A Wally Lamb Playlist

Wally Lamb's first novel in 10 years, The Hour I First Believed, went on sale this week. It's already climbing the bestseller lists and has got people talking about many of the themes Lamb explores within the pages (watch out for an upcoming Prosecast with the author tk). There's a great extra on his author page, "The Hour I First Believed CD Playlist," that shows what songs Lamb was listening to as he wrote the book. They are in chronological order, and I've put the first 10 here -- you'll ha

They Came To Dance

You ever hear a new cd and think: "I like this...I like it a lot, but boy does it ever sound like someone else that I used to listen to..." I've always enjoyed the music of Ryan Adams...from his debut cd Heartbreaker, or his loving tribute to the Big Apple 'New York New York', but his new release Cardinology has really struck a chord. It hasn't left my CD player since last Tuesday. I'm really digging it. Listen to him and his band The Cardinals perform new tunes Fix It and Cobwebs on Letterm

NEW ALAN COHEM EXPERIENCE CD OUT ELECTION DAY (NOV. 4)

Collaborating with Brooklyn Producer Roger Greenawalt (The Pierces, Ben Kweller, Nils Lofgren) in compiling lush string and horn arrangements, vocal harmonies and thickly layered guitars to flourish clever and catchy songwriting, The Alan Cohen Experience releases his self-titled six-track EP November 4, 2008! With a studio approach reminiscent of legendary band leaders Duke Ellington, Frank Zappa, and Steely Dan, the Alan Cohen Experience conducts a variety of studio musicians to help achieve

Ben Kweller On New Album

New LP To Be Dark And Heavy Indie songster Ben Kweller has revealed in a new interview that his upcoming album 'Changing Horses' will much darker than previous efforts. Kweller earned massive acclaim for his self-titled 2006 set, which combined indie rock with a classic Americana feel. With hints of Dylan and a dash of The Band, 'Ben Kweller' was one of the more impressive songwriting debuts of recent times. New album 'Changing Horses' will apparently be a much more serious affair than the debu

The Sun Hasn’t Set On This Boy Yet - Nils Lofgren Fred and...

The Sun Hasn’t Set On This Boy Yet - Nils Lofgren Fred and I were sending a bunch of emails to each other after we saw Ben Kweller the same week. Fred found out that Ben is fan of Nils Lofgren. So decided to make this my song of the day.

NEW VETIVER EP SOON

Originally intended as a precursor to this year’s acclaimed Vetiver album‘Thing of the Past’, FatCat is pleased to finally present the simultaneous release of a companion CDEP, ‘More of the Past’, and a limited 7" single, ‘Hey Doll Baby’ (b/w ‘Miles Apart’). The album comprised a set of cover versions of songs by some of bandleader Andy Cabic’s favourite artists, offering a joyful and intriguing insight into some of the music that has inspired and informed the band. Now, here are six further son

This week in Harry’s Place Arts

Junkbox Jury is back for its regular Friday slot, bringing three new tracks from three interesting-looking bands found in the junkboxes of London’s record shops, the flotsam and jetsam of the music business as it were… but is any of it valuable salvage? Also this week, a tribute to the late great Paul Newman. Also in, news that Nils Lofgren, the bouncing foil to both Bruce Springsteen and Neil Young is, after decades of overuse and abuse, to have his hips replaced. A post-convalencence sit-dow

The New Hip

I’m sure (most) readers will join me in wishing poor old Nils Lofgren a speedy convalescence after his scheduled twin-hip replacements, made necessary by eccentric dancing and decades of antics like Exhibit A: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=su959eEFnnA Of course, there are plenty of great Nils performances to watch on YouTube, particularly the man in action with Neil Young and Bruce Springsteen, two of his more regular employers. And here he is noodling around on his Strat at Fender Frontli

Catch-up session

Gah, work getting in the way of things. How vereh tedious! But a few moments for a quick catch-up on stuff and that. Went to Soho for Mary's birthday on Friday; you know I love Soho. But on a Friday? Absolutely, falling-off-the-pavements, not-a-seat-to-be-had, rammed, which makes it not so much fun for an old woman like me who likes a sit down and has gone a wee bit DEAF due to past giggery. We ended up, again, in the Intrepid Fox, where, surprisingly, the music wasn't so loud that you couldn't

There's got to be a reality TV show in that...

The final episode... Nils gets a trampoline delivered to the hospital and after many failed attempts and much soul-searching, executes a perfect back flip. Cue a lot of weeping and hugging and a recorded message from Bruce Springsteen in which he congratulates him on his successful op and looks forward to some trademark Lofgren trampoline action with the E-Street Band in the near future...

Bruce Springsteen + Super Bowl confirmed + related Boss items

This post is a little bit late going up tonight, but I have a good explanation for that that I’ll share before we get to the main subject matter. I was wrapping up work last week, when I saw a Twitter update from acmaurer about bacon cinnamon rolls! I immediately jumped to the link, and knew that I had to make them! I sent the link to several co-workers, all of whom reacted quickly with immediate disgust. By the time I got to hanging out with my friend Pat this past weekend, I had talked to

Notes from home

Back from a quick week in Provincetown with my family (celebrating a significant birthday for my mom and her twin sister). A little odd being there with family and not spending much time writing, but good to be there and to be able to introduce my family to my favorite little place on the planet. We rented a four-bedroom house just a couple of blocks from the Fine Arts Work Center -- and if anyone reading this is ever looking for a Provincetown rental in a quiet residential neighborhood for a gr

* Another Yankee Stadium euology

from an unlikely source. Nils Lofgren, guitarist for Springsteen’s E Street band, and his wife, Amy, created this musical tribute. It’s available as a free download (along with The Star Spangled Banner), here. Some enterprising person should put this to a slide show.

Nils Lofgren’s Yankee Stadium Song

Nils Lofgren, of the E Street Band, has a gift for all Yankees fans this weekend. He is giving away free downloads of his song “Yankee Stadium” As an FYI - the song was named by his wife Amy who is a life long Yankee fan. You can read a message from Nils at his website nilslofgren.com with respect to the song and a link to download it for your archive. We are planning on playing some music on our Sunday tribute show to “The Stadium”.

Eddie Vedder and Nils Lofgren Salute Baseball With Guitars, Yearning

Baseball and rock music go together like cinnamon and applesauce. They're both so American and so goddamn entertaining, and despite the existence of Nickelback and the Washington Nationals, the best will always outshine the rest. That's why two of our greatest rock musicians have taken the time to pen some new tunes about the sport we love. First, Pearl Jam's Eddie Vedder wrote a song about the Chicago Cubs at the request of Cubs legend Ernie Banks: The track features lines like "Our heroes w

Now Pitching For The Yankees, Nils Lofgren ... Lofgren

On the heels of Eddie Vedder pledging his love for the Cubs in song, Nils Lofgren has turned his attention to Yankee Stadium, which will be razed following the season. Nils is offering "Yanke Stadium" as a free download along with two other tracks he recorded at a studio in Arizona. Lofgren explains in his liner notes for the song, that his wife Amy has been a lifelong fan of the pinstripes. "I’m a long time fan myself, especially of the mythical and mystical nature of old Yankee Stadium, whi

A song to celebrate the Stadium

Here’s a little gift for you. The great Nils Lofgren has written a song with his wife Amy called Yankee Stadium. You can get a free download here on his web site. It’s a neat little tune and clearly written with the emotion a lot of us are feeling this week. Nils, if you don’t know, is just about the best guitar player walking the face of the earth. He toured with Neil Young when he was 17 and is now a member of the mighty E Street Band. I’ve had a chance to meet him a few times and he is a
