Don’t Call it a Blog-back (I been here for years) …plus…Black Mountain!

Ah yes…nothing like a classic L.L. Cool J quote lead off my first post (Radio and Bigger & Deffer are both classics btw, despite the man’s recent acting atrocities.)

So hey there music nerds, it’s me, NadaMucho.com. I’ve been reading this here NW Music Blog for months now and covering local music and culture over at my own site since 1997. I’m tickled pink to be contributing to this fine blog. 

I want to start out by telling you to GO BUY THE BLACK MOUNTAIN album. Like, NOW.

If you are a big phat dummy, like me, you missed their sold out show at Neumos earlier this year. Here’s hoping they are still playing small venues when they come back to Seattle.

Casey MacGill’s Blue 4 Trio

I saw them about a year ago on Capitol Hill, and I have to say it was a ton of fun.

If you’ve never experienced the fun of jazz, these guys are a great introduction. The harmonies, sense of humor, and sharp suits will trap and hold your attention. Listen here.

If you need a break from the same-old, and have even one Jazz cell in your whole body, see them. I have photos somewhere I’ll  add to this post when I find them.

SUN CITY GIRLS: FOLK SONGS OF THE RICH & EVIL AND IT’S TIE IN TO SOREN KIERKEGAARD’S “EITHE/OR”

 (Where are they now under random slapdash psych groove - demanding of the audience, “Don’t you see how short the distance is?  The nothing.  It’s not that the ruler isn’t there, or that it doesn’t correspond to a fact, or that this knowledge can’t have parcitcal and useful applications.  It’s just that we must admit”…”You think I’m kidding?”)…not to mention sick feeling’n'dehydrated and yes I guess I’m a pack through it today ’cause only bought that pack when Patrick [whose a 40-something ex-engineer of many years who goes to underground freak shows]…wait, why’d it break to some schizophrenic elf singing about gypsies,’n'what?  “I will give you daggers bright/And I will give you swords.”  “I will turn you onto death” => also references to little people’n'leprechauns, so maybe the elf concept makes sense.

All the way from Brunswick, Maine…

It’s the pulsating sac of sound! Or in other words, that’s my old friend Chris Felax’s live radio show broadcast from Bowdoin College in Brunswick, Maine. Chris spins new indie rock, electro, 80’s dance, pop culture snippets, new wave, techno and anything else that fits his fancy. Most music is so new that it hasn’t been released yet. Ever since I’ve known Chris (this goes back over 15 years ago) he’s been on the cutting edge of the music scene and owned more CDs than anyone else I knew in college (now having thousands of albums on his computer). He even taught me how to play Plush by the Stone Temple Pilots on the guitar. I know, I know, not cutting edge but I couldn’t resist mentioning. He also had this luscious long hair that would make the best of grunge rockers jealous. Oh, the early 90s! He was also in a short-lived band at the University of Michigan with Don Blum of The Von Bondies and Josh Tillingast of Transmission. Chris also goes by DJ Throatslice come October and has recorded his own home-brewed horror music made especially for Halloween and all things creepy that you can find on iTunes.

So lemme reel myself in here back to the point of this blog, the pulsating sac of sound! You should definitely check it out!

Station: WBOR 91.1 fm
