04.05.11[In Memoriam] Kurt Cobain (d. 5 April 1994)[caption id="attachment_6478" align="aligncenter" width="550" caption="Photo by Alice Wheeler"][/caption] Every year I state that I won't talk about April 5th, 1994 until I'm good and ready. It's been 17 years, and I'm still not quite at that point. In retrospect, I'd imagine most of you would have probably done the same things I did that day if you were in my particular situation living in Seattle. Gene Stout was there and I'm sure he (like I) remembers how the next several days were a virtual blur. Continue Reading...

03.18.11[Tribute] Nate Dogg x Burial x Four Tet x Thom Yorke – I Got EgoI was really impressed with this nicely mashed-up tribute to Nate Dogg (who sadly passed away this week at the age of 41) put together by Richard The Third. Putting together "I Got Love" with the new Burial, Four Tet and Thom Yorke track "Ego", I think it speaks for itself. Nate Dogg, you were the master of the G-Funk era, and like this picture says: It Aint a Hit Unless Nate Dogg Sings On It. Rest in Peace, Nate.

10.03.08The Gay Blades pay tribute to Paul Newman with a cover of “Plastic Jesus”First of all, I'm a big huge jerk. I got a CD in the mail from The Gay Blades months and months ago (maybe even a year ago). It had a post-it note on it that said, "TGB + EJ 4 Fun Times" inside a big heart-shape. It contained a delightful collection of what they call "trash pop". I was moved. Then, I forgot about the CD and The Gay Blades and their heart-shaped post-it note. It was at this point when it should have occured to me: I had unintentionally trampled on their heart as ...

08.15.08TRIBUTES: Andy Gill offers an insightful and moving tribute to the hot buttered soul of Stax and Isaac HayesReviewing reviewers isn't really the norm around these parts; I'm not a music news blogger or someone who tends to reblog things. However, one of the people I'm following over at my Tumblr blog (now my personal blog) pointed me in the direction of this compelling look at the importance of Isaac Hayes to the history of soul music. Written by Andy Gill, it's an incredibly relevant and insightful look at why the successes of Isaac Hayes's inventions paved the way for the careers of many others whom we consider to be the greatest performers in soul music ...
