This will be the last Christmas carol for the season, and it seems almost odd that I’ve not already added today’s selection to the series, Then Sings My Soul: The Hymns of My Youth. “O Come, All Ye Faithful” is to me the carol that most proclaims Christmas, the most essential of carols for the season. The carol comes from the Latin Adeste Fideles, a 1743 hymn by John Francis Wade for text which may date back to the 13th century. Wade was a British exile who moved to a Roman Catholic communitMusic Monday: Louder Than Words - Tick, Tick…BOOM!
This is from a musical nobody will have heard of, lol, although it was written by Jonathan Larson, who also wrote Rent, which you probably WILL have heard of. Unfortunately I couldn’t find a professional recording of this song on Youtube, but this cast is pretty good, for the most part at least. I like the lyrics of this song, they make me think… Why do we follow leaders who never lead? Why does it take catastrophe to start a revolution? If we’re so free, tell me why?

A postcard from the hanging. Strange Fruit began life as a poem by Abel Meeropol, written sometime in the mid-1930s, and eventually published in 1936 under Meeropol's pen name of Lewis Allen. Meeropol wrote Strange Fruit after seeing the infamous 1930 photo of the lynching of Thomas Shipp and Abram Smith in Marion, Indiana. Meeropol would eventually set the song to music, and Strange Fruit enjoyed a minor notoriety among the New York intelligentsia club set during the late 1930s before becominThe 2008 USSM Music Post

Hey PopWreckers, Happy New Year! Welcome to an Under Cover: New Order (for a New Year) Edition. In the spirit of a new year, new resolutions, new friends, a new president, and new world concerns, why not feature a band that is/was no stranger to artistic innovation and, well, newness– New Order! Often cited as influential to many indie bands and musicians that we all love, New Order pushed their version of 80s downer, electronica, and experimental alternative rock to memorable heights.

But we love it. I woke up this morning and got this in my inbox: When you’re one of the greatest emcees of the modern generation readying your bow from hip-hop with three albums, what do you do meanwhile? In Lupe Fiasco’s case, you simply watch a film, get invigorated, start a band, begin making not so bad post-indie punk music in a faux British accent, think of a peculiar band name (cue “Japanese Cartoon”), create a MySpace page, & upload the music. Then act like it isn’t you but ratheShe Makes a Good Point...
In my recent blog post Beyonce's 'If I were a boy' I reprinted a letter from Lisa, a reader, who wrote "Glenn, have you heard Beyonce's 'If I were a boy'? Perhaps it's a small thing, but I don't like my son hearing these lyrics. I feel bad for boys over this sort of thing." While I agree with Lisa about Beyonce's negative stereotyping of males in the song, LorMarie, a reader, also makes a good point from the other aside.

You may not know the name John Simon, but you’ve definitely heard him. As a prolific producer in the 1960s and 70s, he helmed a string of hits for acts such as Janis Joplin, Leonard Cohen, Blood, Sweat & Tears, Simon & Garfunkel, and most notably The Band, for which he was often dubbed “the sixth member.” Check out his soulful production and horn-playing on their classic first two albums. Unfortunately, his handful of solo albums faded into obscurity almost as soon as they were release |
