Laura Marling vodcasts
by Laura Marling’s recently released album, I Speak Because I Can, is reminiscent in parts of the subtle instrumentation and melodic integrity of classic cuts by Crosby Stills and Nash, Joni Mitchell, and Neil Young, but it comes tightly packed with an earthy pop-iness that leaves musical earworms dancing for hours after each listen. These Vodcasts of Marling and her friends touring and performing give a nice window into her colourful world.

Vibrant, colourful photos of New York in 1971
We love the voyeuristic thrill of these photos by Gentle Giant that ran on the Retronaut website and reveal a vibrant, thriving, bustling New York in 1971 that looks vaguely similar to the New York that I experienced between 2006 and 2011. Minus the beehive hairdoes, flares, and the big red phone booths, of course. Read more

Already six years old, this book is a must for any Beatles addict or music sound maker. Geoff Emerick opens the door onto the Beatles world through the most interesting angle possible: as an insider. He was responsible for the sound recording for several Beatles albums, including the Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band, definitely my favourite.

Last weekend I went to the Golden West in Baltimore to check out the What Cheer? Brigade, a marching band from Providence. I wasn’t expecting much, but when they opened with a cover of Slayer’s Raining Blood, my knees buckled. I think I could hear a musak version of that riff, and I’d still bang my head. The rest of the band’s set was just as riotous, with people dancing so hard, you’d think we were at Mardi Gras. I haven’t had that much fun at a show in ages.
