C&L's Late Night Music Club With Devo

Logan Murphy — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 04:00:34 +0000

This Devo two-fer from 1980 is a hoot! Girl U Want is by far the strongest of the two songs, Devo at their best. Please forgive the video quality and the occasional audio glitch.

I always felt that Devo was more influential than they really got credit for. They have been honored by plenty of bands -- Nirvana, Soundgarden, Sepultura and Pearl Jam, just to name a few.

Late Night Music Club with Phineas and the Ferbtones, featuring the Ferbettes

Title: Gitchy Gitchy Goo (extended version)

Artist: Phineas and the Ferbtones

No, this is not an early April Fool's joke. Nicole Belle and I have chatted before about how Phineas and Ferb is one of the funniest shows on tee vee, and this is the number one most requested song from the show in a recent online poll. (I would have chosen Destroyed Dreams for its amazing Bollywood parody but that's me.) It's impressive that a half-hour kid's cartoon has a full-length song incorporated into the plot of every episode. And there's a reason this show re-airs at 9:30 at night...for the grownups, dude.

Usually I try to find reasonably off-the-beaten track videos for LNMC -- and I usually prefer live stuff -- but every now and then it's fun to dust off the ol' faves.

At one time this video was considered the best studio vid ever made. I expect that's no longer true, but I'd like to know what you all think would be the videos that surpass it. Post some nominees in the comments, I'll sift through them, and run some of the better ones. Obvious and well-known ones like this are welcome too.

C&L's Late Nite Music Club with The Swell Season

Nicole Belle — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 04:00:28 +0000

Title: Feeling the Pull/Low Rising

Artist: The Swell Season

I did an LNMC last year featuring Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova and their Academy Award-winning song from the movie, Once.

Hansard (late of The Frames) and Irglova have formed a new band, The Swell Season, and their album, Strict Joy, was released in October of this year.

Here they are singing an acoustic version of Feeling the Pull and a studio version of Low Rising, both from Strict Joy.

C&L's Late Nite Music Club with Sondre Lerche and Regina Spektor

Title: Hell No

Artist: Sondre Lerche and Regina Spektor

Ever watch a movie and go "Meh" but absolutely fell in love with the soundtrack?

I happened to catch the Steve Carell vehicle "Dan in Real Life" last week on cable. When I'm working, I tend to keep the TV on as background noise (occupational hazard of being from a big family and having kids--silence is distracting). Normally, I tune it out, but I found myself completely entranced by Sondre Lerche's music. It was quirky, charming and really deserved a much better movie than the one in which it was featured.

Wish I could recommend the movie, but I do strongly recommend the soundtrack.

Any other movie soundtrack knock you out?

Late Night Music Club with Eddie Harris

Stella Barkwell — Sun, 15 Nov 2009 04:00:50 +0000

Title: Listen Here (Live Montreux)

Artist: Eddie Harris (tenor sax), Jodie Christian (piano), Melvin Jackson (bass) and Billy Hart (drums)

Two major distinguishing factors that make Eddie Harris an innovator had to do with his teacher at DuSable High School in Chicago, and his use of the Varitone Saxophone. It’s a pickup for saxophone. If you look closely at the video, you’ll see he’s got a line going from his instrument to a black box, and that he fiddles with it from time to time. This was a now defunct piece of technology invented by H & A Selmer, Inc., in an attempt to give the saxophone the same versatility as other electrified instruments.

His teacher was Walter Dyett was the kind of music teacher many serious musicians would love to have. Many of his students were successful professional musicians: Gene Ammons, Nat "King" Cole, Bo Diddley, Dorothy Donegan (and Dorothy Donegan again), Julian Priester.

Which old standards (players or pieces) have your ear?

Late Night Music Club with Macy Gray

Title: I Try

Artist: Macy Gray

"I Try." Such a terrific song.

Whatcha listening to this weekend?

C&L's Late Night Music Club With The Raconteurs

Logan Murphy — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 04:00:13 +0000

Jack White has always done his own thing, finding new ways to create funky, unique guitar tones. I went through a White Stripes phase, but that project didn't move me as much as his work with The Raconteurs. This live version of Consoler Of The Lonely from 2008 is loose and angry -- White's stock in trade.

If you didn't catch it, Jack was featured along with The Edge and Jimmy Page in a documentary about the history of the electric guitar, called It Might Get Loud. It's definitely worth checking out.

Late Night Music Club: 'Beat It,' by Pomplamoose

Susie Madrak — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 04:00:02 +0000

Pomplamoose (it means "grapefruit" in French) is a Bay Area indie jazz-pop band and is ~~compromised~~ made up of Jack Conte and Nataly Dawn, who do what they call VideoSongs.

For those who don't know, a VideoSong is a new medium with (as Jack puts it) two rules:

1. What you see is what you hear (no lip-syncing for instruments or voice).

2. If you hear it, at some point you see it (no hidden sounds).

The unsigned band is fast picking up steam through social media. This is only one of their many interesting covers, but they have lots of cool, original music, too. (Oh, and they do a cover of a Gordon's Jewelers ad, which is amazing because in so many ways, they remind me of the late, lamented Huffamoose - whose name also ends in "moose" and had their song "I Want To Buy You A Ring" used in a jewelry commercial!) Like, synchronicity, man.
