2) MUSICIAN / FILMMAKING DUO DEBUTS NEW FILM SATURDAY NIGHT IN L.A.
+
MICHAEL GLOVER & ROBYN ROSENKRANTZ won the prestigious “Mumbai Film Festival” for Best Comedy Feature Film in movie-crazy India a few years ago. The pair’s other, musical, identity is BRIGHT BLUE GORILLA, and under that guise, they’ve released five CDs. We’ve written about them in the Guide when they’re in town to perform, and we covered the premiere of the film that went on to win in Mumbai. They’re not easy to track-down. They now live in Europe.
+
Saturday night, you can share the premiere with them and some of the cast members of their new film, “Lose with English” at the Downtown Independent Theater in L.A. (address below). It’s BBG’s fourth feature film.
+
We haven’t seen a preview or a trailer. But we can tell you that doubly-accomplished musician and actor DAVID ZINK, the only cast member who has acted in all their films, tells us, “This is the funniest work they’ve ever done.”
+
The premise for the main character, named English Jones, is “From top star to has-been, how the mighty fall.” And we know he is being pursued by hit men.
+
International troubadour BRETT PERKINS acts in this one, too. But he’ll miss the premiere, since he’s already in Europe for the tour of the EDITED trio, whose CD just debuted last Sunday at the Sierra Madre Playhouse. (The Guide’s Geo. McCalip will bring a review next week.) It’s a small world, since DAVID ZINK, together with MARK DAVIS, are Brett’s EDITED band mates.
+
Still, we expect a full house of fans of “BBG” and other cast members. You can get advance tix and learn more about the creative talents behind the film, and sample their music, at www.BrightBlueGorilla.com and you can rent the earlier BBG films, including “The Mind of Henry Lime,” winner at Mumbai, at www.realeyz.tv. The premiere, including a pre-screening concert by BBG and BRIAN JOSEPH, has “meet-and-greet” the cast at 7 pm, with the concert and then the screening at 8 pm.
+
It’s all at the Downtown Independent Theater, 251 S Main St, downtown Los Angeles 90012.

3) UBER-TALENTED ANNIE MOSCOW IS SUBJECT OF MAGAZINE FEATURE
+
We’ve all faced challenges as artists. ANNIE MOSCOW’s has been unique. Her husband and music collaborator decided that, inside, he was a woman. After the divorce from STEVE GOLD and his becoming RACHEL GOLD, the professional artistic partnership resumed.
+
Obviously, this is no ordinary story. Annie shared it all with Guide editor Larry Wines a few years ago, as it was happening. We didn’t tell the story then, deciding it was all too raw and too private until Annie and Rachel determined their places in a new reality that she had found Kakaesque when it began. (The Guide has consistently maintained the policy that an artist’s personal life is their own business, unless and until they wish to explore more publicly how it informs their art.)
+
For Annie, there have been considerable artistic achievements. She’s written songs for SARAH VAUGHN, SISTER SLEDGE, and MICKEY MOUSE. In a fine full-color feature in “Arizona Lifestyles” magazine, ANNIE MOSCOW, the classically-trained pianist, “consummate classical musician,” and multi-talented singer-songwriter, reveals the story of her ongoing journey, personally and professionally. One quote from the story: “She says her songs are genre-less, which is true, though it’s also true they at various times fit multiple genres including pop, rock, folk, jazz and even art song.” On top of that, she and Steve Gold enjoyed a period of success as children’s musicians both as recording artists with numerous song placements and as performers.
+
Those familiar with Annie’s music know some of that. But there is so much more. The new feature on Annie by KEVIN LaFAVE, appropriately titled “Annie Moscow, Heart & Soul,” appears as the magazine’s “Applause” feature this month. Read it, and you’ll applaud her creativity, her personal struggles with, and acceptance of, Steve as he became Rachel, and more. It chronicles her musical journey through 2007’s “Visible” – a critically-acclaimed but rather dark album whose themes are now easy to understand – to the light and open wings of her more recent work. It’s brilliantly expressed in the magazine’s alluring portrait of her downcast-eyed smile, one of several fine color photos in the article, and the release this month of her brand new CD, “Phoenix.”
+
Yes, the new album’s title is representative of much more than the Arizona city where she lives. It intentionally evokes the mythical bird that rises from its own ashes to a new life.
+
La Fave remarks, “Whatever else she is, Annie Moscow may be the most important Arizona musician you’ve never heard of.” He continues that he “is lucky to be able to change that [for the magazine’s readers],” in time for an important concert that Annie plays in a major Phoenix venue on February 5. You can learn more about Annie and her music at www.anniemoscow.com and you can find the Arizona Lifestyles feature on Annie at http://digital.turn-page.com/issue/24225/76

