The happiest band in the world…

The feel-good vibes I picked up from seeing The Cat Empire four years ago haven’t worn off. This joyful group is meant to be experienced live.

That little show at the Independent was the most FUN show I have ever been to.

My face was sore from smiling for days afterward.

And they’re finally coming back to North America in 2012.

Can’t wait!

What a beautiful thing.

You know what this movement needs? MORE MUSIC.

Ben L’Oncle Soul — The French Soulman

What a great day. I’m a tipple winner! Today I heard Ben L’Oncle Soul for the first time AND I get to hear him live for the first time AND the show is at Stern Grove in San Francisco. Oh, AND he’s opening for Sharon Jones! That’s a quadruple winning day.

I don’t know what he’s saying, but he sounds merveilleux!

Taylor Hicks, August 25, 2010, San Francisco, California, Audio Recording

A friend and I caught Taylor Hicks at the Rrazz Room in San Francisco last week.

It was my first time at the venue. It had a great vibe and great sound.

It was my zillionth time seeing Taylor Hicks. He also had a great vibe and a great sound. I thought it was one of the better TH shows I’ve seen. I still think The Roxy was the best TH show I’ve ever seen, but this Rrazz Room show is now my second favorite. That’s my second favorite out of a zillion shows, so that is saying something.

He was relaxed, but serious. He rocked it out, mixed it up, was liberal with the tags, and had an entertaining set list. It was a treat to have LiMBO band members Jeff Lopez on the sax, Brian Less on the keys, and Sam Gunderson on guitar. Those guys seem like old friends I haven’t seen in a long time, and it was great to see and hear them again. They were joined by the excellent Leif Bondarenko and Matt Kimbrell on drums and percussion and the excellent Brandon Peeples on bass.

The venue had an aura of ‘cool,’ and the crowd was cool, too.

We had good seats and I had planned to record the show as usual so obviously I brought my recorder. Unfortunately, but I forgot something I needed to make my mics work, so I couldn’t use them. It’s too bad too, because the sound was great at our seats and it would have been a pretty good recording.

At the last minute I decided to try my luck with using the internal mics on my recorder. I hit record, and let it go.

I think it doesn’t sound too bad for using the internal mics, so I’m going to go ahead and post the recording…

Samples:

Can’t You Hear Me Knocking

Soul Thing (love the tags starting around the 6:00 mark…)

Back to Louisiana

Seven Mile Breakdown

Hold On To Your Love

Bulletproof

Jamie Lidell Live, June 18, 2010 @ The Independent, San Francisco recap/audio

I thought I was getting two Jamie Lidell shows for the price of one yesterday, but I got stuck in traffic on 101 and missed the 6:00 show at Amoeba Records. By the time I got there, the band was packed up and waiting outside the store for their ride. On the bright side, I was in the City for the show at The Independent early and I got to say ‘hey’ to JAMIE LIDELL in front of Amoeba Records. (!!)

His show at the Independent was an hour and a half of happy, funky, satisfaction. He looks and sounds healthy and at the very top of his game. He says he is in love right now. That may explain why he seems so…buoyant.

I had a blast at the show. More fun than I’ve had in a while. I reinforced my decision to be sure to never miss a Jamie Lidell show when he comes to town. He’s just phenomenal.

Bonus: The recording came out pretty good!

Here are some samples:

The Ring

Jamie Lidell – The Ring

I like my Jamie Lidell electronic, funky, and soulful so I’m L-O-V-I-N-G his latest, “The Ring.”

I really like how the song evolves.

The video is a little distracting…

Stephen Colbert sings Elvis Costello TO Elvis Costello

guitar: Elvis Costello
vocals: Stephen Colbert

Love it!

(poor quality vid, but that’s the best comedy central will let stay on youtube. He still sounds great.)

More Colbert goodies here. My favorite (after ‘Cheap Reward’ of course) is ‘Charlene (I’m Right Behind You)’.
