Al Green released a string of albums in the early seventies that is unmatched for consistency by any other soul singer. These back to back gems are: Get’s Next To You (1971), Let’s Stay Together (1972), I’m Still In Love With You (1972), Call Me (1973). Although this early music features elements of gospel, its main appeal is the tight beat, sexy backing vocals, and lush strings.

In early 2008 Al Green released Lay It Down, an album of new songs that is significant for its choice of producers. The legendary gospel singer teamed with Hip Hop producers Ahmir Guestlove Thompson and James Poyser. Many of the songs feature guest appearances by Anthony Hamilton, Corinne Bailey Rae and John Legend. Even with this wide combination of talent, the music still sounds nostalgic and reminiscent of classic Al Green albums. The arrangements sound circa 1973. But the true magic is still the voice. When the occasion calls for it, Al Green can still belt out a song like there is no tomorrow.

When you’re listening to the above mentioned classics, you can add Lay It Down to the mix. In fact, Lay It Down is a good soundtrack for any romantic evening at home. And it’s pretty damn good music for 2008.

Voting in the Festive 50 closes in November - so go and vote now at
http://www.dandelionradio.com

Andrew Morrison:
Andy's November show features two more exclusively-recorded live songs from Alex Canasta's album launch party in Copenhagen, along with competitions to win Avrocar's latest album and the new single from Lonely Ghosts. Andy's been organising his collection of listener demos, and has picked out several superb unsigned tunes you shouldn't miss. You'll also hear an extraordinarily rare piece of vinyl from New Order, as well as Scott's Funky Five Minutes and Teresa's Tasty Tips. Other track selections include Dope Aviators, The Hot Toddies, Atomizer and Nine Black Alps. Additionally, Andy will be reminding you to vote in the 2008 Festive Fifty before the poll closes on 30th November!

Dubster:
There has never been a better time to invest in Radiodubster!
Yes, as the credit crunch bites harder, our lucky listeners will receive a 50% dividend, meaning the November show will be a whopping 3 hours long as opposed to our standard rate of 2.
Listeners will also receive an excellent portfolio of new music from the likes of Vivian Girls, Brendan Canning, Sian Alice Group and Little Boots. Featured artists Dirty Summer and Dragonette will also be included as part of this special offer.
So forget about your pensions, shares and ISAs that collectively wouldn't cover the down payment on a Mars bar now. Instead, invest 3 hours of your time this month in the company of Steve and Brian, and lets face the music and dance!
(Terms and conditions apply, your home may be at risk if you do not listen to their mindless drivel)

Jeff Grainger:
November sees The Grainger open his Dandelion Radio Session account with an absolute blinder from Dalmation Rex and the Eigentones (and NOT "Dandelion Rex"... as I announce at least once).
This, five track exclusive is a superb piece of work, with a very accurate description of the DJ's here at Dandelion to boot. The Session also ties in just lovely with the bands appearance at Oldham's Dandelion Radio Night3 at The Castle on the 27th of November (and NOT the 29th as I announce at least twice!) Dalmation Rex will be joined on the bill by Manchester's Gnu and the Shrew and Patrice and Pierre. Hence we'll hear tracks by these two acts as well.
The rest of the broadcast will include highlights from November's new releases; Polly Scattergood, Dr Meaker, Machine Boy and Mia Vigar. We'll have a couple of Myspace finds; Crissie Black and Naomi Elizabeth, horrendous mispronunciation and bad grammar from yours truly and, shockingly, for the first time since the debut broadcast way back in August a track by Boards of Canada.

Marcelle:
Rodents In Need

Acclaimed Dutch deejay, Marcelle, presents her first show on Dandelion Radio. Some listeners might find that it echoes the smell of rats piss. For others the distinct odour of vinyl might be present.
The more experienced listener will even detect the sounds of a single room, the Spanish Revolution and a Dutch postal code.
In short: her show is quite an adventure. A Dandelion Adventure as will be clear from the very first seconds. From weird German noises to scratchy (and smelly) sounds from Ghana and from Barcelona dubstep to an American religious fanatic: everything a 21st century radio listener wishes for is there.
More than that: one of the greatest female bands of the UK gets played, plagiarised and sampled in only ten minutes. There's even an English-Dutch 'supergroup'.
Get Out Clause included. Also comes with 100% vinyl guarantee.