4) SARAH LEE GUTHRIE & JOHNNY IRION PLAYING L.A. & “LAST CALL WITH CARSON DALY”
+
Touring their new album, “Bright Examples,” the Guthrie family’s young generation has spring tour dates with VETIVER and MARTIN SEXTON, SXSW Showcases in Austin, and some California shows while they’re on the left coast for their appearance on late night TV’s “Last Call w/ Carson Daly.”
+
The TV gig is NOT the usual moment of quick introduction from the host at his desk, simply to facilitate three minutes (or less) of music, at the end of the show. Instead, on Tuesday, February 22, Sarah Lee & Johnny will release “Bright Examples,” their second full-length studio album, on Ninth Street Opus , and Carson Daly’s show will record the duo’s CD release performance that night at Hotel Café in Hollywood. The segment will air sometime in March.
+
The album is already collecting critical acclaim:
+
Glide Magazine says, “A laid back precision may be Bright Examples hallmark. That place where music surges gracefully like a passing river in a crystal moonlit night. This music is simultaneously hushed and vibrant, pulsing and meticulous, lucid and a little scruffy.”
+
Vintage Guitar Magazine writes, “The duo’s talent is obvious from the opening cut [of ‘Bright Examples’]. The guitar changes are stunning, the vocals magnificent… Here’s hoping we don’t have to wait five years for the next record from this fine duo.”
+
Relix Magazine says, “Right from the first chords of ‘Ahead of Myself,’ it’s clear that the duo has found the sweet spot for their music. As always, the voices weave a fine tapestry, but the more contemporary alt-country style moves them into another musical category. This folk royalty has truly carved its own equally charming path.”
+
Produced by VETIVER‘s ANDY CABIC and THOM MONAHAN (Vetiver, Devendra Banhart) and recorded at Dreamland Studios in Woodstock, NY, Bright Examples includes 12 original songs showcasing an entirely new electric sound for Sarah Lee and Johnny. Special guests on “Bright Examples” includes a reunion of original JAYHAWKS band mates GARY LOURIS and MARK OLSON on backing vocals, Vetiver’s drummer OTTO HOUSER, is on board, and singer-songwriter-guitarist NEAL CASAL contributes guitar . Casal did the album photography, too, and that’s notable: he is the photographer featured in the book “Ryan Adams: A View of Other Windows,” KEVIN BARKER and CHARLIE ROSE played pedal steel and flat picked guitars, and everybody’s favorite, RADISLAV LORKOVIC, did the piano tracks..
+
The album’s production, says Jesse Cutler of San Francisco-based JP Cutler Media, “is crisp, consistently imaginative and captures the spontaneity of the tracks being recorded live with a full ensemble. Sarah Lee & Johnny’s patented country-rock songwriting and rich vocal harmonies beautifully intertwine with Vetiver’s West Coast pastoral psych-rock aesthetic. Vibrant instrumental accents arrive via pedal steel guitar, accordion, piano, Hammond organ, and a wall of guitars.”
+
Are we bummed because the new project is electric, and not acoustic? Nah. We know ’em and we’ve followed their music. This’ll be good, live and on the new CD’s tracks.
+
In 2005, Sarah Lee & Johnny released their first full-length studio album, “Exploration.” Over the course of the last five years, they have consistently toured that album as a duo, and they were featured members of the “Guthrie Family Rides Again” tour in 2009 & 2010. In October, 2009, Sarah Lee released her debut family album, “Go Waggaloo” on Smithsonian Folkways. It received much critical praise. The duo released a live HD DVD, “Folksong” in 2009,, preceded by Irion’s second solo album, “Ex Tempore,” in 2007,
+
As Jesse Cutler observes, “It has been one nonstop whirlwind of activity for the husband and wife duo.”
+
Sarah Lee & Johnny’s focus in 2011 is squarely on “Bright Examples” and beyond. “We’re not going to wait another five years for the next record,” says Guthrie. “We’re on a roll now. ‘Bright Examples’ only includes a dozen songs out of the 50 tunes we’ve written over the past five years. We can’t wait to get back in the studio!”
+
Their California dates, amidst a bunch on the East Coast, are:
Wed, Feb 16 – AMSD Concerts – San Diego – with BLAME SALLY
Thu, Feb 17 – Sunset Sessions – San Diego
Fri, Feb 18 – Oasis House Concert – San Diego
Sat, Feb 19 – Steynberg Gallery – San Luis Obispo
Tue, Feb 22 – Hotel Café – Hollywood, for “Last Call with Carson Daly” taping at venue
Thu, Feb 24 – SOHO – Santa Barbara – with THE FAMILY TREES
Fri, Feb 25 – Swedish American Hall – San Francisco – “Noise Pop” with ALEXI MURDOCH, BART DAVENPORT, SILJE NES
+
Plus, catch them on the radio (or in L.A., on a web simulcast) on Sun, Feb 27, when they perform on “Mountain Stage” from Charleston, WV, with LUCINDA WILLIAMS, RED HORSE (JOHN GORKA, LUCY KAPLANSKY, ELIZA GILKYSON), THE LOW ANTHEM, and IVAN & ALYOSHA,

