PETTY STUDIOS DOCUMENTARY

This just in from the New Mexico Music Commission:

Many of the biggest names in music started their careers in New Mexico. And, for musicians like Buddy Holly, Roy Orbison, Leann Rimes and the Fireballs, it began at the Norman Petty Recording Studios in Clovis.

On Thursday, June 4, the New Mexico Music Commission, You And Me Productions and PBS stations throughout the state are teaming up to tell audiences about the music legends who came out of eastern New Mexico and west Texas. Included will be a tour of the studio where the original equipment is still preserved and where songs like Buddy Holly's “That'll Be the Day” and “Peggy Sue” were recorded.

Audiences will also learn what the Clovis community is currently doing to honor musicians, and see and hear from the talent that is still coming from the area. During the New Mexico premiere, live from the KNME studios, members of the Fireballs will join Music Commission Director Nancy Laflin talking about what it was like for a group of teens from New Mexico to have a number one hit song, “Sugar Shack.”

The documentary will air Thursday, June 4, at 7:00 PM, simulcast on New Mexico's three PBS stations: KENW ( Ch. 3 - Portales) serving Eastern N.M., KNME (Ch. 5 - Albuquerque/Santa Fe) serving northern and central N.M., and KRWG (Ch. 22 - Las Cruces) serving Southern N.M.

PODCAST 10: THE BIG ENCHILADA IS SERVED

As Bob Dylan wisely pointed out, "God gave names to the animals." And in that spirit, I'm giving a name to this animal, i.e. my podcast:

THE BIG ENCHILADA!!

That's a little snazzier than "The Steve Terrell Podcast." Plus, as I mention in this latest installment, I got sick of all the numbers -- "Podcast 9, Terrell's Sound World 3," etc.

So welcome to THE BIG ENCHILADA!!

Number 10 is a hillbilly show, more Santa Fe Opry favorites, with lots of western swing and rockabilly, great tunes by Little Jummy Dickens, Mama Rosin, The Pine Valley Cosmonauts, The Supersuckers, Austin Lounge Lizards. Kris Hollis Key, Eugene Chadbourne, Emily Kaitz & Ray Wylie Hubbard, Bayou Seco, Hazeldine, Smokey Wood & The Wood Chips, Cecil McNabb, Andy Anderson and more. There's even a fine old murder song recorded live by Willie Nelson more than 40 years ago.

These are songs that will make you proud to be an American -- even if you aren't one.

HAVE I TOLD YOU LATELY HOW MUCH I HATE THE MUSIC INDUSTRY?

Here's one that got me pig-bitin' mad this evening.

Sparklehouse and Danger Mouse have colaborated on a new album called Dark Night of the Soul. It's got guest vocals by all sorts of folks including Iggy Pop, Frank Black, Vic Chessnutt and -- I'm not kidding -- David Lynch. Lynch also produced several strange photographs for the project (including the one here I nabbed from the NPR site.)

But, according to NPR, don't expect to see Dark Night of the Soul on record store shelves, or on iTunes or Amazon anytime soon.

An unnamed spokesperson for Danger Mouse says that "due to an ongoing dispute with EMI" the book of photographs will "now come with a blank, recordable CD-R. All copies will be clearly labeled: 'For legal reasons, enclosed CD-R contains no music. Use it as you will.'" While offering no specifics, EMI has acknowledged the legal dispute with Danger Mouse and released a statement saying, "Danger Mouse is a brilliant, talented artist for whom we have enormous respect. We continue to make every effort to resolve this situation and we are talking to Brian Burton (Danger Mouse) directly. Meanwhile, we need to reserve our rights."

I think EMI needs to reserve its last rites.

Like one of the commenters on the NPR site wrote, "Would they rather I download it for free illegally from a bit torrent client...instead of having my money from iTunes..."

Indeed. And record company suits wonder why their stupid industry is in the toilet. There's lots of fans who gladly would pay for this music.

Anyway, you can listen to the entire album -- or any track you want -- streaming on the NPR site.

And if you look hard enough on the web, (I haven't yet) I'm sure you can find illegal downloads of the album.
