The DJ-hosted webcast provides an eclectic mix of recordings old and new from across the globe whose drum tracks are worthy of examination, augmenting the music with intelligent talk about recording artists and music history.Ain't That a Groovehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00247988437297818788noreply@blogger.comBlogger18125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25411097.post-68622489649348087372015-07-06T14:48:00.001-07:002015-07-06T14:48:58.620-07:00<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" height="338" title="Click Here to donate!" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="258"><param name="movie" value="//funds.gofundme.com/Widgetflex.swf" /><param name="quality" value="high" /><param name="flashvars" value="page=aintthatagroove&template=3" /><param name="wmode" value="transparent" /><embed allowScriptAccess="always" src="//funds.gofundme.com/Widgetflex.swf" quality="high" flashVars="page=aintthatagroove&template=3" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="258" height="338"></embed></object>Ain't That a Groovehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00247988437297818788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25411097.post-75255147598749072442015-06-29T11:26:00.000-07:002015-06-29T11:26:07.366-07:00ATG's Kickstarter campaign ends on July 28<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 11px;">
Come for the door prizes, stay for the show, and give until you get your groove on! </div>

<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-size: 11px;">Because all of the shows currently available on </span><a href="http://live365.com/" style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-size: 11px;">live365.com</a><span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-size: 11px;"> are archived editions of the Ain't That a Groove, I’d like to begin developing new shows for ATG on a full-time basis. But this time I’m seeking Kickstarter funding to offset the costs of producing the show. Your generous support will enable me to once again deliver new, unknown, or under appreciated drum tracks to listeners on a regular basis, along with vital information about the recording artists who make the music magic happen.</span><span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-size: 11px;"> </span><span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-size: 11px;">Likewise, your support will enable me to support truly independent radio by playing what I damned well please on behalf of listeners who love great songs ‘what got’ great rhythm tracks ‘whenever’ and wherever they can be found —just as I've done throughout the show's history.</span><span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-size: 11px;"> </span></div>

When the show is funded, it will be available 24x7 on your computer or smartphone or Tivo — and maybe even on iTunes Radio. And FYI, sorry about the crappy Kickstarter video, but as my audio samples demonstrate, ATG’s webstream is a professional-level production in every way, and dare I suggest — engaging as well. </div>

<br />
<br />*Swear we saw Al Dimeloa getting on the good foot
<br />
<br />*Celebrate the return of the king...of afrobeat drumming
<br />
<br />*Load our 5A hornets with words of wisdom from hall-of-fame drummer, Hal Blaine
<br />
<br />*Take refuge on the planet Kobaia with visionary French drummer, Christian Vander
<br />
<br />...then exit stage left once and for all, with the music still playing
<br />
<br />
<br />This 31st edition of ATG, first webcast in September of 2010, is the final installment of our periodic program, Odds and Sods, featuring recordings old and new of pressing interest to drummers and other connoisseurs of high art and the fundamental wisdom of the big beat. After more than four years of custom-made webcasting, and 150 hours of DJ hosted, drum domintated music, Ain’t That a Groove will stop producing new shows this May, but not to worry, for the webcast will remain on the air for at least another year featuring archived editions of the show. Regrettably, your host has too many creative projects piled up in the garage and in the ol noggin to continue producing the webcast at the level of quality you’ve come to expect from this unique, microniche webcast.
<br />
<br /><strong>Today’s marathon webcast has a running time of approximatley nine hours </strong>and includes 55 recordings and 75 drummers. That’s 13 sets of music, including rock and pop, fusion and funk, undiscovered classics, contemporary jazz, and world music, plus one distributed set of slow songs what got drum tracks worthy of your attention. Of particular importance on today’s webcast are the following:
<br />
<br />
<br />*Jeff Watt’s cover of bjork’s newly emerging classic, 107 steps
<br />
<br />*Oz Noy’s new and improved definition of fusion
<br />
<br />*a little-known treatment of an oldy-but-goldie courtesy drummer Hal Blaine.
<br />
<br />*The illuminated delerium of Christian Vander’s rock opera, MDK, just
<br />arriving on mother earth from a deep space transmission originally
<br />solarcast on stardate 30315
<br />
<br />*A brief and finally futile analysis of the four-handed drumming algorhythm known as Dafnis Prieto
<br />
<br />As always, I do all of the research and production for the webcast, and pay all of the fees, but derive no income or perks of any kind from the endeavor. It's just for kicks.
<br />
<br />Until we meet again, I’m BK, in Phoenix, Arizona, reminding you to keep it funky, and let the drummer kick…</div>

