Chicks' music drowns out their politics
Adam Graham / Detroit News Pop Music Writer
When the Dixie Chicks opened their North American tour Friday night at Joe Louis Arena in Detroit, the question wasn't if they'd get political, it was how political would they get.
So when the Chicks came on stage to a march reminiscent of "Hail to the Chief," it seemed as though the crowd might be in for an evening full of full-on Bush-bashing.
That was hardly the case, however, as President Bush -- whom Dixie Chicks lead singer Natalie Maines infamously told a London audience she was ashamed to share the home state with in 2003 -- was never mentioned by name during the 115-minute show.
And for the most part, the Chicks let their music do the talking, and politics took a back seat to a rollicking evening of refined, down home country music courtesy of the Chicks -- Maines, guitar and banjo player Emily Robison and violin and fiddle player Martie Maguire -- and their nine-piece backing band.
(The band was also joined on stage and in the crowd by a team of cameras, who were filming the show for a documentary.)
Attendance figures weren't available, though there were plenty of seats available in the Joe's upper deck. The crowd was largely female and cut across a wide range of ages.
Opening with "Lubbock or Leave It" from their new album "Taking the Long Way," the Chicks -- dressed in black, except for Maguire, who wore black and white -- took the stage with confidence.
"Hello, Detroit! What better place to start our tour?" Maines said, greeting the audience after a run-through of the popular revenge fantasy "Goodbye Earl." "We're excited," she said, pausing for a few seconds to soak up the applause. "I forgot what this feels like."
Maines slipped a quick reference to the fallout from her comments -- or "The Incident," as its come to be known in the Chicks' universe -- while introducing the gentle, tender "Lullaby."
Maines explained it was the last song they wrote for the new album, and said during the record's recording they had a hard time writing love songs. "I'm not sure if you know, but we were mad as hell," Maines said.
The evening's most stirring moment came an hour into the show, during "Not Ready to Make Nice," the angriest song on their new album and the fiercest song they've ever written.
When Maines sang, "It turned my whole world around -- and I kind of like it" -- again, a reference to The Incident -- it was met with hearty cheers from the crowd.
But when Maines clenched her fists and beat them against her chest during the song's emotional climax, the audience's appreciative cheers grew to rapturous rallying cries of support.
If only Maines and her bandmates would have been that passionate the entire show.
Too often, the Chicks stood still at their microphones, their lack of stage presence a glaring contradiction to the emotional highs in their music. They loosened up show's end, however; chalk up the stiffness to first night nerves.
Maines' voice was in fine form throughout the 23-song show, which included a three song encore and closed with "I Hope," a song written for the victims of Hurricane Katrina which is almost gospel in its execution.

DIXIE CHICKS CONCERT: A girls' night out in Detroit
July 22, 2006
BY BRIAN McCOLLUM
FREE PRESS POP MUSIC WRITER
The Dixie Chicks arrived at Joe Louis Arena as a group still feeling its way toward a new identity.
By the end of their two-hour, tour-opening concert Friday night, the issue remained unsettled: Just where do the Dixie Chicks stand in the contemporary pop picture? And do even the Dixie Chicks know?
What was certain at the Joe, where the country trio kicked off a four-month North American run, is that three long years and abundant drama haven’t rubbed the shine off the Chicks' live performance abilities. Blending time-tested songs with new material that's still congealing, the trio delivered a multidimensional set that became more vibrant and confident as it rolled along.
Another big question was answered before the lights went down: No, the show didn't sell out. The Joe Louis audience, overwhelmingly female, was several thousand people shy of the venue's typical concert capacity of about 14,000 -- and down from the group’s quick sellouts in previous Detroit performances.
Reports of slow ticket sales had dogged the tour since seats went on sale last month, the presumed fallout of lingering controversy over the the Chicks' 2003 criticism of President Bush and war in Iraq, which prompted much of the country establishment to abandon the superstar group -- and prompted the group to stubbornly turn its back on the country establishment.
On hand Friday night was an unconventional mosaic of concertgoers, as denim-clad fans with Stetsons gathered amid obscenity-laced anti-Bush shirts and banners. When vocalist Natalie Maines asked first-time Dixie Chicks concertgoers to show themselves, at least half the audience raised its arms and roared.
The events of 2003, for better or worse, have become an inseparable part of the Dixie Chicks' reality. Friday night, the group addressed the controversy only indirectly. "I'm not sure if you know, but we were mad as hell," Maines joked while recounting the writing of the group's nervy new album, "Taking the Long Way."
It was in the songs from that record, sprinkled liberally throughout the set, that Maines, Emily Robison (banjo) and Martie Maguire (fiddle, mandolin) let their defiance slip through. Show opener "Lubbock or Leave It' was a direct strike on small-town rural America; "Taking the Long Way" pronounced the group's new life mantra; and the testy 'Not Ready to Make Nice" earned an extended ovation.
But it was the Chicks' older material that earned the best reception -- and found the group in top form. Backed by a tight but unobtrusive nine-man band, the trio crafted rich, animated renditions of songs such as "Cowboy Take Me Away," 'Wide Open Spaces" and the show-closing "Ready to Run,' steeped in big harmonies and tinged with just enough twang.
Still, even as the show gathered steam on its way to a three-song encore, there was a nagging sense that somehow the parts of the new Dixie Chicks puzzle are still trying to fit. The latest album succeeds as its own statement; in concert, the group's newfound earnestness makes an odd fit against the devil-may-care sauciness so fundamental to much of the threesome’s previous work. Hearing the rollicking "Goodbye Earl" next to the studied self-examination of "Taking the Long Way" can make you realize just how natural and effortless the Dixie Chicks' infectious sense of fun used to be.

