As everyone knows, some can only transfer the files to iPod. Recently, my computer crashed and all of the files was gone, but I believe that they are still in my computer. Thus I spent several hours on trying to find out how to backup the stuffs in iPod/iPhone/iTouch and how to transfer songs, videos, photos and playlist from iPod/iPhone/iTouch to PC. I thought it would be a perfect idea to make a tutorial for many people who was confused by how to backup the stuffs in iPod/iPhone/iTouch and how to transfer songs, videos, photos and playlist from iPod/iPhone/iTouch to PC.

SOME DAYS WE BUY FLOWERS FOR OURSELVES
With Valentine’s Day arriving this Sunday, we wanted to give a musical shout-out to those who’ll be celebrating the annual salute to lovers aloneÂ…or with an inflatable date.
We’ll return to the Instrumental Gold series next Friday.
Check out last week’s Instrumental Gold (Pt. 1) Playlist, with wordless storytelling from Robert Walter, Tortoise, Four Tet and more! Playlist assembled by JamBase Associate Editor Dennis Cook, who just knows there’s a monkey around here somewhere that richly deserves a paddlingÂ… |

SOMETIMES NO WORDS ARE NECESSARY
In February the Friday Playlist series will be exploring instrumental flavors of many kinds. We’re probing into what stories can be told sans words, and begin this week with a hauntingly beautiful piece from Armenian duduk master Djivan Gasparian and travel through jazz and electronica spaces with the likes of Robert Walter, Four Tet and Tortoise, while taking excursions with past masters like Yusuf Lateef and Astor Piazzola. We hope this helps soundtrack some fine moments for you folks this weekend.

IT’S A LONG WAY TO THE TOP IF YOU WANNA ROCK ‘N’ ROLL
We conclude our January showcase of songs about road life, the music biz, and the experience of being on stages with some “classics” of the genre from Boston, Journey, two Leon Russell penned gems (“Superstar” and “A Song For You”), and more. It’s a rich rock tradition – i.e. self-referential, vaguely jaded, semi-autobiographical tunes – we’re happy to explore with you.

CIRCUS LIFE UNDER THE BIG TOP WORLD
 |
We continue our January showcase of songs about road life, the music biz, and the experience of being on stages. It’s a rich rock tradition – i.e. self-referential, vaguely jaded, semi-autobiographical tunes – we’re happy to explore with you.
This week finds touring ennui from Jimmy Buffett, Rick Nelson and Bob Weir, alongside more modern discontent from the stage delivered by the Arctic Monkeys and Splitsville. There’s also a couple bonafide classics in this rock subset from Steely Dan and Stealers Wheel (yes, kids, they did more songs than “Stuck In The Middle With You”). We wrap up with the Patti Smith Group‘s wonderful reworking of The Byrds’ staple, which declares, “This is the era where everybody creates!” and we begin with the too-short-lived Imperial Drag, one of the best post-Jellyfish outfits Roger Joseph Manning Jr. has been involved in.
Once again, we encourage you to raise your beer mugs and disposable lighters to the heavens for the hard working musicians that do that voodoo that they do so well.

LOVE AND A MUSIC MAN AIN’T ALWAYS WHAT IT’S SUPPOSED TO BE
| |
After spending the better part of a week with folks trying to shake a dollar out of the music business on Jam Cruise, JamBase was poignantly reminded that it ain’t easy being in a band. So, the Friday Playlists in January will showcase songs about road life, the recording industry, and the experience of being on stages. It’s a rich rock tradition – i.e. self-referential, vaguely jaded, semi-autobiographical songs – and much like theatre pieces focused on theatre life, there’s pleasure and insight to be had, even when things get a touch cheesy.
Our first dozen entries tap into some quality ’70s ennui from Linda Ronstadt (covering James Taylor), Rockpile and Elton John, as well as killer contemporary contributions to the “rock songs about rock” canon from Backyard Tire Fire and The Drams, plus two overlooked classics from Lynyrd Skynyrd and Goose Creek Symphony. There’s also a bit of unbridled exuberance from Eddie Money, Black Oak Arkansas and Thin Lizzy, because it’s got to be enjoyable sometimes or no one would stuff themselves into a beat-up van like some musical clown car and bring the show to our towns. Thank the Lord above that there’s hard working souls willing to endure the “long way to the top.” And don’t worry, we’ll get to Journey, Dr. Hook and other masters of this subject matter in the next couple weeks. For now, slip a coin into the jukebox and give these a spin.

