Dust and Grooves: Ben Blackwell

Dust & Grooves is a fantastic music blog showcasing vinyl collectors and the culture surrounding them. There’s a ton of great content on the site but they just released a new mix and an accompanying great writeup on Third Man Records / solo artist / vinyl connoisseur Ben Blackwell. There’s a lot of interesting information within regarding his collection and his involvement with Third Man but I find snippets like this the most compelling:

Q: What do you look for in a record?
A: Lately I’ve been looking for things that don’t make sense. Records that shouldn’t exist. Releases that seem stuck in a vacuum or created via time machine. But overall, a record should captivate you. It should elicit an emotion. It should tell a story. There’s no better format for the dissemination of a song that the 7” 45rpm record. That will never change.

Go read the article while you listen to the original mix Blackwell compiled to accompany it.

Remember Elle Macho? Did you know they never released a full-length record? Well, they’re changing that. I’m oddly interested.

Fat Tuesday’s with Paul Burch feat. William Tyler

Fat Tuesday’s with Paul Burch feat. William Tyler

Over a decade of critically acclaimed albums, Paul Burch’s original and riveting mix of rock and roll, blues and honky tonk has been described by USA Today as “music that sounds thoroughly modern but completely unlike contemporary country” and Entertainment Weekly has called him “a modern day Jimmie Rodgers.”

Both in his recordings and his live shows, Burch is frequently backed by his long time group, the WPA Ballclub, and together they put surprise improvisational twists into Burch’s original compositions that feature baritone guitar, fiddle, Hawaiian steel, Latin American rhythms, atmospheric tape loops and feedback. The combination makes for vibrant, haunting music that seems unmoored to time or continent or what UK’s Mojo magazine described as “the sound of a celestial jukebox heard from around the corner.”
