Triple Servings: “Wicked Games” — Served by Chris Isaak, Washed Out and the Koala Bears

Triple Servings

Triple Servings: “Wicked Games” — Served by Chris Isaak, Washed Out and the Koala Bears

Country and soothing adult contemporary joined perfectly for Chris Isaak’s 1989 hit song, “Wicked Game.” The hazy melody coupled with Isaak’s dreamy baritone made for the ultimate, slow-burning chart topper. And let’s not forget that music video — a smoky-eyed and scantily-clad Helena Christensen rolling around on the beach with (continued…)

Triple Servings: “He Hit Me (It Felt Like a Kiss)” — Served by The Crystals, Courtney Love and Grizzly Bear

If you threw a rock into the early 1960s music scene, you would hardly go a yard without hitting dozens of dreamy girl groups. That was the heyday of bands with Phil Spector-pioneered groups like The Blossoms and the Ronettes, in addition to groups like the wonderfully-named The Shangri-Las. But (continued…)

Triple Servings: Ring Of Fire

Triple Servings

“Ring of Fire” — Served by Johnny Cash, Appetite and Stacie Buhler

Few singers have left indelible marks on whole genres of music like Johnny Cash. The Man in Black released his first album, “Johnny Cash with His Hot and Blue Guitar” in 1957 and went on to deliver almost 100 more albums, among them numerous collaborations, Gospel releases and movie soundtracks.

Triple Servings: “I Wanna be Your Dog” Served by The Stooges, We Are Like the Spider and Portable Morla

What riff is more snarling and explosive than The Stooges’ “I Wanna Be Your Dog?” Released in 1969 on the band’s eponymous debut album, the track is one of the best examples of the Stooges’ punk meets psychedelic aesthetic. Led by Iggy Pop, one of the most influential frontmen of (continued…)

Triple Servings: “Sheena is a Punk Rocker” Served by the Ramones, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs and the London Punkharmonic Orchestra

Sit down any major rock star and they’ll tell you that one of the coolest and most influential rock bands of all time was the Ramones. With their black on black uniform of skinny jeans, leather jackets and wild hair, the Ramones oozed rock‘n’roll spirit from every pore. On top (continued…)

Triple Servings: “There is a Light that Never Goes Out” Served by The Smiths, The Cranberries and the Dum Dum Girls

Triple Servings: “There is a Light that Never Goes Out” Served by The Smiths, Dum Dum Girls and Amarante

  ne of the pivotal scenes in the romantic, yet self-professed ‘not a love story’ indie film “500 Days of Summer” is when Joseph Gordon-Levitt’s character falls head over heels in love with Zooey Deschanel’s manic pixie dream girl persona when she professes her love for The Smiths. The song (continued…)

Triple Servings: “Seven Nation Army” Served by the White Stripes, the Flaming Lips and Ben l’Oncle Soul

Triple Servings: “Seven Nation Army” Served by the White Stripes, the Flaming Lips and Ben l’Oncle Soul

It’s hard to imagine modern rock‘n’roll without Jack White. The guy is a guitar wizard and one half of the White Stripes, an influential band responsible for taking bare-bones, blue-eyed soul to the masses.  And he didn’t stop there; the rocker created two other bands—The Raconteurs and the Dead Weather—and (continued…)

LISTEN: Arctic Monkeys — “R U Mine?”

Almost ready to embark on a whirlwind tour opening for U.S. rock ‘n’ roll juggernauts the Black Keys, the Arctic Monkeys released a rip-roaring jam this week  titled “R U Mine?” The song also comes with a black and white video courtesy of Focus Creeps, the crew responsible for all (continued…)

Triple Servings: “I Will Always Love You” — Served by Dolly Parton, Whitney Houston and Jennifer Hudson

Served by Dolly Parton Served by Whitney Houston Served by Jennifer Hudson Many people will forever associate the song “I Will Always Love You” with the late, great Whitney Houston. And how can you not? Her voice reaches impossibly high vocal heights that most people can only dream of. However, (continued…)

LISTEN: The Shins — “September”

There’s no band that evokes the sense of familiar nostalgia like The Shins. The group gained mainstream popularity in the early 2000s when their songs were featured in films like Garden State and A Guy Thing as well as on TV shows like The OC and The Gilmore Girls. After (continued…)

LISTEN (And Watch): Madonna’s Superbowl Sunday Performance

Rather than giving everyone a typical Listen for today, I’m going to suggest that everyone watch the day’s most talked-about performance: Madonna killing it at the Superbowl halftime show. Madonna mesmerized in gold and black Givenchy, and joining her onstage were LMFAO, Nicki Minaj, M.I.A., and Cee Lo Green. Her (continued…)

LISTEN: Jack White — Love Interruption

As all good White Stripes fans know, February 2 marks the anniversary of the talented twosome’s retirement from the music industry (I know I’ll be holed up in my room, crying silently while “Elephant” spins on my record player). And yet, Jack White released a new solo single today called (continued…)

Triple Servings: “Katy On a Mission” Served By Katy B, Loadium Beats and Arctic Monkeys

Served by Katy B Served by Loadium Beats Served by Arctic Monkeys Let me preface this edition of Triple Servings by saying that artists crossing genres is not a new thing. Sometimes it’s horribly upsetting and ill-fitting (punk goes crunk, Kid Rock going country, and other things I wish had (continued…)

LISTEN: Arctic Monkeys — “You and I” Featuring Richard Hawley

Brit rockers Arctic Monkeys delighted fans with a brand new song and music video for “You and I,” the b-side to their latest single “Black Treacle.” The track primarily features vocals from legendary English singer Richard Hawley and his imperfectly perfect quaffed pompadour and smoky, bourbon-soaked voice.
