  • Taylor Swift @ Wembley

    24 Nov 2009, 22:41 by davidn87

    Taylor Swift at Wembley Arena, November 23rd 2009

    First thoughts on the Taylor concert as I arrive back at the hotel :

    FANTASTIC. Her Entertainer & Female Vocalist awards at the CMAs were VERY well deserved. You may well say her CMA performances were not her greatest but tonight she knocked it out of the ballpark. She hit the high notes flawlessly and gave a generally excellent vocal performance. At one point she disappeared from the stage and reappeared at the back of the arena in the middle of the audience to sing Fifteen and Tim McGraw, before walking back through the middle of the crowd to the stage. The audience was on its feet all night long, singing along to every single song. Most folk were standing up on their seats, screaming, clapping & basically going wild for Taylor. The place was packed and probably sold out - I think Taylor said that it was indeed sold out somewhere near the start.

    The show opened with a video featuring Taylor, Miley Cyrus, Faith Hill, Garth Brooks, Taylor Lautner and others. Love And Theft and Tim McGraw (who made a hilarious comment about her song bringing him out of obscurity) were also in another video later on, about the people Taylor has written about called Crimes Of Passion. Tyler Hilton was in that one as well.

    Managed to get a few good videos, including a circle-round view of the audience when they were at their absolute maddest height cheering for her for over 5 minutes!

    Songs that I remember -

    Tim McGraw (in the audience)
    Fifteen (in the audience)
    Our Song
    Teardrops On My Guitar
    Fearless
    Love Story
    Hey Stephen (in the audience)
    White Horse
    You Belong With Me
    Tell Me Why
    You're Not Sorry
    The Way I Loved You
    Forever And Always
    Picture To Burn
    Encore was Should've Said No (complete with the rain pouring down on her with the words on it, like at the CMAs)

    I did wait in the crowd afterwards outside for her to come out but one of the security people said she'd be 2 hours, so sadly had to leave :-( Maybe next time!

    Justin Bieber the opening act was pretty good, certainly better than I expected him to be. Think he's aimed more at young girls though.

  • Keep Walkin.....

    26 Nov 2009, 16:24 by sonnycheeebah

    Another song that has been covered quite a number of times would be PlayWalk On By, a Burt Bacharach/Hal David composition which was first recorded in 1964 by Dionne Warwick

    Here are some of the more outstanding interpretations of that song:


    The Jackson 5 included Walk On By (2:30) in a medley which also included some of their hit singles (at that time) for the Diana! TV special OST - sick break!!!

    [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sl7RvV7fYJs&feature=related[/youtube]
    ...and a live performance!!! Sickness refined!!! See li'l Michael do the robot!!!


    Isaac Hayes' rendition is transformed on record into a twelve-minute funkfest made all the more memorable by being sampled by the likes of Wu-Tang Clan, Ludacris and even Hooverphonic


    The Undisputed Truth's version of this track was also sampled heavily by the likes of J Dilla

    [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4mzHbY_ikoE&feature=related[/youtube]
    UK rock band The Stranglers maintain the soulfulness of the original while putting a rockier edge which doesn't come out off-putting though. Love the organ solo on this one...possibly the best one I've heard since Ray Manzarek's work on The Doors' Light My Fire


    Cyndi Lauper channels Laura Nyro in her live rendition...


    ...and Ms. Nyro's version. Listen close....

    [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lUdux2eQ6Kw&feature=fvw[/youtube]
    Meanwhile, as Dionne's version was blowing up big time back then, Aretha Franklin came out with a version that solidifies her reputation even during that time as the Queen of Soul (btw, Dionne's own sister Dee Dee sang back-up on Her Highness' version)

    [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VEA5cbh-brc&feature=related[/youtube]
    UK soul singer Gabrielle captures the retro goodness of the Dionne Warwick original while incorporating a good deal of Aretha's soulful take on that one.

