Nightlife Agenda
Washington Post – Jan 24, 2008
At the same time Bob Dylan was recording the masterful trilogy of "Bringing it All Back Home" "Highway 61 Revisited" and "Blonde on Blonde. " (Compare that to Britney Spears who’s taken a decade to release five albums and dissolve into a tabloid freak show. ) Perhaps the most tragic example of this post-war efficiency is Charles Hardin "Buddy" Holley who managed to record a number of classic rock ‘n’ roll songs in the 23 months between recording his first hit single "That’ll Be the Day" and his death in an airplane crash near Clear Lake Iowa in 1959. Think about "h Boy" "Peggy Sue" "Crying Waiting Hoping. " And Holly’s influence goes beyond his performances: His songs were covered by the Beatles and the Rolling Stones giving the latter their first hit and Holly’s trademark eyewear is still all the rage amongst sensitive emo boys like Weezer’s Rivers Cuomo whose band had a hit with a song called "Buddy Holly. " It’s the music that takes center stage at.
Q&A: Lenny Kravitz
Rolling Stone – Jan 24, 2008
“That’s what made this aspecial record. ” Kravitz is riffing about It Is Time for a LoveRevolution which is a return to his classic-rock and soulroots and his optimistic message. Whereas his 2004 releaseBaptism was dark and introspective Revolutiontaps into his disgust over Iraq with “Back in Vietnam” but alsobrims with hope for change on cuts like “If You Want It. ” It’s beeneighteen years since he kicked off his career with Let LoveRule and Kravitz believes it’s time to spread that gospelagain. “My grandfather came from a small island in the Bahamas withno electricity” he says. “I grew up with people who struggled butthey kept an amazing attitude.
LCAL LIMELIGHT Jester Jack
Columbus Dispatch – Jan 24, 2008
(614-784-0477 ) Admission $5 to $10With the spirit of the Grateful Dead and knowledge of the music of Phish and Widespread Panicthe rock group Jester Jack is set to release a self-titled album — with a collection of songsanchored by a nimble rhythm section. Singer-guitarist Jester Jack spoke recently about his band’s sound and vision:Q What style of music do you play?A The new album sounds like rock music with some jam-band influences. Almost all our influencecomes from classic-rock artists like the Allman Brothers and James Gang but our sound reflectssomething new and unique. Q Why does your band exist?A If it weren’t for a trip to Spain for a few months our band wouldn’texist. I stopped listening to music when I was there and just read books and soaked up the culture. After a couple of months I had written some of the best songs of my life.

Mission Control: This Is Rock
GW Hatchet – GW Hatchet (subscription) – Jan 24, 2008
After listening to this song a few times you get the sense that this is a song about the effects of a record label backing a DIY indie-rock band. The rest of the album progresses with ease due to the drumming of Julian Dorio. Crowned “Best Drummer of 2007″ by Esquire magazine Dorio’s classic-rock mentality creates a dramatic touch in each song. In an interview with The Hatchet Dorio explained that he tries to emulate his heroes – Ringo Starr Mitch Mitchell and Keith Moon – using his drumming to add to the feel and melody of each track without distracting from the rest of the song. n their previous album the Whigs’ Southern roots were subdued in an attempt to make it in the rather large indie-rock world. Dorio and his bandmates take a step toward embracing their “southerness” with “Sleep Sunshine” the psychedelic country-waltz laced with beautiful harmonies and lap-steel guitar. The album is filled with other standout tracks but the one that true rock fans can take to the bank is “Already Young.
Helliar’s wake-up call
The Age – Jan 24, 2008
Not that he expects his new job will have him hitting thebottle. His fill-in stints on Nova FM’s Hughesy & Kateshow last year reignited his interest in radio. And Triple M hesays is a perfect fit for a classic rock-loving footy-obsessedbloke like him. There’s also the luxury of not replacing a much-loved ratingspowerhouse such as 2Day FM’s Wendy Harmer. (Triple M’s previousbreakfast show The Cage was third in the FM ratings whenit finished last year). “You can’t win if you’re trailing on someone’s coat-tails”Helliar says. “If you succeed it’s because you’re trailing ontheir coat-tails and if you don’t succeed well you don’t succeed.
