W♥M115: God Help the Girl

vusleeper August 19, 2011

I thought I'd drop this off: I've previously heard the single "Come Monday Night" by God Help the Girl, but never really got around to picking up the actual album - that is until a few months ago - when I was in Canada. I saw they were selling the album for $1.99. No sale, no clearance, that was the regular price. I couldn't believe it, I picked up all the copies they had in the store.

W♥M111: NXNE

vusleeper June 2, 2011

NXNE is coming, June 13-19, 2011, in Toronto, Canada. I am flying in on the 12th, and I guess will be doing touristy things in the city. If you want to hang out, send me a note. The music portion, as far as looking at the schedule, doesn't actually start until Wednesday, the 15th. Which means, I have a lot of time to kill, perhaps I'll attend some of the movies that NXNE has to offer (I am probably going to try and make it to "Upside Down – The Creation Records Story", a documentary about Creation Records). I have gone on record and stated that I think Alan McGee is a genius.

Jazz Note #11 – Find a Groove

dave@weheartmusic.com February 26, 2011

“If you make a mistake, don’t stop.  Make it part of what you are playing.” I think of this quote by Oscar Peterson every time I hear one of his songs.  He doesn’t so much play the piano as propel it.  In the middle of a solo, every key is under his domain as he deftly dashes the ebony and ivory with contradictory urgency and ease.  Even if Peterson made a mistake, you may never hear it.
