Madeline Babuka Black’s earliest Slippers material, written while she was working as a nanny in New York City, was made with kids and adults in mind. The solo project’s debut EP, Here’s Some Slippers, was spiritually aligned with the educational yet existential songwriting They Might Be Giants produced during their stint as a children’s music act in the ’00s: Its slivers of power pop mirrored a child’s insatiable curiosity, posing questions like, “How many people’s photos am I in?”, “Why’s my monkey always cryin’?”, and what if shirts and pants could fall in love? Since enrolling in the California Institute…
It is the concert that in 1996 transformed a battle for human rights that was barely covered by the mass media into a cultural event of global significance. Born from an idea by Adam Yauch of the Beastie Boys, the Tibetan Freedom Concert in San Francisco brought together great names from rock and hip hop in a line-up that would be the envy of any festival: Rage Against the Machine, Smashing Pumpkins, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Björk, A Tribe Called Quest, Foo Fighters, Sonic Youth, Beck, Pavement, De La Soul, Fugees, John Lee Hooker, Yoko Ono, Cibo Matto, Biz Markie…

Picture a mobster at an Italian café in Providence, Rhode Island, on an ordinary August day in 1955. It would be the last day for George “Tiger” Balletto, who was shot in the back of the head with just an orangeade and vodka as witness—police, The Newport Daily News reported, “said they have found no one who admits having been present.” This was Deer Tick’s hometown back in the days of Raymond L.S. Patriarca, “the old man with bullet tips for eyes,” a New England mobster whose cigarette front business was called Coin-O-Matic.Deer Tick lead singer and guitarist John McCauley…
The members of Pond are allergic to staying still. Since 2008, the Australian psych-rock quintet has released 12 albums (11 studio, one live), plus another 15 between Nick Allbrook, Jay Watson, and Joe Ryan’s solo projects. Watson and Ryan have also spent years in the Tame Impala touring orbit (Allbrook, too, from 2008 to 2013). But for all of that motion, Pond occupy a surprisingly stagnant place in modern psychedelia. While peers have pushed the genre toward radio-ready house-pop or dubiously eccentric experiments, Pond remain tethered to the sound that produced their last true breakout. Still their most popular song…
If it’s nearly impossible to define jazz, Miles Davis, perhaps inadvertently, gave it a shot in 1956. The context was mundane: His band was fulfilling Davis’ obligations to Prestige, recording several sides’ worth of music that the indie would release mostly over four albums—Cookin’, Relaxin’, Workin’, and Steamin’—while the trumpeter moved on to a bigger deal and wider audience at Columbia. Those recordings, plus another session featuring Sonny Rollins in John Coltrane’s place on saxophone, are chronicled in a new box set from Craft recordings, assembled to celebrate Davis’ centennial.In the course of those two tossed-off sessions, Davis and his…
«Non sono un nostalgico», dice Alioscia in collegamento da Londra davanti alla bow window di casa sua. «Ho fatto talmente tante cose importanti per me nel mio percorso che non sono legato a un momento particolare. Ma all’uscita di Sempre più vicini abbiamo capito che per tante persone eravamo stati importanti. Anche lavorando alla ristampa ci siamo resi conto che ha contato molto per tantissime persone che poi hanno lavorato con la musica ma anche con la comunicazione, la grafica, le arti visive. È stato un input di creatività e di riflessione». E allora i Casino Royale hanno deciso di fare…
