What a year 2014 was! That's what motivated me to start this diary, which is now going on year 10. It was such a hairy time, in fact, that as a way to process it all, I hit upon the idea of creating a musical diary, using the I Ching - (something I'd been obsessing about) - as my guiding structure. My sister-in-law, Lea died suddenly, but before th…

9d ago10:19

10:19

What we’re offering today is something completely different: two outlier artists (although one is a French icon) who created off-kilter, out of the box, almost unintelligible nuggets of artistic brilliance. These cuts are linked, not only by the fact that they both feature sinuous bass lines and orchestral flourishes, but that they are produced by …

17d ago9:33

9:33

Today we live in a cynical world. It’s pervasive, this debilitating disbelief in our institutions, our once assured tenets of groundedness. Now we doubt, not only what we see, but what we hear, and even our own thoughts. Are they indeed our own? Or, have they been shaped by the unrelenting marketers and influencers? Back in the 80’s - even earlier …

THERE'S NO BUSINESS LIKE SHOW BUSINESS I've been keeping a diary and dream journal for ten years.

It seems as though the 12 bar blues structure is an immovable object, an obelisk of sacred, ritualistic, totemic authority. But the form contains multitudes of variety. Here are two examples of the plasticity of that container, which holds the magic blues elixir and can pour it smoothly, or have it gush out, uncontrollably, like a tidal wave. So, b…

In 2005, while visiting the gift shop at the downtown Los Angeles MOCA museum, I came upon a blank journal with a cover fashioned from a salvaged vinyl album by The Allman Brothers. It had the pink Capricorn label. As a lover of vinyl I grabbed it, and decided to begin a journal. It’s been ten years, and I’ve been keeping this diary and transcribin…

DANNY KAYE: THE BENEFITS OF VERSATILITY David Daniel Kaminsky (1911-1987), known to the world as Danny Kaye, was an entertainer that could do it all. He was as adept at pathos as he was at antic comedy, and he captivated audiences throughout the 1950s with his magic. His signature patter songs, represented by our first number: Anatole of Paris, wer…

The “Novelty” song has deep roots in popular culture.

What is it about a swing rhythm that sets hearts a flutter? It’s a universal truth.

Ok, folks, we’ve got an unlikely pairing of unrequited torch anthems with an almost 40 year time span between them, featuring points of view which diverge 180 degrees. The first, from Cock Robin, showcases synthesized sounds which seem like they were caught in amber in 1985, and the second, an astounding display of songwriting and vocal pyrotechnic…