i noticed

TINA FEY IS LEAVING SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE
BURBANK, Calif. (AP)- Tina Fey is leaving the anchor chair at "Saturday Night Live." Fey says she's quitting the show after six seasons as head writer and co-anchor of the "Weekend Update" fake news segment to focus on her new NBC prime-time series, "30 Rock."
"The new show's going to take a lot of time," Fey said while appearing on Friday night's "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno."
"I wanted to stop doing 'Saturday Night Live' so I could spend more time with Star Jones," she joked, referring to last month's dramatic departure of "The View" co-hostess.
Fey, 36, first joined "Saturday Night Live" as a writer in 1997 and became head writer in 1999.(First Female to become Head Writer at S.N.L., and she came from Second City Chicago, or E.T.C. to be excait)
In 2000, she first appeared on camera on "Weekend Update" alongside co-anchor Jimmy Fallon, who was replaced by Amy Poehler two years ago.
Fey plays the head writer of a fictional late-night sketch show in "30 Rock," a show she developed for NBC that also stars Alec Baldwin.
"This is the big leap I'm making, it's a show about working at a late-night comedy show," she told Leno. "I'm very creative."
Ed - it was no suprize that the lovely miss Fey would leave SNL because if you notice on the last SNL on May 20 when on weekend update she flash back to one of her first weekend update (2001) as she gave birtney Spard advice on what she do in her futher, and near the end her co-anchor the always super Amy Poehler interduck chather that was writh by Tina Fay.
And Near the end when they roll the name and the Cast say thank you for enjoying the show she wore a T-shrit with the words "Thanks You"

After tackling pre-WWII American music and history on 2005's Transistor Radio, M. Ward has fast forwarded to the present, touching on modern-day issues on the upcoming Post-War, due August 22 via Merge.
The Mike Mogis/Adam Selzer-produced album, which Ward (who grabs a production credit as well) claims to be his "first band record" according to a press release, features guest spots from Neko Case and My Morning Jacket's Jim James, as well as backup from former Decemberist Rachel Blumberg and former Thermal Jordan Hudson, a pair he has been on the road with over the past 18 months.
In an interview with Billboard.com, Ward explained that the work's theme was assisted by his perusal of Ernest Hemingway's The Sun Also Rises and Kurt Vonnegut's Slaughterhouse Five: "Something that I think about is what is going to happen in the country once these soldiers come home -- what happens to these families that have been broken up," he said. "I like the way these kind of novels had addressed the 'coming home.'"
Post-War's 12 songs include a "rollicking honky tonk" (again, the press!) take on Daniel Johnston's "To Go Home", and the CD will also include the video for "Chinese Translation"
Tracklist:
01 Poison Cup
02 To Go Home
03 Right in the Head
04 Post-War
05 Requiem
06 Chinese Translation
07 Eyes on the Prize
08 Magic Trick
09 Neptune's Net
10 Rollercoaster
11 Today's Undertaking
12 Afterword/Rag

For a D&D enthusiast, Owen Pallett sure gets out a lot. For this year's He Poos Clouds, he was recently nominated for Canada's Polaris Music Prize, and he's been otherwise busy touring as Final Fantasy and adding strings to the new Arcade Fire album. And he just keeps going.
Pallett is riding out the summer in style with a ton of recently added dates to his tour itinerary. Bring your 12-sided die, because it's unlikely he's been able to get any play in with such a busy schedule.

The new Decemberists album has arrived! The Crane Wife (due out October 3 on Capitol) was delivered to the Pitchfork office encased in a satin pillowcase resting in the arms of a fair-haired princess riding a black stallion. And it isn't just any old promo CD, oh no. It's made of pure gold.
Once we sent the maiden and the horse away, we settled down with this here tracklist:
01 The Crane Wife 3
02 The Island:
Come and See
The Landlord's Daughter
You'll Not Feel the Drowning
03 Yankee Bayonet (I Will Be Home Then)
04 O Valencia!
05 The Perfect Crime #2
06 When the War Came
07 Shankill Butchers
08 Summersong
09 The Crane Wife 1 & 2
10 Sons and Daughters
Singer/songwriter Laura Veirs duets with Colin Meloy on the Civil War ballad "Yankee Bayonet", Sun City Girls associate Eyvind Kang contributed violin parts, and co-producer Chris Walla (of Death Cab for Cutie) "sang a bunch and did some keyboard-y bits throughout," according to Meloy.
Good ship Decemberists will set sail this October for a North American tour in support of the album, and we've got the itinerary all for you right here.
And yes there is a detroit date

Are you now or have you ever been a friend of P? If so, not only does that mean you're automatically friends with me, it also reasons to figure that you might be interested that the newly reformed Rentals are headed out on a North American tour, starting tomorrow night in San Francisco.
As previously reported, former Weezer bassist Matt Sharp is taking his synth pop project out of the mothballs, on to the road, and into the studio for an upcoming third album. While the band's website muses that the album is "likely to be completed and ready for release in 2007," the tour dates are ready for the here and now.
Don't let the website's awkward HTML-for-beginners appearance scare you off, either; besides hosting the official video clip-heavy archive of a band that released only two albums, the website also offers a Rentals remix of Tegan and Sara's "Walking with a Ghost." First the White Stripes cover the song and now the Rentals remix it, proving that ghosts have officially replaced zombies as this season's official "it" ghoul.

