2012-01-16 > 2012-02-03 semaine du sound week van de klank


O oh it's that dishy Tomoko Sauvage … 2012-01-16 > 2012-02-03, depending on which part of the planet you call home, it's la Semaine du Son / the Sound(s) Week. In France on January 22-29 (except Paris which debuts January 16-21), they're organising the 9th edition. In Brussels (January 23-29) and Geneva (Genève, February 1-3) it will be the second edition, while Montréal + Québec seem to have dropped out after their second edition last year? In any case, the 'mother' site http://www.lasemaineduson.org/ isn't practical at all, and the Belgian site could be a tad more handy too. Hey and there'll be something called "Aimez-vous Tati?", while Triple Deck - see my Kapotski post earlier on - will perform in Brussels too: http://lasemaineduson.be/nl/triple-deck/

muscle shoals' fame studios

Famestudios

After 2008's magnificent "Take Me To The River: A Southern Soul Story 1961-1977" 3cd v/a compilation (KENTBOX10) - a must in any collection - Kent come up trumps again with "The Fame Studio Story 1961-1973 Home Of The Muscle Shoals Sound" (KENTBOX12 v/a 3cd, 2011-11). Not an unmistakeable classic, this time around, but filled to the brim with magnificent soul all the same. And quite a few groovy numbers, as you can witness here. It also features Bobby Marchan's "Funny style" - hear it & read more on him here (in a future post). Meanwhile, for more on the Florence Alabama Music Enterprises over at Muscle Shoals:

where are you from?

Media_httpnowagainrec_xtzew

The "Where Are You From? (Christophe Lemaire And Now-Again Records Present A Series Of Global Psychedelic Rock, Funk And Folk Grooves. 16 Tracks From 1968 Until The Present Day)" v/a cd on Now-Again (NA 5073, 2011) has been compiled by Christophe Lemaire, a Frenchman who has worked for Lacoste (dig their brilliant L!VE! collection) and who has now replaced Jean-Paul Gaultier at Hermès … Great to see gypsy hippie Damon end up in the hands of Paris' beau monde and other filthy rich, too ;-

Bonus book for those of you wanting to get a degree or into waxing academical: http://www.ashgate.com/default.aspx?page=637&calctitle=1&pageSubject=568&pagecount=5&title_id=8700&edition_id=12010

danger ennio : diabolik morricone

Accompanying my "Danger: Diabolik" post … here's four excerpts from Ennio Morricone's soundtrack (1967 / 1968). Hey and did you know that the Beastie Boys … and that Mike Patton really digs

adderley's zodiac 1 + 2

And my name is Cannonball … Adderley's 1972 take on the zodiac - "Soul Zodiac" - had already been reissued on Stateside / EMI in 2008. 1974's reinterpretation - "Love, Sex And The Zodiac" - is less psychedelic or free and lots funkier. It's said to have been recorded in 1970 but I find it hard to believe it hasn't gotten some post-production later on. Other sources say it's from 1973 and I think they're right. Anyhoo, BGP have just reissued the latter album in their midprice-ish "Funk & Jazz Classics" series (2011-08, CDBGPM 235). Rick Holmes - a dj, apparently - is the narrator on both albums.
