SOUND SELECTOR (MIXES)

Some sons are proud of their mama’s meatballs. Well, my mom liked take-out more than meatballs (to be honest, I grew to love her ground chicken burgers), but she always had great taste in music. Every cut on this mix was something I got from my mom, and they all appeared on […]

BANDS & BEATS, Brand Neu Stax, GOING OUT, In Town (Nite-Life Nudge), Neu Music Review, VIEWS & REVIEWS

When I first listened to Melbourne, Australia’s Cut Copy, I was interested but not that impressed. I mean, I didn’t trash Bright Like Neon Love, but it didn’t exactly make me glow either, nor did I write a glowing review for XLR8S (click this for the whole article: xlr8r-electropop1.jpg). Part of a larger review of […]

I put together a fun line-up for this year’s Keyboard issue! First, a guy who deserves his own cover story, Daryl Hall. Next, we’ve got newcomer Frank Sacramone from that crazy instrumental prog band, Bushwhack. Electronica pioneer Paul Humphreys from OMD. Then we’ve got Fred Mandel, the guy who not only played for Elton John, […]

BANDS & BEATS, Brand Neu Stax, Neu Music Review, VIEWS & REVIEWS

One of the craziest sets I ever saw was Bjork at Coachella, 2002. Aside from some of her “hits” she got to venture into the more challenging, but also more astounding aspect of her sound. The computorized blips and ticks represented the threshold of modern music, but with an unbelievable cover of the Beatles,’ “Blue […]

I don’t know why, but since they changed editors, I haven’t pitched anything to GOLDMINE, but I’ll remind myself to reach out again. In the meantime, I’ll post a few of my reviews, this one being a two-fer. First there’s Motown’s Temptations comp,, Psychedelic Soul, which features the Temps most “out-there” grooves, most produced […]
