Today's Quick Mention: Can you believe the stuff that Les Paul did
in the 94 years that he graced the Earth with his presence? Multitrack
recording, some contraption known as the electric guitar. And that
doesn't even mention his catalog of great songs. What a musician.
Daptone Records are all I need when it comes to soul music, but if anyone
can make me stray it's King Kahn, who always seems to be involved in
something inspiring. His latest interest is the Almighty Defenders,
which also features members of fellow Vice act the Black Lips, and you can
expect the band's self titled debut to be released on September 22.
Enjoy.
:The
Almighty Defenders - Cone Of Light:
When you consider that the last track I shared, Bow Down
And Die, featured some rather impassioned wailing (you
know, the kind that you can imagine a hundred drunks singing
along with after a long night at the bar), this is a
fairly reserved effort. In fact, it's really nothing
more than a nicely crafted piece of vintage pop. You
can handle it. If not, you're doing it wrong, and I
advise that you leave it on repeat until you figure out what
the problem is.
