Pearl Harbor - Something About The Chaparrals

Piper and Sky are two sisters from Los Angeles, California. They, along with bassist Cody, play dreamy psych pop in a similar vein to their good friends and fellow Los Angelenos Best Coast. Their melodies wash over me like rays of warm sunshine…i just wish this had come out in mid July.

I Wanna Be In Your Cult - Pat McGlynn

Following a recent resurgence in Japan ex Bay City Roller Pat McGlynn has had all his early solo albums re-released on SONY/BMG in early 2009. We worked together along with his wife and vocalist Janine Bond in late 2008 on four new songs at the Offbeat studio for Pat McGlynn’s STORM earlier this year.

I wrote a track for him in March entitled I Wanna Be In Your Cult.  The track is currently getting lots of airplay in Japan and we are hoping for a hit record. All the tracks are featured on the Offbeat homepage mp3 player. Pat is great to work with and is a true music lover. He’s a gifted guitarist and songwriter

I met Pat back in 1984 when I was working on my solo album under the name ZED with vocalist Kirsty Anderson… I co-wrote two tracks with him and Les McKeown on the BAY CITY ROLLERS hit album Breakout. The title track was originally recorded at Jon Turner’s Palladium studio and also featured Anne Turner on backing vocals. and another on the album called You’ll Find Out was recorded at Wilf Smarties Planet Studios. Wiolf was the guy who discovered Wet Wet Wet and he produced their first hit single “Wishing I Was Lucky’. Apart from being a studio boffin Wilf was instrumental in my training as a recording engineer, giving me a break to work at Planet from 1983 until 1985.

The Jubilaires Form

Click on the pictures above to enlarge

Band: The Jubilaires
Year: 1956
Home: Chatham Ontario
Genre: Country
Formed: 1956

Members (L-R)
Lionel Richie – Drums
Oscar Demers – Rhythm guitar
Roland Lozon – Fiddle
Oscar Benoit – Lead guitar.

Circa: 1956 – 1961

  The Jubilaires have a long history that lasted through many decades.

 The original line-up was an instrumental group that put on their own dances in order to perform live.
They rented an old hall, which was originally for hay storage on the second floor of a horse stable in Pain Court, next to the Dover Hotel. Posters were made, a bouncer was hired and a refreshment booth was set up.

  For the very first dance, the boys cleaned the hall on Wednesday, decorated it on Thursday, played it on Friday night, and cleaned it up on Saturday. They took the profit of $18 and split it 6 ways. These go getters put on a dance every Friday from June 30th to November 30, 1956. The band had played 74 shows before 1960.
 
Sam Lozon did join the band as the singer and guitarist circa 1957, but retired from the band in the middle of 1960, as his love for music took him to another group.

 During performances, the band would usually spot two female singers. Doreen Lecuyer and Louella Demers (Oscar’s sister)

In 1960, The Myers Brothers joined the band resulting in a name change to “Myers Brothers and the Jubilaires (The)”.  After that long run, they became known as the Jubilaires II, followed by a brief and final line-up called “Front Page News”.

Dancing and Memorie5

Norwegian native, pop-indie artist, Annie, began DJing in Bergen, Norway in 1999, when she released the Madonna-sampled, underground smash single, “The Greatest Hit”, which gradually became popular in Norwegian and British nightclubs. Her career took off from that point and she went on to release “Anniemal” in 2004 with the production help/influence of fellow Norwegian band, Röyksopp, and England’s own Richard X. For the most part, however, Annie hasn’t impressed me much past a couple of her original tracks and outstanding remixes, yet, the songs of hers I like, I love!

• Annie – Anthonio

• Annie – Heartbeat

• Annie – The Greatest Hit (Extended Disco Mix)

A Handful Of Remixes

• Annie – Anthonio (Fred Falke Remix)

This Song Has Changed My Life and Appreciation Of Music (Ridiculous I know…But Truly)

• Annie – Anthonio (Designer Drugs Remix)

These 2 Are Alright…

• Annie – Heartbeats (MSTRKRFT Remix)

• Annie – Heartbeats (Röyksopp’s  Mindre Tilgjengelige Remix)

Lessons from Do They Know It's Christmas Time

1. At Christmas time, there truly is no “need to be afraid.” It’s best to reserve your fears for New Year’s Day, when a glitch of unknown origin in computers around the world will set the world back to the Bronze Age.

2. This Christmas time, Band Aid may want to seriously rethink its decision to “let in light and banish shade” for people living under the harsh and unforgiving Ethiopian sun.

3. When they’re in their “world of plenty” and “having fun”, “it’s hard” for Band Aid to “say a prayer for the other ones”. Praying = hard!

4. If the only water flowing tastes like the “bitter sting of tears”, it’s because your local authorities have chosen the world’s least efficient method of augmenting your water supply.

5. Although the only Christmas bells in Ethiopia are the “clanging chimes of doom”, it doesn’t mean they can’t belt out a mean, suicide-inducing “Jingle Bell Rock”.

6. It’s hard to argue with Bono when he commands you to “thank God” it’s the Ethiopians who are dying of hunger “instead of you” unless you are Ethopian or otherwise dying of hunger.

7. “There won’t be snow in Africa this Christmas time.” But thanks to cataclysmic global weather events, all of Africa will be under 100 feet of snow in 2030!

8. Because “nothing ever grows” and “no rain or rivers flow” in Africa, Disney ought to more accurately portray Tarzan and the Lion King as shuffling about in a howling desert of pain and death.

9. This Christmas time, if you truly feel the need to “raise your glass” to poor people dying “underneath that burning sun”, be sure to accompany your gesture with loud, maniacal laughter. (edf)