the Flaming Lips are now battling the pink Goldfrapp. Wayne and the boys recently remixed the British electro-house duo's track "Satin Chic", available as a digital download on August 14 and as a limited edition 7" picture disc on September 4 on Mute in the UK.
Titled Satin Boys, Flaming Chic, the 7" also features a Goldfrapp remix of the Ordinary Boys' "Boys Will Be Boys", plus some truly scary cover artwork (see above).
In turn, Goldfrapp remixed the Flaming Lips single "The W.A.N.D." ("Supernaturalistic Goldfrapp Remix"), was released in the UK on July 17.
In talking to NME about the remix experience, Wayne Coyne chose some really obscure references: "I believe we veered towards a Nina Simone meets Radiohead kind of mood."
The bands are donning their disco hotpants and rabbit suits, respectively, as they continue playing various dates in the UK and elsewhere. Since we last reported, the Flaming Lips have added a bunch of shows, probably ‘cause they wanted to get more use out of that mirrorball. Their performance at the Hollywood Bowl on Sunday will be filmed for a possible DVD release.

Joe Lally, bassist for Fugazi, the seminal post-hardcore band that announced its indefinite hiatus in 2003, is releasing There To Here on Dischord. The solo album, slated for an October 9 release, was recorded at Inner Ear Studios by Ian MacKaye and Don Zientara and at the Dischord House by MacKaye. MacKaye, Fugazi's guitarist, also contributed on the album, as did Fugazi member Guy Picciotto. Other artists Lally worked with include Jason Kourkounis (Hot Snakes, Delta 72), Jerry Busher (French Toast), Danny Frankel (K.D. Lang), Eddie Janney (Rites Of Spring, One Last Wish), Amy Farina (the Evens), Scott "Wino" Weinrich (Spirit Caravan, Hidden Hand) and Antonia Tricarico.
Dischord says that the album features "Lally's spare and direct bass compositions." Lally will also tour with Antelope in the fall. Regardless of Fugazi's extended time-out, every member but drummer Brendan Canty contributed to the album. This begs the question: how much of a "hiatus" are we talking about?
Tracklist For There To Here:
01. Reason To Believe
02. The Resigned
03. Sons And Daughters
04. Like A Baby
05. Lidia's Song

Well fancy that. The French Kicks are from New York, but are European in their title, while Phoenix is actually from France, but is named after a US city. Or, eh, the mythical bird. Either way, the two indie pop bands are going on tour together this August before the Kicks split for a brief headlining jaunt.
Phoenix is supporting their LP, It's Never Been Like That, which they released this past May on Astralwerks, while the French Kicks will be touring behind their latest album, Two Thousand, which was released earlier this month on Drag City/StarTime International.
They kick off the tour in Detroit

We hadn’t heard the rumor that the White Stripes could be over, but apparently this is a thing. Jack has been spending an awful lot of time with his new friends and bandmates the Raconteurs, with whom he apparently plans to release another record before focusing on the next White Stripes album.
But White claims his love for the Stripes is still true. “I’ve heard assumptions that I’m bored with the White Stripes” he reportedly said, “or that it’s not fulfilling me, which is very much not true … and I would definitely admit if that was the case.” We guess it’s worth worrying, what with Meg busy posing for Marc Jacobs and … being Meg somewhere, and Jack all married and living in Nashville, those two might not have enough time together to keep the flame alive. But after raising five beautiful records you’d think they’d find a way to make it work. Jack, don’t throw it all away on an exciting fling with a bunch of rock boys, these things never last.

This summer's Internet marketing sensation/blockbuster, Snakes on a Plane, will not be screened for critics, New Line Cinema announced this week. While some might speculate that the studio worried about reviewers pulling a Joel Siegel, New Line insisted the decision was based on letting the fans -- the ones who blogged incessantly about the film for months -- make their own decisions about the flick. "Understanding that fans would be the driving force behind the film, we decided early on they should be the first to see it," the studio said in a statement. Fans of the flick will get to see if Snakes on a Plane, which stars Samuel L. Jackson, really lives up to the hype on Aug. 18 when the film is released in theaters across the country.

After tackling pre-WWII American music and history on 2005's Transistor Radio, M. Ward has fast forwarded to the present, touching on modern-day issues on the upcoming Post-War, due August 22 via Merge.
The Mike Mogis/Adam Selzer-produced album, which Ward (who grabs a production credit as well) claims to be his "first band record" according to a press release, features guest spots from Neko Case and My Morning Jacket's Jim James, as well as backup from former Decemberist Rachel Blumberg and former Thermal Jordan Hudson, a pair he has been on the road with over the past 18 months.
In an interview with Billboard.com, Ward explained that the work's theme was assisted by his perusal of Ernest Hemingway's The Sun Also Rises and Kurt Vonnegut's Slaughterhouse Five: "Something that I think about is what is going to happen in the country once these soldiers come home -- what happens to these families that have been broken up," he said. "I like the way these kind of novels had addressed the 'coming home.'"
Post-War's 12 songs include a "rollicking honky tonk" (again, the press!) take on Daniel Johnston's "To Go Home", and the CD will also include the video for "Chinese Translation"
Tracklist:
01 Poison Cup
02 To Go Home
03 Right in the Head
04 Post-War
05 Requiem
06 Chinese Translation
07 Eyes on the Prize
08 Magic Trick
09 Neptune's Net
10 Rollercoaster
11 Today's Undertaking
12 Afterword/Rag

For a D&D enthusiast, Owen Pallett sure gets out a lot. For this year's He Poos Clouds, he was recently nominated for Canada's Polaris Music Prize, and he's been otherwise busy touring as Final Fantasy and adding strings to the new Arcade Fire album. And he just keeps going.
Pallett is riding out the summer in style with a ton of recently added dates to his tour itinerary. Bring your 12-sided die, because it's unlikely he's been able to get any play in with such a busy schedule.

