The Soundtrack of Our Lives | 02.27 | S.F.

March 15th, 2010 | No Comments

The Soundtrack of Our Lives :: 02.27.10 :: The Independent :: San Francisco, CA

The Soundtrack of Our Lives :: 02.27 :: S.F.

They call themselves the “greatest living, six-piece, space rock ‘n’ roll band in the history of the eardrum,” and they might be right. The Soundtrack of Our Lives put on one of the best shows I saw during San Francisco’s Noise Pop Festival (read more about Noise Pop here). The Swedish rock band kicked, jumped, and played their hearts out at The Independent, a brilliant venue that allowed both the intimacy to connect with the audience and the much needed space to accommodate all six rockers. There was so much happening onstage, so much pulsating energy, so many people to watch; I felt like I had been thrown into a wash/spin cycle. It was clear from the first note of “Babel On” that I was going to be under their spell for the entire set and I was more than happy to oblige.

Soundtrack is comprised of Ebbot Lundberg (vox), Ian Person (guitar, vox), Mattias BÃ¤rjed (guitar, vox), Martin Hederos (keys), Fredrik Sandsten (drums) and Kalle Gustafsson Jerneholm (bass, vox). They’ve been playing together as a family for 15 years and have put out six albums, with the most recent being Communion in 2008. Their core sound is rock, with some psychedelic, alternative, folk and gospel hints. Frontman Lundberg has serious stage presence. Often seen wearing a long robe and scarf of sorts, he is reminiscent of a religious/spiritual leader waiving his hands in the air, almost like he’s summoning the music gods. His raspy, gritty voice makes you believe he’s been through a lot, lived a lot and seen a lot. And no doubt he has. They all have.

When I spoke to the band they talked about the wildest places they’d played in the past 15 years. Mongolia was at the top of their list, mainly concerning the food they had to eat. They were forced to eat tripe and apparently tripe is furry. Furry? “Yes. It IS furry,” they insisted. They’ve rocked in every corner of the world, including near the Pyramids in Egypt, where BÃ¤rjed was chased by 200 screaming fans because they thought he was Michael Jackson. The only place the guys haven’t been to yet is South America, and it’s next on the list.

The Soundtrack of Our Lives :: 02.27 :: S.F.

With several world tours under their belt, six albums and 15 years together, TSOOL are as comfortable and perfectly worn as your favorite pair of jeans. They play with character, love of their craft and full throttle energy. They sweat. They do jump kicks. They belt out lyrics. They’re like a messier Rolling Stones, a folksier Oasis, and even a nice nod to the Grateful Dead. They write the music first and the lyrics come, as Lundberg says, “by coincidence.” They’re not polished or predictable, but wild and rough.

Speaking of wild, BÃ¤rjed wears a pretty fantastic fire engine red pant/jumpsuit whilst slaying his guitar. Billy Crudup’s character (Russell Hammond, lead guitarist of Stillwater) in Almost Famous could’ve easily been based on BÃ¤rjed. I was half expecting him to yell, “I AM A GOLDEN GOD!!!” Hederos was a treat to watch on keys, extremely enthusiastic, singing his heart out and pounding away, hardly touching his seat. All the guys were rock stars, but there wasn’t a scene-stealer in the group, and I think that’s due in part to their longevity playing together and their love for each other. Watching them perform and talking with them you can tell that they feel a strong collective bond, a brotherhood of sorts. The biggest bonus is that they genuinely have a good time playing together. They are having a riot onstage, which in turn makes us have a riot.

During the set, they played both oldies as well as newer songs from Communion, but my favorites were “Flipside” and “Lost Prophets In Vain,” where everyone was singing along.

If you’re new to these guys, download “The Passover,” “Babel On” or “The New Messiah” to get a feel for their flavor. San Francisco was one of their last stops before heading back to Sweden and they certainly gave us something to look forward to – their return.

