The Greenhornes (or . . . More Jack White?)



The Greenhornes - The end of the night.

"The band's collaboration with Holly Golightly, "There Is an End", was the theme song of Jim Jarmusch's 2005 film, Broken Flowers.

Throughout their career, the Greenhornes have toured almost constantly, only taking breaks when the musicians have worked on other projects.

Lawrence and Keeler, along with Detroit musician and producer Dave Feeny, were in the Do-Whaters, the band formed and led by Jack White of The White Stripes for Loretta Lynn's 2004 album Van Lear Rose. Lawrence and Keeler spent all of 2006 at work in The Raconteurs with Benson and White. Lawrence is also the banjo and autoharp player for the Detroit band Blanche, which also includes Feeny, and plays bass in The Dead Weather, a band that includes Alison Mosshart (The Kills), Jack White and Dean Fertita (The Waxwings). Recently, Fox, McKinney, and Olive have been playing together in a new, still-untitled band in and around Cincinnati." (Via.)

Dangermouse x Daniele Luppi x Jack White x Norah Jones + Jack White & Seasick Steve Live at SXSW 2011 + The Kills "Blood Pressures" Album Streaming + White Stripes (R.I.P.) + Ah, Hell. . .


So, first of all - I have no idea how I missed the approach of this project 5-years-in-the-making, but Brian Burton (a.k.a. DJ Danger Mouse - one of my favorite musicians alive today) teamed up with Jack White (another personal favorite) Daniele Luppi and Norah Jones to create an album, Rome, inspired by Spaghetti Westerns.  Oh and they went to Rome to get old Italian veteran musicians to record for them, rather than sampling.  Jones just sings (as opposed to writing, which White covered, - with Burton/Luppi on mastering, etc.) and if you check out the video below Jack White describes his songwriting method for this project, which was a departure from his normal methodology.


Danger Mouse & Daniele Luppi - Rome Trailer (Via.)  Can't wait til May 17th!  Every project Burton has been a part of has been dope to me; his collabo with Cee-Lo Green was my least favorite and that was still Gnarls Barkley. . .

Secondly, moment of silence: R.I.P. White Stripes.  Click here to read an article about them by author Chuck Klosterman.  Although not unexpected, I still consider it a shame - even if everybody hates on Meg White's timekeeping.  Under Great White Northern Lights was pretty incredibly dope in my book.  (And back on just Jack, but still talking movies, so was It Might Get Loud - though I don't particularly care for U2/The Edge.)

Third, Jack White's Third Man Records has a pop-up mobile record store:

Oh, and you should definitely check out the Meyrin Fields EP by the Broken Bells (Brian Burton x James Mercer of The Shins) as well.  Get it here.

Finally, I'm still waiting on that Jack White X Jay-Z collabo. . .

Windmills "As Above, So Below" Album Review

UPDATE 2011.03.27 8:32 PM EST
Framework (emcee and DJ formerly of the Vermont hip hop crew The Loyalists) & Rex Rey (producer, multi-instrumentalist from Los Angeles) got together and formed Windmills in March of 2010 after answering a Craigslist posting. Combining their finely tuned skills, Rex & Frame finished their debut album, "As Above So Below" a year later.


 
First off, this is an album that merits multiple listens.  (Click here to check out As Above So Below on Windmills' SoundCloud.)  Samples are tastefully sprinkled throughout with several grouped in the first track that serve to introduce the theme that the mainstream is mediocre and people are no longer encouraged to pursue excellence.  This message from Windmills is cemented by track #09 "Reborn of Thought"  - a complex lyrically-tight song with a message from the underground for the mainstream, which also features clutch scratching of hip-hop samples.  Scratching and samples don't overpower the listener though.  Oh and the samples that are used aren't necessarily those you would expect to hear in rap, as you can see from the video posted below that, at least for me, recalls Don Quijote tilting at windmills. 


Noel Harrison - The Windmills Of Your Mind [Live Performance].  "The Windmills Of Your Mind" Wiki here.

Track #07 "Outside My WIndow" has a concept that is pretty cool; take another look at the title of the song for a clue.  Track #10 "Customer Service" has a chorus that is different and while that may turn some off, it's another song with an ill concept.  Be sure, before you abandon this album to the annals of your mp3 player's Shuffle, that you check out track #11 "Small Town Better Blues" where Windmill goes in the hardest with an emotional flow and lyrics that can't be ignored.

Oh and download the whole album here until March 28th, 2011.  Peace, peace y'all.  One Love.

Produced by Rex Rey.

Bad, YouTube quality on this live show, but you get the idea of the drop dopeness.  Or you can scroll down and stream this on his website (or head over to his Facebook page to check it out on his Band Page.)  Pretty dirty.  I dig it.  Hope the rest of the new release is as massive.

Rusko - Everyday (Netsky Remix) (Jakwob @ Beyond Wonderland 2011) (Via.)

Check out the Netsky Remix of Rusko’s new single, Everyday, to be released April 5th, 2011. It’s been nearly a year since the explosion of Rusko’s debut album on O.M.G.!

Netsky is one of the most talented young guns in the drum + bass. Netsky won “Best Upcoming Producer” at the Drum + Bass Arena Awards a few short months after his first release. Predominantly known for his liquid funk style, Netsky truly lives up to his reputation in his remix of Everyday.

Everyday is out April 5th, 2011, with remixes by Original Sin and DJ Q, so for now throw on the Netsky remix, and turn it up loud.

"I think of poets as outlaw visionaries in a way." - Jim Jarmusch (The Man With The Iron Fist - Film Update #3)


The Abbot of Wu-Tang Clan, RZA, now an auteur (as you may know if you keep up with The People's Poseur) tweeted a little over an hour ago - "just another day editing, watching my vision of Man With the Iron Fist come to life. Bong!"
Bong! Bong, y'all!  With RZA putting in 14 hour days filming The Man With the Iron Fist (2011) in China and bankable Hollywood actors like Russell Crowe signing on this movie is going to be insane.  Eli Roth (writer/director of the gory Hostel movies and the "Bear Jew" from Inglorious Basterds), Quentin Tarantino (the RZA's mentor in the ways of filmmaking), and the rest of that crew are on board as well.  Roth helped RZA re-do his original script as I've previously mentioned; he described it along the lines of a martial arts spaghetti western with a hip hop sensibility.  I personally cannot wait.

Read the earlier posts for more information about the film.  Peace y'all.