The new Decemberists album has arrived! The Crane Wife (due out October 3 on Capitol) was delivered to the Pitchfork office encased in a satin pillowcase resting in the arms of a fair-haired princess riding a black stallion. And it isn't just any old promo CD, oh no. It's made of pure gold.
Once we sent the maiden and the horse away, we settled down with this here tracklist:
01 The Crane Wife 3
02 The Island:
Come and See
The Landlord's Daughter
You'll Not Feel the Drowning
03 Yankee Bayonet (I Will Be Home Then)
04 O Valencia!
05 The Perfect Crime #2
06 When the War Came
07 Shankill Butchers
08 Summersong
09 The Crane Wife 1 & 2
10 Sons and Daughters
Singer/songwriter Laura Veirs duets with Colin Meloy on the Civil War ballad "Yankee Bayonet", Sun City Girls associate Eyvind Kang contributed violin parts, and co-producer Chris Walla (of Death Cab for Cutie) "sang a bunch and did some keyboard-y bits throughout," according to Meloy.
Good ship Decemberists will set sail this October for a North American tour in support of the album, and we've got the itinerary all for you right here.
And yes there is a detroit date

Are you now or have you ever been a friend of P? If so, not only does that mean you're automatically friends with me, it also reasons to figure that you might be interested that the newly reformed Rentals are headed out on a North American tour, starting tomorrow night in San Francisco.
As previously reported, former Weezer bassist Matt Sharp is taking his synth pop project out of the mothballs, on to the road, and into the studio for an upcoming third album. While the band's website muses that the album is "likely to be completed and ready for release in 2007," the tour dates are ready for the here and now.
Don't let the website's awkward HTML-for-beginners appearance scare you off, either; besides hosting the official video clip-heavy archive of a band that released only two albums, the website also offers a Rentals remix of Tegan and Sara's "Walking with a Ghost." First the White Stripes cover the song and now the Rentals remix it, proving that ghosts have officially replaced zombies as this season's official "it" ghoul.

the Flaming Lips are now battling the pink Goldfrapp. Wayne and the boys recently remixed the British electro-house duo's track "Satin Chic", available as a digital download on August 14 and as a limited edition 7" picture disc on September 4 on Mute in the UK.
Titled Satin Boys, Flaming Chic, the 7" also features a Goldfrapp remix of the Ordinary Boys' "Boys Will Be Boys", plus some truly scary cover artwork (see above).
In turn, Goldfrapp remixed the Flaming Lips single "The W.A.N.D." ("Supernaturalistic Goldfrapp Remix"), was released in the UK on July 17.
In talking to NME about the remix experience, Wayne Coyne chose some really obscure references: "I believe we veered towards a Nina Simone meets Radiohead kind of mood."
The bands are donning their disco hotpants and rabbit suits, respectively, as they continue playing various dates in the UK and elsewhere. Since we last reported, the Flaming Lips have added a bunch of shows, probably ‘cause they wanted to get more use out of that mirrorball. Their performance at the Hollywood Bowl on Sunday will be filmed for a possible DVD release.

Joe Lally, bassist for Fugazi, the seminal post-hardcore band that announced its indefinite hiatus in 2003, is releasing There To Here on Dischord. The solo album, slated for an October 9 release, was recorded at Inner Ear Studios by Ian MacKaye and Don Zientara and at the Dischord House by MacKaye. MacKaye, Fugazi's guitarist, also contributed on the album, as did Fugazi member Guy Picciotto. Other artists Lally worked with include Jason Kourkounis (Hot Snakes, Delta 72), Jerry Busher (French Toast), Danny Frankel (K.D. Lang), Eddie Janney (Rites Of Spring, One Last Wish), Amy Farina (the Evens), Scott "Wino" Weinrich (Spirit Caravan, Hidden Hand) and Antonia Tricarico.
Dischord says that the album features "Lally's spare and direct bass compositions." Lally will also tour with Antelope in the fall. Regardless of Fugazi's extended time-out, every member but drummer Brendan Canty contributed to the album. This begs the question: how much of a "hiatus" are we talking about?
Tracklist For There To Here:
01. Reason To Believe
02. The Resigned
03. Sons And Daughters
04. Like A Baby
05. Lidia's Song
06. Billiards

Well fancy that. The French Kicks are from New York, but are European in their title, while Phoenix is actually from France, but is named after a US city. Or, eh, the mythical bird. Either way, the two indie pop bands are going on tour together this August before the Kicks split for a brief headlining jaunt.
Phoenix is supporting their LP, It's Never Been Like That, which they released this past May on Astralwerks, while the French Kicks will be touring behind their latest album, Two Thousand, which was released earlier this month on Drag City/StarTime International.
They kick off the tour in Detroit

We hadn’t heard the rumor that the White Stripes could be over, but apparently this is a thing. Jack has been spending an awful lot of time with his new friends and bandmates the Raconteurs, with whom he apparently plans to release another record before focusing on the next White Stripes album.
But White claims his love for the Stripes is still true. “I’ve heard assumptions that I’m bored with the White Stripes” he reportedly said, “or that it’s not fulfilling me, which is very much not true … and I would definitely admit if that was the case.” We guess it’s worth worrying, what with Meg busy posing for Marc Jacobs and … being Meg somewhere, and Jack all married and living in Nashville, those two might not have enough time together to keep the flame alive. But after raising five beautiful records you’d think they’d find a way to make it work. Jack, don’t throw it all away on an exciting fling with a bunch of rock boys, these things never last.