Taking Woodstock Soundtrack

Soundtrack To Ang Lee’s New Comedy Taking Woodstock

About The Road To The 1969 Event Includes Unforgettable Songs By
The Artists Who Played Woodstock

Taking Woodstock the new film directed by Oscar winner Ang Lee was inspired by the memoirs of Elliot Tiber, who with his family inadvertently played a role in making the Woodstock Music and Arts Festival into the famed happening it was, 40 years ago this summer. The Taking Woodstock soundtrack, with songs from many of the artists who performed at the festival, reflects a joyous moment in time when everything seemed possible. The soundtrack and score, composed by Danny Elfman, will be available August 25.

The Taking Woodstock soundtrack begins with Richie Havens, who opened the festival on August 15, 1969. For the movie Havens recorded a new version of “Freedom,” the song he played to close his set at Woodstock. The soundtrack contains songs from a number of 1960s musical icons who performed at the festival, including Grateful Dead, Janis Joplin, Jefferson Airplane and Crosby, Stills & Nash – who played only their second show in front of the crowd, which was estimated at 500,000 strong.

Focus Features will release the movie Taking Woodstock nationwide August 28. The film stars Demetri Martin, Dan Fogler, Henry Goodman, Jonathan Groff, Eugene Levy, Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Imelda Staunton, Emile Hirsch and Liev Schreiber. For more information about the film, visit takingwoodstockthemovie.com.

Sat Eye Candy: Cat Stevens

July 11th, 2009 | No Comments

NICE TO HAVE YOU BACK, ROADSINGER

Today, like every other day,
We wake up empty and frightened.
Don’t open the door to the study.
and begin reading. Take down a musical instrument.
Let the beauty we love be what we do.
There are hundreds of ways to kneel and kiss the ground.

We woke with this Rumi poem playing on repeat in our heads. And then, in a flash, it occurred to us what the perfect soundtrack for such poetic philosophizing might be – Cat Stevens. These days he goes by the name Yusuf Islam but the brave, yearning heart of what makes him tick is beating very, very strong. His new album, Roadsinger: To Warm You Through The Night, is a slow stunner (JamBase review), and it’s sparked us to explore his back catalog anew. And folks, there’s much we need to hear today, now, in this tumultuous moment we find ourselves in.

Like Marley’s “Three Little Birds,” there’s something prayerful and innocent about our opener. If there’s a gentler, more quietly blessed way to wake up then we haven’t found it.

It’s a beautiful thing to see him come back to his old songs, finding a way to fit them into his more pronounced spiritual path of recent years, realizing the great stockpiles of understanding and truth hiding in his “pop songs.” To wit, this thoughtful stroll through one of his best from 2007.

Love is a hard thing in his work. It’s something that requires much of us, demanding a patience and depth of understanding few of us can muster most of the time. And sometimes he distilled this concept into something wonderfully tough like this blues-tinged jewel from his 1976 Earth Tour.

His recent return to recording in the past few years has shown him to be a vigorous, funny, fiercely engaged musician with still a lot to say in his songs. This is a primo performance of one of the standouts off 2006′s An Other Cup.

Here’s a dark turn from the new album delivered with restrained style on Jools Holland grand BBC program.

And it isn’t always dark clouds and naval gazing. Sometimes he just tossed off a killer ditty that reminds you what a fine nuts ‘n’ bolts composer he can be.

Stevens’ music will always be inexorably liked to the cult film Harold And Maude, which seems to touch a nerve in each subsequent generation where liking the movie lets one know they’re amongst fellow freaks. Here’s Doug Martsch of Built to Spill performing Stevens’ centerpiece tune from the soundtrack.

The highway our feet travel may be long, rocky and full of unexpected twists and dead ends, but if we’ve tucked the right songs into our bindle we’ll be alright. It’s a true joy to have this man making music again. We conclude with the title tune from his latest offering and his 2006 Nobel Peace Price concert performance of perhaps his best known anthem.
