Replacements Reunite

<span class="bodytext1"><span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It’s been good news all
around of late if you happen to be a fan of <strong>the Replacements</strong>.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>From brand new songs from front man <strong>Paul
Westerberg</strong> to news yesterday that the former had reunited with ex-bandmate
<strong>Tommy Stinson</strong> to record four cover tunes for a new EP.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> (</span>The two longtime bandmates had previously confirmed
plans to work together for a track to benefit guitarist <strong>Slim Dunlap</strong>, the former
<strong>Replacements</strong> member who suffered a stroke earlier this year.)<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>

under <strong>the Replacements</strong> banner rather than another band name. The cover tunes,
which were recorded in a day at a Minneapolis studio in late September, are as
follows: <em>Busted Up</em> by <strong>Slim Dunlap</strong>, <em>Everything's Coming Up
Roses</em> from the musical <strong>Gypsy</strong>, <em>I'm Not Sayin'</em> by <strong>Gordon
Lightfoot</strong>, and<em> Lost Highway</em> by <strong>Hank Williams.</strong></span></span></span><span style="border: 1pt windowtext; font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 115%; mso-border-alt: none windowtext 0cm; padding: 0cm;"><br /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">

limited run of 250 copies, all of which will be auctioned off online. Proceeds
will go to <strong>Dunlap</strong>.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span class="bodytext1"><span style="line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-font-size: 10.5pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.5pt;">So, could a full scale <strong>Replacements</strong> reunion be in the
works? </span></span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Sad news today for Canadian music fans- <strong><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sam_Sniderman" target="_blank">Sam Sniderman</a></strong>, the
founder of Canada’s legendary<span style="color: red;"> Sam the Record Man</span> music store, has died.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
He was 92.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
<br />A release issued today says Mr. Sniderman passed away
peacefully in his sleep Sunday, surrounded by loved ones, in Toronto.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong>Mr. Sniderman</strong> opened his flagship store on Toronto’s Yonge
Street in 1959.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The iconic store closed
in 2007, seven years after he retired.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>It was this very store, with its huge flashing red neon record signs
that beckoned music lovers to discover its secrets within.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I cannot even begin to tell you of the many
pilgrimages I made to that store (and the many others he opened) to find some
rare piece of vinyl or CD.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But even more
than that, this was a place that gave me my musical education.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>An appreciation for something I value above
so much else even today.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I’m pretty sure
the same can be said for countless others too.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>These stores were hallowed ground and Sam preached the gospel to everyone
who passed through the doors.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>For that I
have the vision of that amazing entrepreneur to thank.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
<strong>Mr. Sniderman</strong> was a member of the Order of Canada, an
inductee of the Canadian Music Industry Hall of Fame and the Canadian Country
Music Hall of Fame.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Sam was a major
promoter of Canadian music. He also received a Governor General award and
Honorary doctorates from Ryerson University and the University of Prince Edward
Island.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong>Mr. Sniderman</strong> and his
brother, Sid opened a small store on College Street in Toronto in 1937 and
together they built a chain of Sam the Record Man stores that spanned the
country.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
The family says a service will be held Tuesday, September
25th, and that an October Memorial Service will be announced.<br /></span><br />

<span style="color: #999999; font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="color: black; font-size: small;">Thankfully I still have a few
bands that raise my pulse rate when I hear about new records in the works. <a href="http://www.mountain-goats.com/" target="_blank"><b>The Mountain Goats</b></a> are definitely one of
those bands. <b>John Darnielle</b> posted at length
yesterday about their upcoming new release <a href="http://www.mountain-goats.com/archives/2012/07/just-under-1000.html" target="_blank">on their website</a>.
It promises to be sublime as always. Read