This summer's Internet marketing sensation/blockbuster, Snakes on a Plane, will not be screened for critics, New Line Cinema announced this week. While some might speculate that the studio worried about reviewers pulling a Joel Siegel, New Line insisted the decision was based on letting the fans -- the ones who blogged incessantly about the film for months -- make their own decisions about the flick. "Understanding that fans would be the driving force behind the film, we decided early on they should be the first to see it," the studio said in a statement. Fans of the flick will get to see if Snakes on a Plane, which stars Samuel L. Jackson, really lives up to the hype on Aug. 18 when the film is released in theaters across the country.

Last week, i went to the Fouth street fair on forth st just of anttonne, just south of Wanye State U. and just two blocks south of the New Center Area on the West Side of town i was there from 6 PM untill Close, the last band finnsh up a 1AM the majord of the bands i saw(The Syrrens, THTX, and the Muldoons) at a New Stage the 4th Street Fair it was Halfway from the street entry 4th street to the deadend that is near I-94 mergeing to the Lodge (M-10) on a park near a small apartment complex and i was call the Artie Jackson stage.
Now when i saw the line-up i was asking myself four stage that was weird because if you ever been tom 4th streets there have been three stage, The Park Stage (near the enter of the fair), the Street Stage (near the dead end of 4th street),and the Garden stage (a nicely size park near the third street brige over I-94).
so when i sot to the stage at about 7PM i read a speacil board that say this stage is deacated to the memory of Artie Jackson, so i was think may be he no longer with us, it was just one of thouse thoguht.
On Monday on this Blog i was asking in this Question wheld memtion the last band of the night the Muldoons:
(From Monday 07-17-06)
"Ouch but i did see one of the best new Band in detroit which is nearing a full year (debut show: Opening up for the White Strips on Oct. 2, 2005) The young Rock n roll band The Muldoons which was awsome as they rock the house at the Artie Jackson Stage. so this year 4th street was good. i did get home at HQ all right not bad for a low key street Festival.
Speaking of which before i get off the 4th street the new stage was deacatie in the memory of Artie Jackson now i did not know him, so it you know who artie jackinson was and what was his import of the 4th street festival please E-mail the Blog sight"
on tuesday, the Muldoon durmmer brian muldoon the dad in the band was asking the same thing in a E-mail:

Once Aging the E-mail address fro It Came from Culture City is
Culturecitynewstips@yahoo.com
On to other News i got the NME yesterday (with Lilly Allen on the Cover)and on page six Jack White told about his futher Plans, The Ex-Detroit told the Maginzine at the the UK Wireless Festival about a month ago that he and Bandmate and Friend Brendan Benson have begin work Album No. 2 by the Racounteurs.
"Every time we get together we play and write. As soon as we get a chance we're going to make another record. We've been talking about where rather than when. We've got some songs ready to go and we want to get recording."
So what do this mean for the White Strips and the question almost everone now and again What about Meg?, What About Meg?
Speaking of which How about Martin Bandyke, if you remember Bandyke was let go back in Nov. which was the begining of the conserveraite program Changes at WDET, you know dumping Music of NPR stuff, now a lot of people who i will not name have told me that he was geting stall, he was boring, he dont play good music, and other things he did land a new job a commerical Station WQKL-FM (107.1) he began on Jan. 30 and in the New Number in the Arbitron Spring book (April to June) it show he still popualr
that a look the Number in the 25 to 54 Demo (you know the Money Demo)
Morning Numbers Before Martin Bandyke Came - 2.3 (winter Book[jan. to March])
Morning Numbers After Martin Bandyke Came - 5.7 (Fall Book[april to June])
The Station Numbers overall in the 25 to 54 demo
Winter Book - 3.0
Fall Book - 7.3
almost double the number so this mean Martin Bandyke is still rellavan in the Detroit area despide the Fact that WQKL-FM (107.1) singal coudle reach Western Wayne County and on a good clear day far east as Southfield Road, but you can hear the station at www.annarbors107one.com/main.html.
Now the big question what is the numbers in at WDET-FM for the Spring Book will proable know in a few weeks.
in live and local gig news the surviving original members of the legendary hip-hop collective will go out on tour, they will do gig San Diego Street Scene(Aug. 4), Rock the Bells in San Bernardino, CA (Aug. 5), and the Voodoo Music Experience in New Orleans(oct. 28).
yes for the Wu-nation in Detroit they will do a detroit gig at the Wu-bulous Chene Park Near the Detroit River on this WU Date Aguest 13.
also coming back to the area is the awsome two pecie band the Mates Of State but unlike there last gig at the Stick but you have to I-94 or I-96 to ann Arbor becae they will play there gig at the Blind Pig with Guest Starlight Mints on Sunday, September 17, Now ticket will go on sale this Saturday at 10 AM

