NEW MUSIC MINUTE -- PADDY CASEY
Irish musician Paddy Casey knew he wanted to break fresh ground on his latest work. He was thinking Sly and the Family Stone meet Simon Garfunkel. He came up with the blueprint for songs that would have blues licks, funky guitars and Stax-style trumpets. Songs that would sit easily aside the more poignant songs full of personal meaning he already had. He thought of what he had, thought of Los Angeles and the idea was born. "I love the title Addicted To Company says Paddy - for me it just sums up the human condition - in that it's a realization that sometimes maybe it's enough to just be with the people you're with".
NEW MUSIC MINUTE --ONCE
(Excerpted from NY Times). Filmed with more efficiency than elegance on the streets of Dublin, Mr. Carney's movie, a favorite at Sundance earlier this year, does not look, sound or feel like a typical musical. It is realistic rather than fanciful, and the characters work patiently on the songs rather than bursting spontaneously into them. But its low-key affect and decidedly human scale endow "Once" with an easy, lovable charm that a flashier production could never have achieved. The formula is simple: two people, a few instruments, 88 minutes and not a single false note. New Music Minute presents an excerpt from ONCE.
