Stu’s Track Of The Week 17/06/16

So it’s that time again for my track of the week and this week I have gone for Slipknot – Wait And Bleed. This track comes from the bands debut self titled album released back in 1999 and peaked at number 34 on the American Billboard Hot Mainstream Rock Tracks Chart. 

The meaning behind the song is as follows.

“Wait and Bleed” is about a man who keeps getting repetitive black and white dreams about laying in a bathtub full of his own blood with his wrists cut. One day, the man wakes up and sees that his dreams have become a reality, but he doesn’t want to believe it and he attempts to fall back asleep again.

There are two music videos for “Wait and Bleed”; the first, directed by Thomas Mignone, features footage of a live performance of the song filmed during the band’s appearance at Ozzfest on September 1, 1999 with the studio track overdubbed. The second, known as the “Claymation version”, depicts all nine band members as small, animated, doll-like creatures inside a laboratory inhabited by a man who is attempting to catch them. Eventually, the band cause the man to fall over and be stung by insects dropping from a jar. As the band looks over the man, Chris Fehn‘s doll covers him in fuel before seeing all 9 band members looking at him, Shawn Crahan then sets the man alight, killing him.

So here we are turn up loud and bang your head Maggots to Slipknot – Wait And Bleed

An Interview With Andy Lundman Of Cliff Diver

One of the great things about running a pop culture site, is rather than trying to find the breaking news, sometimes the news comes to you. I was contacted by Andy Lundman is regards to the release of his latest EP and his new project Cliff Diver.

I agreed to do not only a quick q&a with Andy but also get a sneak peak and listen to his new EP and promote it on the site.

Andy is a seasoned musician from Seattle who learnt his trade in a band called Peace Mercutio, and this experience comes across in the first couple of notes in the first track.

Upon playing the first track ‘Miss You‘ what greeted me was a catchy and haunting intro followed by exceptional clean and crisp vocals similar to that of Dashboard Confessional lead singer Chris Carrabba and Yellowcard lead singer Ryan Key. As the first track progressed I found myself not only humming along to the track but also tapping my feet in beat.

The second track titled ‘You Said‘ is a contrast to the melodic tunes of the first track with an upbeat intro that is packed full of power but still retains the feel of the first track.

The third track titled ‘Forever And A Day‘ has me bobbing my head along to the intro from the first couple of notes and is truly an exhibition of Andy’s vocal range and talent. This was my favourite track of the EP.

The final track titled ‘Dress Me Down‘ is again a wild ride through Andy’s impressive vocal range, with country elements scattered throughout.

In summary I’d have to say that the EP was a brilliant debut solo work from a seasoned professional and it clearly shows. What also comes across in the music is his passion and heart for the industry and love to share his work with you.

 A truly catchy song by an awesome guy! Let’s find out a little more about the man by the music Andy Lundman.

---

 

1) How did you get into music?

I grew up in a very musical family. My dad always song around the house and my mom played piano. My grandparents all played instruments at some point in their lives so it was always around. I grew up in a house with a lot of “oldies” playing constantly and I eventually tried to start a band with my cousin who eventually married one of my now former band mates. You could say it’s in the family.

2) How would you describe your musical style?

I’m a pop punk/emo kid at heart so those influences will always be under the surface somewhere. But with Cliff Diver, I would say if Chris Carrabba and Damien Rice put their DNA together and it created a less talented child, you would get something close to what I’ve been writing. I’m drawn to songwriters who are able to take you on a journey and when you listen, you get taken on a journey through what they were going through and you feel it. That’s what blows my hair back so that’s what I try to create with my music.

3) Your new EP ‘Make It Count’ was released on the 10^th of June, can you tell us a little about what went into it?

