: Falling Out of Love

http://rocknrollscientist.blogspot.com/2006/09/falling-out-of-love.html

Falling Out of Love. Lennon. His first solo album, "Into the Sun" was kind of a freeform audio pastiche. There was lots going on with electronic elements, guest artists, experimentation, and varied instrumentation. But the underlying current was still good pop music. So, eight years later, he's finally releasing a new album. This time he's on Capitol Records, and the title is "Friendly Fire." It comes out on October 3rd. Okay, so check out this track from Lennon's new album. It's called ". Whitney Museum...

: Business Casual

http://rocknrollscientist.blogspot.com/2006/11/business-casual.html

Yeah, I know. It's been awhile. I'm taking a hiatus from rocknrollscientist. Work's been busy, and therefore I can't update much while at the office. Plus that means that when I'm not at the office, I'm taking full advantage of my time away. Full advantage means I'm not sitting at home on the couch typing things here. But you can't get to the blogs unless you have a MySpace login. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Fabulous Ruins of Detroit. Pink Is the New Blog. Seat of the Revolution.

: Three Button Hand-Me-Down

http://rocknrollscientist.blogspot.com/2006/09/three-button-hand-me-down.html

The Nice Boys are from Portland, Oregon. They sprang from the ashes of the tragically-cut-short power pop/punk band The Exploding Hearts. And just like EH, these Nice Boys. Play rock n roll. And damn, do they do it well. This shit is so full of clever hooks. Like the bastard sons of the Faces, Sweet, Nick Lowe, and Marc Bolan, they bring us power pop so catchy and so good. You can check out the band's MySpace page and listen to a few tracks. The Nice Boys are playing the. Fabulous Ruins of Detroit.

: She Said She Wanted Something She Could Recognize, Something She Could Feel

http://rocknrollscientist.blogspot.com/2006/09/she-said-she-wanted-something-she-could.html

She Said She Wanted Something She Could Recognize, Something She Could Feel. Last Wednesday night, I was sitting at the bar at the Garden Bowl in Midtown Detroit. I was waiting for the Terrible Twos to go onstage upstairs in the Magic Stick. It's all but a memory.they broke up, too. Murder City Devils: done. Most of the acts that helped build this late '90s scene in Detroit are completely different than what they once were. Bands grow and evolve, and often the fans can't do the same.

: Fifteen, Part 1

http://rocknrollscientist.blogspot.com/2006/09/fifteen-part-1.html

Fifteen, Part 1. I had high hopes for this record. When I first heard a couple tracks, I thought it sounded like this Gang of Four/Talking Heads on meth/Magazine kinda sound that's been popular for a couple years. And that's what it is, but too much so. Forward Russia sound like a carbon copy of Bloc Party. Add a little bit of The Editors in there whilie you're at it. What if Bloc Party sounded just a little bit edgier? And see what you think. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Fabulous Ruins of Detroit.

: The Emperor's Soundtrack

http://rocknrollscientist.blogspot.com/2006/09/emperors-soundtrack.html

Despite the connections to West and Jay Z, there is no obvious influence to Fiasco's sound, it is all his own. Especially the lyrics which come from his Islam-derived ethics, respect for women, and increasing love/hate for mainstream hip hop. He even takes Jay Z to task for rapping about praying to (mob boss) John Gotti instead of God. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Fabulous Ruins of Detroit. Pink Is the New Blog.

: Papillon de Madame

http://rocknrollscientist.blogspot.com/2006/09/papillon-de-madame.html

It's been a few weeks now, and I've been listening to this CD on and off, and I really like it. Singer-songwriter-ish vocals and lyrics with minimal electro beats. Lots of bleeps and bloops. But it isn't arrhythmic like Solex, and it isn't folky like Beth Orton. It's just.nice. Despite all of this instrumentation, "Night Moves" is a very subtle record. And Bob Seger is nowhere to be found. This is decidedly not a rock album. U mustve been listening to something else. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

: My Kind of Lover

http://rocknrollscientist.blogspot.com/2006/10/my-kind-of-lover.html

My Kind of Lover. I can't say enough good things about this band Locksley. Last week I wrote a little about 'em. It's like if late '60s garage bands had access to better production. And lived in our time. And came from Wisconsin. Listen to it. Now. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Fabulous Ruins of Detroit. Pink Is the New Blog. Seat of the Revolution. BETTER READ THAN DEAD.

: Color Me Impressed

http://rocknrollscientist.blogspot.com/2006/10/color-me-impressed.html

So it follows that people from my generation who work in advertising are taking advantage of their situation to put good underappreciated music front and center for the masses. Back in the '90s, Cameron Crowe took advantage of his situation to bring us the first solo material from the Replacements' Paul Westerberg. The "Singles" soundtrack featured "Dyslexic Heart" and "Waiting For Somebody," the first two new solo songs after The Replacements broke up. It was a big deal for a lot of us. Terminal Boredom...