A LITTLE CLOUD WATCHING MUSIC
| |
With gray skies and damp weather rising all over this winter, we’ve put together a few numbers particularly suited to gazing outside through rain streaked windows as the steam rises from your mug and your house pets curl around your ankles.
This week’s Playlist begins with a dreamy gem from the recently reissued Goose Creek Symphony album Head For The Hills, followed by a modern hymn from Seattle’s The Moondoggies from their sensational 2008 debut, Don’t Be A Stranger (JamBase review). Then it’s a vintage blast from Graham Nash‘s solo debut, Songs For Beginners, followed by solo efforts from The Black Crowes‘ Chris and Rich Robinson, which bear Nash’s influence. We conclude with a stone love song classic from dearly departed John Martyn and newfound folk-swoon charmer Daniel Martin Moore.

Thanksgiving Playlist

HEY, YOU MADE OUR LIST OF THINGS TO BE THANKFUL FOR!
 Mary Gauthier |
Except for the saddest lives, there is always much to be thankful for. However, the pace of modern life doesn’t afford many opportunities to slow down and reflect on one’s blessings. For this alone we can be grateful for the annual arrival of Thanksgiving.
As there are many ways to be thankful, our little Thanksgiving Playlist attempts to reflect the myriad meanings in some ways. From the darker tinged offerings from stunning folkie Mary Gauthier and Van Morrison to the more forthright gratitude of Bonnie Raitt and Tesla (doing Zeppelin!), we acknowledge the vast spaces inside a ‘thank you.’ We open and close with instrumentals, which, by their nature, have a tendency to make one a touch more thoughtful. We give the final ‘word’ to a seminal holiday track by George Winston and begin with a jewel from the very cool Bass Desires band led by bassist Marc Johnson, with drummer Peter Erskine and guitar masters John Scofield and Bill Frisell.
We offer this assortment as a small thank you to the readers and fans of JamBase. We appreciate you more than we can possibly say.

GOD BLESS THE VILLAGE GREEN PRESERVATION SOCIETY!
| |
Not many bands can claim to have altered the trajectory of rock ‘n’ roll with only their third single, but The Kinks managed to inject something primal into the mix with 1964′s “You Really Got Me,” and fourth single, “All Day and All of the Night” only cemented their place in rock’s primary ’60s blueprint pantheon. That they followed these raw marvels with SO much amazing music is particularly impressive. While many of their contemporaries were stumbling towards gentrification in the late ’70s, The Kinks were still challenging themselves and their listeners, and ultimately rediscovering what a swell singles band they were in the early ’80s. While their latter years have seen only fractious dissent between its members, The Kinks remain one of the most beloved bands by serious music geeks and musicians.
This week the Playlist offers up a baker’s dozen of fab interpretations of what siblings Ray and Dave Davies and their collaborators have wrought. We tried to steer into lesser known waters, and suspect many will be skeptical of Leif Garrett‘s take on “Lola” until they actually hear it. As always, our mission at JamBase is to lay cool music at your feet and leave the rest to you. For this Friday, why not stand up and shake a tail feather to some of these jumpers and enjoy the joys of some great songs played well?

HARD ‘N’ HEAVY GETS THE JOB DONE
| |
Sophistication is not our goal this time out. It’s been a long week and the grind of it all has our heads fuzzy. And there’s few finer ways to blow out the cobwebs than with amp rattlin’, chakra loosenin’ rock-and-freakin-roll. Our jump off artist this week is The Upper Crust, who play AC/DC stomp while wearing Louis XIV style finery, wigs and all. From there, we wend through a boss anthem from Super 400 (and peep JamBase’s rave for their new album here), followed by a stone groover from Thin Lizzy and Rose Hill Drive‘s contribution to car themed hard rock. The short-lived Imperial Drag (Roger Joseph Manning’s post-Jellyfish band) wrestle with gender confusion before Cheap Trick give us the big kiss off and Helloween have their way with Jethro Tull’s railway scorcher. Goodbye cobwebs!
May your weekend both rock AND roll, dear JamBase readers!

WE DO GIVE A BLIP

This week we have a smattering of robot rock that clutch modernity and machine-mindedness with a certain degree of lustiness. Beginning with LCD Soundsystem‘s sly hipster mirror “I’m Losing My Edge,” we run through a bit of inspired cymbal banging by Hot Chip, some classic electro from Morgan Geist, a nifty remix of a vintage Rockers Hi-Fi track, a flash of electrical imagination from BLVD, and wrap up with recent beat killers from Bomb The Bass featuring Jon Spencer and Asian Dub Foundation. May it lively up your blood a touch as this long week wraps up.

