I went to lunch with an A&R man. Fascinating experience, because they’re all hit-driven, it’s like they live in a different world from everybody e-mailing me about the Hold Steady and the National…they’ve got to put up numbers. Quickly. And this guy was lamenting how long it took to break a record. He was talking about someone who’d had a big hit. How radio rejected the follow-up track, but how this cut was percolating in the marketplace, there was a ton of online buzz, iTunes sales were building, yet the business perceived the cut as a stiff. What was gonna happen when the noise got truly loud, was radio gonna go back on the record? (more…)

This week Nomads have put on a musical menu that is second to none on the Bangkok scene at the moment. In case you are not sure of the location, Nomads is strategically located all the way at the end of Silom Soi 4, on the right hand side. Thursday nights the blues hit Bangkok as Soi Dog hold down their weekly slot. This Friday, and every Friday for the rest of July the bar is proud to have Kaleidoscope rocking Soi 4. These guys barely need an introduction as they have been rocking the local scene for decades with more or less the same line up. Led Zep, Van Halen, Stones, and even a little Rod Stewart with everything else in between is delivered flawlessly. Not to be missed. (more…)
