The blues artist reveals all at the BRITs nomination party.
Jan 22, 2009
BRIT Award nominee Seasick Steve has revealed he is set to work with Jack White.
Speaking at the BRITS nomination party, the 67-year-old confirmed he was collaborating with The White Stripes mainman.
"I'm meeting up with Jack White to record soon, so things are going very well indeed," he said.
Despite being nominated for Best International Male at the BRITS (the oldest ever nominee), Seasick Steve revealed that he hadn't ever heard of the ceremony before being invited to the launch, reports The Daily Star.
Earlier this month, Adele confirmed that she had also collaborated with Jack White. "We ended up doing some stuff in London," she said. "He's a good laugh and I'd like to do more."
Jack White - White To Record With Yorke
Font: Contactmusic.com.
Jack White will hit the studio with Radiohead frontman Thom Yorke as soon as he is fully recovered from his neck injury. The White Stripes singer is suffering from a slipped disc and has been ordered to rest for two months.
But he reveals Yorke will be the first person he calls when he's ready to perform again - and he's already got a few songs ready. He says, "We've known each other for a while now. But the doctors said I couldn't perform for two months. I've been writing a lot instead."

Flight of the Conchordes Fly Over Your Head Joyfully
The following is a review of Flight Of the Conchordes by Ruth Spiegel,67, Syracuse, January 18, 2009 8:29PM
"Flight of the Conchords"
10 p.m. Jan. 18, HBO
This is the second season of this program which started with this showing. There are 10 episodes in this season.
We have two New Zealanders named Jemaine and Bret who now are living in New York City's Lower East Side. They are the stars in this music-comedy series.
Tonights' episode has them quitting their manager named Murray seeking work elsewhere only to find they really can't because they have no work visas so they go back to work for Murray.
I personally find that I probably wouldn't find myself watching this program again because it is not the type of programming that I really enjoy.

Rock on Ruth. One must love the new world of critics that the internet has birthed.

Disallowing embedding on youtube prevents blogs from promoting your "product." Wise up.
The leaks aren't coming from print reviewers so guess again and quit messing around with watermarked copies and streaming and just send us regular cds with ample time for pitches. It's tough to review an album when you have no artwork/liner notes/lyrics.
People who are going to buy album - will but an album - regardless of whether they download it or not. If you allow for people to grow into music lovers again they will support the bands they love.

New Coconut Records Download Available
Okay, so normally I am vehemently against actors releasing albums. I mean, I'm not even going to talk about the debacles of Bruce Willis or Joe Pesci. Crap I just did. But really - you're a famous actor - revel in your good fortune and don't unleash your vanity projects upon an unsuspecting world. Ya hear me? Well, I give actor Jason Schwartzman a free pass, because the music he creates is really good. It warms the heart and makes you feel a bit tingly. Tingly in a happy way, not in a sexual way, or in a "my foot is asleep, please stomp on it" way. In fact, I heard the album and loved it before I knew it was Jason Schwartzman's music. And not that I have an anti Schwartzman agenda, I like what I've seen of his films, (which means Wes Anderson projects and I Heart Huckabees), but I'm no afficienado of all things Jason.
So...
In case you didn't know... "Coconut Records is the name of a musical solo project by Jason Schwartzman based in Los Angeles, California. Schwartzman began Coconut Records in 2006. The debut album by Coconut Records, Nighttiming, was released on Schwartzman's Young Baby Records in 2007." The debut album was really great. Honest.
The new album is available as a stream on myspace or as a digital download via AmieStreet.com. I listened to some of it briefly yesterday and really enjoyed it. You might have heard the single "West Coast" from the debut release Nightiming. Apparently it's getting popular now -- better late than never huh? It was played in the film Cloverfield - which I didn't see, because I'm a dorky movie snob. Here's the "West Coast" video. It's a sweet song. Sweet as in lovely - not as in "sweet dude." You Can Buy Coconut Records Stuff Here
The new album Davy has a release date listed as January 20. Lookee here:

Adele and Jack White?
Who the hell gave people the idea that just because they can write on the internet - it doesn't mean they should. And what the hell is happening to journalism. I don't know if this is reliable and it's not even properly written, (look at the first sentence,) but I love Adele and jack White so I hope it isn't a rumor.
Adele Working With Jack White
by Music-News.com - January 12 2009
Adele is have a second go of songwriting with Jack White.
The Chasing Pavements star said she and The White Stripes vocalist had a session booked together but he had to postpone it to write the theme tune to Quantum of Solace..She said: "I was well annoyed with him because we'd arranged studio time together but then he had to go and record the James Bond theme tune."
Speaking to the Daily Star, the 20-year-old singer added: "But we ended up doing some stuff in London. He's a good laugh and I'd like to do more."
Adele also revealed that she sings backing vocals on the forthcoming second album by fellow Londoner Jack Penate.She said: "He's one of my best mates. It's very exciting stuff. It's not as indie or guitar driven as his first album. People are going to be surprised."