5) 50th ANNIVERSARY OF ARHOOLIE RECORDS BRINGS BIG BAY AREA SHOWS
+
This weekend brings a big live music celebration with three concerts for the 50th anniversary of Arhoolie Records.

8) JUST GIVE ME THAT LONE STAR BEER, AND BOB WILLS MUSIC…
+
So, went the lyrics of a fun honky-tonk song a few years back, by a songwriter and band we can no longer identify. But no question that the late BOB WILLS is an immortal. And we’ve got fresh news from the web site that keeps his classics in the minds of newer generations than those who got to see him perform.
+
Proclaiming, “Bob Wills is Still the King,” Dwight Adair, owner of www.bobwills.com, is always letting us know about new treasures he unearths and adds to the site. This time around, he says, “On the ‘Audio/Video’ page of our website, there has been an important improvement to the video interviews offered there. When you go to that page, as usual, one of five videos will be presented, selected randomly…BUT NOW you are able to click on any one of the ‘thumbnail’ stills of the other videos and be able to go directly to any other interview you choose, automatically. These thumbnails are directly below the playing video…so just make your desired selection and your chosen video interview of a former Texas Playboy will be streamed to you right away!”
+
That’s a real good thing, pard. It seems that so very many of today’s musicians continue to emulate and pay homage to BOB WILLS & THE TEXAS PLAYBOYS, from Austin’s wonderful HOT CLUB OF COWTOWN to L.A.’s COW BOP and the Bay Area’s SADDLE CATS, and that hardly scratches the surface (but it does name some of the best).
+
Y’know, we reckon a body ort ter be getting’ ready for another feature on the web site – that bein’, “Bob Wills Radio.” The next edition features WILL TAYLOR.

