With the whole country facing winter chills, I thought I’d focus this playlist on some jawns to keep you warm: love songs. Been a minute since last we heard from Q-Tip but damn if the wait wasn’t worth it. The Renaissance is a throwback to old ATCQ without being maudlin. With most of the production […]
Disney’s tragic kingdom
The Disney corporation is a piss-poor parent. While it may be responsible for some of the finest keep-your-kids-busy-for-an-hour films ever made, it has done a reprehensible job of raising up its own young stars. If any real-life parents had Disney’s track record, social services would be on their asses before you could holler “High School […]
Britney one more time
Can we give credit where credit is, if not due, then at least feasible? Britney Spears’ recent single, “Womanizer,” has jumped from #96 to #1 on the Billboard Hot 100. Given that a few months ago we might have given her back-pats just for putting on pants, and since no other song has ever made […]
Brian’s band
By Bev Schellenberg Sunday, September 21st, I accepted two awards on behalf of my brother, Brian Jaundrew, at the Victoria Rock & Roll Music Hall of Fame award ceremony. Brian chose not to attend. Dave Kissinger, a former guitarist of The Regents, contacted me through Facebook a few months ago. He explained that The Regents, […]
Little Ms. Cobain celebrates a birthday
Frances Bean Cobain, daughter of the late Kurt Cobain, recently decided to throw herself a “Suicidal Sixteen” birthday party. Now look, I’m all for themed parties, and if any other teenage girl planned this macabre festivus, I suppose we’d just shake our heads and mutter something about kids today before returning to our “Murder She […]
And all whose jazz?
By Frank Moher NEW ORLEANS — Diana Krall played the annual Jazz Festival in this most congenial of American cities on the weekend, a festival that also featured such stalwarts of the form as Allen Toussaint, Irma Thomas, Deacon John, and the Rebirth Brass Band. Mind you, it also featured such distinctly non-jazz acts as […]
Don’t let the music play
By Frank Moher Until I attended the recent CRTC hearing in Vancouver, I had no idea how much time is spent deciding which sort of music serves the greater public good: Triple A, smooth jazz, adult urban, or alternative rock. Or world beat, or indie, or oldies, or R&B;, or active AC, or traditional AC, […]
Summer-is-so-over playlist
By guest blogger Sandeep Chauhan Summer may be over, but we can pretend that it’s not. The last part of our playlist (see parts 1 and 2) is a mixed bag — booty shakers, quiet storms, a new burner from the Wu, and something for the kids. Cause BoB is always about the kids. So […]
Waxing musical
The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun. Ecclesiastes,1:9 While the media on which audio is recorded have changed over time, the signal recorded on them has not, other than maybe some […]
Summer Playlist, Part 2
By Sandeep Chauhan I miss cassette tapes. I miss popping them in and out of my walkman, I miss the hiss they make as the tape unwinds from beginning to end, I miss their finiteness. Mp3 players are cool, but with so much choice it gets overwhelming. Part two of the summer playlist is dedicated […]
