Wed, 18 Aug 2010 00:41:53 -0700 Ben Folds and Nick Hornby... 'nuff said http://lovehatetunes.com/ben-folds-and-nick-hornby-nuff-said http://lovehatetunes.com/ben-folds-and-nick-hornby-nuff-said

Nick Hornby's words and Ben Folds' music and performance... wow!

I've seen Ben Folds live about 8 times and play a bunch of his tunes whenever I get around to gigging. While I would be more than happy with Ben writing his own lyrics for this, how can you knock the pairing. Haven't been this excited about a CD in a while.

I can't wait until this drops in September.

Okay, while I'm not enamoured with the song, it's amazing how one change can turn what would be a mundane concept into something surreal and interesting.

Tue, 10 Aug 2010 23:04:00 -0700 7/2/10 "You Enjoy Myself" - Phish http://lovehatetunes.com/7210-you-enjoy-myself-phish http://lovehatetunes.com/7210-you-enjoy-myself-phish

Just because I love Phish and fans are posting some great video from the night before, here's one of their earliest classics in its entirety: You Enjoy Myself from their date in Charlotte a couple of weeks ago.

I know it's an acquired taste, but for all of those who like an element of prog rock mixed with a bit of jazz and a bit of funky groove capped off by an a capella jam, enjoy a piece of live magic.

While I'm no aficionado of DJ culture, what I do know and listen to begins and ends with Girl Talk. It's great to find a longer live clip of an artist at work.

If you've got earphones at work, put them in and listen to Parts One and Two of the incredibly groovy jam. I challenge you not be grooving in your seat by two minutes in. Some awesome soloing and a great vibe to ride along. Dig it!

Tue, 27 Jul 2010 01:24:00 -0700 What Happens When You Leave Cream Sitting Out for 37 Years http://lovehatetunes.com/what-happens-when-you-leave-cream-sitting-out http://lovehatetunes.com/what-happens-when-you-leave-cream-sitting-out

Cream was the ultimate British Blues experience. The talent in these three on stage more than 35 years after their original farewell concert still remains staggering. Here's an audience shot clip from the 2005 Reunion series at Madison Square Garden. A little Tales of Brave Ulysses. Just a quick note: Ginger Baker was 66 for this tour... no back up musicians, no singers, no horn section, no help, just Cream.

And as a comparator, here's some vintage footage of how three guys can jam the shit out of tune. If you've only ever been an Eric Clapton fan, you need to get into the Jack Bruce and Ginger Baker rhythm section to really dig the vibe.

Donny Hathaway had so much soul it was scary. The way he can groove out a song which essentially amounts to a hymn showed his incredible talent and diversity. Watch, listen, and smile.

Not the greatest video quality, but a great song. I would encourage all fans of alternative and eclectic music to dig back into this great Canadian band's discography.

Quirky. Brilliant. Intrinsically Canadian.

Have loved King Crimson for years and used to have a video tape copy of this show somewhere. Seeing and hearing it resurface is one reason I love the web. Some great musicianship with a killer groove all from 1973. Robert Fripp on gtr, John Wetton on bass/vox, Bill Bruford on dr, and David Cross going all mellotron.

Burn your Lady Gaga craptacular CDs and start listening to St. Vincent. Check out the song "Marrow" and others. Here is an artist that kicks ass. I just hope that by leading you in with a familiar Beatles' track, you may check out other stuff.

Great Lake Swimmers are a very cool Canadian band and this video is as unique as their sound. Mellow out for a few minutes and dig it.

Bela Fleck and the FleckTones - that's how. Bela Fleck is beyond amazing on banjo. Victor Wooten is the Face of Bass. I especially love later incarnations of the band where Jeff Coffin joins them on sax.

A kickass band from the Left Coast who we've featured twice on the DyscultureD podcast, this video is over a year old now, but the song is soooo cool!

So I love the music of Ben Folds. I especially love the song Zak and Sara. And I suspect that anyone who put as much time into this video as they did must love the song too.

"Sarah spelled without an H was getting bored on a Peavey Amp in 1984."

Just because this is one of the greatest songs of the 1980s and because I get to see the band in my hometown this summer.

I have always thought in the back of my mind, "Cheese and Onions".

I have always thought that the world was unkind, "Cheese and Onions".

Do I have to spell it out ? "C-H-E-E-S-E A-N-D O-N-I-O-N-S", oh no.

 

Man or machine, keep yourself clean

Or be a has-been like Dinosaur, oh oh-oh.

Man of advice for ev'rything nice

You'd better think twice at least once more, oh oh.

Mon, 26 Apr 2010 20:21:00 -0700 Richie Havens Honors Sweetwater With Freedom http://lovehatetunes.com/richie-havens-honors-sweetwater-with-freedom http://lovehatetunes.com/richie-havens-honors-sweetwater-with-freedom

At Woodstock, Sweetwater was scheduled to open the festival, but due to band personnel issues, they actually came on second. As a tribute to band that was going to have the historical notoriety of that slot, Richie Havens incorporated an improv of their song "Motherless Child" into his legendary "Freedom" jam. I have never been able to listen to the Sweetwater version with anything other than a passing interest since hearing Havens' passion.

This clip may be a bit long, but it's worth it.