9) MARINA V TO PERFORM IN LONDON FOR SIR BOB GELDOF
+
She’s the classically-trained pianist, composer and songwriter from Moscow who is now an American citizen and who has added acoustic guitar to her repertoire. Her originals have appeared in television and movies. She seems to make news with her latest success on a regular basis, and since we’ve been happily familiar with Marina and her music for a long time, we’re always impressed but never surprised. The only surprise is that a major label still hasn’t signed her.
+
Marina wrote us from the road – she was in Austin – telling us, “I thought I’d share my big news with you guys! [I] have been announced as one of the finalists in the ‘YouBloom International Song Contest.’ Over 1,200 songs were entered and judged by a distinguished panel headed by the legendary and well respected industry veteran, Sir Bob Geldof. Mr. Geldof himself will be presenting [me] with [an] award.”
+
As a Top 4 finalist, YouBloom is flying Marina to London where she will perform at The Cobden Club. As a finalist Marina V has already has received much attention along with prize money of
2,000 euros.
+
Back home in L.A., Marina said, “I am extremely excited about coming to London to perform and very grateful to everyone at YouBloom for the opportunity that they have given me. I would also like to thank every one of my fans who took the time to vote online for the song ‘You Make Me Beautiful.’ My fans deserve much of the credit for without their love, support, and efforts my song may have never gotten in front of the panel of celebrity judges.”
+
Marina V has “a hauntingly beautiful voice” – L.A. Times
“Melodic and passionate music” – The Washington Post
“Angelic Voice” – Entertainment Today
And she is “An emerging musician you should know about” – The Huffington Post
+
Marina V’s latest CD, “My Star,” became available January 18, 2011, worldwide. There’s lots more on Marina V at www.marinav.com

10) WILL WE HEAR THE TOP 40 – FROM ANOTHER PLANET?
+
No, we haven’t drunk Glenn Beck’s Koolaid, or watched too many History Channel fantasies about ancient aliens (who did not, by the way, build the pyramids).
+
The source for this one is none other than NASA.
+
In a recent presentation on a new array of radio telescopes, spokesperson Priscilla Vega of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena said the new system, “could reveal radio waves coming from planets outside our solar system.”
+
But, won’t those radio waves – if we can find them – have some kind of, ahh, content?
+
For years, since the two Voyager spacecrafts were sent out of the solar system with those gold records of “The Sounds of Earth,” people have joked that the first message we receive from an alien civilization might be, “Send more Chuck Berry.”
+
Of course, Ms. Vega is focused on detecting planets by listening to radio signals at the wavelengths that the new array will detect. We can’t help but wonder what would be generating those signals.
+
Most likely, they’ll come from gas giants like Jupiter, which makes so much noise that you can hear the racket from the big planet as some of the static your radio picks up. But that doesn’t mean there are no signals from a Klingon version of I Love Lucy.
+
Back to the science. The project is quite impressive and, in terms of scale and sensitivity, wholly unprecedented. The first station in the new “Long Wavelength Array,” with 256 antennas, is scheduled to start surveying the sky by this summer. When complete, the full Array will consist of 53 stations, with a total of 13,000 antennas strategically placed in the wide open spaces of New Mexico, across an area nearly 400 kilometers (248 miles) in diameter.
+
Scientists do have a sense of humor. You can catch ’em cracking-up each other with wild speculations that they don’t want getting out, because of the ’spalin’ factor if they did. The nature of science is to verify and peer-review everything before telling the rest of us about it. The late Carl Sagan used to say, “The only cardinal truth of science is that there are no cardinal truths.” So, we have risked embarrassing Ms. Vega by engaging in this flight of fancy. Or maybe not. Her announcement, describing the new radio telescope array, was titled, “An Astronomer’s Field of Dreams.” Those last three words, of course, invoke the line from the movie with that name: “If you build it, they will come.”
+
Maybe their radio signals will, anyway. We can’t wait to see if they have banjo and accordion, or if they’re too civilized.
+
You can read the complete NASA / JPL document at www.jpl.nasa.gov/news/news.cfm?release=2011-027&cid=release_2011-027

11) LOCAL INDIE SONGWRITER HAS ORIGINAL IN HALLMARK CHANNEL MOVIE ON SATURDAY
+
“SMOOCH,” airing Saturday, February 5 at 9 pm, on cable TV, has a song by L.A. indie songwriter JANIS VAILE that she wrote and performed. It airs on the Hallmark Channel. The song is “Icicles.” Janis tells us, “You will be able to hear ‘Icicles’ toward the end of the movie. I hope you will watch and enjoy.” And you can buy a download of Janis Vaile’s “Icicles” on iTunes.
