CHESS KING (WILLIE DIXON)

The story goes that in 1964, when the Rolling Stones visited Chicago to record at Chess studios, they were startled to recognize the Chess label's biggest star, Muddy Waters, helping to load in their gear.
On the same visit the band encountered Waters's producer Willie Dixon, whose behavior similarly belied his already legendary status with blues fans: he tried to sell the group some of his songs.

KAFM NOTES: MOST PRODUCTIVE

Psst! Wanna know a surefire way to tell if your friend is a music nerd?

Ask him or her: “Who's your favorite record producer?”

Let's be honest -- the average Joe or Jane won't know what a record producer does, let alone could tell you who his/her favorite was.

HOW ONE BAND MAY HAVE FINALLY KILLED OFF THE SELF-TRIBUTE TREND

Everything good eventually falls apart. Chinua Achebe obviously had something else in mind when the book I’ve sort of stolen my opening statement from was published in 1958, because if I remember correctly, he was writing not of the recent trend of bands performing their “classic” albums in full, but rather of Nigerian tribal life.

THE MORNING BENDERS HEAD EAST AND PAIR WITH A GRIZZLY BEAR

Is it possible to make California pop while living in New York?
The Morning Benders, whose breezy melodies have received comparisons to California dreamers the Beach Boys and the Mamas and the Papas, recently tossed their knapsacks over their shoulders, took one last whiff of Telegraph Avenue's pungent patchouli scent, and left Berkeley for the wilds of Brooklyn.

THE BESNARD LAKES - THE BESNARD LAKES ARE THE ROARING NIGHT (JAGJAGUWAR) 15/03/10

Will wash over you before you’ve even realised it’s begun...

Husband and wife songwriting team Jace Lasek and Olga Goreas, along with a couple of other band members, form Montreal’s The Besnard Lakes, who have been quietly crafting ethereal, twisted guitar rock to do some serious navel-gazing to since the early part of the millennium.

Obviously, summer ain't no big deal in Phoenix.

No one here actually looks forward to the dreadful season.
But everywhere else (including my native Midwest), people have had more than enough winter by this point, and are waiting for the sun to shine.

SHE & HIM

Some people seem to be good at everything. It can be annoying.

But when it comes to actress, songwriter, singer, and burgeoning origami artist (explanation below) Zooey Deschanel, it's not so grating.
Whether starring in movies like (500) Days of Summer or partnering with M. Ward for their retro-pop project She & Him, Deschanel exudes a modest likability.
Even though she's got every right to show off, she doesn't.

This carried through to a recent interview with Deschanel and Ward in a downtown Manhattan hotel.

EXCEPTIONAL MUSIC FROM GRIZZLY BEAR

They’ve toured with Radiohead, been praised by Jay-Z and are adored by the music press.

But until recently, Brooklyn band Grizzly Bear were still a largely unknown beast outside the art-rock community.

However, with their third album Veckatimest proving a crossover hit, the four-piece came to the Roundhouse for the second of two sold-out shows.

MISSISSIPPI SHEIKS TRIBUTE CONCERT LURES FAMED COMPOSER/ARRANGER ON MAIDEN VOYAGE TO CANADA

VANCOUVER -- Van Dyke Parks grew up in Mississippi, home of famous country and blues string band the Mississippi Sheiks.

From 1930 to 1935, in the heart of the Great Depression, the Sheiks created the soundtrack to an era, defining a genre that would lay the foundation for a multitude of followers — from Robert Johnson to Nat King Cole, Bob Dylan and Jack White — and would eventually influence every aspect of rock ’n’ roll.
(Agenda: Capilano University Performing Arts Theatre, on March 13 and 14. )
