Dueling Turntables..”Location,Location,Location”..The Rooftop Concert

by on 23. Jun, 2012 in dueling turntables, live, music

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uJuGxYnNxcM You probably remember these guys, had a lot of success in the 60′s and early 70′s; pretty fair musicians and song writers too. At this point, the rooftop was the probably the only,safest, place for them to perform a live, free concert. They do rock. From beatlesbible.com: The 42-minute show was recorded onto two [...]

Dueling Turntables… “Location, Location, Location”… Eddy Current Suppression Ring

by on 23. Jun, 2012 in dueling turntables, music

Many points deducted here for lack of live audio. But more essential is the energy and spirit. Gotta love the good ol’ fashioned, never out of style, rock’n’roll beach party! These Aussies can throw down with the best of them too. Favorite moment: the girl air drumming on lil’ sister’s head at 0:39 in… Rock. [...]

Dueling Turntables: Bad Ass Sidekicks – Comedy Version

by on 20. Jan, 2012 in comedy, dueling turntables

I’m a bit late to the game for this round, and I’ll concede defeat on musical grounds (and perhaps start a new battle?) by turning to my most favoritist of contemporary comedy pairings… the two Ls… Larry and Leon. For me at least, when these two share a scene the laughs per second roll off [...]

Dueling Turntables: Adrian Belew Trio – featuring Julie Slick

by on 03. Jan, 2012 in dueling turntables, music

To keep this merry-go-round a’ twirlin’… here’s Julie Slick more than keeping pace with a couple old pros. There’s of course the aforementioned human-smile-factory Mr. Belew, but also sitting in on drums is a one Danny Carey from Tool. The song is “Neurotica,” a KC tune I think I still have post-traumatic stress over from [...]

Dueling Turntables: “Women Rock”… Sleater-Kinney at Coachella

by on 31. Dec, 2011 in dueling turntables, music

I was struck by the Dr.’s wonderful Wonderland post. Hadn’t ever heard of her, and amazingly there would be countless others of immense talent bringing their voice and life to music. We who get to discover and enjoy really are the lucky ones. So women that rock? Well back in ’06 the ones that stole [...]

Dueling Turntables – ‘Soloist Youtuber’ – “The Fat Lady of Limbourg”

by on 30. Oct, 2011 in dueling turntables

Alright, a bit of a delayed response to Jet’s wonderful toy piano Kraftwerkin’, but non-the-less a relevant one I thinks. The stare-down between performer and viewer, such a crucial and strange bit of social interaction unique to the soloist youtubing experience. I like this lady’s commitment – to the song, to the viewer, the whole [...]

Dueling Big Bands: Kiyohiko Senba & His Haniwa All-Stars

by on 30. Sep, 2011 in dueling turntables, music

Years ago I came across this phenomenal bit of noise on the equally phenomenal Mutant Sounds blog. Didn’t quite know what to make of the music then, probably still don’t now, but always it remained in the back my brain, its residual frequencies never fully escaping the sound skull. This clip here just flat out [...]
