GUEST ARTIST ON THE TIME MACHINE: ADAM MARSLAND AND HIS BANGLES MOOD

Rocker Adam Marsland drops by in a reflective mood.

I've got that fall feeling lately -- that beautiful melancholy that makes you look back and forward simultaneously, being aware of what's gone by and bringing the desire to accomplish more.

THE MORNING BENDERS: BIG ECHO, IN "NOTHING NOT NEW"

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. )

IN NOTES

DENNIS WILSON SOLO RECORDINGS

No one would have expected that the middle of the Wilson brothers would blossom like he did.
For the first few years, Dennis was seen as the Beach Boys pin up.
The epitome of Sixties West Coast cool.
The only surfer in the Beach Boys.
The good looking boy who sat behind his drums, smiling at the girls and getting them wild shaking his long blond hair.

FORMER HEAVY BLINKERS FRONT-MAN EMERGES AS ANDREW WATT AND THE GLORY GLORY FOR NEW FULL-LENGTH

While Halifax's the Heavy Blinkers haven't given us much to work with recently, former co-front-man Andrew Watt is set to release his debut solo album on March 16.
Watt, who departed from the orchestral-pop band in 2008, now leads Andrew Watt and the Glory Glory, and has supposedly channelled the sound of Brian Wilson in what a press release calls “an orchestral pop gem,” titled First Day of Summer Life.

BE MY BABY

One of the defining rock ‘n roll songs of the 1960s – a song notable for its role in advancing a new sound that changed pop music – is the Ronettes’ 1963 blockbuster, “Be My Baby.”
It was sung by three young girls from New York’s Spanish Harlem...

BROKEN BELLS - REVIEW

We check out the new album from Danger Mouse and The Shin's James Mercer.

Everybody's talking about Broken Bells, the high-profile musical collaboration between Brian "Danger Mouse" Burton, producer and co-founder of Gnarls Barkley, and James Mercer, lead singer and guitarist of The Shins. The indie scene has been buzzing about the duo's self-titled release for months. They've even been dubbed "the new Postal Service." Can Broken Bells live up to the hype?

TYGERS' FOLLOW-UP RECORD WAS 40 YEARS IN THE MAKING

Releasing a solid debut album is one of the tougher accomplishments in the music industry.
The only thing more difficult, it seems, is making a good sophomore disc.
The old saying in the recording industry holds that bands have "a lifetime to make the first record and six weeks to make the second."

The Tygers broke that mold ... and it only took 40 years.

TWO-LANE BLACKTOP ZOOMS INTO SPIRIT SQUARE

It was supposed to be the next Easy Rider, and Esquire declared it “the movie of the year” before it had even been released. Instead, 1971’s Two-Lane Blacktop divided critics and was skipped by audiences, resulting in a hasty retreat from the moviegoing consciousness.
Today, it’s regarded as a minor classic by many and a cult flick by all, and now local audiences have the opportunity to lap up what’s long been regarded as one of the quintessential American road movies.
