Ep.244 - Spinal Tap @ Wembley Stadium - London,England  

July 1st, 2009

Molly catches Spinal Tap on their one night world tour and talks with fans about the show

Spinal Tap’s One Night World tour began and ended at Wembley Arena Tuesday June 30th. Fans travelled from all over the UK and the world for this monumental event that saw the likes of Michael McKean, Christopher Guest, and Harry Shearer come back from the dead as David St. Hubbins, Nigel Tufnel, and Derek Smalls respectively.

Few fans of the 1984 film ‘This Is Spinal Tap’ realize that the ‘band’ actually does it live in every sense of the word. Christopher Guest, director of such legendary cult classics as ‘Best in Show’ and ‘Waiting for Guffman’, was shredding on lead guitar while Shearer aka Ned Flanders was busting out fat bass lines. Both Guest and Shearer harmonized perfectly with frontman Michael McKean proving there is nothing fake about this fake band.

I, unfortunately, was only able to catch the show from Split Decision on, but seeing Eric Clapton bust out Voodoo Child and Cocaine was epic. Worth the wait to get in.

Ep.242 - Major Lazer Day 2009 - Los Angeles, CA  

June 30th, 2009

Lorn, Bryan, Kimberly, Preston, and the rest of the YTC crew spend a day rocking out to Major Lazer. First at a pool party hosted by DimMak at the luxurious Standard Hotel in downtown Los Angeles and then at the Electric Daisy Carnival.

We had heard rumors that Diplo and the Major Lazer crew would be in the house.  They were right!

The Standard was a crackin! DimMak no doubt lived up to their rep on this one!

Unfortunately the DimMak rooftop pool party had to end.  But we were on our way to EDC, so there was still tons of adventure to be had!

Santigold was in the house for the Major Lazer set and had no problem clowning around.

NEW SCION RELEASE: Grand Puba - “Get It” Remixes  

June 30th, 2009

Check out this new SCION release! - Click to Download


http://www.preemtiv.com/emails/grand/index.html

Constantly pushing towards the future, Scion A/V’s latest remix project takes champion microphone master Grand Puba’s unique vocal tones and hands the production keys to four red hot Dubstep producers.  

West London native Caspa toys with listeners ears on his 808 and keys drenched “80Eighties Remix.”  The delicious blend of smooth sounds and ethereal tempo (shall we call it 70 or 140 BPM?) makes this one a perfect come-down soundtrack.

Toddla T is the biggest dancehall hitmaker in England, and this tour-de-force remix shows why.  Starting at an eminently mixable 108 BPM and shifting midway to a screaming 130 BPM, the whiz kid from Sheffield gives the DJs a big gun for their sets. BOOOOOM!

Reso, one of the UK scene’s up-and-comers, fuses the flowing moods of liquid D&B with accomplished glitch production techniques on his powerful 130 BPM take on “Get It.”  With big support from BBC Radio 1 and a heavy touring schedule, expect big things from the talented 25-year old.

The West Coast D&B menace and Photek disciple known as Infiltrata breaks out his secret 12th Planet identity for a brutal 140 BPM beatdown that sees the line between Drum & Bass and Dubstep and tramples all over it.  Protect Ya Neck!
 
Also, make sure and pick up Grand Puba’s recently released, critically-acclaimed solo projectRetroactive”, available now on all major online retailers.

Ep.238 - Elvis Costello @ Amoeba Music - Hollywood, CA  

June 23rd, 2009

Lorn catches Elvis Costello at a special in store performance at Amoeba Music in Hollywood CA and gets fan reviews of the show, and also has a chance to chat with Jim Lauderdale.

This was my first time really listening to Elvis Costello, and I was impressed. He has an amazing stage presence that can only come with experience. He knows how to work a crowd and entertain even when he isn’t playing. I heard a lot of people talking about how they wished he didn’t play so many Bluegrass tunes, but I personally thought it was great. The backing band was also fantastic, and Elvis is lucky to have those dudes rolling with him (Jim Lauderdale on acoustic guitar and Mike Compton on mandolin).

Ep.237 - Fleetwood Mac @ Sommet Center - Nashville, TN  

June 23rd, 2009

Chrystal sees Fleetwood Mac at the Sommet Center and gathers reviews from audience members after the show.

I’m so happy that I got to see Fleetwood Mac live, and I had killer seats! Seeing Stevie that close up was a dream come true. Very inspirational! I want to be a gypsy rock goddess too.

Like many twenty-somethings of today, I was raised on Fleetwood Mac. Mac was our soundtrack on nearly every family car trip. When I was around 6 or 7, we would gather in the living room and listen to records, and I’d dance around. “Rumours” was always a favorite.

 

When I moved to LA, my friend/co-worker, Ray, gave me Stevie’s “Enchanted” collection and I’ve been obsessed ever since. Those CDs are always on stand-by at home and in my car. “After the Glitter Fades,” is a karaoke staple for me. I wish they would have played that the other night at the Sommet Center, but it’s all good.

 

I loved the whole evening. Each member had their share of the solo spotlight. The backup singers were fantastic, and the band was so thankful for the response Nashville gave them.

Stevie mentioned that Michelle Branch and Sheryl Crow where in the audience. Sheryl was at Eddie Vedder the night before as well. She must be on the YTC schedule J

The stage set consisted of lighting/video panels that changed direction and angles throughout the show. Modern, but subtle, so it didn’t compete or take away from the band. The set list was packed with hit after hit. Each song was better than the last.

Another great show at the Sommet! I love summer!
