First, a note about the direction of CKTK. We will be posting our end-0f-the-decade thoughts soon. Also, our top albums of 2009 lists will drop in mid-to-late-December. To lead up to those, we will be posting our top ten albums of the year lists from 2005-2008, sans commentary. We will, of course, link to places online where that commentary is posted if it’s floating out there somewhere. We will also be creating new content, so that the site doesn’t just turn into “Listapalooza 2009″.

These lists will appear unchanged from when we originally wrote them toward the end of each year. This should show you a little bit about what to expect from each author, and hopefully, it will inspire you to go back and listen to some of those great albums that you’ve forgotten from those years.

Without further ado, let’s start it off with ck’s top ten albums of 2005:

1. Sufjan Stevens – Come On, Feel the Illinoise!
2. Alkaline Trio – Crimson
3. Junior Senior – Hey Hey My My Yo Yo
4. Beck – Guero
5. Jack Johnson – In Between Dreams
6. Fall Out Boy – From Under the Cork Tree
7. The Rocket Summer – Hello Good Friend
8. The Decemberists – Picaresque
9. PANIC! at the Disco – A Fever You Can’t Sweat Out
10. Sigur Ros – Takk

Playlist:

1. Chew Lips ♥ Salt Air (Alex Kapranos Remix)
2. The Drums – Let’s Go Surfing
3. 20 Fingers ♥♥♥ Short Dick Man
4. Max Justus – Ctrl Alt Dance (Coulson’s ‘Cheap Arcade’ Edit)
5. Jack Johnson – Constellations (with Eddie Vedder)(live)
6. DJ Assault – Nympho
7. Jamie Cullum – I’m All Over It
8. Norah Jones – Man of the Hour
9. Air ♥♥♥♥ Sing Sang Sung (sayCet remix)
10. Washed Out ♥♥ New Theory

En fait:

1. Alex Kapranos nous propose ici un nouveau remix! Peut-être est-ce le nom ou peut être est-ce la chanson original qui fait de ce remix un très bon choix. Quoi qu’il en soit, c’est extrêmement bien foutu et on s’en lasse bien difficilement!
2. Une jolie balade pop au rythme ensorcellent. Je ne l’aurais peut-être pas ajouté dans cette playlist s’il n’y aurait pas eu se plagia (reprise) de Hot Dog de Smd. M’enfin, la qualité est là, on ne crache pas dessus.
3. Un rythme glaciale, une langue bien pendue(ou pas), une mélodie quasi techno. Rien de très réjouissant à priori mais pourtant on se laisse vite aller et…arf, ma foi, c’est assez marrant . Ce titre nous est proposé par Madame, il n’est pas forcément récent mais n’a pas vieilli d’un pouce.
4. Ça à l’air tout bête comme ça : quelques bruitage snes, un fond pop/electro vaguement entrainement….Puis, je ne sais pas à peine 15 seconde le charme opère et on est complètement sous le charme de ce petit bijoux.
5. “En Concert” de Jack Johnson est juste somptueux. Les titres sont tous revisités, revigorés, par cette initiative. Il est si beau de découvrir que de si jolie ballade en CD peuvent être d’une beauté sans nom en concert. Constellations en duo avec Eddie Vedder lui même n’est qu’un exemple entre tous les autres.
6. Ces derniers temps, je me suis un peu attardée sur les compile Kitsuné et je suis tombée sur ce titre de DJ Assault “Nympho”. Un jolie petit tube bien impacté, bien léché, entêtant.
7. Je vous avouerais  que le dernier album de Jamie Cullum m’a complètement déçue. Pas qu’il soit foncièrement mauvais, mais je suis restée sur ma fin ; il manque cette petite chose qui fait toutes la différences. Pourtant, I’m All Over It était un single extrêmement prometteur.
8. Idem pour le dernier Norah Jones. A vouloir jouer sa rockeuse, ça ne ressemble plus vraiment à grand chose. On appréciera l’initiative mais attendra quelque chose de plus consistant.
9. Comment vous dire…C’est juste sublime.
10. Oui, ok. New Theory pourrait être assimiler à cette vague électro totalement à la mode( ou has been selon le point de vue) mais il y a ce machintrucchose qui vous fait sentir qu’il y autre chose…Toujours cette fameuse chose. Un jour, je ferais un blog qui s’appellerait, “Le truc”, ça sera un bide mais l’idée y aurait été.