</span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif";"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">So a simplified
timeline of how it went down looks like this: </span></span></span><a href="http://mergerecords.com/store/store_detail.php?catalog_id=759"><span style="color: blue; font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">All
Eternals Deck</span></a><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif";"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">
came out in March of last year and we toured a whole lot, and midway through
all that I came home to celebrate the results of the second ultrasound with </span></span><a href="http://lalitree.com/"><span style="color: blue; font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Lalitree</span></a><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif";"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">. June came around so we hied us to the west coast, but first we
stopped in Minneapolis, because who doesn't love Minneapolis, and we played a
show and Brandon and me shared a room like we always do, and at one point
Brandon went out into the hall to talk on the phone to his family and I had an
idea for a song so I started working on it, and the narrator turned out to be a
person who felt lost and alone and only partially able to keep it together. He
was living alone in the Pacific Northwest, and he was fighting the urge to just
stop fighting at all, and I recognized his voice because, one, I used to work
with a lot of people who spent long seasons in that guy's shoes, and two, I
have also been that guy. Who hasn't, if not north of Portland during the rainy
season then elsewhere, lost and desperate and trying to swim to the surface? <o:p></o:p></span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 125%; margin: 1.85pt 0cm 9.35pt;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif";"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">That song was called
"Until I Am Whole," and I played it for Brandon and we both felt like
it was touching on some themes I'd circled but never set my claws fully into.
So I kept writing through the summer, and in August the baby was born and I'd
cradle him in my left arm while writing melodies at the piano with my right,
and I said, let Osiris the keeper of the gates be my witness, other songwriters
may go soft when they get to be parents but I am going to keep going all the
way down into the inner darkness, it will set a good example for the baby, and
besides, what am I going to do, suddenly start writing songs about cute things
instead of songs about how to wrest cries of triumph from the screaming places?
Please. May the baby grow up to spit in my face if I should pose that hard. <o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 125%; margin: 1.85pt 0cm 9.35pt;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif";"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Some of the songs I
sent to </span></span><a href="http://www.owenpalletteternal.com/"><span style="color: blue; font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Owen Pallett</span></a><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif";"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"> to arrange for the

spring; meanwhile Peter & Jon & I worked some of the band arrangements
out onstage through spring, which is something I'd stopped doing, playing new
songs live before tracking them. Shouldn't have ever stopped doing that by the
way. Playing new songs rules. These arrangements & performances opened up
the songs for me and showed me things about them, and when we hit the studio, I
had a plan that was broad enough to let everybody contribute his own voice (a
big thing with me; I kind of don't believe in the One Dude Telling Everybody
What To Do model of album-making) but focused enough to keep dragging the songs
by their hair back to the central point of the record, which has to do with
whether anybody has the right to tell people whether their visions are sick or
not. Spoiler alert, absolutely nobody has that right, what makes me broken also
makes me whole, that is how it works and it's like striking gold when you find
that out so keep digging, don't even get me started. <o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>

painting that completely knocks me out and that brings us to the present. The
album's called Transcendental Youth, and it's coming out October 2nd on </span></span><a href="http://www.mergerecords.com/"><span style="color: blue; font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Merge</span></a><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif";"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"> and right around the same time on </span></span><a href="http://www.tomlab.de/front/index.php?"><span style="color: blue; font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Tomlab</span></a><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif";"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"> in the UK & Europe and on </span></span><a href="http://www.moorworks.com/"><span style="color: blue; font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Moorworks</span></a><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif";"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"> in Japan and on </span></span><a href="http://www.remotecontrolrecords.com.au/"><span style="color: blue; font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Remote Control</span></a><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif";"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"> in Australia &
New Zealand, and I've been getting letters from South America so I'm doing what
I can to get it released there. On this last tour that I just got home from, I
went into </span></span><a href="http://cloudcitysound.com/"><span style="color: blue; font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Cloud City</span></a><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif";"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"> with Brandon and
recorded four more songs by myself directly to 1/2" tape without overdubs,
and from those four, two will be cut directly from the tape to a 7". The
first pre-orders of the album will come with a copy of this 7", whose
songs will probably be available digitally before long; the actual vinyl
single, though, will be the end-point of a truly live all-analog chain that was
never converted at any point to ones and zeroes, which as one of Those Guys
makes me ridiculously happy. I will tell you more about these two songs later
on: one was written for the album but never tracked, the other's been around in
half-finished form for a while and finally got the bridge & last verse it
deserves.<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif";"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">So that's what I've
got. I cannot wait for everybody to hear what we've done this time. It is kind
of a family effort for us: the four of us who spend half the year in a tour van
together are the four who went into the studio to play & record songs whose
choruses grew from things scrawled in notebooks in the back of the van and
occasional demos recorded in hotel rooms between tour stops. We will be touring
this fall until we run out of places to go or the winged serpent returns,
whichever comes first. Here is the tracklisting for the album. I will see you
in October!<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN" style="mso-ansi-language: EN;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Proof positive that there is no
off switch in the genius <strong>Jack White</strong>/ Third Man Records marketing division. Yes indeed,
Jack White chose April 1st to release a limited-edition old school flexi disc single
by helium balloon from his </span><a href="http://thirdmanrecords.com/balloon" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Third Man Records </span></a><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #0b5394;">label headquarters in Nashville.<o:p></o:p></span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<span lang="EN" style="mso-ansi-language: EN;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #0b5394;">The track is “Freedom at 21” from
<strong>White</strong>'s forthcoming debut solo album, “Blunderbuss,” due April 21st. White and
colleagues at Third Man filled 1,000 blue ballons attached the discs and postcards
and released them into the sky.<o:p></o:p></span></span></span><br />

