Shenole Latimer Look...DON'T TOUCH (A Musician's Universal Plea)

A couple of weeks ago, I had an experience that has put me on a personal crusade to educate people about musicians and their equipment.

The Sun Life Stadium in Miami was packed with about 70,000 fans enjoying one of the sporting events of the year, the Super Bowl 2010.
Super Bowl halftime shows have become an eagerly expected part of the event. After the notorious 2004 show with Janet Jackson and Justin Timberlake, the stage has been given only to “safe” rock musicians of the past. Paul McCartney, The Rolling Stones, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, and Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band performed between 2005 and 2009.… Continue

These kinds of workouts are called semi-occluded vocal tract postures. They are popular with singing techniques and with voice therapists. Their purpose are three-fold, as I have come to know them at The Vocalist Studio:

Dave Saronson New Year - New Bands!

So we are well on our way into 2010 - Happy February! - and things are cookin'. I scored a new Strat, and it's a beauty: an '09 in Daphne Blue with a matching headstock! Way Cool! It sounds amazing thru the Kendrick amp! Which, by the way, I recently sent back to Texas for general maintenance/new tubes and a modification called a 'decrescendo' that allows you to effectively switch the amp's 35 watts in half. Still real loud though! I also added a Fulltone OCD to my pedalboard.

Nicholas Payton: Live At The Village Vanguard

He found his footing in jazz through its hard-swinging main stem. But after he'd proved his hard-bop mettle, he took a fork in the road toward electric experimentalism. Now, trumpeter Nicholas Payton seems comfortable pursuing a middle ground. Hear his band play live.

The Soft Pack On World Cafe

Tired of the new-wave explosion in their hometown of San Diego, The Soft Pack's Matt Lamkin and Matty McLoughlin got their start after deciding to revive old-school grunge. Later joined by Dave Lantzman and Brian Hill, the group found a knack for writing simple and catchy tunes that hint at the New York underground and subtle '60s California surf-rock.

OK Go Fights For Its Viral Video

Damian Kulash, singer-songwriter-guitarist with OK Go, talks about the group's split with its label as the result of a label policy that kept a popular video the band made from being embedded on YouTube. "This Too Shall Pass" is a viral video that took a month to make; it displays an elaborate two-story Rube Goldberg device timed to the song.

Midlake: In Tune With Nature

"If all that grows starts to fade, starts to falter / Oh, let me inside, let me inside not to wake," Midlake's Tim Smith sings in "Acts of Man," which surrounds his meditation on man and nature with dense harmonies and the rich sounds of a folk-pop orchestra.

Voice From The Darkness: Johnny Cash's Final Record

Seven years after the death of Johnny Cash, producer Rick Rubin has selected 10 more songs among the many he produced for Cash late in the singer's life. Rock critic Ken Tucker examines the end result, the album American VI: Ain't No Grave.
