RIP Adam

What'cha listening to today?

Rest in Peace, Adam Yauch, or as he was introduced to us back in the day, MCA. Beastie Boys far transcended what anyone ever thought three 'brats' from Brooklyn would do. Checking out this clip from when they started out (sassing Joan Rivers), and thinking about Mike D and Ad-Rock and everyone in the Beastie world.

Doc Watson

He's not a household name in all parts of the country, but trust us when we say that Doc Watson was a national treasure. He died today, and we are sad, but honored that the limited edition Vanguard reissue of his classic album Doc Watson was part of Record Store Day 2010, which means we got to play a tiny little part in the legacy of an amazing man.

Church of Noise

Song of the day is "Church of Noise (Acustic Version)"


IT'S OLD!
Sir Bob Cornelius Rifo!
The man with the mask that comes from Bassano

Today I'll tell you about a great personality from Bassano del Grappa.
A small town becomes the Rifo Bob has always been very active in the field of art, went close soon.
Ever since 2007, has been releasing music under the name "Bloody Beetroots", quickly becoming - through word of mouth spontaneous international network of blogs - one of the most popular producers of electro-punk-dance scene.
His strength, in addition to the firepower of music, is the conceptual approach and rigorous Rifo has the "make" art. From the choice of going out in public only ever masked (in the early DJ sets with his partner Tommy Tea defilatosi then).
The smoothie danzabilità and noise has rapidly come the sounds of Bob the ears of the likes of Steve Aoki (which has been put under contract to his label Dim Mak) and Tommy Lee of Motley Crue matterista former, which has often accompanied live.
Both are among the first followers of the "Church of Noise" philosophical movement founded by Rifo diffonre for the crossover between the arts, first of all his favorite (after music): photography.
Sir Bob Cornelius Rifo decided to delight us with an alternative in acoustic version of that bomb in Church of Noise. Given the generally very similar, I asked about the DJ and producer Barbar! and today gives us the opportunity to benefit from it all.

Robin Gibb is dead

Robin Gibb, one of the founding members of the Bee Gees, passed away today at the age of 62 after a long battle with cancer.
Family spokesman Doug Wright said in a statement:


“The family of Robin Gibb, of the Bee Gees, announce with great sadness that Robin passed away today following his long battle with cancer and intestinal surgery. The family have asked that their privacy is respected at this very difficult time.”


Rolling Stone reports that Gibb had surgery in 2010 to fix a twisted bowel, the same condition that killed his twin brother Maurice. Gibb recovered from the surgery but doctor’s later found a growth in his colon. Gibb started treatment and seemed to be doing well, but earlier this year he slipped into a coma where he contracted pneumonia.


His family, wife Dwina, daughter Melissa, sons Spencer and Robin-John, and his brother Barry, the last surviving member of iconic disco group, held a bedside vigil while he was at the hospital in London and eventually Gibb woke from his coma, supposedly from the sound of his own music. 


Unfortunately, Gibb never fully recovered from his brush with death.


ABC reports that Gibb and the Bee Gees sold more than 200 million albums. The 1979 soundtrack to “Saturday Night Fever” won the band a Grammy, and for a year, it was the top selling album in history. (It was unseated in 1980 by Michael Jackson’s “Thriller.)
