• Boogie T Rifflandia Victoria BC September 14

At the back end of Riff's vibrant Electric Avenue, Boogie T dropped into his set of laidback bass MUSIC to fans still streaming into the brewery lot. His MUSIC may be formulaic in some respects ― using EDM hallmarks like overusing done-to-death bass and predictable drops to pull in a distinctly younger ELECTRO ic

• Dr John the voodoofuelled showman who beat his own path through rock
  The trailblazer who injected New Orleans RB with sinister psychedelia will live on as an icon of curdled idealismFor a few years after the Summer of Love, record stores were thick with hastily knocked-together concept albums about astrology or Indian mysticism or the occult, designed to cash in on the audience’s supposedly expanded consciousness. Here, it seemed, was another: a session MUSIC an reinventing himself as Dr John, singing songs about Louisiana voodoo thick with New Orleans slang and Creole patois, clad in a flamboyant Mardi Gras headdress and facepaint. Yet Gris Gris was anything but a novelty record. It was both one of the most extraordinary debut albums of the 60s and the beginning of a solo career that would last 51 years.Its presentation certainly courted the psychedelic market – Dr John billed himself as the “Night Tripper”, a lysergic honorific that nodded to the Beatles – but the MUSIC bore almost no relation to anything else in rock MUSIC at



• Art Neville New Orleans funk star dies aged 81

• A GUY CALLED GERALD MAKES INFLAMMTORY COMMENTS ON DALLAS SHOOTINGS
  As was widely reported in global media on Friday, ex US military servicemen Micah Johnson, an African-American, shot and killed five police officers and wounded seven others, as well as two civilians, in a sniper attack at a rally against police violence in Dallas.The rally followed the fatal police shootings of two black men in separate incidents in Louisiana and Minnesota, as part of a string of similar occurances in recent years, and which resulted in president Barack Obama changing his international schedule in order to speak out about how he viewed the latest incidents as unjustifiable.Many people in the DANCE MUSIC world reacted to the events. On Twitter, Skrillex said, “No more death, no more fighting, no more killing. Go out of your way to make someone feel happy, the world needs it.”Reaction also came from the UK too, with Stormzy writing a lengthy Facebook post, which stated, “All I can do is urge everyone to do more, that's what I'm going to do. Protest, march, donate, speak out, call out b******t, build within your community, help those in need.”But, on Friday afternoon, A Guy Called Gerald took to social media making inflammatory comments that caused a huge media backlash. (Warning: the video within the Facebook post contains graphic content and strong language)After the reaction to his statement about the Dallas tragedies on social media, with many citing that he made his money from a scene built around peace and tolerance, he further stoked the fire, refusing to back down, whilst referring to himself as “Lucipher the crucified”.In the early hours of yesterday morning, he took to Facebook again, attempting to back up his comments, whilst citing a piece on The Guardian which charts the rate of people killed by US police officers in 2015.Seth Troxler had a more measured reaction to the violence in the US, tweeting a video of Trevor Noah on The Daily Show speaking out on the recent shootings, where he said, “The hardest part about having a conversation surrounding

• The 100 greatest UK No 1s No 15 Jerry Lee Lewis – Great Balls of Fire
  The 1957 rock’n’roll hit is still one of the most lascivious songs ever recordedRead our 100 greatest list as it counts downThe revolutionary force of rock’n’roll’s first wave echoed down the years because it broke racial taboos, mixing black and white MUSIC black and white youth and black and white America. But its most explosive individual moments often emerged from a different kind of tension: that between sin and piety, between God and the devil.It was a real conflict, as the tapes rolling in Sun Studios on 8 October 1957 proved. Jerry Lee Lewis was up in the city from Ferriday, Louisiana, to record the follow-up to Whole Lotta Shakin’ Goin’ On, the remarkable single that managed to make having chicken in the barn (“Whose barn? What barn? My barn!”) sound like something unspeakably filthy. He’d turned up at Sun to find Sam Phillips had a song for him from Otis Blackwell, who had written for Elvis, and whose Fever was a searingly sexual song without ever being explicit. Blackwell was, if you like, the king of being sexually implicit. Continue reading...

• ‘It was a bit of a blur’ Britney Spears on the making of Baby One More Time
  As the smash hit that changed the musical landscape turns 20, Britney, along with her collaborators, discuss the creation of a pop masterpieceDUN DUN DUN. “Oh baby, baby ... ”. In just three seconds ...Baby One More Time, which turns 20 this year, announced the arrival of a new superstar: the then 16-year-old ex-Mouseketeer from Kentwood, Louisiana, Britney Jean Spears. Along with its equally iconic high school-set music video it re-turfed pop, kickstarting an entire sound (think funk-tinged RB grooves mixed with Abba melodies), sweeping aside the dregs of grunge (sorry, Bush) and US heartland rock (bye, Hootie the Blowfish), revitalising pop radio and MTV in the process, before cementing its songwriter and co-producer Max Martin as one of modern music’s most influential exponents. In the space of just three minutes and 31 seconds, Spears launched millennial teen pop, fusing family-friendly, girl-next-door fun with good old fashioned controversy, forging a template for those who followed.Without it, there would by no Christina Aguilera, no Katy Perry, no Charli XCX; Taylor Swift would probably still be singing country songs, and Eminem – who arrived in 1999 – would not have had as much to rail against. Released in the wake of Alanis Morissette’s hugely successful 1995 album Jagged Little Pill and its litany of imitators, it presented a different angle to the prevalent idea of female angst; this was gloriously OTT teen girl longing, encapsulated by a lyric – “My loneliness is killing me” – that feels depressingly evergreen. “The whole song is about that stress that we all go through as teens,” Spears tells me. “I knew it was a great song. It was different and I loved it, [but] I don’t think you can anticipate how a song is going to be received.” Continue reading...



• M Ward Migration Stories review – expanding the borders of Americana
  (Anti-)The vocals are perpetually reverbed and the guitars are always twangy, but on his 10th studio album, the singer-songwriter stretches his legs a littleA quarter of a century ago, on the song Windfall, Son Volt conjured a lyric that pretty much captures the modus operandi of M Ward: “Catching an all-night station somewhere in Louisiana / Sounds like 1963, but for now it sounds like heaven.” Over more than 20 years, Ward has developed and refined a style whose roots are planted somewhere between Elvis leaving the army and the Beatles coming to the fore, but whose branches and blooms are very much part of modern Americana.

• Rhiannon Giddens ‘I see this album as part of a movement to reclaim black female history’
  The Grammy-winning artist’s collaborative project Songs of Our Native Daughters puts poems and narratives about slavery to musicThe song came to the Grammy award-winning musician Rhiannon Giddens a few years ago. It sounded like a nursery rhyme sung from the unquestioning perspective of a child. “Mama’s cryin’ long,” it began. “Mama’s hands are shaking.” A tale unfurled from this point about an enslaved woman, forced to lie down “again and again” by the “boss’s man”. One night, she kills him, then the story’s denouement plays out. “Mama’s in the tree,” Giddens sings. “And she can’t come down,” a chorus of voices reply.Those other voices are traditional roots musicians Allison Russell, Amythyst Kiah and the Haitian-American Leyla McCalla. Over 12 intense days in Louisiana in January 2018, they came together with Giddens to make Songs of Our Native Daughters, forming a supergroup of sorts, trying to do something new with traditional music. It shouldn’t have felt new: the project’s source material was old, taking in overlooked slave narratives (Mama’s Cryin’ Long was inspired by one of them) and neglected female characters in folk songs. But the collective aim of these artists was to do something that hadn’t been done before: to tell forgotten stories of the African diaspora in North America, with its women upfront.