and also at culb bart the very next day The Banana Convention
It look like the hard core rap fans will enter Wu-Tang clan one aging
It look like Arcade Fire have found them self a produced for the Follow up to there smash Debut "Funeral" guess who they heir: The Arcade Fire Themself, here what lead Singer Win bulter told in a post on there web sight.
"After trying to decide if we should work with any producers we kind of realized that we already know how we want things to sound so we should just run after that sound as far as we can and not rely on someone else to guide the good ship arcade fire...at least for now,"
"We have been producing the record ourselves and working 2 great engineers Scott Colburn (who recorded the Animal Collective's Feels record and the Sun city girls among many other things) who was assisted by our monitor engineer from tour James Ogilvie, and Marcus Dravs (who recorded Homogenic and worked with brian eno and James among many others) and his assistant Francois Chevalier. They have been kind of trading off in 2 or 3 week shifts."
there recording the album in a church that they purchased near Montreal and converted into a studio. Butler reports that they recently finished recording the string section of the record with Sarah Neufeld and Final Fantasy's Owen Pallett over an intense three-day session where they threw around ideas for orchestration. Pallett is now touring in Europe, but is trading midi files with Butler's wife, and fellow band member, Regine Chassagne to try and get three songs arranged by late August.
Butler also wrote that he and his wife plan "to sneak away somewhere closer to the ocean for a week or so that we can record some vocals...a lot of the songs remind me of being near the ocean at night time."
but there not in a rush to finish the alubm and countinued the momentum from "Funeral"
"This will be the last update for a while because there is still much work to be done, and a long way to go before things are finished, and I don't want to be a tease,"
Also in the stedio is fellow canadin band Hot, Hot Heat, According to frontman Steve Bays, the Band have tweaked their sound for their new release. This time, listeners can look forward to a grittier and more aggressive sound than the light-hearted and poppy hooks found on Elevator or Make Up The Breakdown.
More than half of the new music was written on the road (a first for HHH) and Bays notes the influence of countless different locales. This is also the first record written with Luke Paquin, the guitarist who replaced Dante DeCaro after the recording of Elevator in 2004.
"The first record was more of this new wave kind of disco thing, whereas this record is more alive. It's meant to be played live, big epic rock songs," said Bays. "We just started to think that our strength is in the songs, more than anything else, and in the live shows. So we just kind of combined songs that all four us agreed that we liked, combined with the kind of feeling that would translate well live. And we just recorded it really quick. I don't think anything else really mattered."
The Album is produce by Co-produced by Butch Walker (Pink, Avril Lavigne, the Donnas) and the band, engineered by Stuart Sikes (White Stripes, Cat Power, Jets To Brazil) and mixed by Rich Costey (Muse, Bloc Party, Franz Ferdinand), The CD will be out in September on Sire

"Walking out before a movie's over is pretty unprofessional," he wrote. "I don't come down to your job and slap the taste out of your mouth for coming up with a line like '"Shark Tale" Is a Halibut Good Time'; so don't f@*k with my stuff WHILE IT'S STILL SCREENING."

It look like Arcade Fire have found them self a produced for the Follow up to there smash Debut "Funeral" guess who they heir: The Arcade Fire Themself, here what lead Singer Win bulter told in a post on there web sight.
"After trying to decide if we should work with any producers we kind of realized that we already know how we want things to sound so we should just run after that sound as far as we can and not rely on someone else to guide the good ship arcade fire...at least for now,"
"We have been producing the record ourselves and working 2 great engineers Scott Colburn (who recorded the Animal Collective's Feels record and the Sun city girls among many other things) who was assisted by our monitor engineer from tour James Ogilvie, and Marcus Dravs (who recorded Homogenic and worked with brian eno and James among many others) and his assistant Francois Chevalier. They have been kind of trading off in 2 or 3 week shifts."
there recording the album in a church that they purchased near Montreal and converted into a studio. Butler reports that they recently finished recording the string section of the record with Sarah Neufeld and Final Fantasy's Owen Pallett over an intense three-day session where they threw around ideas for orchestration. Pallett is now touring in Europe, but is trading midi files with Butler's wife, and fellow band member, Regine Chassagne to try and get three songs arranged by late August.
Butler also wrote that he and his wife plan "to sneak away somewhere closer to the ocean for a week or so that we can record some vocals...a lot of the songs remind me of being near the ocean at night time."
but there not in a rush to finish the alubm and countinued the momentum from "Funeral"
"This will be the last update for a while because there is still much work to be done, and a long way to go before things are finished, and I don't want to be a tease,"
Also in the stedio is fellow canadin band Hot, Hot Heat, According to frontman Steve Bays, the Band have tweaked their sound for their new release. This time, listeners can look forward to a grittier and more aggressive sound than the light-hearted and poppy hooks found on Elevator or Make Up The Breakdown.
More than half of the new music was written on the road (a first for HHH) and Bays notes the influence of countless different locales. This is also the first record written with Luke Paquin, the guitarist who replaced Dante DeCaro after the recording of Elevator in 2004.
"The first record was more of this new wave kind of disco thing, whereas this record is more alive. It's meant to be played live, big epic rock songs," said Bays. "We just started to think that our strength is in the songs, more than anything else, and in the live shows. So we just kind of combined songs that all four us agreed that we liked, combined with the kind of feeling that would translate well live. And we just recorded it really quick. I don't think anything else really mattered."
The Album is produce by Co-produced by Butch Walker (Pink, Avril Lavigne, the Donnas) and the band, engineered by Stuart Sikes (White Stripes, Cat Power, Jets To Brazil) and mixed by Rich Costey (Muse, Bloc Party, Franz Ferdinand), The CD will be out in September on Sire

