lebronlemonade

woooooo rock and roll friday. on this fresh new remix of “let’s go surfing”, the raves make the drums tune a fave, by owning the shit out of the sustain function/pedal/button on their guitars/amps/rock and roll soundboards/laptops. we’re feeling it.

right, so here it goes. although now relocated (LA BOS), (and if we haven’t given it away by now!) the b3sci crew is cleveland-born and bred. blah blah blah, anyway, this shit’s been all over the internet the last 24 hours/entire summer/last 3-4 years/since bron was first drafted. but anyway, miami is way cooler than cleveland, no shit. we get that. but to punk out your hometown on natl tv? bron, please. and the whole akron/cleveland thing is bullshit. all that really separates ak and cle is 30 miles of I-77. it’s like asking someone from texas if he’s from dallas, and dude replying, “fuck nah! i’m from fort WORTH!” (accent on worth). or “nah, dude, you thought WRONG! i rep that g-a-r-l-a-n-d (garland, tx) “minneapolis? fuck what ya heard! st. paul is in the building!”. keep it classy in mia, lbj

Raphael Saadiq – Seven

raphael-saadiq1

“seven” is an unreleased saadiq track recorded during “the way i see it” sessions. the tune now appears on the FYE store version of the record. what a GREAT song. “the way i see it” was one of the best records of 2008 and “seven” easily could’ve been on it. we’ve been bumping the shit out of “seven” the last few days here at b3sci HQ, we’re pretty sure you’ll be doing the same after you push play.

Kings of Convenience Live @ Paradise, Boston 06/02/10

kocparadise

kocparadise2

“We’re so glad we were able to see Boston in the summer time”. Kings of Convenience, making good on a rescheduled February date, played to a sold out Paradise Rock Club Wednesday Night. And the heaviness, the warmth of the summer time air suited them, particularly the tunes on the duo’s latest 2009’s “Declaration of Dependence”.

KOC was met with a venue that was equal parts quiet (the bar, at the band’s request had been closed for the performance) and murmurous (the capacity audience hummed with anticipation for the show’s start). With a few thin guitar strums the set set into motion. The motion picture projector-like sound emanating from a rickety cooling fan some place deep in the Paradise’s recesses gave songs such as “Misread” and “Mrs. Cold” an almost cinematic quality. “24-25”, “Boat Behind” floated, drifted, just sort of hung in the sodden, sticky June air.The vocal/guitar melodies/harmonies of Eirik Glambek Bøe/Erlend Øye were fluid, each blending, breathing, with the other.

“We have always had this dream to do a World Tour of Cities that begin with the Letter B” remarked Eirik later into the set. “We’ll begin in our hometown of Bergen, Norway. Then Berlin, Barcelona.” “Buenos Aires”, someone shouted from the crowd, “Brasilia” yelled another, “Brisbane!” The band’s interactions with their public were easy.

Openers Franklin for Short joined the band for the show’s closing three numbers, including an all the way live version of “I’d Rather Dance with You”. Erlend moved, Paradise moved. Erlend clapped, Paradise clapped.

“Boston!”, “Yes, Boston. Of course, Boston.” retorted back Eirik. YES BOSTON! Erlend, Eirik, come back soon!
