The Trick Intro

I love watching a great band live, left hand with my bottle of beer by my waist, thumb hooked into my pants pocket. Legs shoulder width apart, knees slightly bent. Right hand is free to tap out the beat. And to find the beat, its not normally too difficult when watching a rock band. Unless they get you on the intro.

1. The act of starting a song by non-percussive instruments, establishing a beat, then bringing in the drums on the ‘off-beat’.

I’ll can only locate this one example, but I know there are more.

Check it out. Play the song and start tapping the beat.

‘Between Us And Them‘ by The Moving Units

Did it get you???

The Walkmen

The Walkmen

4 things about a band called The Walkmen.

1. Explosive rock band from New York getting ready to tour their 3 full length record.
2. While arm wrestling, lead singer Hamilton Leithauser snapped guitarist/pianist Paul Maroon’s arm just after finishing recording of ‘Bows and Arrows‘.
3. They’ll be playing a show in Toronto, January 28th at Lees Palace. Testing out material from the next record.

4. The song ‘Bows and Arrows’ is one of the best songs to ever see live……

Last.fm

This is my first post….. so I’m not going to make it too fancy.? I thought I would just mention a cool site out there on the net that helps recommend new music.? Its called Last FM.

You download free software which allows you to stream music on to your computer. You start the program by typing in a band that you like, and it spits out recommendations based on a variety of factors (audio scrobbler plugins, last.fm user opinions and witchcraft).

When you type in Caribou, the system recommends bands like Animal Collective, Four Tet, M83 and LCD Soundsystem (to name a few).