<span lang="EN" style="mso-ansi-language: EN;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #0b5394;">The stunt was described as <em>“an
experiment exploring nontraditional forms of record distribution and a way to
get records in the hands of people who don't visit record shops.”<o:p></o:p></em></span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<span lang="EN" style="mso-ansi-language: EN;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #0b5394;"><strong>White</strong>’s reps noted that the
balloons were made of biodegradable latex and were attached to the singles with
natural twine, to ease potential environmental concerns.<o:p></o:p></span></span></span><br />

</span><br />
<span lang="EN" style="mso-ansi-language: EN;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #0b5394;">People who find the discs after
the balloons burst or return to Earth are encouraged to report where and when
they were found and to submit photos, so that <strong>White </strong>and the <a href="http://thirdmanrecords.com/">Third Man</a> staff can
document their travels by way of the postcards <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>attached to the discs.<o:p></o:p></span></span></span><br />

launches, according to Third Man, is around 10%, indicating that perhaps as few
as 100 copies of the record will reach human hands.<o:p></o:p></span></span></span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Last year I posted a piece on a <strong>David Byrne</strong> and <strong>Will Oldham</strong> collaborative
effort that saw the two teamed for the soundtrack to <strong>This Must Be the Place</strong>, a
new film from the Italian director <strong>Paolo Sorrentino</strong>.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The film which stars <strong>Sean Penn</strong> as a retired
goth pop star looks intriguing and the soundtrack equally so. <a href="http://www.factmag.com/">FACT</a> now reports
that the <a href="http://www.vfeditions.com/product/view/53">Vinyl Factory</a> will issue the soundtrack April 23rd, as a 2xLP
heavyweight vinyl with gatefold packaging that includes images from the film.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong>Byrne </strong>and <strong>Oldham</strong>
collaborated on five tracks as composer and writer, respectively, recording
under the name <strong>the Pieces of Shit</strong>. Scatological references aside, the
soundtrack also features stellar contributions from <strong>Jónsi and Alex</strong>,<strong> Iggy Pop</strong>, and
others.</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong>This Must Be the
Place</strong> takes its name from the much loved <strong>Talking Heads</strong> title<em><strong> (This Must Be the
Place) Naive Melody</strong></em>. Several renditions of the song are included on the soundtrack,
including an updated live version by <strong>Byrne</strong>. <strong>David Byrne</strong> also makes an appearance in the
film; a fascinating (almost local) experience the musician <a href="http://journal.davidbyrne.com/2010/09/092310-dont-forget-the-motor-city.html">documented at length in his journal</a>.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

further details about the project, saying simply it will be "pretty

concert. He is also considering releasing the LP on vinyl only, with no
download version.</span></span></div>

