critically acclaimed work and a widely popular recording. It is a spiritually motivated work conceptually based on the beauty to be found in the horrific fate of Anne Frank and similarly overwhelming tragedies. (Mangum has, during live performances, including the one released under the title "Live at Jittery Joes", described some of the songs off this album as based on urgent, recurring dreams he had of a Jewish family during World War II.) The album was highly praised by critics for its wildly inventive instrumentation and Mangum's provocative and impassioned lyrics. Although it met with scant response from the general public when it was released, the recording has continued to gain momentum in indie music circles and has become a cult classic, selling well over 100,000 copies according to Merge Records. However, the record along with the year of constant touring that succeeded it took its toll on Mangum. The band quite abruptly went on hiatus turning down all requests for shows, including a support slot for R.E.M.. All of a sudden the band appeared to go silent and very little has been heard from Mangum since.

Jack Johnson Live at Orpheum Theatre

Jack Johnson (born May 18, 1975) is a Hawaii-born singer-songwriter who has achieved commercial success and a dedicated following since the release of his 2001 debut album, Brushfire Fairytales. His newest album is entitled Sing-A-Longs and Lullabies for the Film Curious George.
Johnson had been a professional surfer until an accident, in which he broke his nose, got his front teeth knocked out and got more than 150 stitches to his mouth and forehead, forced him to take some time off. He learned to play guitar at age 14, but did not seriously pursue a career in the arts until his college years at University of California at Santa Barbara, where he graduated with a degree in film. After graduating, Jack decided to take time out travelling (1997-98) when he co-directed and shot the purist surf film Thicker Than Water to be released later. Making friends with Garrett Dutton aka G.Love of G.Love and Special Sauce, he recorded "Rodeo Clowns" with them to be released on their 1999 album "Philadelphonic". This launched his music career and eventually lead to the release of his first album, Brushfire Fairytales in 2001 to aid in the "Thicker than Water" soundtrack.

The Jam - In The City (1977)

In the City was the debut album of British Punk band The Jam. It was released in 1977 (see 1977 in music) by Polydor Records and featured the hit single and title track "In the City".
Launching the career of singer, guitarist, and songwriter Paul Weller, who remains a successful solo artist to this day, the trio was known for its high-energy, hard-hitting pop songs, distinctly British flavour, and sharp mod image. All three members were skilled musicians and made critical contributions to the group’s sound. Weller wrote and sang virtually all of the group’s original compositions, and drove them with the chiming tones of a Rickenbacker guitar. Bassist Bruce Foxton made up for the group’s lack of a second guitarist by carrying much of the melody in his distinctive playing, a confluence of the power of John Entwistle with the speed and melodicism of Paul McCartney. His instantly memorable basslines were the foundation of many of the group’s songs, including the hits "Down in the Tube Station at Midnight", "The Eton Rifles", and "A Town Called Malice". Foxton’s sweet harmonies also gave the group another memorable cachet. Drummer Rick Buckler played with the full-on energy of Keith Moon, but dispensed with Moon’s flashiness in favour of steady but intricate beats and subtle, deft touches. Despite having only three members, The Jam are still regarded as one of the most powerful and fiery groups in British rock.

Go Team - Thunder, Lightning, Strike

Thunder, Lightning, Strike is the debut album by The Go! Team. It was released on British label Memphis Industries in 2004 (see 2004 in music) and was nominated for the 2005 Mercury Music Prize.

The album was re-released in the U.S. and UK by Columbia Records in October 2005. It was slightly remixed (due to sample clearance issues) and contains bonus tracks.

The Go! Team are a Brighton, United Kingdom-based six piece band (with two drummers) whose songs are a mixture of action theme songs, cheerleader chants, indie-rock guitars and early hip-hop, with a hint of '70s funk. They place more emphasis on live instrumentation than some of their contemporaries, although they do base many of their songs around samples from various sources.

