The 2008 Culture CIty Festive 50 - Part one - Unfinish business

Well Merry X-mas and Happy Holidays to all you out there
i hope you had a great X-mas i know that i did aldought it was not much
i guess

With 2008 almost over i think it was the perfit time to do the 3rd annuals Culture City Festive 50 for 2008, that is all the band that matter to you in 2008 but before i get to 2008, i have some unfinish Business to take care of.

I was at this time last year i was doing the 2007 version festive 50 until a slow moving distaster happened to this blog site on my end and yes it was a distaster,

as i was doing the 2007 version of the festive 50 my Computer which i do this blog site caught a bad computer Virus and worst my computer was showing sing of slowing down, there was pop up happing almost ever three minutes and it was slowing down a lot with every used, so in a effot to not ruin the computer so much i stop posting on this blog site on New Year Eve in 2007 with what going on New Year Eve.

I Did Not post aging until May 18th almost four and half months later and that though me a big time curve ball it was real tough to get back on track to do the blog site aging and doing on a daily bias was almost a pain in the butt.

I did try a few times to do the warp up to the Festive 50 but could not come up with the wright date, and not only that i took time off aging with some post on and off from Mid-October to late December because of family issued and not only that my dad was in the hospital for about three weeks at the same time i took a tele-communication course class at Henry Ford Community College in Dearborn with the class Completion over two weeks ago.

With the New year here in almost five days as of this writing i decide to fire up the site aging to do the 2008 Culture City Festive 50 but i decide to finish the 2007 Festive 50 and it won't be long it a Top 10 from Ten to One with a recap at the start of the post to the finish.

Hope you enjoy a little bit from last year and this year Festive 50.

The Culture City Interview - Back in spades Frontman Stephen Palmer

During the height of the Detroit gardge scene early in this decade, there was a lot band hoping to be the next big band to come out of detroit, one of thouse bands was back in spade this 4-pieced band was a fan fave during live show with there blues-style of rock.

there was love, even one of there song was Detroit Slums was name little stephen coolest snog in the world on his syndicated underground gardge radio show back in 2004. and then when they reach the heights of popular they went there separt way and Never was hear aging.

So i was kind to hear that the four guys in back in spade was getting back together to do a one off reunion show at Small's in hamtramck tonight[December 20th] the four guys Stephen Palmer[lead vocals],Jackson Smith[Guitars],Nick Bataran[bass] and Joe Leone[Drums] have been doing a lot of project here and there like Palmer begin a part of the "Ghost City" and Nick touring the country and the world as guitar tech for one of culture city fave bands "The Kills"

But there back in town for the holiday and there doing a show and played just as they remember, early this week i talk to front man Stephen Palmer to see what as the band take to the stage for the first time in four years.

KEY:

ICFCC: It Came From Culture City:
SP: Stephen Palmer

It Came From Culture City: So Stephen Palmer how it going

Stephen Palmer: it's going very well - a bit cold today!
how are you?

ICFCC: i am doing find on this day[Tuesday 12/16], 'Well back in spade a great band in Detroit after the white stripes go mainstream, was a solid band for three years before you guys went your speared ways and now you are back together, first of all how did this reunion happed and why small's

SP:thanks steve! we were given an opportunity to play at smalls by mike mouyanis back in october - everyone felt good about it, so we had a couple rehearsals and we're excited to play on the 20th.

ICFCC: have you patch things up with the other members bacause it has been a long time since you play in the same room together.

SP:yes, it's been about four years, though we're happy at how well things clicked back into place during rehearsals.

ICFCC: did you fell good vibe aging?

SP: yes, it was nice to get in the same room and play together. i hadn't seen nick bataran in over a year and we're all very busy - so, there was definently a good vibe!

ICFCC: so i know you fans have been asking you why did you break up in the first place?

SP: well, we had a good run of about 3 years - we had great times and great shows. we had a bit of an accelerated lifespan due to the intensity levels of the personalities in the band. sometimes conditions like that can result in great creativity and more often, it causes an implosion.

ICFCC: So how did you rebuild the from the Ruble form that implosion?

SP: well, i should mention that we have no long term plans to reform. we were interested in playing this one show to have a good time...though, we're not ruling anything out...

ICFCC: Like a great show this saturday

SP: yes, we're really looking forward to it!

ICFCC: i know you guys for the last few years, but for my readers what have you done since back in spade broke up

SP: i've had a few projects over the years and i'm working on a record now which i'm very happy about.

ICFCC: What kind kind of band where you in? for thouse of us remember

SP: mostly bands in the "joke" or "fake" genre

ICFCC: so what is your new project are you in is it a solo project of a new band

SP: the new project is called "palmer's penthouse" and it's a recording project so far - but i hope to have a band again.

