The Raconteurs


The Raconteurs - Consolers of the Lonely (2008)

I don't think this needs an introduction so here's an excerpt from the Wikipedia page about the song "Baker Street" by Gerry Rafferty

"Baker Street" is a song by Gerry Rafferty written in 1978. It was his first release following the legal battles surrounding the separation of the band Stealers Wheel. Rafferty was supposedly banned from the recording studio after the 1975 break up for a period of three years while the lawyers ironed out the disputes with the band's recording contract remaining obligations. The song was featured on his second solo album City to City and released as the first of three singles, marketed primarily to Adult Contemporary radio. The saxophone hook on the original was played by Raphael Ravenscroft (contrary to popular belief, it was not played by UK quiz show host Bob Holness) and the guitar solo was played by Hugh Burns. The guitar solo in the song incorporates a motif inspired by a pair of seagulls accidentally trapped in the studio during recording.

Spiral Chord

I caught this video today by the band Spiral Chord for their song "Distance to Substance" and I really love it. They're a hardcore punk band from Japan and they seem pretty crazy if this video is any evidence of their life. It was shot by Keiichi Nitta a former assistant to Terry Richardson but in my opinion the student has become the master.

KEXP video round up

Oh Seattle. I know that New York is a wonderful place, full of eloquent and well-cultured people (apparently, according to the podcast count), but my native Northwest is a close second. Here, from the only radio station I trust, KEXP does a music video round up to prepare for the over-hyped SXSW (I am mostly jealous that I am not going...).

He Man Woman Haters Podcast - New York vs. The World

He Men: Never on schedule, always on time.

For too long the battle has raged behind the closed doors of the He Men. Those from New York charge that they bring more to the He Table because of their proximity to arts and culture in the city that never sleeps. Those from else where contend that they have the bigger contribution to the He Feast because they're not pretentious, snobby assholes from New York. And thus the battle raged.

It's time to settle this once and for all.

There are two episodes to the latest podcast. One podcast is all music from the New York faction (Jedreski, J Bell, Hathaway, Whatevs, Ethman, and HMZ). One podcast is all music from the rest of the U.S. (Victor 9000, Mr. Poop, Korn, Adil, and Manny)

You'll notice in the sidebar there is a polling widget. This will be up for until midnight on March 30th and will determine once and for all from the He-mmunity which deserves the rightful title.

The whole thing can be downloaded directly via this link (download New York's Mix and download America's Mix).

Download the individual tracks as a ZIP file via this link (Both Mixes as a ZIP File).
