Teraphonic Overdubs

To the elite group of musicians who have mastered the art of retro-disco-cop-show-funk-o-lounge-a-phonics (i.e. Skeewiff and Shawn Lee) add Frenchman Chris Joss, who since 1999 has built up an impressive catalog of recordings in that vein. His la...

Ugress-SpiderEyes(Spider-ManTheme)

The Spiderman theme is fine as a jingle, but I've never thought of it as an actual cop-show theme. Until today, that is, when I found Norwegian electro duo Ugress's groovy remake: That's definitive; I doubt you'll ever hear a better version of ...

34-Mission Impossible Theme (Orch) 12-Changing Times

I've been blurring the distinction between cop and spy music because they often contain the same elements, but a good rule of thumb is that, like the TV shows and movies they accompany, cop music contains more action, while spy music contains more...

01-The Money Spyder 01-Theme from Starsky and Hutch

When I talk about James Taylor, some people think I'm talking about some weedy American singer-songwriter from the 1970s. I am not. I am talking about the modern British master of the Hammond B3 organ, the leader of the James Taylor Quartet, the...

I look at all the online music maps, and all the retailer recommendations, but I still didn't learn about Barcelona's The Pinker Tones until I was at my neighbor's house and they were playing on his stereo (that's the boxlike device that sits on a...

Skeewiff - Light the Fuse

I haven't been very impressed with many online retailers' recommendation systems. Amazon, for instance, keeps suggesting to me items that I have already bought from them; it's a safe bet that I'll like it, but it's not a safe bet that I'll buy a ...
