“Pop is the perfect religious vehicle. It's as if God had come down to earth and seen all the ugliness that was being created and chosen pop to be the great force for love and beauty.”
-Some primo Donovan philosophy from an article in Queen magazine in 1967, reprinted in a review of the Four Donovan Originals box set.

Mumford and Sons Show

So, normally I don't write about shows I attend unless something is out of the ordinary...we all see shows, we all know what happens...but in this case something was. I was finally able to get tickets to a Mumford and Sons show, which I am still amazed that I got (both of their US tours have been sold out). I missed out on the first tour, so I was very excited about seeing them. I have to say the show was really good....better than I was expecting in some cases.

The part that was exceptional was a totally acoustic performance....all 4 guys, no mics, one guitar. Marcus asked all 8,000 of us to be quiet, which took some time, but was well worth it. They sang 'Timshel' and 'Sisters' in almost complete silence...it was quite awesome.
This is 'Timshel'...one of my faves

Wasn't that just freakin lovely...doesn't get much better

The set was also filled with songs off the latest album, some older and a lot of new songs...here are some of the new songs.



I looove this one.

They also met a local band, Seven Handle Circus that morning having brunch...what did they do?....invited them to come play in the fox between the opener and them...how nice can you be?

Takin it back to the old school...sound wise that is.

The British Indian Indie Rock Invasion

Forming in 1991 out of the ashes of a little known band "General Havoc," Tjinder Singh (singer, songwriter and guitar) and current band mates (the band has been completely overhauled over the years) Anthony Saffery (sitar, keyboards and harmonium), Nick Simms(drums) and Pete Bengry (percussion) have taken a new direction to put out their next album. "Cornershop & The Double 'O' Groove Of' ft Bubbley Kaur" is a fully self funded project where the band has raised (so far) 131% of their goal by giving fans the opportunity to purchase exclusive albums, artwork, lyrics sheets, limited LP's (all signed by Cornershop)or even a dinner with the band at Dishoom Restaurant in London on PledgeMusic.com.

I first discovered Cornershop about a decade ago while out with friends in Little Five Points, Atlanta. I stumbled in Variety Playhouse
half way through their (very empty) show after convincing the door man to let me in for 5 bucks. I was blown away. The combination of the guitar, sitar and percussion mixed with disco breaks was intoxicating and was a sound that would not allow my body to remain dormant. To my knowledge they haven't toured in the U.S. since that time but there are rumbles of some hopeful stateside dates following the release of there latest record. If you have the opportunity to see them, do not miss it and you will (as C'shop says) "remain a winner."

If you want to get a party started or a "lot" crowd dancing (must have music for rocking the lot), just throw on some Cornershop and they will come...
-I am not Donald Duck

Melancholy

I kept hearing this song every morning on my morning mix station.....I really like the tone in her voice...otherwise very melancholy, yet peaceful song.
