Broadcast :: Sixty Forty (Nico cover)

Broadcast NicoPosted on

Broadcast’s cover of Nico's “Sixty Forty,” taken from their final Peel Session recorded in July 2003, finds the group exploring the perfect middle ground between the (then about to be released) cracked pagan kaleidoscope of Haha Sound and their next move, the searing minimalist cut-up Tender Buttons . . .

Hoping For A Replacement :: After The Gold Rush Re-Imagined

Neil YoungPosted on

After The Gold Rush’s downbeat-but-irrepressibly melodic songs would also find their way into the repertoire of many other artists. Hoping For A Replacement re-creates the album using a selection of these covers. There are future superstars, like Bette Midler and Linda Ronstadt. And then there are more obscure names, like Hookfoot, Julie Mairs and the Dutch band Teenmakers, whose “Southern Man” you have to hear to believe . . .

Jesse Jarnow Podcast Sidecar (Transmissions)Posted on

For this episode of Transmissions, we're joined by author, WFMU DJ, and historian of all things "heady," Jesse Jarnow.

James Booker :: Montreux Jazz Festival, July 1978

James Booker Live Upload SeriesPosted on

Ancient AD. We originally featured the following 1978 live recording (captured at the Montreux Jazz Festival) back in October of 2005. We’ve collected a number of live documents from this New Orleans piano master -- Live at Montreux is by far the most spirited. Pearls on black velvet, the set is essential listening for Booker acolytes and New Orleans piano disciples alike. Ten tracks, all very raw arrangements with Booker backed by a loose, electric pick-up band that full-on swings . . .

John Prine :: Sessions At West 54th

John PrinePosted on

My first real exposure to John Prine was random and chance, one of those moments that floats into the periphery and either you see it or you don't. It was also lacking in the context that would make me appreciate it all the more later on.I was home from college my freshman year and was up late as usual, alone in a quiet house watching random things on television. I was partial to the music shows on PBS, especially Sessions at West 54th, a show I'd caught a few times before. It was on . . .

Swamp Dogg ft. John Prine :: Please Let Me Go Round Again

John Prine Swamp DogPosted on

The whole record documents Swamp Dogg’s life over the years, using songs he penned some 30 plus years ago. Bon Iver and Sam Amidon contributed their instrumental prowess as well, but it’s the last track with John Prine that brings the magic. You’re witnessing a true southern porch hang . . .

WHEN A DRUMMER FALLS DURING A PANDEMIC, DOES HE MAKE A NOISE? TRAVIS NELSEN DOES.

Okkervil River Travis NelsenPosted on

... when a musician dies there’s a tendency to separate who they were in the spotlight with who they were off stage, but Travis would wear the same monkey costume behind his drumset or when he grilled a rare steak in his kitchen for his beloved mom, all with gusto and an electric smile, straight from his gilded, white-hot heart . . .

Mute Duo :: Lapse In Passage

Mute DuoPosted on

As Mute Duo, pedal steel guitarist Sam Wagster and percussionist Skyler Rowe drift and rage with unusual grace. Best known for collaborations with Ryley Walker, Bill MacKay, Ben Lamar Gay, and Tim Kinsella, the two players stretch out gloriously on their latest, Lapse in Passage, which twists and churns within the heady post-everything frame work that has flourished in their hometown of Chicago, evoking loose-limbed spiritual jazz, inverted exotica, and ragged improv . . .

Caleb Landry Jones :: The Aquarium Drunkard Interview

Caleb Landry Jones The AD InterviewPosted on

The Mother Stone is a collection of fifteen tracks entirely out of step with whatever modern trends are currently gripping independent music. It feels peerless, out of time, from a different dimension. It isn't a record you can play quietly in the background as you respond to emails. It requires headphones. Focus. Attention. Which isn't to say it isn't any fun. Because it is . . .

Transmissions :: A Conversation With Mary Lattimore

Mary Lattimore PodcastPosted on

The music of Mary Lattimore is at once intimate and cosmic—her unfolding and widening harp epics connect outer expanses to inner realms. No matter the context, Lattimore's musical voice resounds as a calming and clear one. Which is why, as the pandemic blues really kick in, Transmissions hosts Justin Gage and Jason P. Woodbury rang her up to discuss adjusting creative practices, dealing with daily anxieties, and narrow down which Succession character is least despicable . . .
