Yeah, I've blogged about this song (from Tip's The Renaissance) before -- it happens to be my most-played track of the year. Just ask my iTunes. But it's weird that a video wasn't released until today. Did they forget about it until now? Or do they need an extra little bit of online buzz to help sales of Tip's long-shelved Kamaal the Abstract album?
Whatever it is, I'm glad we have footage of these two artists dancin' and havin' fun. I think this is one of Norah's best and most nuanced vocals ever. Enjoy again and again.
Idol Records prez Erv Karwelis tells me The Crash That Took Me's upcoming sophomore CD is "amazing." One thing's for sure -- that's one amazing album cover. The record's street date is Nov. 10, with a release show planned for Nov. 7 at Sons of Hermann.
Press release:
CHLORINE COLORED EYES
The Crash That Took Me's sophomore record is a wonderland of sonic swirls, a roller coaster ride of emotional and psychedelic landscapes. On Chlorine Colored Eyes The Crash has captured beautiful dynamics ranging from a single mellotron to a full wall of sound and have picked up where the Beatles left off with the tape experimentation from their psychedelic stint in the late 60s, also reverting back to other experimental methods on tape machines such as (A.D.T.) automatic double tracking for all the vocals, varied speed, reverse and many other methods. The band also spent time recording at a paper machine factory to capture the repetition and sounds coming out of the factory.
The Crash have tapped into the tension and beauty of the late sixties lyrically and sonically, but still falling down the worm hole to evolve into something unique of their own.
The record was recorded produced and mixed by Casey Diiorio at "Vintage Heavy" Valve Studios, Dallas TX. Recorded analog to 2" tape mixed down to 1/2" and mastered by Sean Magee (Beatles Mono box set) at Abbey Road Studios in London,

I was just informed that the firm that operated PM Lounge and Poolside at the Joule is resigning from that gig, wanting to turn it over to another team. Called todd.too, the entertainment and hospitality company also designed and developed PM. What, if anything, will this mean to PM and Poolside? Nothing, I hope, but I guess we'll just have to wait and see ...

In case you've never been or heard of Screams, it's a mini amusement park, except instead of rides, it has five haunted attractions. You can traipse through them as often as you like, so a visit to Screams can easily fill an evening with scares. What're you waiting for?

M is for Midway, the noisy, shiny, wild, bright, crazy, fantastic section of the fair that is full of rides and games. Take a spin on the carousel or wander through a fun house.

As far as the ride with the Magnum P.I. theme, I'm not quite sure what the carnies were thinking. Does anyone under 25 yrs old even know who Tom Selleck is? Maybe they are going for the cougar demographic on that one.