Car la moustache d’Alex Kapranos, c’est mythique.

Já há algumas semanas, está disponível nas lojas de todo Brasil o novo álbum do cantor/cineasta/empresário/surfista/gente boa Jack Johnson, chamado En Concert. Este é o primeirio disco ao vivo da carreira do havaiano, que traz registros  de apresentações em diversos países na sua última turnê, Sleep Through The Static World Tour. Ao mesmo passo que En Concert também foi recentemenre lançado em DVD e Blu-Ray, na forma de documentário.

Assim como o disco, o documentário (assista aqui o trailer) explora os bastidores da turnê de Jack e seus companheiros, Zach Gill (teclados), Adam Topol (bateria) e Merlo Podlewski (baixo), que dividem ondas e o palco pelo mundo afora, em apresentações surpreendentes como no Hyde Park, em Londres, ou intimistas como no seu canto em Honolulu, no Havaí.

Turnê, álbum e documentário para causas sócio-ambientais

Um outro atrativo bem interessante é a participação dos conhecidos parceiros de Jack, Matt Costa e Ben Harper, que faz ao lado de Johnson um belíssimo cover de Bob Marley. Porém o destaque da obra é sem dúvida a presença marcante de Eddie Vedder, vocalista do Pearl Jam, na canção Constallations.

O material completo de En Concert pode ser adquirido também em uma edição especial, trazendo CD e DVD e um livreto de 60 páginas com fotos inéditas da turnê de Johnson. Toda a grana que for arrecadada com as vendas do ábum será destinado para duas instituições assistenciais, a Kokua Hawaii Foundation e Johnson Ohana Family Trust. O projeto é ainda mais bacana, já que a 1% da renda da turnê do álbum Sleep Through The Static foi destinada para o projeto do próprio músico, chamado 1% for the world.

Segue as canções que estão incluídas no álbum En Concert. O set list do documentário é praticamente o mesmo, com uma ordem bem diferente.

01. Belle / Banana Pancakes
02. If I Had Eyes
03. Do You Remember / Remember
04. Sleep Through The Static
05. Flake
06. Bubble Toes / Express Yourself
07. Wasting Time
08. What You Thought You Need
09. Country Road (with Paula Fuga)
10. Staple It Together
11. Sitting, Waiting, Wishing
12. Constellations (with Eddie Vedder)
13. The Horizon Has Been Defeated / Mother and Child Reunion
14. Good People
15. All At Once
16. Gone
17. Home
18. Times Like These
19. Angel / Better Together

Cartaz da premiere mundial do documentário En Concert

Fábio Prina_24/11/2009

This week I’m going a totally different route as far as my selection goes. I think this is going to be the new format for “New Music Monday”. (If you don’t like it or if you do, let me know!!) I end up coming across a lot of information on artists when I do these posts and I think most of my readers would enjoy learning as much about the artists as I have. I love learning their story and when you listen to their music you get an even better appreciation for it.

Last week, I believe it was Tuesday or Wednesday, I went through my recent followers and did the whole, “Hmmm…lets see who’s following so I can follow back” thing. I came across an interesting avatar, saw the name @seanfournier, clicked the link and read the bio: “Singer/songwriter, FREE ALBUM http://www.sean-fournier.com/ohmy, designer” So I thought, “Eh…what the heck, its free and new…” So I downloaded the 6 song EP and spent most of the day listening to it.

As I mentioned last week, sometimes it takes a listen or two or four to really start to like a new artist, but the first song on the EP, Oh My, is “Broken Stereo” and it had me hooked about 6 bars in! I instantly had Donavon Frankenreiter/Jack Johnson flashbacks.

Later that day, I did a little bit more digging on Mr. Fournier and came across his blog and started reading. The first post that really caught my eye was an interview he did with The Creative Uncommons.

SF: I’ve heard many descriptions. One that I like is, ’soft yet edgy”. Gary Allen from the Charlie Daniels Band said, “He reminds me of an early Paul Simon that has no job opportunity for a Garfunkle.” My grandmother says my style is “love songs”. Without actually naming a genre I would say that my music is Jason Mraz meeting Jack Johnson in a house with Tom Waits peering in through the window.



Of course, I see my homeboy Jack Johnson mentioned and I’m instantly intrigued (in case you live in a cave, I LOOOOVE Jack and all his Jackness). But its a very unique self-description. So I read on, hoping to find out why this guy is literally giving his music away and to be honest, what I found was amazing.