It Came from the Late Night Music Club From Culture City
As we still on a trip down Memory Lane of 42 years of tops of the pops as it prepair it last ever show on July 30, Tonight seletion is a little off beat.
Now it was a fact that the show was ax becase of falling rating, that ture well may be because of bad acts that have play the show over the years, you know they have some really cute guys or girls or group jumping up and down singing a chatey song or worst singing some one eles song which sound and look terable and some how it became a hit for no reason what so ever, well tonight seletion fit the bill
Tonight video is from
Billie Piper
I know what your saying it the doctor who companion!, how in the world she can sing, did she ever be on tops of the pops i was asking that qusetion my self when i was looking what video to put on the late Night music club tribure but after a visit to Wikipedia.org the second most powerful thing on the web behind you tube, i found this.
Pop career
Piper's first break in the entertainment world came as a teenager, when she was selected to appear on the Saturday morning kids' television show Scratchy & Co. Piper later landed a role in a television commercial promoting the pop magazine Smash Hits. Her role was to run up to the camera, blow a bubblegum bubble and shout "Pop!" Soon after she was offered a record deal at the age of fifteen, and in 1998 became the youngest artist ever to debut at number one in the UK singles chart with "Because We Want To", released under the artist name "Billie". Her follow-up single "Girlfriend" also debuted at Number One, and her first album, Honey to the B (released immediately afterwards) debuted at Number 14 in the UK album charts. She released two further singles off the album, "She Wants You" and "Honey to the Bee"; both songs debuted at Number 3.
Piper then took a year off to record her second album. She decided to release further records under her full name, Billie Piper. She returned to the Singles Chart in May 2000 with a new, sexier sound. She hit the Number 1 spot with "Day & Night", but her success wasn't to continue. She waited until the following September to release "Something Deep Inside". That reached Number 4 in the UK Singles Chart. In October 2000, Piper released her second album, Walk of Life, which reached Number 14 in the UK Album Chart. The song "Walk of Life", the final single off this album, was released in December 2000 and reached Number 25 in the UK Singles Chart. This proved to be Piper's last musical release, a low-key exit from the world of pop.
In 1999, Piper was nominated for two Brit Awards and was named Best Female Star at the Smash Hits Poll Winners' party, although at the latter ceremony she was reduced to tears after being viciously booed by jealous fans of Ritchie Neville, member of boyband 5ive, whom she was dating at the time.
Acting career
In 2003, Piper decided to end her pop career and return to her original ambition, acting. She took acting lessons while living in Los Angeles and, still a high-profile figure, quickly earned roles in the BBC Television series The Canterbury Tales (modern retellings of Chaucer's stories) and the one-off drama Bella and the Boys.
Despite the negative reaction usually given to singers who attempt to act, Piper gained very positive reviews for these appearances, critics seemingly feeling that she was a far better actress than she was a singer.
In 2004, she appeared in the films The Calcium Kid, as the romantic interest of Orlando Bloom's character, and Things to do Before You're Thirty. Shortly before starting work on Doctor Who she filmed a starring role in the horror movie Spirit Trap, released in the summer of 2005 to generally poor reviews.
In November 2005, she starred as Hero in a BBC adaptation of Much Ado About Nothing, updated for the modern day in a similar manner to the Canterbury Tales series in which she featured, with Hero now being a weather presenter in a television station.
She will next work on a BBC adaptation of Philip Pullman's historical novel The Ruby in the Smoke. Piper will play protagonist Sally Lockhart, a Victorian orphan. The BBC plans to film all four of Pullman's Sally Lockhart novels, presumably with Piper continuing in the role.
Doctor Who
As Rose Tyler in Doctor Who (2005).In May 2004, it was announced that Piper was to play the character Rose Tyler, companion to the Doctor in the revived series of Doctor Who, beginning in 2005.
On 25 October 2005, Piper won the Most Popular Actress category at the National Television Awards for her work on Doctor Who. BBC News named Piper as one of its "Faces of the Year" for 2005, primarily due to her success in Doctor Who. At The South Bank Show Awards on 27 January 2006 Piper was awarded The Times Breakthrough Award for her successful transition from singing to acting. In March 2006, the Television and Radio Industries Club named Piper as best new TV talent in their annual Tric awards.

Untill the Dally in the Alley
Well if you read today new Music Tuesday, then you know i list the new release of the only bands that matters now some time i been accused of puting band that i like or as some friend have say i just put this because there a pretty cute chick in the band, well both are ture but i should be ponit out that i try to cover the underrated bands and artist al most ever day beacasue it am a music fan and lover of music for all my life but mostly the last ten years as the indie scene was dying after Nirvana as the rise of just plan awlful teen pop which i cant stand to the rebirth of roch thur the White Strips and other bands. So i you follow music like i do most of the Music magizine and Blog mostly review Album or live gig that came to town, but most of them dont review single expect one of my fave sourced pitchforkmedia.com they are the only on review single next to the NME which hands the best new single the single of the week and they do a good job of it and in the last few review they not been kind to the new single form upcoming CD.
Last week. The Killers made a bit sample of the first track to there upcoming CD Sam Town which is out in oct. but some body got the full track of the First single When you where young" and pitchfork was not kind giving it two stars out of four calling it this baby is a stillborn,not born to run, ouch if that give any thing the follow up to the hot fuzz may not be good.
but there were not kind to Franz Ferdinand b size single to "Eleanor Put Your Boots On", it called Fade Together A Remix by the Avalanches but there where not kind of etiher giving it one star saying it the single most sedate moment in the entire Franz oeuver and adding It's shomhow simultaneously the most audacious and the most boring thing they could've done with it, an i dont listen to it ever aging.

