It’s now online. Watch the My Morning Jacket frontman do his thing, plus The Black Angels.
Thanks Stereogum, thanks Consequence of Sound!
This is cool. The fan who shot the footage of Pearl Jam & Co. in Dallas the other night has now put the whole performance online.
Dig it!!
On November 25 the late great jazz pianist Thelonious Monk will have an album released, Paris 1969, which was recorded at the Salle Pleyel concert hall in Paris on December 15, 1969.
Listen now at NPR.
At the Classic Grand in Glascow last Sunday (November 10, 2013) Savages covered this classic by Suicide. The recording isn’t the greatest and the video is a bit dark but there’s an excitement in this performance. I love it.
Original “Dream Baby Dream” by Suicide, released in 1979.
Last night at Webster Hall in New York Johnny Marr and Andy Rourke, once of the Smith’s, had a bit of a reunion performing “Please, Please, Please Let Me Get What I Want,” which Marr and his band played on “Late Night with Jimmy Fallon” Friday night.
Thanks Consequence of Sound and doorsixteen on Instagram!
These give a sense of what the Paris shows were like. I dig “Pay In Blood” especially.
“Pay In Blood,” at the Grand Rex in Paris, Nov. 12, 2013.
“Blowin’ in the Wind,” at the Grand Rex in Paris, Nov. 13, 2013.
And another fan’s video:
“Love Sick,” at the Grand Rex in Paris, Nov. 13, 2013.
“All ALong the Watchtower” at the Grand Rex in Paris, Nov. 14, 2013.
Johnny Marr performed “Please, Please, Please Let Me Get What I Want” on “Late Night with Jimmy Fallon” Friday night. This is a beautiful version.
This new one, “Generate! Generate!,” off Marr’s album,The Messenger is pretty good. It’s growing on me. Cool guitar.