TCUC: Your free album ‘Oh My’ has been incredibly successful so far with 126,000 listens on Jamendo alone, not to mention its spread through all the other outlets you’ve used for promotion, plus you’re still actively trying to get it out there for people to listen to, do you feel like you’ve ‘made it’ as a musician? Or is there more left to do?



SF: I feel very satisfied with where I am right now. I am by no means this huge mainstream artist, but I think the music industry is shifting and artists no longer have to be signed to a label. With the use of the Internet, the power has begun to shift to resourceful unsigned artists. So with that said, then yes, I do feel I’ve ‘made it’. I have signed licensing deals with VH1 and MTV by myself and that, to me, is something that I am very proud of.



TCUC: As well as being an online hit you’ve also done extensive live shows, how’ve you found the experience of performing to a crowd? Something to look forward to? Or just an interlude between the song writing and creation?



SF: Playing shows is a ton of fun! I love connecting and interacting with fans. I mainly play colleges in the Northeast and it’s cool to allow people to hear my music in a different way. I’ve made the choice to not become a touring artist with the interest of my future wife and family in mind. I do not want to have a family with their father always on the road. So shows will be a fun thing to look forward to here and there.



TCUC: With ‘Oh My’ you invested a lot of time, effort and resources into promoting it and getting new listeners, has it been worth it? Is self promotion a viable model for you or are you still keeping half an eye out for that big commercial release?



SF: It has been more than worth it. If it weren’t for ‘Oh My’, I never would’ve signed those licensing deals and most of all, never would’ve gotten my music out there as much as I did. My fanbase practically grew tenfold. My biggest dream for my music right now would be to be featured in a movie or on TV.



TCUC: You’ve said that you’ve got enough material together for a new album, when will it be emerging into the light of day? And what can people expect from it musically?



SF: I am currently recording another 6-track EP. It will hopefully be seeing the light of day early 2010, realistically. Musically, fans can expect to hear a little acoustic songs, piano, even a slight hint of hip hop. I like to change up styles, so I can guarantee each song will be a little different.



TCUC: And, to satiate the fans who hate parting with their money, will your next effort be another free release?



SF: I’m still deciding on that one. I need to somehow support the album financially. I have a few ideas in the works of how I’m going to manage that. I have found that it’s much more fun to give things away, but we’ll have to see!



TCUC: From the point of view of the free music community yours is undoubtedly one of the biggest names but you’ve also gotten a lot of mainstream attention, not least from MTV, which is pretty impressive, do you feel that you’ll one day reach the point where you’ll move away from the Creative Commons and free music scene to do more within the traditional music world?



SF: At this point, no. I think the traditional music world isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. I love giving ‘Oh My’ for free. I just want people to hear it. That means much more to be than being signed with a label. I just love making music and I want people to help me spread the word. If I can somehow make cover costs and still make it easy to get my music out there, I will be happy.



TCUC: You’ve undoubtedly got your own online following going on but do you feel like part of something bigger? There are an increasing number of musicians putting out their work for free, some coming from an established career in the commercial world and most just starting up, is there a sense that you’re part of the movement that’s emerging here?

SF: I definitely feel like it’s part of something big. I think it’s going to separate the music industry into those who are out to make money, and those who just want to get their name out there. Don’t get me wrong, I would love to make money on my music, but I feel I have to get my music out there even more so. Maybe one day people would donate to the cause or something.



TCUC: Have you got any particular favourites particular favourites from the free music world?



SF: I thought it was cool that Coldplay gave out a free live album called, ‘Left Right Left Right Left’. Went to one of their concerts and I received it. I thought they were pretty cool.



TCUC: What’s the ultimate goal for Sean Fournier? Where, in a few years time, would you ideally be with your music? Yachts full of groupies and mountains of cash or still dealing with the fans on a more personal level?



SF: I would love to be able to have such a following that I could record albums at my house, release them, cover my costs, and get featured on soundtracks.



It is SOOO refreshing to see an artist honestly love his music so much that he’s willing to just give it away for free. And the fact that he has no intention of being a touring artist so he can stay home with his family is amazing. In the age of hip-hop superstars making BOAT LOADS of money on mediocre music, its almost SHOCKING to come across an artist willing to sacrifice so much to simply give people a chance to listen to their art for practically nothing, and in this case…literally, nothing.