U2 - Discography

Biography:
Through a combination of zealous righteousness and post-punk experimentalism, U2 became one of the most popular rock & roll bands of the '80s. Equally known for their sweeping sound as for their grandiose statements about politics and religion, U2 were rock & roll crusaders during an era of synthesized pop and heavy metal. The Edge provided the group with a signature sound by creating sweeping sonic landscapes with his heavily processed, echoed guitars. Though the Edge's style wasn't conventional, the rhythm section of Adam Clayton and Larry Mullen, Jr. played the songs as driving hard rock, giving the band a forceful, powerful edge that was designed for arena rock. And their lead singer, Bono, was a frontman who had a knack of grand gestures that played better in arenas than small clubs. It's no accident that footage of Bono parading with a white flag with "Sunday Bloody Sunday" blaring in the background became the defining moment of U2's early career -- there rarely was a band that believed so deeply in rock's potential for revolution as U2, and there rarely was a band that didn't care if they appeared foolish in the process. During the course of the early '80s, the group quickly built up a dedicated following through constant touring and a string of acclaimed records. By 1987, the band's following had grown large enough to propel them to the level of international superstars with the release of The Joshua Tree. Unlike many of their contemporaries, U2 were able to sustain their popularity in the '90s by reinventing themselves as a postmodern, self-consciously ironic dance-inflected pop/rock act, owing equally to the experimentalism of late-'70s Bowie and '90s electronic dance and techno. By performing such a successful reinvention, the band confirmed its status as one of the most popular bands in rock history, in addition to earning additional critical respect.

The Smiths - Singles

Useful Informations:
The Smiths may have been at the height of their popularity in early 1987, with the non-LP singles "Shoplifters of the World" and "Sheila Take a Bow" reaching number 11 and 10 respectively, and the singles and B-sides compilation The World Won't Listen (revamped for U.S. release as Louder Than Bombs later in 1987) debuting at number two, but Marr was growing increasingly disenchanted with the band and the music industry. Over the course of the year, Morrissey and Marr became increasingly irritated with each other. The singer wished that Marr would stop playing with other artists like Bryan Ferry and Billy Bragg, while the guitarist was frustrated with Morrissey's devotion to '60s pop and his hesitancy to explore new musical directions. A few weeks before the fall release of Strangeways, Here We Come disbanded the group shortly afterward and began a solo career, signing with Parlophone in the U.K. and staying with the Smiths' U.S. label, Reprise. , Marr announced that he was leaving the Smiths. MorrisseyMarr played as a sideman with a variety of artists, eventually forming Electronic with New Order frontman Bernard Sumner. Rourke retired from recording and Joyce became a member of the reunited Buzzcocks in 1991.

Supergrass - I Should Coco

[modern music recommended]
I Should Coco was Supergrass's 1995 debut album. This album was released at the height of Britpop when numerous small bands were springing up, usually influenced by what were seen as the two biggest bands in the genre, Oasis and Blur. Supergrass were one of the few bands who went on to have lasting success.

Influences

The influences on Supergrass for this album were extremely diverse, ranging from the very cheerful, fast, keyboard augmented "I'd Like To Know" to the guitar-driven Punk narrative, "Caught By The Fuzz" to the mainly piano based rhythm of the teen anthem "Alright" and finally to the acoustic guitar and country music influenced, "Time to Go." Even in the extremely diverse genre of Britpop, the album was seen as very eclectic; usually as a compliment. Overall, the album could be described only as Britpop, music influenced in equal parts by The Buzzcocks and The Kinks.

MM review

After listening classic punk bands like Buzzcocks,The kinks,New york dolls It's one of the best Choice Supergrass for listening.You feel some kind of strange feelings sitting,wishing and suddenly wanna jump and shout out loud!!!!If you listen this order this wanderfull songs:'Caught by the Fuzz','Strange Ones','She's So Loose','Lose It','Time to Go'.....You'll know that they are really amazing.Like several bands they've a great first album.Lots of band are releasing such commercial albums.We listen them only for one week and that's boring. Supergrass,The Bluetones,Suede,Shed 7....have their own style and tasteful succesfull records.

Elliott Smith - Either / Or (1997)

Either/Or (1997) is the name of the third album recorded by American singer-songwriterElliott Smith.

The album was released on Kill Rock Stars on 25 February 1997 on compact disc and vinyl LP. It was Smith's second full-length release on the influential Seattle record label.

It has been speculated that the title of Either/Or refers to the logical condition of an absurd human life: Either life has a profound meaning or death is the only option. However, the title is actually derived from the Søren Kierkegaard book of the same name, reflecting Smith's interest in philosophy, something he studied (among other subjects) at Hampshire College in Massachusetts. Smith battled with depression throughout his mature life and Either/Or reflects that with such dispiriting song titles as "Ballad of Big Nothing", "Between the Bars", "No Name No. 5", "Cupid's Trick".

Notes

• "Angeles", "Between the Bars", and "Say Yes" were used in the soundtrack for Gus Van Sant's film Good Will Hunting, along with "No Name #3" from Roman Candle and an orchestral version of "Between the Bars."

THE WORKING TITLE

[Modern Music Review]
The working title.A new modern rock band CHARLESTON, SOUTH CAROLINA United States .I don't want to call their genre like alternative rock.All of the bands are named alternative rock by people in these days.They have a different standings with their music.Sometimes their sound can be so pure.And you can think that they are happy but there is some misery and Their lyrics are really pathetic by frontmen Joel Hamilton.This band will evolve.Their works are showing it openly.Their new CD “About-Face” has no set release date yet, but it’s expected sometime in June.

