A shadowy duo indeed...Secret Music One of the perks of being Bob Duvet your "music valet" is access my Duvetians. With so much music being run up the flag pole, sometimes you need a middleman to do the saluting. Hence, the need for this blog and others like it.

Carter Tanton alone in his room with a magnificent view... From the opening strains of "Murderous Joy", the leadoff track from Carter Tanton's new release Freeclouds, I instantly remembered what it was that I loved so much about the singer/songwriter's previous incarnation Tulsa. Tulsa was one of those bands that I was infatuated with and was lucky enough to see at 2008's

Ever find yourself questioning the creativity of a previous generation? Well, there is something to be said for being able to remember a time before the internet and then using that experience to inject new technology with old aesthetics. Music legend Tom Waits puts the private back in "private listening party" in advance of his newest release "Bad As Me" - due to drop October 24th in the US.

With a smile like that, he definitely knows something... Occasionally as a music writer you need something to snap you out of the malaise of all the "samey" sounding recordings that come across your desk. A tendency to become blase, with the mere name of a band inspiring a mountain of irk inside you, takes over. You wonder if all those bands and artists you were so hot for a few months back

Duvet's Eye Candy: Girls, Cars, & "Vomit"

The best things about San Francisco's Girls are all here in this video for the song "Vomit" off there September 13th release of their third album "Father, Son, Holy Ghost". We have an EPIC tune, featuring torrents of guitar swirl, a sexy, red, classic Mustang, and the streets of San Francisco captured in all their mysterious glory. If this song is any indication, the band is hitting its stride

The ubiquity of the music festival seems to be here to stay and San Francisco certainly has been one of its early pioneer cities, dating back to the late 60's panhandle days. O'Reilly Productions team with local classic rock radio mainstay The Bone to bring Stone Temple Pilots, Cheap Trick, Fuel, and The Hooks to picturesque Fort Mason for an all day RAWK blowout on Saturday, August 20th.

I Like Muscular Writing...

whatduvetsaid@gmail.com (Robert Celli) — Tue, 28 Jun 2011 17:10:00 -0400

I like muscular writing. I’m sick of odes and bullshit covered in convention, words used for their sound and not their meaning. We swim in bullshit everyday, so why the fuck would you want to commit more of it to a page. Why not ape Bukowski instead of Thoreau? One feels real, while the other, it masks reality and puts it out in the countryside to die

Bob Duvet Investigates What Inspires A Man? Or, Music Is In The Ear Of The Beholder.

whatduvetsaid@gmail.com (Robert Celli) — Thu, 2 Jun 2011 18:04:00 -0400

“What inspires a man?” Bob wondered, as he drove the nail through the plywood he had placed horizontally across his front door. “There, that oughta do it.” He thought, pleased with himself. Inspiration should always begin with, “keeping the wolves at bay” and he had done a piss poor job of that lately. Worse still the wolves he heard howling at his door were more like

We here at "What Duvet Said..." applaud Tamaryn for the "get" and wish she was cast instead of Lohan. It would have made for a much more compelling film, instead, we have been reading the scores of bloggers reading too much into Lohan's

OH OH! You're halfway there... “Hey man!” a voice greeted Bob just as he was crowning the threshold of the door; born into the bar he braced himself for another meaningless conversation. The environs were indistinguishable from the thousands of other “Irish” bars that litter American cities. Places that seem premade and ready to ship once a liquor license is obtained and drunks have been

whatduvetsaid@gmail.com (Robert Celli) — Wed, 18 May 2011 14:40:00 -0400

Another sunny, silent day... “I’m really swimming in it now…” Bob thought for a moment as his right hand guided the white mouse across its grey, rubber landscape. He noticed his reflection distorted and misshapen on the glossy surface beneath his fingertips, like he had entered a house of mirrors at some county fair. It is in these moments we catch glimpses of our true
