Film: Before the Music Dies
BEFORE THE MUSIC DIES tells the story of American music at this precarious moment. Filmmakers Andrew Shapter and Joel Rasmussen traveled the country, hoping to understand why mainstream music seems so packaged and repetitive, and whether corporations really had the power to silence musical innovation. The answers they found on this journey-ultimately, the promise that the future holds-are what makes BEFORE THE MUSIC DIES both riveting and exhilarating.
- PureMusic.com
Narrated by Academy Award® Winner Forest Whitaker, BEFORE THE MUSIC DIES is an unsettling and inspiring look at today’s popular music industry featuring interviews and performances by Erykah Badu, Eric Clapton, Dave Matthews, Branford Marsalis, ?uestlove and a wide variety of others. The documentary film has built a passionate following as “the most important film a music fan will ever see” (XM Radio) by providing “a balanced overview of the state of the rock scene of America” (The Wall Street Journal) and adding “passion to the eternal debate about the industry” (The New York Times).

This is an excellent track, I would love to hear it more. Please memorize the words and sing along when I play it, thanks.
MP3: “Just Good Friends” Michael Jackson w/ Stevie Wonder
Another one of my favorites, “I Can’t Help It”. Composed by Stevie, sung by Michael, covered by Grover Washington, Jr., sampled by De La Soul, and Luckyiam.PSC in “Best I Can”. Just a small reminder that indeed, the world does rotate around the axis that is Stevie Wonder.
More on the latest sensation the call MJ here, coupled with some additional listening material in reference to the De La track up there. I’m pretty sure I’ve cross referenced the Smokey Robinson joint before but it’s so nice I had to do it twice. The Groove Boutique remixed it for Motown’s official remix album. And shoot. Every time you hear this track doesn’t it make you just wanna… yeah, me neither.

P.S. Please attempt to purchase music. Christmas is just about the best time to support artists by purchasing or putting their albums on your wishlists as you’re going to be purchasing and receiving gifts anyways. Pay special attention to your local independent specialty music retailers and artists. The music industry is dying and if you don’t make the right choices, it will actually be your fault for not doing your part. Yes, you!

Doors: 8pm - Tickets $23 in advance at Zulu, Scratch, Red Cat, Highlife
The charismatic Wicked Little Girl with the captivating voice returns to Vancouver for her first live show in 10 years!
Since her last album, Esthero has been busy recording while at the same time getting involved with dope projects like being the voice of J.A.N.E. on Kanye West’s “Glow in the Dark” tour and singing on the Will.I.Am produced Ode to Barack Obama called “Yes We Can” http://www.yeswecansong.com/ among many many other things.
We can’t wait to see her again this time around in a live, intimate and acoustic setting. This is definitely a type of show you will not see her do too often… and for all these reasons it makes it a show you can’t miss! - The Hastings Set

Jamie Lidell “Another Day”
“Multiply” Live
No easy feat to follow up 2005’s Multiply, which garnered many fans and an astounding collection of superlatives still ringing across the world. That album, Jamie’s second solo, caught most of us off-guard. While the influences that infused Multiply are still present and correct on third album Jim, it’s a bolder, more promiscuously diverse album, with Jamie restlessly shifting across gospel, disco and even folk, and that chunk of ‘hillbilly funk’ thrown in for good measure. Live in 2008, Jamie’s been fine-tuning a band that can reflect the vibrancy and richness of the album, whilst allowing the songs to breathe differently each night. Its clear that the live Jim experience will be something very special indeed.