<br /><br />
I remember very well fine tuning my shortwave radio to static filled BBC broadcasts
of the late<b> John Peel’s</b> influential radio program. At one time these groundbreaking sessions would serve as
the primary source for my voracious musical appetite. This was the one program that I could guarantee
I would hear music that barely any one on the planet had ever heard before. Hearing the Fall for the first time was
transformational on my young musical sensibilities. I miss the man and everything he did dearly.<br />
<br />
<b>John Peel</b> spent decades digging up amazing music and bringing it to the masses, and
sure you can still find low quality mp3’s and compilations of some of his
sessions if you dig. Great news <i>(thanks
Amity)</i> has emerged though at and now
we'll get online access to <b>Peel’s</b> entire music collection. It's a new
BBC-backed project called </span><a href="http://www.thespace.org/"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The Space</span></a><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">, and it goes live in May. </span><a href="http://www.thespace.org/"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The Space</span></a><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> will

vinyl singles and CDs.</span> </span><br />

<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Some great music news today as a report of a new album
by <b><a href="http://www.neilyoung.com/">Neil Young and Crazy Horse</a></b> has now
been confirmed by <u>Rolling Stone</u>. According
to a fan site report (</span><a href="http://neilyoungnews.thrasherswheat.org/2012/01/report-new-crazy-horse-album-recorded.html"><span style="color: blue; font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Thrasher's Wheat</span></a><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">) <b>Young</b> shared the news over the
weekend at the Slamdance Film Festival (in Park City, Utah) at an event with
<b>Jonathan Demme</b> to promote their new movie <i><b>Journeys</b></i>. The news that he was, “working with the <b>Horse</b>
again” was welcome news to their
ravenous fanbase. The full line-up of
<b>Crazy Horse</b> hasn't backed <b>Young</b> on an album since <i><b>Broken Arrow</b></i> in 1996.<o:p></o:p></span></span><br />

said that he's already recorded one album with <b>Crazy Horse</b> and another is in
the works. Speculation is high that the first
recording will surface sometime in the spring although a firm release date has
yet to be announced.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<a href="http://www.coachella.com/"></a><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">If there is one music festival that never fails to disappoint, the <a href="http://www.coachella.com/">Coachella Music Festival</a> is just that. Every year, music fans the world over flock to the Empire Polo Grounds in Indio, CA for a gathering in the desert quite unlike any other. In most cases a live edition of most Best of Year End list bands coupled with a handful of unbelievable reunion sets, the extended event is a not miss. This year's edition, which runs two consecutive weekends (April 13th-15th, April 20th-22nd) is nothing short of stellar.
<br /><br />Headlining duties for each night will be handled by long-running veteran acts, with the <strong>Black Keys</strong> on each Friday, <strong>Radiohead</strong> on the Saturdays, and performances from <strong>Snoop Dogg</strong> and <strong>Dr. Dre</strong> closing out both Sundays. On top of that, a number of current acts to perform at the California concert event include <strong>Bon Iver</strong>, <strong>M83</strong>, <strong>Frank Ocean</strong>, <strong>Girls</strong>, <strong>Cat Power</strong>, <strong>Neon Indian</strong>, <strong>Justice</strong>, <strong>Florence and the Machine</strong>, <strong>Beirut</strong>, <strong>the Shins</strong>,<strong> Feist</strong>, <strong>Andrew Bird</strong>, <strong>St. Vincent</strong>, <strong>Destroyer</strong>, <strong>Real Estate</strong>, <strong>Wild Flag</strong> and many more.
<br /><br />In keeping with tradition, the festival will host a number of artists in full reunion mode. <em>(Looks like some of those rumours were true-)</em> Brit-pop stalwarts <strong>Pulp</strong>, hardcore Swedish punk band <strong>Refused</strong>, <strong>Mike Watt's</strong> post-<strong>Minuteman</strong> spielmeisters <strong>fIREHOSE</strong> as well as a reunion set from post-rock legends <strong>Godspeed You! Black Emperor</strong>.</span><br />

<br /><br />Weekend passes have yet to go on sale for this year's Coachella, but you can check out the rest of the line-up on their website. Really though, who was asleep at the switch when they didn’t book the <strong>Black Keys</strong>, <strong>Black Lips</strong>, <strong>Black Angels</strong> and <strong>Godspeed You! Black Emperor</strong> on the same evening. It only makes sense.
<br /><br />Modeled after major long-running European festivals such as Denmark's Roskilde and England's Glastonbury, Coachella is coming off its second consecutive sellout year, hosting approximately 90 000 people per day. Tickets for the 2011 edition sold out in a record six days.<br /><br />Pack up the <a href="http://tucsoncitizen.com/retroflections/files/2010/01/1967_hippies_3.jpg">Microbus</a> Chester!

