From Darren at Bobby Best Creative:
This is one totally messed up group, but you just gotta love ’em!
Check out the way Reverend J. Peyton plays some mighty fine fingerstylin’ American country/blues on his 1930 steel-bodied and his 1934 wood-bodied axe and the way Breezy Peyton plays her washboard with golf gloves to which thimbles have been attached.
All in all, perfect fun for all the family and I, for one, can’t wait to see them perform at the Bunbury Music Festival in Cincinnati in July.
Not getting tickets to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction this weekend in Cleveland doesn’t bother me as much now (the thing sold out in like 2 minutes). Not only will there not be a Guns N’ Roses reunion but Axl Rose isn’t even going to show up.
“I won’t be attending The Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame Induction 2012 Ceremony and I respectfully decline my induction as a member of Guns N’ Roses to the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame.” – Axl Rose
Undoubtedly, Axl’s going to take a lot of shit for this and it’s going to be called a “stunt”, but his letter to the LA Times makes some good points and I have to say that I don’t think any less of him for this.
From the LA Times: Axl Rose pens letter to Rock Hall: won’t attend, declines induction
Well, not only is she an actress, but she’s a singer too. Alexandra Socha posted the “Sara Sessions” on Bandcamp and says this about the songs: Once Upon A Time, Paul Fujimoto and I had a lot of time on our hands, a piano, some fancy recording equipment and two books of Sara Bareilles songs (beer may have also been involved). We saw then it was our destiny to record covers of her awesome songs and release them once a week for the next month. Enjoy “The Sara Sessions”!
I’ve been referencing Santana a lot in recent reviews I’ve written (Howlin Rain, Radio Moscow, Bravo Johnson, etc.) figured I might spend a little time listening to the guitarist.
Starting off with his greatest hits, this is the song that stuck out.
I don’t really have any interest in modern Santana stuff, but will keep digging into his early stuff.
This week’s “Pick of the Week” by the guys over at Bobby Best Creative is Hannah Peel’s cover of Tears for Fears “Head Over Heels”. The instrument featured in the video – the pin-barrel harp (Sharpsichord) – is a programmable mechanically-played harp.
Here’s what Darren from Bobby Best Creative had to say: I was digging around looking at remixes of New Order’s “Blue Monday” and stumbled across this little beauty.
