      Back in the 90s and early 00s, Letters to Cleo were all over the teen movie soundtracks of the era—The Craft, Josie and the Pussycats and 10 Things I Hate About You. They provided the songs that made these teen dramas resonate that much deeper. Formed in 1990 and led by Kay Hanley, the six-piece ermerged from Boston’s burgeoning alt-rock scene. The indie outfit most famously recorded a cover of Cheap Trick’s “I Want You to Want Me,” which would eventually find its way to the 10 Things I Hate About You soundtrack.

          LATEST UPDATE 8/6 – Chick Corea vs. Steve Vai – The Rumble

          GUITAR: Fabysk

          KEYS: EmotionalFlight

           

          The concept was to bring together two bands in a dueling musical atmosphere. In the film “Westside Story”, “Rumble” is sort of the do-or-die dance that takes place between the Jets and the Sharks. The arrangement was done so 2 bands would face each other. The bands were Chick Corea’s Elektric Band (Chick Corea – keyboards, Dave Weckl – drums, Frank Gambale – guitar, Jimmy Earl – bass, Eric Marienthal – saxophone) vs. Steve Vai’s Monsters (Steve Vai – guitar, Simon Phillips – drums, John Pena – bass, David Paich – keyboards, Lenny Castro – percussion.)

           

          Thanks to MrBurpler for the video preview and drum review!

              I failed to acknowledge my 5 year charting anniversary last year so I might as well do something this year. And why not update something from my earliest days.

                LATEST UPDATE 8/11 – Weyes Blood – Seven Words

                6oXJb1j.jpg

                As the enchanting Weyes Blood, Natalie Mering has marked cherished moments of human transition with her consistently mind-bending psychedelic folk. Upon the release of ‘Front Row Seat To Earth‘, the second Weyes Blood full-length, Mering is approaching a chapter of incandescent awakening – again marking the timeless elements of her beguiling landscape yet on this occasion with an eye to the future rather than the reminiscent past.
                ‘Seven Words‘ is a masterful collection of poetic melancholy and soul-expressing purity. The rich tradition in Mering’s voice has never been clearer, bursting from within the subtle sparsity of the arrangement. The cinematic pace softens the blow of the most human of realisations – the awareness of falling out of love.
                Mering beautifully takes account of one of life’s wrenching tasks, the procession of learning to live without the person you once loved. The noticeably short use of verse the embodiment of numbness and disorientation – matched with the sensual lucidity of the composition to create the perception of anguish in confusion. With ‘Seven Words’, Mering is the fractured spirit of starting afresh – in magnificent standard.

                    LATEST UPDATE 8/13 – Roger Daltrey – Under a Raging Moon

                    pXIDzNi.jpg

                    GUITAR/BASS: bsbloom

                    “Under A Raging Moon”, released in September 1985, amounted to a homecoming in more ways than one. Daltrey faced both his legacy and his lingering regard for the Who head on, with the album including a song in tribute to his fallen bandmate Keith Moon. The idea of addressing Moon’s sudden passing made sense. But Daltrey ultimately did something on a much grander scale, fashioning a sweeping title track that included a galaxy of star drummers: Roger Taylor, Cozy Powell, Stewart Copeland, Zak Starkey, Carl Palmer and others.
                    “It’s about a Who show,” Daltrey told the Associated Press. “It was the producer’s idea to put seven drummers on the end. It seemed like an outrageous Kit Lambert [the Who’s original producer] stroke from the old days, so I said, ‘Let’s go with it.’ It has come out exactly how I wanted it, with that lovely live feeling about it. Almost all of the things that happened in a Who show are in one song, even down to little things like it almost goes a bit out of a sync toward the end.”
                    drummers in order of performance:
                    Martin Chambers
                    Roger Taylor
                    Cozy Powell
                    Stewart Copeland
                    Zak Starkey
                    Carl Palmer
                    Mark Brzezicki

                            I am curious, why did you go with the Buffalo version over the Sheik Yerbouti version?

                              Because I prefer it to that one. Vinnie Colaiuta on drums destroys Terry Bozio anyday IMO. I also did “Broken Hearts are for Assholes” from Buffalo 80 for the same reasons.