BOO!!!!!!

Welcome to JamBase’s super-sized Halloween Playlist. We visit the old classics (“Monster Mash” rendered by the Misfits), new classics (Jonathan Coulton‘s “Re: Your Brains,” Nellie McKay‘s “Zombie”), kid-like gems (Jonathan Richman‘s “Vampire Girl”), swell covers (Rasputina doing CCR’s “Bad Moon Rising,” Magnolia Electric Co. doing Zevon’s “Werewolves of London”), and other strange and menacing tributaries. Few holidays have a more joyously mischievous nature than Halloween, yet the whole shebang flirts with death and genuine fright. It’s a strange one and we love it. Here’s some tunes to get you in the proper mood for tomorrow night as you put on your fangs and prepare to bug strangers for candy…

HE’S A MAMA-PAPA COMING FOR YOU!

For someone so mercurial and defiantly individualistic, David Bowie has proven a terrific catalyst to other musicians. This week’s Playlist delves into 13 killer interpretations of the Thin White Duke’s songbook, including heavy guitar rock versions by Turbonegro (“Suffragette City”) and Zen Guerilla (“Moonage Daydream”), stripped back offerings from Ultravox’s Midge Ure (“Lady Stardust”) and The Dandy Warhols (“Jean Genie”), and even a twanged up visit with a boy who can play guitar by The Gourds (“Ziggy Stardust”).
Next week we’ll have a super-sized Halloween Playlist for you. In the meantime, keep watching the skies for falling starmenÂ…

KNOW YOUR RIGHTSÂ…ALL THREE OF THEM!
 |
Known for a time as “The Only Band That Matters,” The Clash in their short existence (1976-1982 with original lineup) did more to complicate and enliven rock than most bands could manage in decades. Only Creedence Clearwater Revival bests them for greatest influence for shortest amount of time together (1967-1972), and there’s probably some who’d argue The Clash have had a wider impact on other bands. Mick Jones (vocals, lead guitar), Joe Strummer (vocals, rhythm guitar), Topper Headon (drums) and Paul Simonon (bass, vocals) showed that punk spirit could be wed to ferocious creativity with virtually no boundaries. Brash and political, they were also sensimilla loving dance floor hooligans who truly lived punk’s ethos by following no one’s rules but their own. As with most such inventive fires, they burned brightly but briefly, but their influence is scattered throughout music culture.
This week we offer you 13 interpretations of songs created by The Clash. This Playlist was prompted by a reader comment for last week’s Beatles covers, so if you ever wondered if your input has an impact folks, well, here you go. There’s a few things we’d have liked to share but weren’t available on Lala (do yourselves a favor and seek out Josh Rouse’s version of “Straight To Hell”) but this should get your blood moving nicely as we dive into the weekend.

THEY REALLY ARE FAB
| |
There’s just something about a Beatles song. Swathed in nostalgia but brilliant even without all the added heft of history and reputation, and we couldn’t think of a nicer way to usher in the weekend than a baker’s dozen of choice renditions.
We tried to sniff out a few things you might not be familiar with – the fractured wackiness of Eugene Chadbourne and Shockabilly‘s “Day Tripper” or Nina Simone‘s use of Lennon-McCartney’s “Revolution” as a springboard for a real civil rights sermon – but also dipped into interesting covers by The Black Crowes (“Strawberry Fields Forever”), The Secret Machines (“Blue Jay Way”) and Ted Leo and the Pharmacists (“I’m Looking Through You”). But, you’d be hard pressed to find two artists having more fun with The Beatles’ catalog than our kickoff pairing of Al Green (“I Want To Hold Your Hand”) and Black Oak Arkansas (“Taxman”).
And yes, we know we could have picked a bunch of different Beatles covers. Really, what band has been covered more? Feel free to chime in on your favorites in our comments section, and in the meantime, press play and wing your way to PepperlandÂ…

MORE OF 2009′S BEST NEW MUSIC
| |
We continue our survey of some of the best sounds to emerge thus far in 2009. Last week’s Playlist offered some softer, poppier, off-the-beaten path entries, but this week we go heavy ‘n’ hard, launching this assortment with Clutch barking about “anthrax, ham radio and liquor” and concluding with Big Rock Candy Mountain screaming, “Give me all your goddamn money!” In between things get weird, loud and ruinous. We’ll keep offering up baker’s dozens periodically until the end of this year, intermingled with our usual oddly themed mini-mixes. In the meantime, if you hear something that pricks up your ears here then by all means dig in deeper. You won’t regret it (and we’ve even included links to album reviews we’ve run for some of this week’s selections to help in this regard). And do take the opportunity to comment on what’s been flipping your wig in ’09. We’re all earsÂ…

