SWING A LITTLE – KIM A LITTLE

Another cigarette brand to propose another marketing plan to target woman, the picture sleeve shows 3 hyped ladies, behind a DJset (supposedly in a club) speaking about a 45 release, enjoying the slevve, the music and a good little Kim ! The stylish design of the pack and the cigs were made to attract the ladies. About the music : no title, band name or credit to be found, the single track od the 45, is a kind of late 60s groovy instrumental soundtrack with powerful horn lines, interrupted by a voice over by a woman asking to lite her Kim. But here it is taste it  (speaking of the sound of course) !

Pan Am is a television series centered around the iconic airline Pan American World Airways during the early 1960s. The period drama, from writer Jack Orman (ER) and director Thomas Schlamme (The West Wing), has a storyline that begins in 1963 and focuses on the pilots and stewardesses working for the world-famous airline.
The series, produced by Sony Pictures Television, was picked up by ABC in May 2011 for the 2011–2012 television season. Sony licensed the rights to the Pan Am name and logo from Pan Am Systems, a New Hampshire–based railroad company that acquired the Pan Am brand in 1998.
Pan Am premiered on September 25, 2011.

La machine de guerre est définitivement lancée et enchaîne les titres avec une frénésie qui s’empare rapidement de toute la salle. Plus personne n’a un poil de sec et l’AB Club se transforme en sauna. Turrell tout heureux nous explique que « Beggarman » tiré du premier album est sans doute le meilleur titre que le band n’ai jamais écrit et il nous le balance à la tronche avec un enthousiasme non dissimulé. Des cris fusent de la salle et cette fois alors qu’on le croyait au top de son art le groupe enclenche le turbo. Le Hammond ronflant se déchaîne, le sax se lâche, Turrel hurle son âme…

Ces mecs là veulent nous achever.
Mike Porter maltraite tellement ses claviers qu’un roadie doit lui venir en aide pour éviter que l’instrument ne tombe de ses supports. Smoove se marre : « Hey Mike take it easy ! This guy is crazy ! A 3.000 dollars keys ! ».

Les spectateurs se marrent.A 22h le band quitte la scène. La foule déchaînée les acclame, subjuguée.
Ils reviendront pour un rappel de folie pendant lequel il nous livreront leur version d’un classique from the 60′s: « I’m a man »du Spencer Davis Group. Dave Wilde descend jouer du sax dans le public, c’est la folie collective dans l’AB club.
Le public en veut encore mais les lumières se rallument.
Sur les visages on voit des sourires béats, certains ont l’air hagard, d’autres n’en reviennent pas…

Une bombe a frappé l’AB Club ce soir, elle s’appelle Smoove & Turrell !
Et une fois n’est pas coutume les victimes sont bien vivantes et elles ont aimé ça.
Enorme ! Setlist Hammond(intro)

A FILM BY ELAINE CONSTANTINE

This is a story of a youth culture that changed a generation and influenced songwriters, producers, DJs and designers for decades to come.

This is the story of Northern Soul.
Award-winning director Elaine Constantine will begin shooting her first feature-length film Northern Soul in January 2012 under Stubborn Heart Productions and in association with Baby Cow Films.

The film will tell the tale of two Northern boys whose worlds are changed forever when they discover black American soul music. 

Northern Soul was phenomenally popular with British youths in the 1970s, taking the North of the country by storm.

Northern Soul the film intends to appeal to those generations of fans while attracting a modern audience who can relate to youth culture from another era. If you were there, you’ll know. If you weren’t there, you’ll wish you had been.

THE NILSMEN : LE WINSTON b/w SANDSTEP

The superb Brigitte Bardot picture sleeve was a very smart idea to attract young people to watch that promotional adverstising as a support for Winston and Camel cigarettes.

When she was completely down and out, way down at the bottom a miracle happened. Someone gave her a guitar. And she remembered how good music used to make her feel. How music can heal.

Shortly thereafter Jasmine decided to break up and leave. She left the town she grew up in, the relationship that almost killed her – and her old life, in search for a new. She started travelling the world, determined to find a way to make a living as a performing artist.

When Jasmine arrived in New York she immediately knew she had come home. The city’s music scene in general and it’s jazz, blues and R&B clubs in particular made her realise that this was where she belonged. She started performing all over town and took every chance she could get to sing to anyone who’d listen. Gradually she started noticing how her powerful voice could move her audience, making her even more certain that this was what she needed to do for the rest of her life. However, that dream of a recording contract kept eluding her, depsite promises and close calls.

Eventually she was picked up by new indepenent label Tri-Sound. One of it’s founders was legendary record man Marshall Chess, who ended up as Jasmine’s Executive Producer on her debut album ”Blues Ain’t Nothing But A Good Woman Gone Bad”. A collection of classic old school blues and R&B-numbers, but with Jasmine’s trade remarkable voice, the album was recorded during 48 hours in the well-renowned Cosmos Studio in Stockholm, Sweden for a 2010 summer release.

Ever since her troubled teens, Jasmine had kept a diary, written notes and letters and a blog to document her dramatic roller coaster journey to where she arrived today. This material makes for very fascinating and captivating reading. SO much so, that her label decided to turn it into a autobiographic novel to be launched in conjunction with the album release. So far only printed in the Swedish language, the book is called ”Hälsa Henne Att Hon Ska Dö” (”Tell Her That She Is Dead”) and this debut marks the start of yet another creative aspect of the much talented and versatile artist that is Jasmine Kara.

Already a friend of both, Rick Barrio Dill (bass) came along and added his shared bass influences and energy into the newly formed project. To make the band complete, Richard Danielson (drums) was recruited not long after to add the authentic and edgy take that was needed on the drums.

With these collective energies and inputs in place, a new kind of soul band had been born with unlimited creativity and force. 
The power foursome then moved to commune, create and rehearse amongst the famed musical lore of Laurel Canyon. Within two weeks of rehearsals in early 2010, the group quickly began playing local shows and late night speakeasies. Led by timeless vocal tone and presence, small tweed amps, and a mission to move as many people as possible, the band quickly gained a reputation as a high energy and truly mesmerizing live act whose performances feel like down-home revivals with an uptown edge. Sticking to their roots of mid-century original soul music and recording techniques, the band used a lean three-day recording session with full takes and no-frills to turn out 12 new songs a mere two months into the project. With singles like « Gracefully », « Nancy Lee », « Still & Always Will » and « Blues Hand Me Down », the resulting sound brings you back to the days of vinyl records, sweaty juke joints, and the feel and essence of the original soul movement. 
Vintage Trouble. Get into it. And be prepared for the awakening.

On the Sunday was the afternoon Ride out, and a impressing amount of Scooters park outside along the Seafront next to the Volks. We had enough time to see all the different styles and models, there was also a Scooter contest, but none of us were aware of it. The start of the Run was epic, with people going all the way, and quickly after it was going nowhere, nothing was really prepared and it was a little deception.
