Album of the Week: Joel Gion Joel Gion It’s funny how a musician can go from playing tambourine for one of the most talented psychedelic rock acts of the century to putting out a legit solo record. That’s exactly what Joel Gion did when he put out his self-titled second release on Nov 17 via the Brooklyn indie label Beyond Beyond is Beyond. People might know him from his time as the percussionist for the San Francisco psych-rock act The Brian Jonestown Massacre. His solo material has a similar psychedelic vibe but it borders on dream pop while encompassing jazzy techniques. It makes for a calming listening experience that’ll set the mood for a positive environment. Gion’s vocals are very reminiscent of the folk singer-songwriter Rodriguez. It gives the record a retro aesthetic while the production quality maintains a modern tone. There’s nothing dull about the album either, as there’s something different in each track. An entertaining musical voyage follows with an immense variety of dimensions. Unapologetic coolness oozes out with each note, and by the final song a lasting impression will be made. When a member of an established band goes solo, it can have different results. It can be a disaster, like Pete Townsend after The Who initially broke up in the early ’80s. It can also be a stunning exhibition of talent like The Joe Perry Project when he left Aerosmith before rejoining the band. Gion shines with his debut having a lot to offer the ears. Take a closer look and check out my top tracks off of the Album of the Week: The jazz leanings are best exemplified in “Come to Light” – there’s an array of flute and laid-back beats that revolve around Gion and his acoustic guitar. “Divide” has an elegant feel due to the guitar and piano feeding off each other; it’s uniquely pristine while the flute anchors a harmony that’s contagious throughout the entire song. The black sheep of the album is “Mercury in Retrograde,” harking back to The Brian Jonestown Massacre’s edgy brand of rock with electric distorted guitars. Gion doesn’t have any shows announced but he’ll probably do a tour in support of his new album sometime next year. While we all wait for that happen, grab a copy of the record either online or at your local record store. It’s mellow, cool and rad all at the same time.

YouTube — like television before it — is caught up in the same adventure that comes from defi ning its target audience as well as fi nding out what audiences are willing to watch. For television, the adventurous nature of its early endeavors could be traced to the fact that TV was so new that audiences really didn’t know what they wanted.

AnyoneCOPYRIGHTED who wants to show off their videoMATERIAL prowess or share their vision with the world can hang a virtual shingle on YouTube by starting their own channel. Of course, when television began, we humans had more toes than the TV had chan- nels. These days, YouTube has billions of users. That makes running a successful YouTube channel seem a bit more daunting.

THE FACT IS: IT’S URGENT. Our most brilliant scientific minds are dedicated to finding cures for diseases like cancer, HIV/AIDS and Alzheimer’s, and our most celebrated artists stand behind them. In our lifetime, we deserve to see: • Our brain span match our lifespan • Early diagnosis to improve our odds • Our DNA become the blueprint for health • Research funding as a national priority We Stand Together and Refuse to Accept “No Cure” as an Answer. 2 ROCK STARS OF SCIENCE BRIEFING www.rockstarsofscience.org ROCK STAR Joe Perry, co-founder, Aerosmith, rock & roll legend As co-founding member, principal co-songwriter, electrifying lead guitarist and co-producer of Aerosmith, Perry has achieved permanent iconic stature in the pantheon of rock.
