Kids Play the Strangest Things – “Sugar Chile” Robinson
So, I had the unbelievable pleasure of visiting the Motown Museum this past weekend (full report t/k). Not to give too much away, but at one point on the tour I was reminded of the song “Caldonia,” specifically the famous version by Louis Jordan with his signature squawk of “Cal-dohhhh-nia!” But upon looking through the [...]

Friday Fix: Peter Bjorn & John, Dan Deacon, and Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Peter Bjorn & John – “I Want You!” (from Living Thing) [Audio clip: view full post to listen] No tambourine. I distinctly remember that from an interview a few years back with Björn Yttling about Writer’s Block and the smashing success of “Young Folks”: as a band, they made a conscious decision to avoid the [...]

You’re Losing Right – Bob Dylan in a Dream by Fancy Dan
Part-time Post-Rockist contributor, full-time humdinger folksinger country stroller rock and roller, Fancy Dan posted a great little piece of writing on his tumblr blog, A Whole Lotta Fancy Going On, about a dream he had about Bob Dylan. I think it’s one of the best pieces of writing I’ve read in awhile, and so Fancy [...]
Friday Fix: Upcoming Spring Releases to Get Crazy Excited About (if you’re me, at least)
Cryptacize Cryptacize – “Blue Tears” from the upcoming Mythomania [Audio clip: view full post to listen] I’m disappointed in myself personally that I only just started listening to Cryptacize’s 2008 release Dig That Treasure. Singer/guitarist Nedelle Torrisi’s solo album From the Lion’s Mouth is one of my all-time favorite albums by a female artist. I [...]