He’s also going to be creating a compilation CD made up entirely of cover songs from “Oh My” done by fans. How cool is that?! He says,

I’m excited to hear what people will record. It’s always interesting to see what kind of personal spin someone puts on a song when they are covering music. This project aims to celebrate the diversity among my listeners. Whether the cover songs are rap, country, electronica, or whatever… It should make for an interesting project.

I’m actually quite excited to hear it! The CD will be titled, “Oh Brother Take Cover”.

Now on to the other tracks on the EP…

The song “Another Like You” is one of my favorites (truth be told, its so hard to say that because I really do like them all). Its one of the most honest and sweet love songs I’ve heard in a long time. The lyrics are very sweet and I can’t help but feel a little Ben Folds Five-y when I listen to it. The arrangement is just wonderful to my ears and to be quite honest, I can’t find any flaws.

Ok, I lied before…”Falling for you” is my absolute favorite. Its cute, catchy and I heard it a few days after having a dream about someone texting me to say they were coming over, and I woke up from my dream fully expecting that person to just be there…and when you hear the song, you’ll see where that fits in. So I guess its a bit of a sentimental attachment here, but regardless, its a great song. The piano is very simple and lovely, almost makes me thing that he’s just a guy who sat down at the piano one day this song just fell out of his brain. Kind of like something you’d see in a movie.

The last song I’m going to post is “Holding The Hand Of The Hurricane”, when I hear it I get the Sesame Street song, “One of these things is not like the other…” in my head for a minute. Once you listen you’ll see what I’m talking about. Its got a very latin sound-think Shakira ballad or Enrique Iglesias-ish, which when you compare to the others I’ve posted, its very different. That being said, the lyrics fall right in line with the previous tracks but it does provide a nice contrast to the other songs on the EP.

I suggest you download the free, yes, it’s absolutely free, EP and give the whole thing a listen. He’s a great artist and is working very hard to promote his music. Fact of the matter is, I’m a fan now. And damnit, you should be too!

After the disaster that was the January Jones Saturday Night Live debacle, Joseph Gordon-Levitt swooped in and hosted a truly legendary show. It was clear from his opening monologue that we were in for an evening of delight. I implore Lorne to invite “Joe” back for hosting duties as soon as humanly possible.

Here is one of the classic skits from last Saturday’s episode featuring a shockingly believable Ozzy Osbourne played by the famously mellow Dave Matthews:

Hemp Necklace.

The relaxing breezy tune from Jack Johnson fits this Sunday evening perfectly.
Welcoming the rain that has just went home to its mother,
“slow down everyone you’re moving too fast“

Inaudible Melodies
Artist: Jack Johnson
Album: Brushfire Fairytales

Brushfire fairytales
Itsy bitsy diamond wells
Big fat hurricanes
Yellow bellied given names
Well shortcuts can slow you down
And in the end we’re bound
To rebound off of we

Well dust off your thinking caps
Solar powered plastic plants
Pretty pictures of things we ate
We are only what we hate
But in the long run we have found
Silent films are full of sound
Inaudibly free

Slow down everyone
You’re moving too fast
Frames can’t catch you when
You’re moving like that

Inaudible melodies
Serve narrational strategies
Unobtrusive tones
Help to notice nothing but the zone
Of visual relevancy
Frame-lines tell me what to see
Chopping like an axe and

Maybe Eisenstein should just relax

Slow down everyone
You’re moving too fast
Frames can’t catch you when
You’re moving like that

Well Plato’s cave is full of freaks
Demanding refunds for the things they’ve seen
I wish they could believe
In all the things that never made the screen
And just slow down everyone
You’re moving too fast
Frames can’t catch you when
You’re moving like that
Slow down everyone
You’re moving too fast
Frames can’t catch you when
You’re moving like that
Moving Too….

Checking some covers of Jack Johnson, John Butler Trio and Tristan Prettyman I saw this dude playing: “Beautiful” (a girl singing too), alright, the video is pretty awesome but I’m talking about him ‘cuz he has surf in hobby and music style. His name: Mike Salisbury, in his youtube channel you can watch him playing songs by; Jimi Hendrix, G Love and another important fact, he’s a songwriter. It’s a great recomendation if you’re a surf lover and a surf music fan – you can download his cd on his website, enjoy it, mahalo.

Mike’s Youtube Channel - Mike’s Official Website.

