Thomas Howard Memorial Storm

Alok Jha charts the history of weather forecasting from its origins in the early 19th century.

Xavier Rudd returns with the euphoric new single “Walk Away,” his first new material since 2015. Poignant and uplifting “Walk Away” is one of Xavier's most powerful songs to date – seamlessly weaving philosophy and music. Produced by Chris Bond (Ben Howard, Tom Speight) and mixed by Tim Palmer (Pearl Jam, David Bowie, U2), “Walk Away” is taken from Xavier’s forthcoming new album Storm Boy, which showcases his incomparable songwriting craftsmanship and is an impressive addition to his ever-growing legacy.

March 9, 2004. And the 10th year of the passing from terra of FZ went by in the States without much fanfare, sad enough. But FZ's clearly conceived musical vision will live on, in this case, the new CD from Le Bocal, a modern French big band , "commissioned" by the distributors of Rykodisc in France to record select compositions of FZ. By sheer serendipity, this band was really perfect choice to record "Zappamusics",as they already exhibit 3 features found in all Zappa aggregations, exceptional musicianship, a fine sense of humor,and they have their feet in the worlds of jazz, rock and classical music forms, same time. The real beauty here lies in fact that , this is relative "unique" in the performance, ~ these musicians are not "Zappatistas" in the sense that, say Ed Palermo(1000stars) or Mike Keneally are. (MR Keneally in particular has his guitar style completely drenched in Frank Zappa's concepts in the way many Jazz musicians continue follow in the Wes Montgomery mold, for example).
