Words about music (51): Eric Clapton

(...) Pink Floyd, reunited with founder member Roger Waters for the first time in more than 20 years, will play three songs: Breathe, Comfortably Numb and Wish You Were Here.

CBGB’s book

A great club deserves a good book. And Shane Handler wrote it.

It can be argued that CBGB's is the most important club in rock ‘n’ roll history. As one of the last places in Manhattan in the mid 1970s that allowed you to play original rock, owner Hilly Kristal encouraged spontaneity and creativity in his club that stood for country, bluegrass and blues. CBGB's gave bands like Television, Dead Boys, Ramones, Talking Heads, Patti Smith and Blondie a place to hang out, rehearse and form a musical identity, which in turn was a launching pad for a new era of music – punk rock and new-wave. Standing dank, dark and dirty as the polar opposite to the swank Studio 54 in the late 70’s NYC, CBGB’s came alive when the lights went down.

Zappa zealots forum

Frank Zappa lovers can share their thoughts (and rare live recordings) over at the Zappateers.com forum.

The Zappateers are dedicated collectors of Zappa live shows. An enormously large number of FZ shows were recorded legitimately by Zappa himself, and are stored in the vault at the family home. Over the years some of these tapes have 'leaked' into the hands of collectors.

Bo Diddley speaks up

Performing since 1955 and Bo Diddley is still going strong, he tells the interviewer from Uncut:

Well, a lot of it is the way that I care for myself, and my interests in talkin' to kids about stayin’ away from drugs, that they should obey their parents, do the right thing, be constructive and not destructive. All these things I was taught as a kid, so I’m tryin'’ to pass it on to the youngsters 'cos it works. It definitely works, I'm livin’ proof that it works. And it don’t matter what colour you is, 'cos when I go on stage I don't see colours, I see people. That’s the way I’ve always been, and I’ll be that way until there’s no more Diddley…

Jazz Mandolin Project: The Deep Forbidden Lake

A new album by The Jazz Mandolin Project: The Deep Forbidden Lake.

The album's namesake number, along with "Winterlong," are two of the featured Neil Young compositions that provide the album it's "outdoorsy" feel, reinvented in ways far from familiar on Young's Decade compilation. But the album's highlight is a stirring rendition of Tom Waits' "Ol' 55" where Masefield's picking provides as much tenderness as any of his own compositions. Thankfully, the improvisation plays second fiddle to the melodies and arrangements on Deep Forbidden Lake, which allows this incarnation of the Jazz Mandolin to shine in a new, yet familiar setting.

  • Absinthe
    A British 3-piece based in Amsterdam but intent on world domination. The thing with a three piece band is that all three elements must combine to create one voice - there's no room for half measures. The live shows are legendary - full on from beginning to end they'll have you walking away at the end of the night needing more. Absinthe - lose yourself, abuse yourself.

The main goal is to play a lot of shows because they LOVE to play live. The song 'she’s good at sums' got airplay at KINKFM.

Jam in the Dam 2006: singlennight toickerts for Europeans only

Two weekends in march 2006 at De Melkweg in Amsterdam with a line-up of great jam bands ... You have to buy an really expensive ticket ($169.00 pre-sale, $199.00) for each weekend. You are out of luck if want to buy a ticket for just one night. Damn Yankees!

Update (06/08/2005):
I wrote an angry e-mail to the responsible dudes and there is a bit of good news for Europeans:

There's no need to be nasty. We sold alot of one night tickets last year. Unfortunately, this is a very expensive show to produce, and we have to sell all the three night tickets we can. That's reality. That being said, we will have one night tickets available at the door, but only for Europeans with ID. I wish there were about 1000 of you there. There aren't. See you in March.

Peter Hook about his bass playing

Peter Hook talks about finding his signature bass sound.

It’s melodic lead bass, I suppose. It was Ian who spotted that the relationship between high bass and low, chunky guitar was really interesting and unusual. My style of writing and playing came from that. Also, when I started playing bass I had an old Sunn bass cab with an 18" speaker. It was just dreadful—you couldn’t hear a bleedin’ thing. That was another reason I started playing so high, because the bottom end was just awful.