Mark Cunliffe:
Ello, ello, ello. It's not the dead of winter yet but Mount Sims are already Breaking The Ice. Some bloke called Boz will be Boring you down to the last Atom. King Cannibal can't spell Origami but he does it in Style and don't tell the RSPCA but there's a Catkiller on the show. King Clarentz comes back with a tune that might well be BIGGER than last months....not possible....SURELY!!
There's a great cover of an Al Green song from the C-Funk camp. TRG serves up some seriously twisted dubstep. thee vicars show us just how Bury St Edmunds sounds these days....and finally....for the main event, the MASTER of gangsta folk himself Babar Luck comes at us live from The Vic in Derby. It's a show heavier than me after an all you can eat mackerel buffet....

Mark Whitby:
With Mark trying to find room for everything that's tickled his fancy over the last few months, November's show was always going to be a bit special and was always going to be a veritable aural treat of three hours. There's a featured label in the shape of France's Al Dente records to get your teeth into as well as tracks from a torrent of plastic that's understandably seen 2008 labelled 'the year of the EP, or mini-album, or whatever you want to call it', in Mark's house at least. This means you get a particularly choice fruit from the collaboration between The Mountain Goats & Kaki King, more from Samantha Crain & the Midnight Shivers as well as the band that ate Cheshire, Uncle Meat & The Midnight Children and California dreamers Rainbow Arabia.
And of course the fun doesn't stop there. There are tracks from new or new-ish albums from frenzied guitar maniacs Wino, the much-awaited CD from Old School Tie, and more from the celebrated collections from Stereolab and Los Campesinos. Add to this new singles from Calvin Party and Dr Slaggleberry and you have the perfect recipe to see you through the long winter months. Or at least one of them.

Pete Jackson:
As the nights draw in, settle down for a feast of Autumnal fun with new tunes from Mogwai, Toddla T, Lord Numb and King Cannibal plus a couple of re-issued calssics from The Jesus and Mary Chain and The Smiths. Throw in some crispy remixes, including Soulwax messing with a dancefloor classic, and the always-entertaining company of Mark E. Smith, and the long evenings will just fly by.

Rachael Neiman:
In November’s 'Rachael Neiman Experience' we wrap up warm and enjoy some chilly winter themed tunes from the likes of The Action Time, Icicles and The Lovely Eggs as well as some brilliant new tracks from Ten Tigers, Hearts!Attack, Los Campesinos!, Mia Vigar, Johnny Foreigner, Pelle Carlberg, The Deirdres and a track from the amazing Fall covers album by Globo featuring contributions from Lisa and Jan from Bearsuit. This month’s golden oldie comes from The Magnetic Fields.

Rocker:
This month's 3-hour show is as usual packed with new sounds - featured LP is the debut from The Brazen, there's a whole bunch of tracks from those little mini-CD EPs, and the last 20 minutes of the show is all French-related (hope Neil hasn't already played it all). Also this month there's a whole slew of new singles - from Horowitz, Comet Gain, The Lovely Eggs, The Manhattan Love Suicides, Ida Maria, Way Out West, Jim Rivers, Liechtenstein, and I unwittingly play the new single by Emmy the Great.
There's a fantastic remix of the Mystery Jets by Duke Dumont - luckily he has pretty much remixed any trace of the original out of the track, and a new track by Pete Wylie about the death of Margaret Thatcher. Also there's a rather surprising (and successful) venture into dubstep from ace Drum'n'bass duo Chase & Status.
There's a King Tubby dub of Augustus Pablo, as well as a track in tribute to Alton Ellis following his recent sad demise. This month's Peel's Big 45 is a Country & Western track from 1980 by one of the original 50s rock'n'rollers.
As well as little known acts, here's this month's little known fact: Medomalacuphobia is the fear of losing an erection.

Simon Hickinbotham:
My show for this month includes new discoveries from Ireland raw gash and some of his mates, three tracks from Finland by three different artists and some old gospel music by Roscoe Robinson. We get some grunting from Beijing via the Hanggai Band, plus strange bass noises from Japan via So Hey. Shana hopla hoi!

Interview with No More Kings

(Oct 28, 2008)


Q: Hey Pete/No More Kings, how have you been?
A: We've been well, thanks! We've had a bit of a break from touring. and we just finished recording our second album.

Q: For those who don't know No More Kings, can you give us a short introduction of the band and the music?
A: The elevator pitch, eh? i guess 'No More Kings' is a pop-funk-rock band, with songs about the Karate Kid, Smurfs, and zombies. sonically, we're somewhere between Maroon 5 and Jamiroquai.