Buy Catnip Dynamite. It's a record that has elements of things I hate all smooshed together with things I love, which does not make me the slightest bit ambivalent. You like Air? You like Jellyfish?

Gay Zombies Can't Get A Break
Youtube removed the non G rated clips for the Bruce LaBruce film Otto;or, Up With Dead People. I still haven't run across a local screening.
Synopsis as posted on the film's website:
Directed by Bruce LaBruce
94 minutes
Germany/Canada - 2008
A young zombie named Otto appears on a remote highway. He has no idea where he came from or where he is going. After hitching a ride to Berlin and nesting in an abandoned amusement park, he begins to explore the city. Soon he is discovered by underground filmmaker Medea Yarn, who begins to make a documentary about him with the support of her girlfriend, Hella Bent, and her brother Adolf, who operates the camera. Meanwhile, Medea is trying to finish "Up with Dead People," the epic political-porno-zombie movie that she has been working on for years. She convinces its star, Fritz Fritze, to allow the vulnerable Otto to stay in his guest bedroom. When Otto discovers that there is a wallet in his back pocket that contains information about his past, before he was dead, he begins to remember a few details, including memories of his ex-boyfriend, Rudolf. He arranges to meet him at the schoolyard where they met, with devastating
results.

Itunes Pricing News
Apple has announced they will be changing their price from .99 per song to .69 and that the majority will be drm free. They released the following statement:
"Beginning today, all four major music labels — Universal Music Group, Sony BMG, Warner Music Group and EMI — and thousands of independent labels, now offer their music in the DRM-free iTunes Plus format with higher-quality 256 kbps AAC encoding. iTunes customers can also now purchase and download songs directly onto their iPhone 3G over their 3G network — just as they do with Wi-Fi today — for the same price as downloading to their computer. And in April, based on what the music labels charge Apple, songs on iTunes will be available for 69¢, 99¢, or $1.29, with most albums still priced at $9.99."
Now will the major labels get a friggin' clue and stop disabling embedding on youtube videos?
"Beginning today, all four major music labels — Universal Music Group, Sony BMG, Warner Music Group and EMI — and thousands of independent labels, now offer their music in the DRM-free iTunes Plus format with higher-quality 256 kbps AAC encoding. iTunes customers can also now purchase and download songs directly onto their iPhone 3G over their 3G network — just as they do with Wi-Fi today — for the same price as downloading to their computer. And in April, based on what the music labels charge Apple, songs on iTunes will be available for 69¢, 99¢, or $1.29, with most albums still priced at $9.99."

Stooges Guitarist Ron Asheton Has Died
Ronald Franklin Asheton July 17, 1948 - January 6, 2009
Stooges guitarist Ron Asheton was found dead in his Michigan home.
An official cause of death has not yet been released. From the Stooges camp:
"We are shocked and shaken by the news of Ron’s death. He was a great friend, brother, musician, trooper. Irreplaceable. He will be missed.
For all that knew him behind the façade of Mr Cool & Quirky, he was a kind-hearted, genuine, warm person who always believed that people meant well even if they did not.
As a musician Ron was The Guitar God, idol to follow and inspire others. That is how he will be remembered by people who had a great pleasure to work with him, learn from him and share good and bad times with him."

Mix Tapes For The (Hopefully) Impressionable
I made mixes for many young people this holiday season and here is a song I put on my 14 year old pseudo niece's mix by Be Your Own Pet titled "Becky." She's into The Jonas Brothers and Disney and stuff, but I'm trying to broaden her horizons.
I also gave her The Runaways
I also gave her The Gossip "Listen Up"
I'll post some more things I put on my nephews mixes and such in a few days if I remember. Let me know if you have any other song ideas. It's been forever since I've had a comment.