One thing I’ve loved doing for as long as I can remember is turning people on to music that I like and I think maybe they will like as well. I’ve made my parents and my sister cassette tapes and now CDs, for years with music, some that they know and mostly songs or artists they don’t know. Discovering new music is still a big high for me. It’s like Gregg Allman once said about music, that it’s “life’s blood”.

So I thought maybe I’d do some posts each Friday  called “Shine A Light”, that would do exactly that, shine a light on stuff you may or may not have heard. They also may shine a light on folks you’ve forgotten. It’s easier than ever to expand your musical library and find folks through on line sources that you probably couldn’t have 30+ years ago. I’d also love to hear what you are listening to.

The first guy is new to me in the last 7 years or so, but Jack Johnson’s music for me has been like a breath of fresh air. He combines that laid back island vibe, picking up in a strange way where Buffett was years ago. The longer and closer I listened I realized how much he had to say, and how he works his life,and his love for the environment into his music.

It seems from what I’ve read that Jack truly tries to live the Aloha life. If you don’t know his music or some of the causes he is involved with should check him out.

Aloha

As a side note, my goal of not being like 99% of the other blogs in the sphere has obviously not being achieved.  What I’m referring to is how this large majority receives an updated post about every four months.  So of course I jumped into things with ambition…which faded quickly.  I’ve re-committed myself to at least a post each week and, to make this more achievable, I’m going to stick with shorter, to the point posts.  Somewhere between the size of a tweet and long winded email.  So here goes:

Jack Johnson’s first official live release, En Concert: The Album, is utterly amazing!  From the very first track, an entirely French version of “Belle,” into the highest energy, “Banana Pancakes,” probably ever performed, the album is one that won’t leave your must play list for weeks, if not months!  After years of relying on bootleg live Jack shows for a fix in between his rare tours, this album will more than fulfill your need for Jack’s mello, soul filled, acoustic rock.  To add some cherries on top get ready for a guest appearance by Eddie Vedder and cover’s of some great tunes originally performed by the likes of Jimi Hendrix and Paul Simon.  Along with the album I’d definitely recommend checking out, En Concert: The Film, directed by Emmett Malloy documenting Jack on tour.  Both can be picked up on Jack’s site.  Enjoy!

So I just came across some guy’s msn status (or whatever you call them) and it was a reference to a Jack Johnson song.

And then I remembered through all my Brian Setzer, Pink Martini Barbershop Quartet (I hear you laughing. I swear though. Some of these barbershop quartet’s have gotten me through a long night) obsessions that I havn’t heard Jack Johnson in over a little while!

He was and still is one of my favourite artists.

So. I hope next week goes by quickly. So I can cross off another 7 days off of my Christmas countdown.

I want to be done my time in highschool now. pleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleaseplease.

Ja.

You look so pretty sleeping next to me
But there is not enough time,
And there is no, no song I could sing
And there is no, combination of words I could say
But I will still tell you one thing
We’re better together

A casa até pode não ter lotado, mas o entardecer de domingo foi embalado pelo reggae e pela surf music da Banda Nego Joe. A apresentação no Restaurante Mundo Selvagem, em Balneário Camboriú teve início às 17h e foi até às 22h. O ambiente aconchegante e exótico tornou o lugar ainda mais agradável.

A banda, formada em 2004, conta com o vocalista, Nego que também toca guitarra e violão, Giba Moojen na bateria e Maykow no baixo. Com melodias envolventes e letras joviais, os meninos da banda Nego Joe já têm suas músicas tocadas por toda Santa Catarina e também pelo Brasil. “Ouvir a nossa música nas rádios é muito legal. E a nossa alegria aumenta ainda mais quando os fãs ligam e pedem por elas”, conta o vocalista.

O CD e DVD da banda foi lançado recentemente e já é o maior sucesso. Gravado na praia Brava, em Itajaí, o DVD com 13 faixas autorais, conta com a participação de Serginho Moah, vocalista do Papas da Língua. O repertório é escolhido a dedo. A banda intercala músicas de sua autoria, com a de outros artistas de quem são fãs. Maykow revela que Jack Johnson e O Rappa sempre foram referência: “Essas bandas acrescentam muito na nossa carreira. Elas nos inspiram. Tanto nos shows, quanto na hora de compor nossas canções”.

O próximo show acontece na cidade de Porto Alegre/RS, no dia 12 de novembro, no Centro de Eventos E.C. Internacional e tem início às 21hrs.