My last band, Peace Mercutio, was a very heavily pop punk influenced band, which was my heart and I still love it, but I wanted to depart from the full band for a short time and create something a little more introspective and emo-y if that makes sense. I was going through kind of crisis of identity and changing of plans with PM breaking up and I needed to explore that, especially lyrically. I think you can hear the pain a bit in the songs because I put a lot of myself, and what I was going through, into all aspects both musically and lyrically. It was definitely an emotional time and very therapeutic.

4) Who would you say is your biggest influence musically and who did you listen to growing up?

I grew up listening to a ton of pop punk. MxPx was and still is my favorite band. Anberlin jumped up the ranks and forced me to question MxPx’s position in that so they’re kind of even there.  Haha! Being from the “Drive Thru Records” era and the golden age of T&N, Dashboard, The Early November, Mae, mewithoutYou, Brand New, TBS, Thrice, and all of that. I can’t get enough of that era as a whole. That’s the golden era for me.

I love singer songwriters like Damien Rice, Mat Kearney, Matt Nathanson, Sufjan Stevens, and “new” to the scene Tyson Montsenbocker’s record “Letters to lost loves” is incredible as well.

Lately though, The Hotelier is blowing my mind as well as Into It. Over It.

As you can see, I’m all over the board. I connect with so much.

5) If you could duet with anyone person, dead or alive, who would it be and why?

That’s such a great question! Probably John Foreman from Switchfoot. That band is like a fine wine and keeps putting out incredible music. Plus I love his solo stuff as well as Fiction Family. All great stuff, plus I think he’d teach me to surf on breaks in the studio. Haha!

6) You’re currently an audio visual technician for cancer charity Fred Hutch, can you tell us how this came about it?

After Peace Mercutio got back from touring with Emery, This Wild Life, and the Classic Crime, I needed to get a job again and pay some bills. I’ve been in the AV industry for 10+ years from doing front of house sound at venues to corporate AV at The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, so I naturally went back to that. What you have the most experience in pays you the best money and working in a non-profit environment is so rewarding and if I’m not on the road I’d prefer to be working in an environment like that where I’m working for something that’s greater than myself. My buddy Brett Durnell who plays lead guitar in the Seattle progressive amazing band Life As Cinema was the manager at Fred Hutch so he hired me on there. If

7) What can we expect to see from you in the remaining months of 2016 going forward into 2017?

I have plans for a series of “perspective” based videos for each of the songs on the EP that I’m planning on getting out before the year-end. I’d like to get back on the road, at the very least, in the Pacific Northwest or a quick run down the west coast. I’m also constantly writing new stuff and I’m planning on bringing more elements to the next release and get more of a full band vibe. I can’t get away from my roots for too long. I long to push the energy, but it’ll still keep a vibey sound for sure. It’s gotta groove.

8) Tell our readers one fun fact about yourselves that we may not know?

A fun fact…I’m originally from Wisconsin and for a short time (and hopefully again soon) I did some sports writing for a Wisconsin sports site titletownsoundoff.com covering The University of Wisconsin Badgers football for a couple seasons as well as a few feature spots for some Green Bay Packers related material. I’m a huge Badger and Packer fan.

9) Finally what advice would you have for upcoming musicians?

Be authentic. Don’t force yourself to write something just because it’s the “cool” sound right now. People’s “BS meters” are great and they will expose you. Plus, people want to connect with you and what you’re writing.

If you hang out with a “big” band when their in town and you’re trying to get something from them, they can see if from a mile away. They see it in every city. Just hang and buy them a beer. Bands take out their friends on tour. That’s how it works.

Also, don’t be afraid to take breaks. Feel it. Do what comes natural.

Stu’s Track Of The Week 09/06/16

This weeks track of the week  comes from Rise Against and the song Prayer Of The Refugee from the album ‘The Sufferer & The Witness’.

The song begins with a conversation between a refugee and his son. The refugee talks about the good life he, and his people, once had, but no longer do. The chorus is the refugee calling out, saying not to help him, as carrying himself is all he has left. He says that all those who have tried to “help” in the past have merely let him down again.