    This song has also been covered by the likes of The Beach Boys, Helen Shapiro, Michael McDonald and Seal

  • The Adventures Of Wireman

    26 Nov 2009, 06:27 by FOWLmusic



    Wireman moves on wire brush feet. Sometimes he skips, sometimes he shuffles down the street. Sometimes he even jumps up and swishes the splashy street signs, but often he just drags his feet. With his lanky wire body he makes spastic movements in random directions. While this does mean fun tangents in freak flavoured directions, it also leads to snapped strings in abundance. Along his way one day Friar goat nudges him forward horn wise towards a placement agency for to toil. As Friar head butts the door closed wire man's left hand of thick sturdy bass strings gets caught and warped out of shape. Trying to fill out the second grade math test proves near impossible as his left arm is no longer stable enough to hold the sheet down. One of the other worker drones offers the advice that when he gets a new bass guitar, it's always good to get your hydraulic suspension pumping enough to really get some good lift on your vehicular, then bounce it over onto the strings a couple times. It melts 'em and wears 'em down a little, gets it warmed up to a real nice tone. "That's what you need son, a real good tone." The kind slave trader secretary then sling shots the Wireman by his lean spastic right arm. He lands rolling down-hill tumbling towards his yellowarm loved one. There she winds new wire around his frame, and patches him up for to re-enter the new world. Whilst mending his weary wires during the burning bright of mid-afternoon with audacious audacity assinine assailant posing as furnace inspector wearing a suspicious black "Energy" cap worms his way past security and down in the depths of his bass meant for glory maliciously cracks a patch cord in half and snaps lady's high E string. At which point lady whirls around with hockey stick in hand and swirl flips the cap off, exposing a flurry of stolen heating bills to the floor. Wireman awakens and stumbles downstairs. Wherein he slips and falls, head landing on the gorgeous pillow of stolen bills, sliding instantly into a deep dream ridden sleep. Getting tired eventually of the sloppy rodeo he has entered into in his subconscious, he awakens, and realizing the deep debt incurred by his very real and disturbing pillow, vowing to retain his null credit rating from here to eternity, Determines to delete his downtime and venture back into the real world. As he steps outside for the first time since the cold last snapped a string, he chooses to speak for the first time, informing the hammers beating inside of his wire framed skull just what he thinks of their games.

  • Hipster metal

    26 Nov 2009, 02:50 by Conservationist

    So the AV Club decided to get all wise on us about metal:




    If there’s one thing in the world more head-slammingly dull than reading a bunch of online Realness Police argue about what constitutes real hip-hop, it’s reading similar web manifestos by metal’s “trü-kvlt” militia. Did they happen to spot a Mastodon album at Best Buy? Must be “hipster metal.” Did they read an interview with Boris in which Wata expressed enthusiasm for pop music? Must be “hipster metal.” Did they spot a guy enjoying The Sword who had an ironic T-shirt or thick-framed cheaters? Must be “hipster metal.”

    ...

    In fact, that’s one of the hallmarks of the “hipster metal” complaint: It’s never about the music.

    The irritating myth of "hipster metal," by Leonard Pierce


    And then Examiner's Brett Stevens fires back a salvo in the opposite direction:


    But the truth is that being a hipster isn't how you dress, where you live, or even what brand of beer you drink. It's how you approach the music. It's how you approach life. It's an attitude and philosophy.

    These people called metalheads were ostracized, called geeks, belittled and spat upon for insisting metal is important. And what is that idea? Metal is the idea of worshipping power and intensity, not the "safe" and twee personalized Jesus that rock music is.

    ...

    Because the people behind them are not thinking of the music as in metal as a genre, but of how they can be ironic and twee and unique, metalheads tend to write them off as "hipster metal."

    Hipster Metal: no myth, but not as exciting as it sounds either, by Brett Stevens


    It's about the music: metal is not compatible with twee indie rock pretending to be metal. We're not saying not to listen to it, or to ban it or burn it, just that it's not real metal in the same way Christians or Nazis pretending to be metal so they can preach at us aren't real metal.

    Are we all clear on that?
