Playlist 26.09.2011: Nirvana, Miles Davis, Seaweed

How do you celebrate the 20th anniversary of Nirvana's Nevermind? Well, by playing a few tracks of that deluxe re-issue that was released last week. To be specific: three versions of the same song just to show how it evolved during the course of the creative process. From rehearsal to the final version. Pretty cool. And we played a nice live track recorded in Amsterdam back in 1991. Next week is also another 'anniversary'; it's 20 years ago that the legendary Miles Davis passed away. We payed a little tribute to the man on Tegentonen this week.

Besides that, there were classics from The Ventures, Hot Snakes and an unreleased Smiths-song that you will not even find on that terribly overpriced boxset that is coming out next month.

Playlist 26.08.2011: Seaweed, Mogwai, Feelies, Lou Reed

A couple of really cool new tracks by Mogwai (they have a new EP on the way) and the mighty Seaweed (first new music in a loooooooooooooooooooong time) were last nights cream of the crop. As always there was a lot of room for (semi-)classics from Lou Reed, Ramones & Youth Brigade. I squeezed in a new Bohren & Der Club Of Gore-track too. Their new EP (with Mike Patton as guestsinger) is extremely nice.

I'm ending off these ramblings with a nice liveversion of The Feelies' Nobody Knows, one of the standout tracks from their new record Here Before. Watch it, you will not regret it. And check out the playlist below.

Playlist 30.07.2011: Charles Bradley, Hot Snakes, The Men, Ramones, Lee Dorsey

Good news for all you Hot Snakes-fans. The band is getting back together for the ATP-festival this december. And there's a good chance at a few more shows! Gave me a good excuse to play a track from their debut-album on Tegentonen.

Sure, I brought new music too. Charles Bradley for instance. His rendition of Nirvana's Stay Away is probably one of the best covers I've heard in a long time. More good news? It's a free download over at Spin Magazine, called Newermind. I've included the downloadlink to the full album in the playlist. If you're just interested in this song, listen to it below:

Charles Bradley & The Menahan Street Band - Stay Away

Some sad news last week: singer Amy Winehouse died. Tremendous talent, troubled personal life. I played a nice version of an old Phil Spector-song as a small tribute.

Warpaint have a new video for their song Warpaint. It's pretty cool actually, so cool I've posted the link below. Enjoy the video, enjoy the playlist and I'll see you back here in about three weeks!

Playlist 16.07.2011: The Men, Graveyard, Violent Femmes, Dyke & The Blazers

Apologies for the sloppy show yesterday. Don't know if it was the holidays or the extremely shitty weather that caused it, but damn, Tegentonen sure had better moments. At least the music was great. Some gems in the shape of Dyke & The Blazers (this particular song was used by The Heavy on their single How You Like Me Now).

I also played Not Bitter, But Bored by Johnny Panic & The River Of Dreams. Doesn't ring a bell? Well, this was guitarist Alain Whyte's band when he wasn't playing with Morrissey. This song was recorded in the late nineties. Morrissey liked it and wanted to use it. The lyrics and title were altered and the song became one of Morrisseys biggest hits: Irish Blood, English Heart.

Another gem we played was an early version of Bruce Springsteens Born In The USA. Recored during the time The Boss was working on Nebraska, so quite a different take on this song.

Was there any new material? Sure, how about brand new stuff from The Men, Graveyard, Warpaint & Mogwai?!

Here's hoping for better shows. And better weather, because the summer here is more like the fall at the moment.

Playlist 25.06.2011: A Tribe Called Quest, Guitar Wolf, Black Lips, Pat Bowie

If I look on my calendar I see that the summer started last week. If I look out of my window however, I could swear it's the fall. After an early dry spell in april, it's been raining for most of the time over here. So, no Summertime to open the first episode of this summer, but some Electric Wizard. British band, they know all about rain over there. Seemed like a fitting opener.

It was a nice show yesterday; new music from the likes of Black Lips, The Feelies, Kitty, Daisy & Lewis and Guitar Wolf. I threw in a couple of classics from Pat Bowie, Skatalites and A Tribe Called Quest. About the latter, Michael Rapaport made a fantastic documentary about these guys called Beats, Rhymes & Life: The Travels Of A Tribe Called Quest. Watched it yesterday and was really impressed. One of the best musicfilms I've seen in recent years.