A SMALL SAMPLING 2009′S BEST NEW MUSIC
| |
This has been an exceptionally good year for music. There’s simply not enough hours in the day to get to it all, but we’ve cherry picked a baker’s dozen of some of 2009′s bumper crop for you. Most of these artists aren’t household names (with one exception and she’s likely WAY off most JamBase reader’s radar) but all have produced albums of real substance. From the large scale Pink Floyd-isms of Porcupine Tree to the patient California Americana ache of Dawes to Phosphorescent‘s inspired handling of Willie Nelson and The New Up‘s sumptuous modern rock slow burn, there’s a sustained feeling of quality and depth, even in the lighter, poppier selections, here. We get the sense all of these musicians are going to be around for a long time making music worthy of our time, attention and love. If you hear something that you dig, trust us, there’s plenty more worth investigating on the full albums by this bunch. We’ve run album reviews for many of these releases, which are linked below for those who want to explore further. For now, press play and sink into the good stuff. You won’t be sorryÂ…

THE WEEKEND’S COME
TIME TO THROW YOUR TROUBLES AWAY
| |
This week’s Playlist is all about the longing in various forms – longing to connect and dance with some that makes us smile, longing to shine where so often we feel a touch dull. Richard and Linda Thomposon start things off with the high hopes of “I Want To See The Bright Lights Tonight,” followed the equally daydream rich “When I Paint My Masterpiece,” Dylan and The Band’s classic worked over nicely by Tim O’Brien and Del McCoury. Then, a couple quality bands from the “H” section of the alphabet, Hoots & Hellmouth and the Hackensaw Boys with “The Good I Know You Know” and “Stranger’s Waltz,” respectively. This is followed by nu-folk-innovators Fire On Fire‘s “Liberty Unknown,” Elton John‘s shimmering cover of Lesley Duncan’s cult favorite “Love Song” and finally Chris Thile‘s “Ready For Anything” from his superb solo album Deciever. May your weekend find all your hopes fulfilled, kids!

COR BLIMEY, WE’VE GONE BRIT!
| |
There’s something to be said for geographical distinction and this assortment is very much a product of English upbringing. We begin by piling into a London cab with the Arctic Monkeys followed by a couple of the primate ancestors, The Jam‘s “That’s Entertainment” and The Housemartins‘ “Get Up Off Our Knees.” Next, we have some quality city living with Madness‘ “On The Town” (taken from their ace new album, The Liberty of Norton Folgate), the extended version of The Specials‘ enduring “Ghost Town” and The Cribs‘ “City of Bugs,” from their newly released Ignore The Ignorant, which features new guitarist Johnny Marr, who delivered one of the all-time most memorable guitar riffs with the next selection, The Smiths‘ “How Soon Is Now?” This is followed by Muse‘s “Glorious” and “Beautiful Summer,” a standout from last year’s new Primal Scream release. And we logically conclude with The Clash‘s “London Calling.” Even if you’re stuck on your couch this weekend at least you can travel to jolly olde England with your ears!

ONE DAY, SO MANY MOODS
 Phosphorescent |
Few days of the week have had more songs written about them. A day of rest and contemplation for some, a rugged morning after a night (or two) of excesses, a time to praise, Sunday is many things to many people and we thought we’d offer you a dozen cherry compositions to soundtrack your Sunday this week.
We kick it off a little woozy with Phosphorescent diving to the heart of Kris Kristofferson’s immortal “Sunday Morning Coming Down,” followed by Morrissey‘s mope anthem “Everyday Is Like Sunday.” Then, we have Marianne Faithful doing one of Billie Holiday’s signature tunes, “Gloomy Sunday,” before Ireland’s Luka Bloom brings us into a happier “Sunday.” The Young Rascals get us “Groovin’” on a Sunday afternoon next followed by Frank Sinatra‘s “Sunday.” Next, The Velvet Underground warm up our “Sunday Morning” before VU admirer Beck ushers in some “Sunday Sun.” This is followed by a deep album cut by House of Freaks, which ushers in the final rush of Blur‘s “Sunday Sunday,” Joe Jackson‘s “Sunday Papers” and finally Finley Quaye‘s Bob Marley variation “Sunday Shining.”
Pour yourself a fresh cup of coffee, unfold the newspaper (or bring up your web info source o’ choice) and let us swing ‘n’ sway you into the day. May it be a sweet one for you and yours!
