Meditations on Revolver by Alexandra Stieber
Some of my earliest memories stem from listening to the Beatles with my father. Sitting together on Saturday mornings, over warm bagels and coffee, (apple juice for me), my dad would put a Beatles’ vinyl on the record player, and we would sit together and listen. Interspersed throughout the course of the album, my dad would tell me stories about the various songs, or anecdotes about the Beatles...

I Wanna Know What's In It by Benjamin Williams
Sometimes, one hears musicians and listeners alike talking in pretty specific terms about something that, ultimately, is simply judged by the way it sounds.
Marvin Gaye’s What’s Going On (WGO) is musically complex in not only specific terms but in subtle nuances as well. It is a record that would be impossible to replicate; one can play all the notes but still not achieve the same...

When You Hear the Sounds of London Calling...
By Jarrett Stieber, contributing writer and guest musician for the ATL Collective
“We’ve been to 52 countries playing and here’s the thing: most countries listen to shit music. We’re here to relieve them of that,” Joe Strummer slurs backstage at the Palladium in New York City. That September concert in 1979 produced not only a pithy quote but also one of the most iconic photographs in rock...

Brian Wilson and the World Within
If you can possibly listen past the veneer of immaculate, lush, and imposing compositions within The Beach Boys masterpiece Pet Sounds, it feels nearly confessional. With the help of jingle writer Tony Asher, who ended up writing most of the lyrics for Pet Sounds, Brian Wilson co-wrote a largely sentimental rock record that tackles issues like love, isolation, and moments of hazy angst. The...
Wednesday Show Time Change: One Show @ 8PM.

Hello old collective friends. Writing you from California, where they don’t know how to make a biscuit or put sugar in their tea, and they don’t have a Collective. At least not yet. I’m going to miss you guys fiercely this installment, as you cross the Atlantic again for Lola vs. the Powerman & the Money-Go-Round by the Kinks, a record that came out when I was only six years away from entering...

Bridge Over Troubled Water in an hour: Gonzo...
9:38 pm- I check Wikipedia and find the essential information. This is Simon and Garfunkel’s 5th and final studio album together. It won a Grammy for album of the year and reached number one on the Billboard charts. 9:41 pm- Bridge Over Troubled Water The piano entry sounds like an old church hymn. I’m listening on YouTube, because I only have the live version in my iTunes...

Bob Dylan has released 34 studio albums of original material, starting with his self titled album in 1962 (which was mostly blues covers), and ending with Christmas In the Heart in 2009. During this almost-50-year span, there have been several standouts- Modern Times in 2006, Blood on The Tracks in 1975 and The Freewheelin’ Bob Dylan in 1963. But three of his albums shifted the very...

“I was just doing songs for the next rock album, and I decided that what always took me so long in the studio was the writing. I would get in there, and I just wouldn’t have the material written, or it wasn’t written well enough, and so I’d record for a month, get a couple of things, go home write some more, record for another month — it wasn’t very efficient. So this...

Special on Van Morrison's "Tupelo Honey" by Kate...
On the cover of 1971’s Tupelo Honey is a dreamy photo of Van Morrison’s then-wife Janet Planet riding horseback, and he’s walking alongside her. They were young and in love. It’s hard to believe Van Morrison was 26 once. He wrote most of the record’s songs in Woodstock, and left because the place was getting too popular. His music seemed to follow the same trend though, increasing in popularity,...

Our next event is on December 2 and will feature Van Morrison’s “Tupelo Honey.” And to accompany the sweetness of the melodies, we’ll be serving our lovely ticket buyers a biscuit with some tasty honey.
We hope you can join us at Sister Louisa’s Church, (formerly Danneman’s). We’ll have roughly 65 tickets to sell at the door, which is the cut off....
