Baltimore City Council Prepared To Vote On Citywide Smoking Ban

Baltimore Sun

The Baltimore Sun reports that the Baltimore City Council is one step closer to a vote on a citywide smoking ban. The vote was previously stalled, but is set for a final vote in two weeks. The bill has six supporters but will need two more to pass final muster.

According to the Sun, "If Baltimore approves a smoking ban, it will join New York, Chicago, Los Angeles and dozens of other large cities that have imposed some form of smoking restrictions. Large cities that have not approved such bans include Memphis, Tenn., and Charlotte, N.C."

Album Review: Keller Williams' Dream



Last week, the Virginian Keller Williams released his ninth studio album, Dream. The album is aptly named, being Keller's "dream album" in which he collaborates with a veritable who's-who of talented artists (most of whom frequent the jam-band scene and the jam festivals), including Bela Fleck, Bobby Read, Bob Weir (formerly of The Grateful Dead, now with RatDog), Charlie Hunter, Derrek Phillips, Fareed Haque (Garaj Majal), Fleming McWilliams (of Fleming & John), Jeff Sipe, John Molo, John Scofield, Martin Sexton, Michael Franti (Spearhead), ModeReko, Samir Chatterjee, Sanjay Mishra, Steve Kimock, The String Cheese Incident, and Victor Wooten (Bela Fleck & The Flecktones). Usually operating as a one-man band, this is a departure for Williams, 16 tracks of eclecticism, with a vast array of instruments and styles.

The lead-off track "Play This" is a tongue-in-cheek take, intended to mix Keller's sound with that of rock radio, with distorted vocals and a lyrical mockery of the pop rock formula. "Cadillac" with Bob Weir is very much like a Dead track, written by Williams with Weir in mind and sung about a surreal ride with Buddha, Krishna, Santa and Jesus as passengers. "Life" is a half plugged-in track with talk box guitar courtesy of Jeff Covert and Keller on slide bass and theremin. "Sing For My Dinner" brings in The String Cheese Incident, with whom Keller has a long-standing relationship, and is one of the better tracks on the album instrumentally, behind perhaps only "Twinkle" with spot-on drumming from John Molo and freewheeling guitar from Steve Kimock. Perhaps the most mesmerizing on the album, "Twinkle" is an instrumental track that capsulizes an improv jam that one would expect to hear at a weekend festival. "Lil' Sexy Blues", another instrumental, employs a bluesy guitar along with the entrancing sound of tablas, creating a unique down-home yet Eastern jam.

"Restraint" is the only solo Keller Williams track on the album, a humorous jaunt about jumping bones. But a song like "Got No Feathers" makes you say "That's John Scofield" after about eight seconds, and displays the real breath of brilliance behind Dream. Unlike recent albums by Santana, Buddy Guy, and Jerry Lee Lewis, all amazing and iconic musicians in their own right, here Keller Williams brings in his heroes to play with him. The older artists are bringing in the currently-hot artists (Rob Thomas, really, Carlos?) to reach the popular audience, but Keller is paying homage to the icons, often taking a back seat to allow their magic to take over.

Rating: 3.5 out of 5 stars.

Visit Keller's website to listen to a podcast in his own words (and that of his guests) about the record. And click the album art to purchase at Amazon.

Artscape

Artscape Baltimore will run from July 20-22, 2007. The event, as always, is free. Baltimore bands can go to the website to apply for the music showcase. None of the msucial artists for this year have been announced yet.

And, hey, Artscape is so hip, it's even on MySpace.

Thrushes Release Party For Sun Come Undone March 10 At Ottobar

Thrushes

Local Baltimore shoegaze/noisepop band Thrushes are releasing their debut full-length LP Sun Come Undone on March 13. They are hosting an album release party at The Ottobar on March 10 along with Palomar, Water School, and Squaaks.

Casey from Thrushes was kind enough to send me a copy of the album, which I just grabbed out of the mailbox yesterday, packed with awesome promo material (love their buttons). I'm really digging it so far, so definitely check the band out at the link above, or listen to some songs on MySpace. Expect a review in the near future.

As March 11 Approaches, 311 Plans Nothing But Merch Sales This Year For 3-11 Day Or Thereafter

311

Fans of 311 can keep their calendars free for March 11 this year. While 3/11 has historically been celebrated amongst the band's fans as "three eleven day", 311 has posted that "there is no 3-11 Day show planned for 2007" and "3-11 Day has been an event that takes place every other year (2000, 2002, 2004, 2006)." It's an off year. So, along with the news that no events are planned for 3-11 day 2007, "At this time, there is no confirmed news on any tour dates or recording sessions" and "We look forward to bringing you more news about the band's future plans as soon as we have news to share." So, basically, 311 is taking some time off. Nothing wrong with that, guys. You're taking time off. Maybe a little, maybe a lot. We'll see you soon.

Oh, and starting tomorrow, there will be some good deals at The 311 Store. The sale runs through 3/11.

50 Cent Starts The War With Cam'ron, Still Loves Jim Jones

50 Cent

50 has decided he's going to bring it, with a video for "Funeral Music", featuring hearse rolling by with the "Cam'ron's Career" written on the side, and then continues a giant hip-hop cliche of G-Unit Soldiers (I thought we were done referring to rap cliques in a military fashion when No Limit went down) flashing guns, money, and scantily clad ladies. The coup de grace is the cartoon animation of Cam'ron's Lamborghini getting shot up, an apparent reenactment of the attempted carjacking in Washington, DC where Cam'ron was shot last year. Interestingly, 50 singles out Cam as the only Dipset member he's beefing with, stating that "From now on Jimmy's [Jim Jones] the boss of Dipset".

I love hip-hop beef as much as the next person, but 50 Cent is taking it to the level that plagues hip-hop today: unnecessary violence. I appreciate 50's attacking Cam's lyrical abilities in the song, but the guns? That is tired, Fif!

Justin Timberlake Has Something Special For You, Including A New Album

Justin Timberlake

Justin Timberlake performed at Madison Square Garden for the first time in 6 years Wednesday night, and Andy Samberg from Saturday Night Live joined him onstage to perform the ubiquitous viral sketch involving some belts with gift boxes that they did together on the show.

Thanks to Kristen for passing along the word on this one.

Cartoon Network CEO Resigns, Turner Broadcasting Buys Its Way Out Of Trouble

Cartoon Network

Granted, it's not music related, but the CEO of the Cartoon Network resigned today.

By now, we all know about the marketing stunt for Aqua Teen Hunger Force that caused a terrorism scare in Boston and led police to shut down bridges and send in the bomb squad.

I only want to point out the following:

"The agreement between Turner [Broadcasting, Cartoon Network's parent], Interference Inc. [the marketing agency] and several state and local agencies resolves any potential civil or criminal claims against the two companies.

Two men who authorities say were paid to place the devices in Boston have pleaded not guilty to placing a hoax device and disorderly conduct. Peter Berdovsky, 27, whose attorney has said also [sic] videotaped part of the police response, and Sean Stevens, 28, are both free on bond."

So, the companies that put these guys up to the task, giving them a job, buys their way out of any civil or criminal liability, but the two men are charged with crimes. Turner/Interference is the principal actor by putting these guys to work, and the principals have bought their way off the hook, but the poor citizens are still on it.