new music. Most of all though, I love the
graphing capabilities that are generated by scrobbling my music library. <i>(Not captured are the late night music
listening sessions in the music room, but illuminating nonetheless.)</i> Overall though, this is pretty accurate and
reflects what is playing on my computer as I am drafting reports for work or
scribbling emails, blog posts or searching out the next big musical thing.</span><br />

<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />I haven’t been the most prolific blogger this year but
I have listened to a lot of music. A
logical equation I suppose as the adage goes – ‘there are only so many hours in
the day after all’. That music was a
constant in my life should come as no surprise to those who know me well though. The ever present iPod, daily scanning of the tubes,
a host of great live shows and darkening the entrance of every record store I
find has uniquely prepared me to draft a comprehensive Best of Music List this
year.<br /><o:p></o:p></span></span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">And what a
year it has been... New records from the
heavy hitters like <b>Radiohead, Tom Waits</b> and <b>PJ Harvey</b>; sometimes they make it
look so easy. But this year it was the
newcomers that kept the musical fires within me alive.
The gentle Canadiana folk of<b> the Weather Station</b>, <b>James Blake’s</b> nervous
dubstep and <b>EMA’s</b> noisy rancor. The stuff
of greatness. The stuff that keeps me
forever seventeen on the inside. The stuff that makes me look forward to what lies down the road for 2012.<br />

alike.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The DVD, Chronology pulls
together live performances from across <strong>Talking Heads'</strong> career. It starts with
their earliest days at CBGB and The Kitchen in New York City in the
mid-seventies, through their breakthrough years in the late seventies and on to
global success in the eighties. They completed their last tour in 1983 although
they would continue to make very successful albums throughout the eighties
before officially breaking up in 1991. The DVD concludes with their
"reunion" performance of "Life During Wartime" on their
induction into the Rock `n' Roll Hall Of Fame in 2002. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

This was very much a live band—at least until the late 80s. The initial
recordings emerged out of what we played live, what worked in that context and
how we refined our skills playing together. For a lot of musicians in the digital
era this is not always the case. These days, the record often comes first and
then how it is staged comes later. </blockquote>

<span class="bodytext1"><span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I once asked a friend
about the enduring appeal of <strong><a href="http://www.leonardcohen.com/ca/home">Leonard Cohen</a></strong> and just what was it that keeps it going.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“It’s his dependability…”, she replied.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“<strong>Leonard Cohen</strong> is an institution and he never
lets me down.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That comment came to mind
last month when it was announced that <strong>Cohen</strong> would be returning with a new record
called<span style="color: black;"> </span><i><span style="color: black;"><strong>Old
Ideas</strong></span></i>. You certainly can’t get any more dependable than those and Cohen’s
‘golden voice’.<br />

<span lang="EN" style="mso-ansi-language: EN;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">News broke a few
days ago that </span><a href="http://www.radiohead.com/"><span style="color: blue; font-family: inherit;"><strong>Radiohead</strong></span></a><span style="font-family: inherit;"><strong> </strong>when <strong>Ed O'Brien</strong> pronounced the band would be
"on the road from the end of February to November"; Alas, sadly no firm
dates accompanied the announcement.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Good
news then, all of you excited event planners and calendar jugglers the first announcement
of the band's live plans has just come out. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">
</span><span lang="EN" style="mso-ansi-language: EN;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">The initial announcement is ten US tour dates, which begin at<strong> </strong><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Miami</span>'s</span>
American Airlines Arena on February 27<sup><span style="font-size: x-small;">th</span></sup> and end at <span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Glendale</span>'s</span>
Jobing.com Arena on March 15<sup><span style="font-size: x-small;">th</span></sup>. Rest assured, the band are expected
to announce more dates in the coming weeks, but have not said when this will be
as yet. <br />
<br />
Exciting news though, this might be just the excuse you need to break the
monotony of winter for a trip to the American south. Looks like nice sized venues too!</span></span><br />