Q: You released an impressive debut album in 2007, which has been received quite well. How would you describe the self-titled debut?
A: Thank you! The originally concept for the album was that it was a 'thank you letter' to the 80's, for raising me. I grew up, essentially, in front of a television. So I've had all these things rattling around in my head for years. And when it came time to write an album, it made sense to pay tribute to some of those movies and tv shows that influenced me growing up. There are a few, more introspective songs on the album too. but the whole project is pretty light-hearted and fun.

Q: Obviously a lot of inspiration for the album was drawn from modern pop culture and tv. Why the fascination with specifically this and what made you write songs and record an album about all this?
A: Oops. I think I accidentally answered this above. Sorry.

Q: A lot of time goes into creating and producing an album and there are many things going on in the process. What is the toughest and what is the most rewarding part of the whole process?
A: Wow, great question! Well, there were a lot of both really: tough parts and rewarding parts. I wrote all the songs with my writing partner Neil Robins, who I've been great friends with since high school. So we were very open with each other, and didn't really worry about pulling punches. Co-writing can be a delicate thing - collaboration of any kind, really - and so there's a lot of back-and-forth that happens. The challenge then becomes how do you make something that fits both people's sensibilities, while becoming something new entirely. 'No More Kings' has such a specific fingerprint that we had to constantly pull back and ask, 'is this the right feel?' But honestly, every new step was a giant reward. we worked with some fantastic musicians on this album, so it was really exciting to record with them, and see it all come together. And then when we took everything to be mixed, there was a whole new level of excitement. And of course getting the final packaging in my grubby little hands was the greatest feeling!

Q: You have to decide which songs will or will not make the album. How hard is it to make that final decision as to what songs make or don't make it?
A: I guess normally that would be a difficult process, since each song can feel very precious to you. I've heard artists talk about their songs like they were their children. Which means someone like Billy Joel has thousands of children. Weird. But for us, it was really just a matter of running out of time. There was only one song that didn't make the album, a song called 'Missy'. And the only reason was that we ran out of time to record the final vocal tracks. Of course, there were tons of song ideas that didn't make the cut, for other reasons. but those never got a chance to become full songs.

Q: Which of the songs on the album is the most interesting to perform live?
A: I really like performing 'Umbrella'. it sort of comes and goes like a rainstorm, you know, very simple and soft beginning, then it builds and finally trickles away with just piano. It's a lot of fun to get lost in.

Q: Currently, what are your plans and goals for the (near) future? And how do you plan on accomplishing those goals?
A: We have a lot of similar goals that we had with the first album, for our new album: make a video that we can be proud of, tour, etc. But this time around we want to really push the limits of what we can do online. We're looking into streaming live shows, making lots of fun short video content, animations, doing live video chats with fans. We obviously want to grow our fanbase, but more than that we want to really connect with the fans we already have.

Q: Who would you say are the main influences on your sound and songwriting?
A: I grew up listening to Michael Jackson, The Beatles, Billy Joel, Boston; that kind of stuff. Neil and I both had a steady diet of 60s and 70s funk groove stuff like Sly & The Family Stone, Bill Withers, Al Green, The Isley Brothers. I guess we just sort of tried to mash that stuff together.

Q: If you could play a show anywhere in the world, where would you want to play?
A: Definitely Tokyo. I lived in Japan for a while, and I was in a band there. We mostly played small venues. But when the 'No More Kings' project started back up, I instantly wanted to play big shows in Japan.

Q: And if you could also pick someone to play that gig with, who would it be?
A: Ahh! That's a tough one! Barry Manilow?

Q: What is the best thing and the worst thing about being a musician?
A: The best thing is all the free gummi bears in the green room. The worst thing is 10 hours in a sweaty van.

Q: Where can we find more information on No More Kings?
A: The best place is www.nomorekings.com , but myspace.com/nomorekings has some good stuff too.

Q: Okay a few random questions now.
Q: Who was the best songwriter in The Beatles?
A: Well George was the most consistent. All of his songs are awesome. But for me, Paul is best. I love his melodies and epic arrangements.

Q: Day or night?
A: Night

Q: Club venue or arena venue?
A: Yikes. Club I guess? But a cool club. Like a swank Austin Powers lounge type club. I don't think we're quite the arena rock band.

Q: CDs or digital music?
A: aren't CDs digital music? Is this a trick question? I'm curious what the next format will be. Music-fruit. You have to eat it to hear the songs. "Dude, you hear the new NMK album yet? It comes in banana and cantelope"

Q: Okay, final question. What are your thoughts on people downloading music, both legally & illegally?
A: My official thoughts are that people should pay for stuff they consume: movies, music, art, books. And I think most people want to. as long as there's a safe, convenient way to do it. I absolutely hate all the precautionary measures that companies take to keep their stuff from being stolen. I bought a cd the other day and it asked for a blood sample before it would play in my car. It's all becoming a little 1984 big brother. But obviously, as an artist, I want as many people as possible to see/hear my art. I just hope that enough people pay for it to make it possible to keep making more.

