Combining electro-rock with theatrical funk, Ghostland Observatory describe themselves as "a robot making love to a tree". Nashville-based live electronic/dance music, Jensen Sportag is opening and draws comparisons to Phoenix, Ratatat, and Wesley Willis. Sounds like it should be a pretty interesting spectacle of a show.

Tonight in Baltimore don’t miss Rafter at the Hexagon. Should be a good one. If you’re down south in DC Phosphorescent plays DC9 with Virgin Forest, and The Rosewood Thieves play the Red and the Black with Bamboo Shoots. Also in DC are Karina and Aphrodizia by Yoko K at the Black [...]

"Rockin’ in Rhythm" was for many years, Duke Ellington’s theme song before Billy Strayhorn wrote "Take the ‘A’ Train" in 1939. Duke kept this work in his repertoire and used it as an encore or as a way to bring the band on stage. Ernie Wilkins writes a brilliant buoyant chart of this perennial with plenty of ooh-wahs coming quickly from the brass. The extroverted jazz man Harry James plays here with plenty of brilliance and flashy technique, his solo harking back to t... MORE

Another long time big band favorite is "Jersey Bounce" which was associated with the Count Basie orchestra and which had a further association with a World War 2 bomber of the same name. After a brass exhalation, the saxes come in on a relaxed riff that is this work’s most famous tag. Muted brass figures usher in a muted solo by Harry James that is truly pungent. A swinging middle section exploits the full tonal delights of this sophisticated chart. The beginning take... MORE

Millions of Dead Cops have been known by millions of freaking names: Millions of Damn Christians, Multi Death Corporation, etc. But what's in a name? That which we call a rose... By any other name would smell as sweet.
MDC started in Austin Texas, 1979, and plays 80s political hardcore punk rock in the veins of Reagan Youth and Dead Kennedys. The lyrics were sarcastic and harsh yet

The second of two Ernie Wilkins scores, "Ensemble" is a marvelously subdued chart with plenty of colorful contrasts in unison. The pallette is expanded with the use of a flute to the sax section adding brilliance to the scoring. The crisp playing of the James ensemble, always one of the many reasons to love this band is everywhere in evidence.

Royalty seems to be involved in some strange ways in music of a non-classical way. Take the "King Porter Stomp." It was written by Jelly Roll Morton who proclaimed himself the "King of Jazz." It was written as a tribute to another bit of royalty, ragtime pianist Porter King who also know as King Porter. Hence the title and the lineage of this work. Harry James plays a wonderfully laid back, relaxed version of this time honored classic as arranged by Ernie Wilkins. The... MORE

My good buddy AP, set us up for some GnR news yesterday, but here's the latest. It finally happened. Fourteen years later and Chinese Democracy is actually a reality. We've made it past all the rumors, the hoax news stories, and finally have a tangible product - the question is - will you love it as much as you loved classics from GnR?
The album is officially in-stores (Best Buy only) on November 23rd, but if you can't wait a few more days (really, we've waited 14 yrs what... MORE

I've got a hot one for you today EQs. Say hello to The Dossier. They are a New York based electronica band who is a bit (well more than a bit) reminiscent of Erasure and Depeche Mode. I mean, my goodness just look at them - it's like the two bands morphed together. This is what Erasure and Depeche Mode might sound and look like if the two collaborated together. It's an obvious comparison, but I don't think the boys will mind one bit. Take a listen to their hot... MORE
