Soul Power
I've been waiting some time now for the Soul Power documentary to reach DVD. I picked up a copy in the city and watched it closely last night. Wow! Great footage and incredible sound. My only gripe is about the shortage of concert footage...I want more of Franco, OK Jazz, Tabu Ley, Afrisa, Miriam Makeba, Manu Dibango, Hugh Masekela and others. Apparently there is another 12 hours of concert

Book Notes - Lydia Millet ("Love in Infant Monkeys")
In the Book Notes series, authors create and discuss a music playlist that relates in some way to their recently published book.
Lydia Millet is one of my favorite writers, and her first collection of short fiction, Love in Infant Monkeys marries celebrities with animals to great effect. These keenly written interactions of human and animal move these tales forward and offer rare insights into the human psyche as well as our celebrity-obsessed culture.
The Los Angeles Times wrote of the book:
"Lydia Millet's first collection of short fiction, "Love in Infant Monkeys" (Soft Skull: 178 pp., $13.95 paper), is a superb book. Featuring 10 stories -- all of which revolve in some sense around the interaction of animals and famous people -- it asks all sorts of uncomfortable questions: about ourselves, about the world around us, about the very essence of being, of belonging, of what it means to exist.

A Strange Arrangement: Mayer Hawthorne
Mayer Hawthorne (Andrew Mayer Cohen, 1979, Ann Arbor, Michigan) haalt zijn inspiratie uit de muziek van Curtis Mayfield en het legendarische Motown-productietrio Lamont Dozier, Brian Holland en Eddie Holland Jr.
Zijn muziek klinkt alsof die is opgenomen in de glorietijd van Motown tussen 1966 en 1974. De term voor zijn muziek schijnt 'New School Soul' te zijn. Oude soul in een nieuw jasje, wat we ook kennen van bijvoorbeeld Mark Ronson...
De zanger en producer speelt op zijn debuutalbum "A Strange Arrangement" met hetzelfde gemak bas, drum, gitaar, klarinet, piano en glockenspiel. Hawthorne is een multi-instrumentalist en hij tekent ook voor de productie. Hij is in zijn eentje verantwoordelijk voor één van de beste soulplaten in jaren. Hij brengt hiermee meteen een overtuigend eerbetoon aan het muzikale erfgoed van Detroit.
Zijn eerste single "Maybe So, Maybe No" verscheen op hartvormig rood vinyl, want hij bezingt De Liefde in al haar facetten. Er mag ook geklaagd en gehuild worden. Romantiek is nooit ver weg. En het pad is geplaveid met gebroken harten...