The next verse is about how these refugees are quietly trying to change the world in the background, in subtle ways. In the final verse, he tells the son to step out and change the world for the better.

The song was certified platinum on the 15th of July 2013 making it the second song from the band to go platinum after Savior. The song also appeared on Guitar Hero III Legends Of Rock as a bonus track and Rock Band along side 2 more of the bands songs Savior and Re-Education (Through Labor).

So here is it my track of the week Rise Against – Prayer Of The Refugee

Who Lives In A Pineapple, On The Stage, Sponge Bob Squarepants!

A SpongeBob musical has been announced recently starring an up and coming actor named Ethan Slater. Ethan is going to play SpongeBob in what looks to be a humanized version of SpongeBob.

The cast looks pretty good for a show about a television show about anthropomorphized sea creatures.  As I stated before Ethan Slater plays SpongeBob, Lilli Cooper plays Sandy, Danny Skinner plays Patrick Star, and Gavin Lee plays Squidward. Along with Carlos Lopez as Mr.Krabs and Nick Blaemire as Plankton.

I am curious to see how they look fully, as these photos cut off the whole look. It looks like it will be a fantastic show based on what they have said so far. As usual it involves wacky antics and crazy characters doing what they do best with SpongeBob coming in to save the day as he usually does.

The music for the show is going to be incredible as it has the some of the greatest singers writing and performing for it. From Steven Tyler, to Cyndi Lauper, and even the late great David Bowie. Having these powerhouses creating music like they would for this show should bring it over the top.

This show will go up for the 2016-2017 season, hopefully it does well because shows based on animation are often just the worst. At least it doesn’t have any aerial acrobatics like the Spiderman musical…

Here’s hoping this musical doesn’t disappoint. I’m excited to see  how it is received and hope they don’t mangle a series that has literally been around for 17 years with one stage show. Though SpongeBob may not be number one any more, it deserves respect as this sponge is this generation’s Bugs Bunny.

On This Day 9th June 2016

Welcome back to this weeks edition of On This Day for the 9th June, this week we kick off in 1963 with Roy Orbison, Bob Dylan, Pink Floyd, Bruce Springsteen, Cyndi Lauper and M.C. Hammer featuring in this weeks edition.

1963

🎙 The Beatles on the last night of their tour with Roy Orbison, performed at King George’s Hall, Blackburn, Lancashire. It was during this tour that The Beatles’ fans started throwing jelly babies at them while they were on stage, after an off-the-cuff remark on television that George Harrison enjoyed eating them.

1964

🎙 During an evening session Bob Dylan recorded ‘Mr. Tambourine Man‘ at Columbia Recording Studios in New York City. This was the first session for Another Side Of Bob Dylan, which saw Dylan recording fourteen original compositions that night. The Byrds later recorded a version of ‘Mr. Tambourine‘ Man that was released as their first single and reached No.1 on both the US & UK Charts. The Byrds‘ recording of the song was influential in initiating the musical subgenre of folk-rock, leading many contemporary bands to mimic its fusion of jangly guitars and intellectual lyrics in the wake of the single’s success.

1967

🎙 Pink Floyd played two gigs in one day, the first at the College of Commerce in Hull, and then the UFO at The Blarney Club, Tottenham Court Road, London England.

1972

🎙 Elvis Presley made entertainment history by performing 4 sold-out shows at New York’s Madison Square Garden. George Harrison, John Lennon, David Bowie, Bob Dylan and Art Garfunkel were among music stars that attended the shows. The shows were recorded and became the album ‘Elvis as recorded at Madison Square Garden‘.

🎙 Bruce Springsteen signed with Columbia Records and started to assemble the E Street Band from various Asbury Park ex-band mates.

1975

🎙 Windsor Davies and Don Estelle were at No.1 on the UK singles chart with ‘Whispering Grass‘. It was a spin-off from the BBC TV sitcom It Ain’t Half Hot Mum. Originally recorded by The Ink Spots in 1940.

