Dead Heart Bloom: Someday Will Not Come Again
Foster The People: Pumped Up Kicks (instrumental)
Last summer's "feel good hit of the summer" stripped down....that vinyl only instrumental of Foster The People's "Pumped Up Kicks" echos last year's expectations, and to begin, Dead Heart Bloom, with a song about managing expectations.
Jack White--busiest man in music without a band ...but he's a one man band....and the vinyl experience's most active advocate. Jack Went solo within the past year, but kept his musical direction on course...
Jack White: Love Interruption
Joe Walsh: Analog Man
Playing that new one by Joe Walsh for the analog man, Jack White. The Vinyl Experience with vinyl goods from the past year. Country rockers Lucero came back stronger than ever. Here's "Sometimes," on the Vinyl Experience.

Robbie Robertson: He Don't Live Here No More
Rome feat. Norah Jones: Black
Danger Mouse is an overachiever for the very best kind busy producing all sorts of music, along with his own projects like Broken Bells with James Mercer, and Rome, featuring Norah JOnes on "Black". Speaking of Mercer, The Shins latest offering features this song, serving as a reminder that summer will slip away faster than we can catch it. Here's "September."

Today
on the Vinyl Experience, 2 musicians who carried the record industry to
unimaginable heights. No matter what side of the rock-disco debate you
may have been on in the 1970s, there's no denying that The Bee Gees and
Donna Summer made an indelible mark. So let's put together some of their
songs, and some reflections of their music. I'm Paul Cavalconte and
this is the Vinyl Experience.
Bee Gees: First Of May
Faith No More: I Started A Joke
The
Vinyl Experience with Killing Joke's version of the pre-disco BGs hit
"I Started A Joke," and The BGs at the start with "First Of May." Robin
Gibb was the lead singer back then, and the songs had a
folky-psychedelic Beatles feel. These early songs lent themselves to
interpretation by divas...and here are 3 great female voices with 3
early BGs hits....
Janis Joplin: To Love Somebody
Sarah Vaughn: Run To Me
Astrud Gilberto: Holiday
The
Vinyl Experience, remembering Robin Gibb with 3 great diva takes on
early BGs songs. Bossa nova queen Astrud Gilberto did the BGs late 60s
smash "Holiday" on her album "September 17, 1969." Jazz master Sarah
Vaughn tenderly rendered "Run To Me," which was also a hit for Dionne
Warwick. And Janis Joplin belted out "To Love Somebody" on "Ive Got Dem
Ol Kosmic Blues Again." Another chart-topping hjit that Robin sang lead
on was "How Can You Mend A Broken Heart" in 1971. That same year, on
the album that made him a star, "Let's Stay Together," Al Green does a
soulful reading...
Al Green: How Can You Mend A Broken Heart
The
Vinyl Experience with The BGs first era. We'll pick it up shortly with
unique renditions of their late 70s hits but first, the game changer the
voice that launched the Disco revolution. Donna Summer ....
Donna Summer: Hot Stuff/Heaven Knows
(Clip)
So much industrial and alternative rock couldn't have been without
Donna Summer and producer Giorgio Moroder's records....not to mention
the new top 40 era that Michael Jackson and Madonna carrien don into the
80s....
Disco and punk co-incided, but they didn't necessarily
clash. Blondie performed this cover of Donna Summer's seminal trance
classic "I Feel Love" at their own height in 1979....
Blondie: I Feel Love
Red Hot Chili Peppers: I Feel Love
Tom Tom Club: Love To Love You Baby
Donna
ruled at Studio 54, while Talking Heads sweated it out on the Bowery at
CBGBS, Dona Summer's alternative influence with Tom Tom Club's :"Love
To Love You Baby," Flea feeling the deep bass of "I Feel Love" with
RHCP, and Blondie's take opt he same song, from a live B side....
Once
Donna Summer kicked off the endless night that was disco, the BGs were
ready for re-invention, the BGs Saturday Night Fever Era through the
ears of some impressionable fans.... Happy Mondays...
Happy Mondays: Stayin' Alive
The Bird And The Bee: How Deep Is Your Love
A
tender song that The Bird And The Bee do justice, "How Deep Is Your
Love," as The Vinyl Experience salutes Robin Gibb one of the BGs biggest
hits was a cover...Yvonne Eliman take "If I Can't Have You" to #1, and
Eve's Plumb took it to a grunge place
Eve's Plum: If I Can't Have You
Bee Gees: Nights On Broadway