Starting of musics are very impressive but middle of the songs There's a vocal problem about the melody not him voice.So,Songs are playing but you are not listening them.The most impressive song of them is named 'The crash'.Be carefull I didn't say they are bad.Of course they have a good start with their songs and wanderful band.

The Rolling Stones No. 2 is the second UK album by The Rolling Stones released in 19651964's debut The Rolling Stones. Not surprisingly, The Rolling Stones No. 2 followed its predecessor's tendency to largely feature R&B covers, however it does contain three compositions from the still-developing Mick Jagger/Keith Richard songwriting team. following the massive success of

Using the cover shot for 12 X 5, the second US-released album in October 1964, The Rolling Stones No. 2's tracklisting would largely be emulated on the upcoming US release of The Rolling Stones, Now!. While Eric Easton was co-credited as producer alongside Andrew Loog Oldham on The Rolling Stones' debut album, Oldham takes full production duties forThe Rolling Stones No, 2, which was recorded sporadically in the UK and US during 1964.

A huge hit in England upon release, The Rolling Stones No. 2 spent 10 weeks at #1 in early 1965, becoming one of the year's biggest sellers in the United Kingdom.

Due to the preference towards the American albums, ABKCO Records has overlooked both The Rolling Stones and The Rolling Stones No. 2 for CD release in 1986 and during its remastering series in 2002. Consequently, the album has been out of print for many years.

The work of bassist Skuli Sverrisson

Skuli Sverrisson studied acoustic and electric bass in Iceland and attended Berklee College of Music. After graduating in 1991 he cut a series of CDs for Extreme with the group Mo Boma, whosework reflected world music influences while exploring electronic effects and ambient moods.

Skuli toured with guitarist Allan Holdsworth from '91 to '96 and has since been a mainstay of New York's Downtown scene. His upcoming projects include a trio CD with clarinetist Anthony Burr and a duo album with Icelandic guitarist Hilmer Jensson. Sverrisson also continues his longtime collaboration with Reed man Chris Speed, guitarist Brad Shepik, and drummer Jim Black, sharing their enthusiasm for a jazz/west-Asian/ Balkan synthesis while rooting his contribution in the music of Steve Swallow, Charlie Haden, and Jaco. "When you improvise together as long as we have, you create a relationship with more built into it than notes. You develop a language and an aesthetic trust." The team's '97 CD Pachora is available from Knitting Factory; Speed and Sverrisson also backed avant-Celtic singer Susan McKeown on last year's Bushes & Briars [Alula].

The Pachora lineup is Chris Speed on clarinet, Brad Shepik on electric
saz (that's saz, NOT sax) and tambura, Skuli Sverrison on bass, and
Jim Black on drums and percussion. The saz is a Middle Eastern
stringed instrument, and dumbek--played by Jim Black--is one of the
premier percussion instruments from the same region. The flavoring,
then, is heavily Middle Eastern, and Pachora light into their songs
with great intensity and even greater musicianship.

The tunes are almost all original, but based on modes and melodies
from the Middle East. The one exception to this is Pachora's cover of,
believe it or not, David Bowie's The Man Who Sold the World, which
they render with their characteristic stylings, giving it a truly
unique feel.

Collective Soul - Home (2cd) (2006)

Release Notes:
With just about every hard rock band issuing collaborations with symphonies (Metallica, Kiss, The Scorpions, etc.), it was Collective Soul's turn to do the deed in 2006, with the release of the CD Home: A Live Concert Recording with the Atlanta Symphony Youth Orchestra. But unlike some of the other bands that have taken the "symphonic plunge," Collective Soul's sound was always heavily orchestrated most noticeably on their 1995 hit, "The World I Know,"so it's not that big of a stretch for the band as you might assume. And as a result, it all comes off sounding more natural than usual unlike some of the other symphonic rock experiments that sound extremely forced musically.
Recorded in their hometown during April of 2005, many of the songs are actually improved in these orchestrated versions, also something that can't be said about your usual rock/symphony hybrid. Name a Collective Soul favorite and it's here "Listen," "December," the aforementioned "The World I Know," "Gel," and of course, their breakthrough hit "Shine," which serves as a set closer.
Regardless of whether you like Collective Soul or not, after hearing and viewing Home, it should be widely agreed that they're one of the few rock acts that successfully pulled off the symphonic rock experiment.