I'll post other, genre-based editions of the webcast in the upcoming weeks, including jazz, world grooves, and percussion ensembles.<br /><br />The webcast has a running time just short of two hours, during which I spin sixteen rock-oriented songs, old and new, which I think deserve the attention of drummers and just-plain folks. As always, I aim to compile a wide ranging list of rock styles and influences, as well as tempos and moods, while mostly avoiding songs that you already know too well.<br /><br />For the first time, ATG's webcast features comments by our listeners, including reviews and analysis about songs by The BlackKeys, Porcupine Tree, Ringo Starr, and many more. In fact, listeners in 15 countries submitted more then 300 comments and analysis about the tracks featured on today's show. Most of the listener responses came from the United States, France, the Netherlands, and Taiwan, but I also received firm opinions about drums, drummers, and drum tracks from countries in Africa, the Middle East, and South America.<br /><br />The proposed playlist for the upcoming jazz edition of ATG will soon be posted at ainthatagroove.blogspot.com, and so there's still timeto get in the game as a analyst for ATG by submitting a comment about a recording featured on the jazz mix, or by introducing a featured artist and their catalog to our audience. As always, forward your words of wisdom to me at <a href="mailto:aintthatagroove@gmail.com">aintthatagroove@gmail.com</a>Ain't That a Groovehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00247988437297818788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25411097.post-14014577241060357382008-05-07T10:20:00.024-07:002008-05-07T11:26:25.599-07:00ATG's Proposed Playlist for May 08: Pop and Rock<span style="color:#000000;">If you want to be part of Ain't That a Groove's upcoming webcast, send your comments about any of the following songs to </span><a href="mailto:aintthatagroove@gmail.com"><span style="color:#000000;">aintthatagroove@gmail.com</span></a><span style="color:#000000;">. I'll read your comments 'on the air' and attribute them to you. My goal is to use between two and four listener comments per song for no less than half of the recordings featured on the show. Naturally, if you don't like a song or drum track, I'll probably not use your comment about same unless it demonstrates exceptional insight -- or humor.<br /><br />There are lots of ways to discuss the artists and songs on this month's pop and rock set. You could, for example....<br /><br /></span><span style="color:#000000;"></span><ul><li><span style="color:#000000;">Explain what you like about a featured drum track</span></li><br /><li><span style="color:#000000;">Analyze the technical merits of a featured drum track</span></li><br /><li><span style="color:#000000;">Introduce a featured artist and discuss their discography</span></li><br /><li><span style="color:#000000;">Explain why you think a particular artist or recording is important</span></li><br /><li><span style="color:#000000;">Point listeners in the direction of similar recordings</span></li></ul><p><span style="color:#000000;">Here are several examples of comments already submitted by ATG listeners for May’s pop and rock webcast. The track they are discussing is entitled Pure, from The New Mastersounds’ CD, This is What We Do. </span></p><ul><li><span style="color:#000000;">From Brooklyn, Robert Z says, “This is quite the ear candy. Once you start listening to this Mastersounds’ CD, it’s almost impossible to hit the stop button.”<br /></span></li><li><span style="color:#000000;">And in the windy city, drummer and conguero Tom writes: “what a nice treat: trapdrum tracks and conga drum tracks that are very well recorded. And FYI, this is a great record to play along with.

The content in the drumming abandanza is three hours long, and includes appearances by drummers Kim Plainfield, Dallas Taylor, Gavin Harrison, Dave Weckl, Jeff Ballard, Evelyn Glennie, and 21 others who’ve got boogie on the brain. Of particular importance on this edition of ATG are brief tributes to saxophonist Michael Brecker and record man, Ahmet Ertegun.<br /><br />And finally, allow me to remind you that ATG remains a non-profit, community services station.

