"remix jam session mixtape" - yeah, I'm sure

You like good music? I like good music some. So does Melanie Fiona, apparently. And....Indians? You like Indians, Fiona? Shoot your costume director. But one thing they can't take from you, is that you can sing. For sure. If people from Philly think so, then there's not much reason to dispute it.

So you got ?uestlove to do a "remix jam session mixtape" of your album, The Bridge? That's pretty awesome too. Apparently he can play the drums and it sounds like a drum machine. In fact, he took a picture over my shoulder once, and let me tell you, I almost melted. But back to the point. Music. For those of you who are into soul, download the "remix jam session mixtape":

Cus it's FREE! And I don't mind free.

Props to ?uestlove for putting out free music, OKAY PLAYER! You're cool. And as a taste maker, well, he's (mostly) on the money. But Fiona, as a soul connoisseur it is absolutely imperative that you have a record player. Srsly! Ladies and Gentlemen, if you don't believe me, look for yourself. It's a video. You're cute, Melanie. Tata!

Stevie Ray Vaughn's Band? Hell Yes

Now - the weirdest thing just happened. I like the blues, and occasionally, I listen the Blues. And right now, while I was listening to the BLUES (SRV, in fact) I get an email about the Arc Angels. The reason I am making such a stink about this is because these guys used to play with SRV!!! I'm superficial I know, but HOT DAYUMN this is bound to be good. My brain cells just left for the day so I leave to my drooooool....

From the press release:
After much speculation in the fan and music communities, the Arc Angels have announced today an official reunion that will include new music and new touring ventures, along with their first major concert as part of Austin’s South By Southwest Festival on Friday, March 20^th at 8pm at Auditorium Shores. The eagerly anticipated reunion features original band members Charlie Sexton, Doyle Bramhall II and Chris Layton performing together again. After more than a decade apart, the band has entered the studio to record new music, is slated to open for Eric Clapton on his Spring UK tour, and will release a Live CD/DVD with a U.S. summer tour to follow. Further album and DVD details will be announced shortly.

I'm going to the show and YOU CAN TOOO!!

Nowhere To Run, Slow Burn Is Coming To Town

Slow Burn, a brand new super group conjured from the ashes of of philly favorites Camel Toe Riders and Virgina Death Metal troupe Darkhorse will play their premier gig at the famed Troc on Friday March 27. So much for epic first sentences. Rocker Dave and cohort Drew have been tooling the scene for a bassist than can match their fury on stage and have found the perfect fit in one who simply refers to himself as Duane. Triple D Assault! Togehter, the trio grinds the axes and burns all bridges, musical and otherwise - get ready to be blown away. They are so underground, I was hard pressed to come by some images, but what else does one need than the aural assault delivered via MySpace.
