I was only introduced to Kuti's music a few months ago and instantly became a big fan. He has one of the most hard fought lives of any artist in history, and you can hear that in his voice in this interview. It was recorded after he was released from an 18 month stint in Nigerian prison. His crime? The government claimed "currency smuggling" but it was more likely because he was heading to LA to play a show at the Hollywood Bowl.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.kcrw.com/music/programs/mb/mb860618fela_kuti">Link To Interview</a>Dannyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12436394353990157997noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34501828.post-6323469083973175022009-01-29T13:58:00.000-08:002009-01-29T14:04:17.693-08:00Phantom Planet - DroppedTo be honest, I haven't really thought about <span style="font-weight:bold;">Phantom Planet</span> in a long time until I saw this awesome video over at <a href="http://music.todaysbigthing.com/2009/01/29">Today's Big Thing</a>, but now I'm curious to hear more.

Enjoy these two music videos that he directed. The <span style="font-weight:bold;">Ween</span> one, as far as I know, was a labor of love, not an official release, and the <span style="font-weight:bold;">Death Cab</span> one was for a <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Death-Cab-Cutie-Directions/dp/B000EGDAR0">DVD</a> that they released. But official or not, Schrab's unique touch is all over these things. Everything here is lovingling handmade and endlessly fussed over, which are at least two of the many reasons these videos are so amazing.

It's been going on for 6 years or so, since I first discovered <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Nilsson-Schmilsson-Harry/dp/B000159ELA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=music&qid=1224716155&sr=8-1">Nilsson Schmilsson </a>in the dollar bin at Ameoba. The deeper you get into Nilsson's music & mythology (and the two are almost inseparable) the more you appriciate the post-Lost Weekend output less as <span style="font-style:italic;">just</span> artifacts from a crazy man's career and more as someone writing music for an audience of his friends and devout fans. Usually, I'd say that's a bad thing, but since I believe EVERYONE should be a devout fan of this guy, Harry is the exception that proves the rule.<br /><br />There's a lot of weirdness on this album, but underneath it all is a master songwriter who is still comfortable exploring the very fringes of his craft. Part of what makes this album so amazing is that at any second Harry could go off the edge completely, but somehow he never does, even as far out as he goes. But maybe I'm painting a too inaccessible picture of this album, after all there are plenty of songs that are just plain easy on the ears, and those also happen to be my favorites. Below grab <span style="font-weight:bold;">I'll Take A Tango</span>, <span style="font-weight:bold;">Something True</span>, and <span style="font-weight:bold;">(Thursday) Here's Why I Did Not Go To Work Today</span>.

This one is particularly brilliant. <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Live-at-Lighthouse-Grant-Green/dp/B000006DGG">Live at the Lighthouse</a>, like everything after '69, is very different from Green's early Blue Note albums. The bebop sound has been replaced with funk, but Green is still Green wherever he hangs his hat. Every song on the album finds him digging in with profound results. The album alternates between jumpy numbers and slow jams throughout. My personal favorite from the latter category is <span style="font-weight:bold;">Betcha By Golly Wow</span>, which I have posted below.<br /><br /><a href="https://www.yousendit.com/download/Y2orakl1Uzd3TGhjR0E9PQ">Betcha By Golly Wow</a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Live-at-Lighthouse-Grant-Green/dp/B000006DGG">Amazon Link</a>Dannyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12436394353990157997noreply@blogger.com0
