The beginning of his career is fascinating, but -- like many rock bios -- the book begins to drag when Visconti exciting early years are over. Viscontis early years especially were exciting and enviable if you lived the music of that time. Through this, he met British producer Denny Cordell in while he was working as Richmond's in-house music producer. He has also collaborated as co-writer and producer on the album project by Richard Barone. We get inside the studio with some technical info that is hard to decipher and some more personal remembrances. For some fiction about this period, try Stairway to Hell by Charlie Williams. We learn very little about the birth of glam rock, but Visconti does mention that when he ran into Nathalie Merchant in , she served him a tuna wrap. It was a variation on Air on a G String I had paid attention during music appreciation classes in high school. Bill o'Reilly's Killing Ser. Click here to go to Subscribe page. This book provides a first-hand account of the London music scene of the s and 70s, from a man who helped to shape pop history.

Viconti has his tongue so far up the ass of certain living show business figures that his ghost writer's turdy tongue speaks with their voice - and in particular with the inflections of the tedious David Bowie.

    THE BRILLIANT MISTAKES [email protected] • 917.821.6262 THE BRILLIANT MISTAKES’ “DISTANT DRUMMING” SET FOR RELEASE OCTOBER 7 The Brilliant Mistakes—the New York City based band lauded for “restlessy catchy hooks, a clever turn of phrase and frothy, piano-driven pop with heart, soul and smarts” (The Boston Globe) are ready to unveil Distant Drumming, their new album set for release on October 7 on the band’s own Aunt Mimi’s Records. The album was produced by bassist Lincoln Schleifer (Levon Helm, Buddy Miller) and recorded at Lincoln’s Log Cabin in The Bronx, features guest musicians Mike Viola (The Candy Butchers, Walk Hard), Larry Campbell (Bob Dylan, Paul Simon) and Marc Shulman (Suzanne Vega) and was mastered by Fred Kevorkian (Ryan Adams, The White Stripes) in Hell’s Kitchen in Manhattan. Songwriter-bassist Erik Philbrook describes Distant Drumming as an album that musically and lyrically is about “finding and following the rhythms of your own life.” To that end the band sought to create a more organic album and delved deeper in the studio, experimenting with dynamics, arrangements, atmosphere, instrumentation and grooves to create music not only rich in meaning and emotion, but one that mixes blasts of majestic rock with meditative and moody acoustic pop and folk. The result is a ruthlessly thrilling album by a band that has long flown beneath the radar of the mainstream but are kindred spirits with such contemporaryAmericana envelope- pushers as Wilco, My Morning Jacket and Spoon. Distant Drumming benefits from the evolution of the band’s two songwriters—Alan Walker and Erik Philbrook— into separate but equally provocative lyricists.

  • Method to Our Madness As a New Beginning for Method to Our Madness Let Me Down Hard
    The last few years have been busy ones for Frankenstein 3000. After promoting their third full-length release, the well-received Where Do We Go From Here, for the good part of 2009, culminating with the band headlining the Love & Rockets Tribute CD Release Party, they spent a few months working on their second covers album and things did not slow down in 2010. Early in the year Frankenstein 3000 unleashed They’ll Be Waking Up Soon to more positive reviews; they served as the back-up band for legendary Dead Boys guitarist Cheetah Chrome as well as ex-Bongos leader Richard Barone; they put their unique stamp on songs by Queen, Devo, The Cars and Alice Cooper for a tributes on Main Man Records; they played numerous shows with David Johansen, recent Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame inductee Dennis Dunaway, The Batusis, Steve Conte & The Crazy Truth, Skid Row, Blue Coupe and a highly successful benefit show headlined by members of Bon Jovi; and front-man Keith Roth landed the lead role in an independent film, Let Me Down Hard. Throughout it all Frankenstein 3000 still found the time to record their strongest collection of songs yet. Method To Our Madness features 16 tracks, some of which have been revisited from earlier releases. Long-time fans may recognize titles like “Going Away”, “Everybody Else” and “Panic In Needle Park”, but the band feels that this is the first time these songs are being properly represented. “We decided to polish up some old gems, quite a few we had played live for a long time but never released” says guitarist/vocalist Keith Roth.

  • Song Stories
    Song Stories Music That Brings Back Memories and Emotions (Vol. 1) Kyle Bylin Song Stories Music That Brings Back Memories and Emotions (Vol. 1) Kyle Bylin © 2016 Kyle Bylin Contents CONTENTS 1 Introduction By Kyle Bylin Songs become a part of the story of our lives — something we take with us wherever we go. Inside of us, in our hearts and minds, their lyrics linger. We recall those words, but what we remember isn’t what they meant to the artist who wrote them. It’s what they mean to us. We interject ourselves into their songs, and it feels as though they mirror our own memories and emotions. Songs give us insight into those around us — those we love and hate. We see dysfunction in our relationships, come to understand the beauty and the darkness of our love, and gain empathy for the true nature of the human condition. Some songs make us happy, while others bring sadness. Some songs connect with our present, and others bring us back to the past. They help us recall the memories we have long forgotten. Some songs we simply enjoy because they don’t remind us of anyone or anything. Songs are tied to our personal identity and to particular moments in our lives. The more charged with emotion a chapter becomes, the more likely it is that a song will be associated with our memories of it. And not only with our memories of the events themselves, but with how we remember feeling. This is what music does for us. It connects with the stories of our lives.