McKinley Morganfield (Muddy "Mississippi" Waters)
Born April 4,1915 Rolling Fork, Mississippi
Died April 30, 1983. Chicago Illinois

Informations about album:
Warning: "Electric Mud" is a blues album with heavy psychedelic rock influences! If you consider yourself to be a blues purist, then I would encourage you to look elsewhere for something that will be more compatible with your musical tastes.

This is the infamous "somebody-put-something-in-the-Waters" LP from 1968. A relative hit for Chess, it features the exalted bluesman bellowing over psychedelicized arrangements that owe more to Steppenwolf than Willie Dixon. Waters himself complained that the drums were too busy and the lead guitar sounded like a cat's meow.

Following the departure of several key band members, Siouxsie & the Banshees regrouped and redirected their sound for Kaleidoscope, their third album. Veering from a punkish, more guitar-oriented sound, the Banshees (reduced to a trio) began their experimentation with gothic and electronic soundscapes. This album also marks the debut of the Banshees’ new drummer and songwriter Budgie, who would continue to record with the band throughout their remaining history.

SMITHS-BEST OF

Best…I is a compilation album by The Smiths. It was released in August, 1992 by the new owner of their back catalogue, WEA (Sire Records in the United States). Its highest British chart position was #1; it reached #139 on the U.S. charts.
About this album:

WEA (now the Warner Music Group) had acquired the entire Smiths back catalogue in early 1992. Along with the re-release of all original albums and compilations, they immediately set to work compiling a Best Of in two volumes. It was the first time a regular best-of compilation had ever been made of The Smiths material and the album effortlessly reached the top of the British charts. The British press groaned about sell-out and low track selection coherence.

The material is more or less picked and sequenced at random, and consists of both singles and album cuts. It was followed later the same year by its sibling, ...Best II. The first spin-off single, a re-release of "This Charming Man", reached #8 in the singles chart, the highest position a Smiths single had ever reached. A second single promoting Best...I, an edited re-release of "How Soon Is Now?", got to #16 (the uncut version is featured on the compilation).

…Best II is a compilation album by The Smiths. It was released in November, 1992 by the new owner of their back catalogue, WEA (Sire Records in the United States). Its highest British chart position was #29; it did not chart in the U.S.

Tindersticks - Curtains

[Modern Music Recommended]
Tindersticks is the name of a baroque rock band from Nottingham, England. Their sound is characterized by a synthesis of orchestral backing, lounge jazz, and soul; the lush orchestrations of multi-instrumentalist Dickon Hinchliffe and the smoky baritone of lead vocalist Stuart Staples are the band's hallmarks. Tindersticks have employed electric guitars, as most rock bands have done, but augment their instrumentation with a wide array of instruments: Rhodes piano, glockenspiel, vibraphone, violin, trumpet, trombone, clarinet, bassoon, Hammond organ, and many more are prominently utilized in the music of Tindersticks. The band has a fanatical following in the United Kingdom and continental Europe, although the eclectic and unique sound Tindersticks possesses understandably never made significant inroads in the mainstram.

Robyn HITCHCOCK - You & Oblivion (1995)

[Modern Music Recommended]

Robyn Hitchcock (born March 3, 1953) is a rock and roll singer-songwriter and psych folk artist.

Born in London, he began his recording career in 1976 with the Cambridge-based band The Soft Boys. In 1981 the band broke up and Hitchcock embarked upon his distinguished solo career, recording both under his own name and as Robyn Hitchcock & The Egyptians (which includes Andy Metcalfe and Morris Windsor from The Soft Boys).

Hitchcock's musical and lyrical styles have drawn influence from his appreciation of Bob DylanSyd Barrett. His tendency for irreverent-sounding delivery has led to critics misunderstanding him as a purely novelty/comic lyricist. Many of the sentiments within his writing are actually quite serious in themselves, only framed in an unpretentious, whimsical manner. and

A lifelong Dylan fan, Hitchcock's 2002 album Robyn Sings is an album of Bob Dylan song covers including a live recording of his recreation of Dylan's Live at the Royal Albert Hall 1966 concert.

Also in 2002, Hitchcock re-united with Kimberley Rew and Windsor for The Soft Boys release of Nextdoorland.

Hitchcock has collaborated with film director Jonathan Demme on two projects: the live concert film Storefront Hitchcock (1998) and the 2004 remake of The Manchurian Candidate, in which Hitchcock portrayed double-agent Laurent Tokar.

Additionally, Hitchcock has a keen interest in abstract art and literature, writes short stories and draws (often in a whimsical cartoon style).

Interpol - Antics,Turn on the bright lights

Turn on the Bright Lights was New York City rock band Interpol's first full-length album. It was released in 2002 on Matador Records to a great deal of critical acclaim and sold exceptionally well for an indie release. It also ranked highly on the yearly lists of many rock critics'.