The show is 2.5 hours long, and includes appearances by Ed Palermo's Big Band, TV on the Radio, Gateway, The Concordia Orchestra, Gary Novak,Paul Motian, and illustrious others. Because ATG 24 was designed for webcast during the Winter Solstice, it also includes several drum tracks suitable for the holidays.<br /><br /><span style="color:#006600;"><span style="font-size:130%;">Playlist</span> </span><br /><br /><strong>Tribute<br /></strong>James Brown, Tell Me What I Did Wrong, Star Time<br /><br /><strong>First Set<br /></strong>Jack DeJohnette, How's Never, Selected Recordings<br /><br />Frank Zappa, A Pound for a Brown on the Bus, Uncle Meat<br /><br />The Ed Palermo Big Band,<br />A Pound for a Brown on the Bus,<br />...Take Off Your Clothes When You Dance<br /><br />John McLaughlin, New Blues/Old Bruise, Industrial Zen<br /><br />Beck, Soldier Jane, The Information<br /><br /><strong>Christmas Un-Classic<br /></strong>Elvis Presley, Santa Claus is Back in Town,<br />...The King of Rock 'n' Roll: The Complete 50's Masters (Disc 3)<br /><br /><strong>Percussion Ensembles<br /></strong>The Concordia Orchestra,<br />Ogoun Badagris For Percussion Ensemble,<br />...Christopher Rouse: Passion Wheels<br /><br /><strong>Blast from the Past </strong><br />Blues Image, Clean Love, Open<br />Funkadelic, Trash a Go Go, Cosmic Slop<br /><br /><strong>Pop and Rock </strong><br />Screaming Headless Torsos, Smile in a Wave, 95<br />TV on the Radio, Playhouses, Return to Cookie Mountain<br />The Black Keys, Just Got to Be, Magic Potion<br />Los Lobos, Chuco's Cumbia, The Town and the City<br /><br /><strong>Jazz or Thereabouts</strong><br />Pat Metheny & Brad Meldauh, Ring of Life,<br />...Metheny Meldauh<br /><br />Allan Holdsworth, The Drums were Yellow,<br />...The Sixteen Men of Tain<br /><br />Paul Motian Band, Manhattan Melodrama, Garden of Eden,<br /><br />Duke Ellington, Tymperturably Blue, Jazz Party<br /><br /><strong>Potpourri</strong><br />Souad Massi, Mahli, Honeysuckle<br /><br />Jack McDuff, Greasy Drums,<br />...The Soulful Drums of Joe Dukes<br /><br />Bogdan Bacanu, Forever, Rhythms of Life<br /><br /><strong>Sign Off</strong><br />James Brown, Go Power at Christmas,<br />...James Brown Funky ChristmasAin't That a Groovehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00247988437297818788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25411097.post-1161556930078435882006-10-22T15:39:00.000-07:002007-01-14T14:19:52.776-08:00ATG's webcast for October & November 2006<span style="font-size:130%;">Webcast Title</span>: ATG 23<br /><span style="font-size:130%;">Webcast Date</span>: beginning Sunday, October 22, 2006<br /><span style="font-size:130%;">Webcast Time</span>: daily at 9-11 AM and 7-9 PM (MST)<br /><br />This month on ATG we'll raise a glass of Pabst Blue Bubbly to Wayne's World; do a funked-up hit from the Yellowjackets' personal stash; sample King Curtis' Memphis Soul Stew; make a small improvement to mother nature -- changing hummingbirds into drummingbirds; and trade-in a couple of minor drumming rudiments for a magical cauldron that bestows the gift of song upon the owner.<br /><br />This month's webcast is the 23rd edition of ATG, first posted the week of October 22, 2006. Of particular importance on this month's show are tracks from a one-man band named Nino Maschella, the masada rock of John Zorn, Bobby Previte's musical call to arms, and Jack DeJohnette's tribute to Tony Williams.<br /><br /><span style="font-size:130%;">Known Errors</span> (as of 10/22):<br />1. During the webcast, the host mistakenly identifies Bobby's Previte's Versificator as Airstrip One.<br />2. On the low-bandwidth webcast ("drummagic"), there is a small but significant amount of noise on the host's vocal tracks. There is no such noise on the master tracks, only on the webstream. I am looking into this matter, and I believe it originates with the newly defined "normalization" standards imposed on ATG's tracks by live365's servers.<br /><br /><span style="font-size:130%;">Playlist</span><br /><br /><strong>Opening Set: Fusion</strong><br />John McLauglin, Wayne’s World, Industrial Zen<br />John Zorn, Chorek, Masada Rock<br />Oz Noy, Say What?, Ha!<br /><br /><strong>2nd Set: Rock and Hiphop<br /></strong>Nino Moschella, Strong Man, The Fix<br />The Codetalkers, Ike Stubblefield, Now<br />The Roots, Here I Come, Game Theory<br /><br /><strong>3rd Set: Funk<br /></strong>Joshua Redman’s Elastic Band, Shut Your Mouth, Momentum<br />The Yellowjackets, Boomtown, Mint Jam<br /><br /><strong>4th Set: Unknown or Forgotten Gems</strong><br />Deep Purple, Listen, Learn, Read On, The Book of Taliesyn<br />King Curtis, Memphis Soul Stew, Live at Fillmore West<br /><br /><strong>5th Set: Percussion Ensemble<br /></strong>Terry Bozzio, Untitled, Chamber Works<br />Bob Moses and Billy Martin, Rumble in the Jungle, Drummingbirds<br /><br /><strong>6th Set: Contemporary Rock<br /></strong>Brazilian Girls, Talk to the Bomb, Talk to the Bomb<br />Bobby Previte, Versificator, The Coalition of the Willing<br /><br /><strong>Final Set: Jazz<br /></strong>Soulful Drums, Idris Mohammad, Legends of Acid Jazz: Idris Mohammad<br />Trio Beyond, Love in Blues, SaudadesAin't That a Groovehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00247988437297818788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25411097.post-1158959996086953572006-09-22T14:17:00.000-07:002006-10-22T15:46:06.583-07:00ATG's Webcast for August and September<strong><span style="font-size:130%;color:#000000;">Webcast Title</span></strong>: ATG 22<br /><strong><span style="font-size:130%;color:#000000;">Webcast Date</span></strong>: beginning Sunday, August 19, 2006<br /><strong><span style="font-size:130%;color:#000000;">Webcast Time:</span></strong> daily at 9-11 AM and 7-9 PM (MST).<br /><br /><span style="color:#000000;"><strong>Sign On<br /></strong></span>This month on Ain’t That a Groove we’ll listen to a tribute to the Keystone Kops from trumpeter Dave Douglas; dig Tony Williams’ flamdiddle portrait of the redoubtable Mr. Spock; make a small, bloodless sacrifice to the Hawaiian God of War; summon the spirit of Black Elk in the fight against global warming; and dare to lend a lobe to the funk philosophy of the Screaming Headless Torsos.<br /><br />This edition of ATG is the 22nd installment of our periodic program, Odds and Sods, first broadcast August 19, 2006.
