No clue then, eh?

Ok, then does anybody know of any good acoustic blues renditions of Voodoo Chile, period?

Ok, so Brenda Russell busted out a wonderful version of Voodoo Chile on Monday. Female vocalist, has a bit of a Norah Jones quality to it. The guitar work was far more John Lee Hooker than Jimi Hendrix. The closest I've come to finding it is a version by Brett Ratner on iTunes, but perhaps other peo...

So last February when I was in Barcelona, I got to hear this amazingly high-fidelity version of what sounded like Ella singing "Coochie-Coochie-coo". Seemed to have a pretty long narrated intro or something, suggesting it was a live recording. It was hi-fi and crystal-clear enough that I'm...

Also, I'm flattered that you'd want to see my playlists! Let me post July's, as well as some commentary on how I think about my playlists. General thoughts: 1. I arrange my songs by feel rather than tempo, hence the weird tagging on these songs. Alas, I don't have album information for them. 2. I ar...

Hmm...if I may offer an interpretation on I'se a muggin... It comes right after Darktown Strutters' Ball, which is 5 minutes of crazy intensity. My guess is that most people would either be ready to rest or be expecting something to get them back in the groove. So a Django ends up being a stark cont...

(Also, this is Nick Pitera's project...don't know who this is? Listen to this clip--the guy is singing BOTH parts..quite entertainin...

This is for all you Macbook users out there... For the last year, I've been using a little freeware program called DJay to do most of my spinning here in the bay area. It was developed by 3 German university kids as one of their CS projects, and works remarkably well. They designed it to function li...

What do other mac laptop DJs use?

DJay.

Hands down awesome.

Lately I've been closing with the 1:50 rendition of One O'Clock Jump that ends the Blues Alley album. It's nice because it's a hats-off to the nonexistent band, and I can follow it up with any style of dance I want for cleanup time.

Thanks Trev!