Musically, many have pointed out the similarities between Turn on the Bright Lights and the 1970s group Joy Division. Both groups make heavy use of drums, often as the lead instrument in a song, and the lead singer of Interpol, Paul Banks, has a somewhat similar voice in tone to that of Joy Division's Ian Curtis.

----------------------------------O-------------------------------O--------------------------------O-----------------------

Antics is the second album by New York City-based band Interpol, released on September 28, 2004 (see 2004 in music). Although more confident than its predecessor,Turn on the Bright Lights, it largely repeats the same formula of sparse arrangement driven by bass throb and strong drums, with powerful, evocative lyrics sung in a resonant, mordant voice by vocalist Paul Banks and intricate guitar lines.

The album was reissued in August 2005 in the United States with a bonus disc that contained four remixes by the band, a b-side, and the videos for all three singles.

----------------------------------O-------------------------------O--------------------------------O-----------------------

Interpol is a New York City indie rock band formed in 1998. Their debut album Turn on the Bright Lights was critically acclaimed, while the follow-up, Antics, has also been a commercial and critical success. The members of the band are Paul Banks on vocals and guitar, Carlos Dengler on bass and keyboards, Sam Fogarino on drums, and Daniel Kessler on guitar and background vocals.

The band's sound is a dark mix of bass throb and choppy, sparse guitar. Turn on the Bright Lights was spare and tentative, but their second album Antics embraced a fuller, more confident sound. Both Antics and Turn on the Bright Lights were recorded at Tarquin Studios in Bridgeport, Connecticut.

The band formed when Daniel Kessler met drummer Greg Drudy, now a member of screamo band Hot Cross, on the New York University campus. Kessler later added Carlos D., an ex-guitarist, on the bass, after meeting him in a history class. The line-up was complete after Kessler remembered an old friend he met while in Paris. Banks and Kessler ran into each other on the street, after losing touch since Paris, and Banks became lead singer. In 2000, Greg left the band, and Daniel recruited Sam, whom the band knew through his job at a local record store.

The band will take time off after their Antics tour for an unknown amount of time. A new song by the band, 'Direction' was released on the soundtrack to the television program 'Six Feet Under' on June 28, 2005. In addition to this, their music has also been used in a soundtrack to popular teen drama 'The OC.'

A Lot Like Love - Soundtrack

[Modern Music Soundtrack]

The film centres on the relationship between Oliver (played by Kutcher) and Emily (played by Peet), who first met on a flight from Los Angeles to New York seven years ago, only to decide that they were poorly suited together.

Over the next seven years they keep meeting each other, becoming acquaintances and then close friends; going through different partners and careers at the same time.

With each of them suffering through one failed relationship after another, they finally figure out after seven years that they might be right for each other after all.

Formation (1980-1982)

R.E.M. formed at the University of Georgia in Athens, Georgia, in January 1980. Discovering they had similar tastes, vocalist Michael Stipe (born January 4, 1960 in Decatur, Georgia) and guitarist Peter Buck (born December 6, 1956 in Berkeley, California) began working together, eventually meeting bassist Mike Mills (born December 17, 1958 in Orange County, California) and drummer Bill Berry (born July 31, 1958 in Duluth, Minnesota). In April 1980, the band formed under the name Twisted Kites to play a birthday party for their friend Kathleen O'Brien, rehearsing a number of garage, psychedelic bubblegum, and punk covers in a converted Episcopalian church. By the summer, the band had settled on the name R.E.M. after flipping randomly through the dictionary. Around the same time, the band met Jefferson Holt, who became their manager after witnessing the group's first out-of-state concert in North Carolina. Eventually, the band members dropped out of school to concentrate on their musical career.

Over the next year and a half, R.E.M. toured throughout the South, playing a variety of garage rock covers and folk-rock originals. At the time, the band was still learning how to play, as Buck began to develop his distinctive, arpeggiated jangle and Stipe ironed out his cryptic lyrics. During the summer of 1981, R.E.M. recorded their first single, "Radio Free Europe", at Mitch Easter's Drive-In Studios. Released on the local indie label Hib-Tone, "Radio Free Europe" was pressed in a run of only 1,000 copies. The single became a hit on college radio and topped the Village Voice's year-end poll of Best Independent Singles. Their country/folk sound was contradicted by a driving bassline and an urgency that suggested The Who in their early mod phase. Paired with the distinctive voice of Stipe and his inaudible and indecipherable lyrics, R.E.M.'s sound was unique in the post-punk era of the early 1980s.