ICFCC: Now you are calling the project a penthouse, now dont tell me or a ladies man or you have a girlfriend

SP: hahaha!!!!! you have an open invitation to palmer's penthouse anytime if you'd like to see for yourself!

ICFCC: OK i will conserder that, hummm!

SP: you should start Culture City's penthouse!

ICFCC: I dont know

SP: just an idea.

ICFCC: steve Palmer OMG....OK

SP: i will consider that last statement the "gotcha" moment of the interview.

ICFCC: Now when back in spade 1st broke out the detroit rock scene was big fule by the stripes and the von bondies the dirtbombs and other and now here we are in 2008 and the scene is back to a reg. scene, are you comfeable with that or do you think the rock Scene have more to offer?

SP: there are still many great bands in detroit and the city definently still has alot of talent to offer

ICFCC: so what band have you been digging to Inside the 313 and out side the 313

SP: i'm a fan of the dead bodies, the go, high strung, zoos of berlin, wildcatting, scarlet oaks and many others but i'm not able to go out and support bands as much as i would like to.

ICFCC: is that because of work or trying to get out

SP:i can't handle the smoke.

ICFCC: i know the bloing smoke suck, Is there a band that nobody have heard before that all of culture city should hear of

SP: you might be asking the wrong person. i listen to talk radio.

ICFCC: There is the internet, for music and you listen to talk radio, Why

SP: i am interested in current events, news and politics. i play music everyday and i guess i'm in my own bubble most of the time.

ICFCC: One more question, the name of band "Back in Spades" where did you get you name in a back year poker game or what?

SP: Yes.

ICFCC: tell my reader the story

SP: i knew we'd be a powerful live band. i consciously wanted to be in a heavier guitar and drum group. so, regarding the name - i liked the notion, but not the literal meaning of a card game, but inevitably, that's what people think.

ICFCC: Well thank you very much for this interview is there any thing that you want to say before saturday show?

SP: i've got blisters on my fingers!

ICFCC: Well thank you very much for the interview have fun on saturday and will talk to you soon

SP: thanks for the interview!

Bobby Darin – A Man In A Hurry

Fridays 2:00 PM

Sir Tim Rice presents the story of actor and musician Bobby Darin, who died 35 years ago on 20 December, 1973.

A multi-talented, versatile performer and composer, Bobby Darin bestrode the music scene from rock 'n' roll, folk and country to big band and the America Popular Songbook.

Never has a performer made so many successful career turns in such a short, brilliant career. Darin was even seen as a serious rival to Frank Sinatra for a short time.

The series will feature many brand new interviews with a host of personalities, including Steve Blauner (Bobby Darin’s manager of many years), Jimmy Scalia (the official Bobby Darin archivist) and Teri Koenig (Darin’s sister-in-law and "valet").

In Dreams: The Roy Orbison Story

Mondays 6:30 PM

To mark the 20th anniversary of Roy Orbison’s death, Mark Lamarr presents a new four part documentary, telling the story of the Grammy-award winning singer/songwriter, guitarist and pioneer of rock ‘n’ roll.

Roy Orbison’s career spanned more than four decades, but his personal life suffered great heartache.

The series includes contributions from David Lynch, Don McLean, Barbara Orbison, Joe Melson (the man credited with creating the Orbison sound and co-writer of Only The Lonely), Bill Dees (who co-wrote Oh Pretty Woman), band member Bob Moore and many more.

Kris Kristofferson's career is the stuff of legends. His songs have been recorded by over 450 artists, he has had over 17 Top 40 albums and won three Grammy Awards.

He has earned his status as living legend with songs such as Me and Bobby McGee, Help Me Make It Through The Night and For The Good Times.

Kris has also starred in over 90 films, including A Star Is Born alongside Barbra Streisand, for which he was awarded the Golden Globe for Best Actor.

High And Mighty

Tuesday 10:30 PM

Bee Gees star Robin Gibb, celebrates the story of the falsetto voice from church music to chart hits via castrati and doo-wop bands.

He uncovers falsetto singing in almost every style of music making including heavy metal, cosmic 70s, comedy song and power ballads.

Robin plays examples of all "high and mighty" music, and gives a master class on how the falsetto sound is made and why it is the most natural thing to do for a man who wants to reach the high notes.

This Week - Too Much Too Young

Paul Sexton tells the story of the 2 Tone record label and the band at its centre, The Specials.

In 1979, 2 Tone exploded on to the UK music scene. Led by The Specials, an invasion of ska bands had the whole country dancing. The Specials captured the times perfectly with a series of hit singles and albums that tackled social issues, unemployment and racism.

The 2 Tone label was the brainchild of Jerry Dammers of The Specials, whose plan was to create his own Coventry-based version of Motown Records.

Paul Sexton traces the fortunes of 2 Tone Records, from its early successes to its demise in 1985 and ponders their possible re-union. First broadcast on Radio 2.