Comments?

Al Green
Love & Happiness

I used to hear this song played by David Sanborn.
His Live CD was one of my favorite in my college days.

1. How did you get into 29? (Nickel Creek)
To be honest, I don't really remember. I heard one of their songs a long time before I actually got into them and I really liked it, but it wasn't until years later that I got into them. I believe it was when I was getting really heavy into Alison Krauss and was branching out for more bluegrass to listen to.

2. What was the first song you ever heard by 22? (Jack Johnson)
"Sitting, Waiting, Wishing," believe it or not. I know a lot of people that knew him before that, but I guess he didn't really start getting popular until "In Between Dreams" came out, so it's not that much of a shock.

3. What's your favorite lyric by 33? (Aly & AJ)
I try not to listen too closely to their lyrics, honestly.

4. How did you get into 49? (Rihanna)
I liked "Pon de Replay" when it first came out, but she was one in a large group of similar artists that came out right around the same time. Ciara was a lot bigger than Rihanna, and I had Rihanna pegged as a Ciara wannabe. Since I didn't like Ciara that much, I didn't go for Rihanna, either. Then I heard "S.O.S.," and that was it for me. I still didn't pick up her first album until just recently, though.

5. How many albums by 13 do you own? (Whitney Houston)
Four. ("Whitney," "Whitney Houston," "I'm Your Baby Tonight," and "My Love is Your Love.")

6. What is your favorite song by 50? (Mariah Carey)
"Always Be My Baby," without a doubt.

7. Is there a song by 39 that makes you sad? (Alison Krauss & Union Station)
All Alison Krauss sings are sad songs. Luckily, most of them have an upbeat enough tempo to keep me from crying. "New Favorite" kills me, though, and Alison's cameo on Brad Paisley's "Whiskey Lullaby" makes me cry almost every time.

8. What is your favorite song by 15? (Teena Marie)
As much as my husband hates this, "Robbery" is my favorite song by Lady T.

9. What is your favorite song by 5? (Gavin DeGraw)
It used to be "Chariot," but right now it's "Medicate the Kids."

10. Is there a song by 6 that makes you happy? (Jem And The Holograms)
Uhm, every single song they've ever released makes me happy. Even the shitty ones.

11. What is the worst song by 40? (Ingrid Michaelson)
To be honest, I've only listened to the first half of her album, but I've listened to it a lot. I don't really think any of those six songs are bad, though.

12. What is your favorite song by 10? (Alanis Morissette)
That's a tough one, since all of her albums are so varied. I'll have to say "One," though, if forced to pick.

13. What is a good memory you have involving 30? (Atmosphere)
I don't really have any memories associated with Atmosphere.

14. What is your favorite song by 38? (Kelis)
I like lots of her songs. "Fire" is probably the one I play the most often, though.

15. Is there a song by 19 that makes you happy? (Alicia Keys)
"No One," but it is a bittersweet kind of happy, because it makes me think of my husband.

16. Is there a song by 25 that makes you sad? (Emmylou Harris)
"Red Dirt Girl" was the most immediate, but "Little Bird" makes me sad because it reminds me of my ex.

17. What is the first song you ever heard by 23? (Kathleen Edwards)
"The Lone Wolf."

18. What's your favorite lyric by 11? (Nellie McKay)
I don't really know. I like most of her stuff, but there's no one specific set of lyrics that really sticks out in my head as better than the rest (which is not necessarily a bad thing.)

19. Who is a favorite member of 1? (Aimee Mann)
I'm going to have to go with Aimee.

20. Is there a song by 14 that makes you happy? (Tilly and the Wall)
All of their songs make me happy, because I love them, but I would probably have to say "Bad Education."

21. What is a good memory involving 27? (Regina Spektor)
I don't really have good memories associated with Regina Spektor. She sometimes makes me think about my ex, since he introduced me to her, but normally it's just whatever. I don't have any friends that like Regina Spektor, so I just haven't built any memories other than me driving in the car singing to myself at the top of my lungs.

22. What is your favorite song by 16? (Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings)
"Something's Changed."

23. What is the first song you ever heard by 47? (Maria Mena)
"You're The Only One."

24. What is your favorite album by 18? (Ben Taylor)
Probably "Another Run Around The Sun," although I really love "Famous Among The Barns," too.
