“Alison” by Elvis Costello – Chords, Tabs, & How to Play
By Chris Moore: RATING: 4 / 5 stars With all the confidence and cohesion that comes across on Live at Hollywood High , it is difficult to believe that this is a document of a performance that took place only a year after Elvis Costello’s debut album was released. One might think that a live album recorded so early in an artist’s career would be a study in a live act finding their sound, featuring a young group aspiring to greatness and working out the kinks along the way. The opposite is true. It is clear that, by 1978, Elvis Costello and the Attractions had been working together closely enough to forge a sound all their own, and one that sounds like it had been planned, rehearsed, and perfected over years of live performances

By: Beyond Embedded: Do laptops cut it on stage? | Current Music Blog
By Jim Fusco: And a Happy New Year to you- I’m Jim Fusco back for another year of the Laptop Sessions. I’m also back with Number 200! That’s right, tonight’s video is my 200th and it kicks off a brand new year of great acoustic cover song music videos here on the most popular music blog that isn’t corporately-owned…well, I can’t substantiate that claim… Anyway, I figured I’d kick the New Year and new decade off right with a New Year’s song in “Ding Dong Ding Dong”, a hit single off of George Harrison’s Dark Horse album. If you’ve heard the original version of this song, you probably wondered why George’s voice sounded so raw and raspy. No, he wasn’t taking vocal cues from his pal (and future Traveling Wilburys member) Bob Dylan. He was actually suffering from a terrible break-up when his wife ran off with his best friend, Eric Clapton. It forced the two friends to not speak for a long time (yes, significant others can change people and break friends apart, that’s for sure), but eventually they reconciled…once she and Eric broke up, too! That’s a fairytale friendship story if I ever heard one. The title track from Dark Horse also features George’s gravelly vocals and it’s actually a nice tool he uses well on these somewhat bitter songs. I mean, George was always one to write songs against the “establishment” (like “Taxman”, “Not Guilty”, and “Devil’s Radio”), but this time, it was a more personal fight. One can only think that “ringing out the old and bringing in the new” has to be correlated to his estranged wife leaving the picture
For Death Cab for Cutie chords & lyrics, CLICK HERE ! By Chris Moore: Hello and welcome to the first all-new Laptop Session of 2010! It is my pleasure to kick off another great year here for the best cover song music video blog on the Internet today. This past year has indeed been a year of changes, of many comings and goings for most of us here, and now we’re setting out to make this the best year yet. There’s a lot to live up to, given the past two years and more of contributions. Still, I think we’re up to it.
Here is the original post:
“The New Year” (Death Cab for Cutie acoustic rock cover song) – The Laptop Sessions
“The New Year” Death Cab for Cutie (Capo 3rd fret) C So this is the New Year, And I don’t feel any different The clanking of crystal C F Explosions off in the distance, off in the distance… F - G F - G C So this is the New Year, And I have no resolutions For self-assigned pennance For problems with easy solutions F So everybody put your best shirt and dress on G Let’s make believe that we are wealthy for just this once F Lighting firecrackers off on the front lawn G As thirty dialogues bleed into one… I wish the world was flat like the old days, Then we could travel just by folding the map.

** This is the fifth in a five part series of music reviews, counting down from the #5 to the #1 albums of the decade, 2000-2009. As of today, the #1 album has been revealed, along with the complete Weekend Review picks for the Top Thirty Albums of the Decade! ** By Chris Moore: RATING: 5/5 stars Knowing that Wallflowers frontman Jakob Dylan is son of THE Bob Dylan has raised a certain bar for his career in the music industry. And he operates, for the most part, within the confines of genres that his father helped to define — folk/country rock, rock and roll, and most recently on his solo album, solo acoustic music. Especially considering how high that certain aforementioned bar is, the respect I have for Jakob Dylan’s style of songwriting and producing is all the more significant.

The Wallflowers’ “Red Letter Days” (2002) – The Weekend Review
By Chris Moore: This is the moment we’ve all been waiting for… The unveiling of the Weekend Review’s picks for the top ten rock albums of the 2000’s. For anyone who loves music — who loves albums — as much as I do, the artists and album titles that follow are among the best offerings in the past ten years. Even in a decade that saw a marked decline in physical album sales and an increasing number of rock fans suggesting that good music hasn’t been made for ten, twenty, or more years, these albums are proof positive of the opposite.

(#1-10) – The 50 Best Rock Albums of the Decade, 2000-2009
By Chris Moore: I’m glad you’ve decided to tune in once again for what is the penultimate segment of the Weekend Review’s list of “The 50 Best Rock Albums of the Decade, 2000-2009.” As we draw nearer and nearer to the top picks of the past ten years, I’ve found myself returning to not only the music on this list, but also to the all-time great albums in rock music history. I just wrapped up a rotation of the Beach Boys’ 1971 classic Surf’s Up , and I continue to stand in awe of the variety, the flow, and the conceptual focus of this record. Decades have passed, but the excellence of this album has not. As I’ve compiled this list, I’ve been doing a lot of thinking, specifically wondering which albums that I love now will be the ones that I will dial up in years to come. Which albums will I play ten, twenty, thirty years from now and still experience the same emotions as I listen? For that matter, which albums will offer up new insights and feelings, even after double or triple digits worth of plays? With all this in mind, I present to you my #11-20 albums of the 2000’s. Don’t forget to hurry back tomorrow for not only the top ten list, but also the full Weekend Review article about the Number One Best Rock Album of the Decade

(#11-20) – The 50 Best Rock Albums of the Decade, 2000-2009
By Chris Moore: I was the first to scoff at early negative reviews of the new Weezer album. It seemed there was an inordinate number of swipes at the admittedly odd title, Raditude . After all, I reasoned, Rivers Cuomo hasn’t exactly built his career by being serious. So, it was with high hopes that I started listening to Raditude . From the opening track — “(If You’re Wondering If I Want You To) I Want You To” — it became immediately apparent that the lyrics would be juvenile.

By Jim Fusco: Welcome to another edition of “Ask the Musician” with me, Jim Fusco! In lieu of recording another video tonight (I’m anxiously awaiting to record my first HD video, hopefully next week), I decided to finally respond to an inquiry I got on YouTube about how to record a multi-track song separately and still have it come out right in the end. The YouTube user writes: I have one big problem. When we record, we obviously record them in different parts (by that, I mean we record the instruments separately). But, we can’t record them at the same time and we have problems recording them apart. When we try to mix them, something gets messed-up and we have to record over again and again. Have any tips? Why yes, I do! People like Brian Wilson (of the Beach Boys) had many musicians at their fingertips. So, it was easy to get all these professional musicians in the same room to record a track. And these studio musicians never mess up. They are the cream of the crop, so it was easy to say, “Play this,” and watch it get done.

I’ve been primarily interested in performance for some time, but recently decided to start exploring how to create an audience connection for electronic music that doesn’t revolve around dance. Here’s my take… (Western) audiences for electronic performances don’t have appropriate internal proxies to engage in those performances as they would with traditional musicians. As Phineus said up above… “Everyone has sat in front of a piano at one time or another, or tried to strum a guitar…” So there is an internal model that plays out in the mind of the (western) audience member, in a sense ‘completing’ the performance, giving an inner sense of how much the performer’s actions are to be appreciated, so to speak.