1978

🎙 The Rolling Stones released Some Girls, their first studio album recorded with Ronnie Wood as a full member. The album cover was designed by Peter Corriston and featured The Rolling Stones in garish drag alongside select female celebrities and lingerie ads. The cover immediately ran into trouble when Lucille Ball, Farrah Fawcett, Liza Minnelli (representing her mother Judy Garland), Raquel Welch, and the estate of Marilyn Monroe threatened legal action.

1979

🎙 The Bee Gees went to No.1 on the US singles chart with ‘Love You inside Out‘, the group’s 9th US No.1 and a No.13 hit in the UK.

1984

🎙 Cyndi Lauper started a two-week run at No.1 on the US singles chart with ‘Time After Time’ a No.3 hit in the UK. Lauper co-wrote ‘Time After Time‘ with Philadelphia based Rob Hyman of The Hooters.

1990

🎙 England New Order started a two-week run at No.1 on the UK singles chart with ‘World In Motion‘. England’s song for the World Cup in 1990, following their No.1 in 1970. In the game they were knocked out by Germany on both occasions.

🎙 M.C. Hammer’s debut album started a record breaking 21 week stay at the top of the US album charts, making it the longest uninterrupted stay at the top since the album charts started.

🎙 Michael Jackson was admitted to hospital with a mystery illness. It was later diagnosed as an inflamed cartilage in his rib cage.

🎙 Bailiffs repossessed the mansion owned by the group 5 Star after non-payment of the mortgage. The group had achieved 15 top 20 hits over five years.

🎙 Wilson Phillips went to No.1 in the US with ‘Hold On‘. 25 years earlier to the day Wendy and Carnies father Beach Boy Brian Wilson had been at No.1 with ‘Help Me Rhonda‘.

1994

🎙 After an argument TLC singer Left Eye set fire to her boyfriend’s Atlanta mansion, worth $2 million (£1.176 million), burning it to the ground. She was charged with arson and fined $10, 000 (£5,882) with five years probation.

1998

🎙 Oasis singer Liam Gallagher and Simply Red singer Mick Hucknall were involved in a brawl at The Metropolitan Hotel, London.

🎙 The Ronettes appeared in the Supreme Court of New York for their lawsuit against Phil Spector. The Ronettes, whose hits included ‘Be My Baby‘ and ‘Walking In The Rain‘, claimed that Spector had breached the group’s 34-year-old contract by paying the members no royalties since 1963. Although The Ronettes went on to win the case, the New York State Court of Appeals overturned the decision in October, 2002, saying that the contract the Ronettes signed with Spector in 1963 was still binding.

2003

🎙 Former Boyzone frontman Ronan Keating raised more than £100,000 ($170,000) for cancer charities during a 23 day walk from the Giant’s Causeway in County Antrim to Kinsale in County Cork. He visited 610 towns along the way, walking an average of 32km (20 miles)each day.

2007

🎙 George Michael became the first music artist to perform at the new Wembley Stadium in London when he played the first of two shows at the venue during his ‘25 Live Tour‘.

2009

🎙 Rachel Stevens was robbed of jewellery by three men who followed her into her flat in north London. The men ambushed the former S Club 7 singer as she entered her flat near Regents Park, the items stolen included her engagement ring, a necklace and her watch.

2011

🎙 A Belgian music festival, which prides itself on its horse-meat sausages announced it was going meat-free on the day that vegetarian singer Morrissey appeared. The 10-day Lokerse Feesten, which boasts online about sales of sausage rolls and snails, will order stalls to sell vegetarian food only on 4th August, the day Morrissey is due to appear. In 2009, the singer left the stage at California’s Coachella festival saying he could “smell burning flesh”. The booking “meant a welcomed catering challenge for one day”, it added.
And that brings us to the end of this weeks edition, don’t forget to check out this weeks Spotify playlist below. See you all the same time next week.
