Michael Buble, "Crazy Love"

by googler@evpl on Wednesday, March 3 2010, 1:31pm

You may have caught Michael Buble singing after the closing ceremony of the Olympic Games. Not a hugely impressive performance for him, I thought -- the man has a remarkable voice and a classic style, in the mode of Sinatra and Darin. He does Vegas-style...

I Like Glen Campbell

by Shh_ImReading@evpl on Thursday, February 4 2010, 12:32pm

It's not easy for me to say I like Glen Campbell . I don't think people my age are supposed to like Glen Campbell. I guess I've thought for awhile that Rhinestone Cowboy is an alright song if I'm in the mood for old country music. Recently...

The Clash's "London Calling" Still Rocks!

by Bufkinite@evpl on Saturday, November 7 2009, 5:17pm

I have been listening to London Calling - the Clash's 1979 breakout album - on my morning drive recently, and wanted to blog about how fresh it still seems after 30 years. In fact, it's hard to believe that it was 30 years ago that I was first...

Wilco

by KickinLibrarian@evpl on Tuesday, July 28 2009, 4:18pm

I am not what some would call a music snob. Some of my friends will sit around discussing a particular artist or album using phrases describing the emotion the lyrics project or how the sound of this band was influenced by another. I am not qualified...

An unusual mix

by kiya@evpl on Wednesday, May 27 2009, 10:22am

I’ve been going through the CDs at Red Bank lately, trying to figure out how to fit more in, and have come across a couple I’ve enjoyed listening to. The first is Low Strung , which has 11 rock classics arranged for and performed by master...

The Drums, the drums, the drums! - The Ting Tings CD "We Started Nothing"

by Bufkinite@evpl on Wednesday, February 11 2009, 1:21pm

The Ting Tings have captivated my airplay time this passed week. A two-person punk/alt rock band with an upbeat sound and relentlessly danceable songs, the Ting Tings have what it takes to get people off their duffs and tapping their feet. Katie White...

Grammys weren't gasp all about the sales

by E-Ville Librarian@evpl on Monday, February 9 2009, 9:10am

Interesting night in the awards show department. Top of the list is Robert Plant and Alison Krauss for their haunting performance on Raising Sand . I gotta say this is a great album that, while old world, is alive in a real way. As with all other awards...

The Boss is Back

by this.is.not.here@evpl on Thursday, February 5 2009, 4:33pm

I'm not a sports fan at all but I always look forward to the Half-Time show and the commercials during the Super Bowl. I was so happy when I found out Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band would be performing at Half-Time '09. I was hoping Bruce...

Every once in awhile I stumble upon a hidden gem when looking for music. This happened recently when I was doing a search for the bands the Minus 5 and Loose Fur , both side projects for Wilco frontman Jeff Tweedy , and found Bridging the Distance: A...

"Ain't no party like my nana's tea party!" Flight of the Conchords albums are musically, comedically brilliant

by professor.knowsitall@evpl on Friday, December 19 2008, 3:13pm

Flight of the Conchords is an award-winning New Zealand comedy band, self-described as "New Zealand's fourth most popular guitar-based digi-bongo acapella-rap-funk-comedy folk duo". While a couple previous blog posts ( 1 2 ) talked about...