And after seeing the nomations, I am asking myself that what in the hell they pick these CD as the 12 best, But in years past music from artist who have no clue who they are have become Famos over night like KT Tunstall and last year winners Antony and the Johnsons so with My comment in ( ) the nominees are:
Arctic Monkeys - Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not
[it was a giving because they maintant all the hype that follow a good record]
Isobel Campbell and Mark Lanegan - Ballad Of The Broken Seas
[a supring chocie for the Ex-Belle and Sebastian member, she a cool Scottish singerwho have a cool alum this year, but there a little Conserver with her co-collaborativer Mark Lanegan who is from Seattle and was a member Screaming Trees and Queens of the Stone Age]
Editors - The Back Room
[a lot of conserver there as well some it should amde the short list in 2005 and it should not make the shortlist this year, but it was release in the time frame July 25, 2005, they have a good record, and be in town at the stick on Aug,3rd, my brithday]
Guillemots - Through the Windowpane
[i dont know much about the band but the record was released just nine days ago under the deadline]
Richard Hawley - Coles Corner
[i dont much about him, but accroing to a bio on Wikipedia.com he was a member of the Longpig during the early day of Britpop]
Hot Chip - The Warning
[this is one of the many music style was nominees, there a electro-pop band, who have been described as "the bedroom Neptune, but when i review one of there single on the My NME Single of the week i was not impress]

My overall review excpet for Arctic Monkeys,Thom Yorke,Editors and to some degree Isobel Campbell for all you long time Belle and Sebastian fans this tear shortlist i not the best on record, i do argee with the UK Music Critet Lilly Allen not on the shortlist you got to be kiding me here music is urber cool and not put her as one of the best alubm of the year is kind of bad next to Outragest Chreey not beging the big winners at the Detroit Music awards(but that is for differn time) so my final verict on the this year UK Mercury shortlist it between OK and so-so.
and by the way a correction when i first post the list this morning i said chair of judges for the Mercury Simon Frith announce the NOMINATED, but it was the one and only Jolls Holland the host of BBC-TV Later made the announcement.
The Winner will be announce on September 5.
Now i know your asking what happend to US version of the Mercury Music Prize, The Shortlist Music Prize, the last we ever heard of it was 2004 when TV on the Radio won it for there debut "Desperate Youth, Blood Thirsty Babes" but after a Disagreement between the co-founder of the short list put a holds on the short list in 2005 so there was no shortlist awards that year and it may mot coutenued co-founder Tom Sarig when on to put on a awards that is base on the shortlist(Which is base on the Mercury Music Prize), it was called The New Pantheon Music Award there first awards was hand out this year with Finalists from the like of the The Arcade Fire,Death Cab For Cutie,The Decemberists, and M.I.A. to name a few but the winner fo the that awards was Sufjan Stevens and his debut "Come on fell the Illinois", but the next Awards Finalists will be announce in November with the winner to be announce around Grammy time.

Untill the Dally in the Alley
Well if you read today new Music Tuesday, then you know i list the new release of the only bands that matters now some time i been accused of puting band that i like or as some friend have say i just put this because there a pretty cute chick in the band, well both are ture but i should be ponit out that i try to cover the underrated bands and artist al most ever day beacasue it am a music fan and lover of music for all my life but mostly the last ten years as the indie scene was dying after Nirvana as the rise of just plan awlful teen pop which i cant stand to the rebirth of roch thur the White Strips and other bands. So i you follow music like i do most of the Music magizine and Blog mostly review Album or live gig that came to town, but most of them dont review single expect one of my fave sourced pitchforkmedia.com they are the only on review single next to the NME which hands the best new single the single of the week and they do a good job of it and in the last few review they not been kind to the new single form upcoming CD.
Last week. The Killers made a bit sample of the first track to there upcoming CD Sam Town which is out in oct. but some body got the full track of the First single When you where young" and pitchfork was not kind giving it two stars out of four calling it this baby is a stillborn,not born to run, ouch if that give any thing the follow up to the hot fuzz may not be good.
but there were not kind to Franz Ferdinand b size single to "Eleanor Put Your Boots On", it called Fade Together A Remix by the Avalanches but there where not kind of etiher giving it one star saying it the single most sedate moment in the entire Franz oeuver and adding It's shomhow simultaneously the most audacious and the most boring thing they could've done with it, an i dont listen to it ever aging.
but there was nice Jessica Simpson giving her new song call "A public Affife star calling it "it just might be the most perfect vacuum created since that lispy brit's Tonka-sucker"and adding " Ms. simpson wouldn't maul the Eurovision qualifying rounds were she that reagoin of the world, bu there' no way she thumps the Finnish GWAR(this year winners Lordi) with this S?!&.
but hey there where more kind to Paris Hilton.... give her attempt at begin a rock star a half a star better(1 1/2 stars)
