While they could all agree that Lindsey Buckingham's opening salvo on Rumours is a pretty rad song, don't ask the sisters - Este, 27, Danielle, 24, and Alana, 22 - for a favourite Beyonce track.

[Excerpt from Seven Questions to Nora O'Connor, Chicago Magazine]

By By Erin Osmon 2/10/2014

http://www.chicagomag.com/arts-cultu...-Nora-OConnor/

What do you have planned for the rest of the month?

This week, I’ve put a band together and we’re going to perform the Buckingham Nicks record, which is one of my favorite records and a big undertaking because Lindsey Buckingham’s guitar playing is so insane. The week after that I’m going to have my band The Flat Five [a vocal-centric covers quintet that includes celebrated alt-country siren Kelly Hogan, Scott Ligon and Casey McDonough of the new NRBQ, and drummer Alex Hall who’s toured with Chuck Berry and Wanda Jackson] who usually play once or twice a year. The last week is a band called Precious Blood, which is myself and Danny Black, who I played with in The Blacks about 15 years ago, and his brother Kevin McDonough. That’s just a really super sexy blues kind of thing.

From the Superverbose blog by Paul O'Brien, 2/16/2014 He put together an annual Music Mix and this one included LB.

http://superverbose.wordpress.com/20...e-of-paradise/



8. Lindsey Buckingham – This Nearly Was Mine (instrumental)

I get impatient with a lot of Lindsey’s solo work lately, all breathy vocals and superfast virtuoso picking. It’s fine, but it gets pretty samey, especially compared with the record I see as his masterpiece, 1992′s Out Of The Cradle. That collection had some of his picking and sing-talking, but it also had fantastic pop songs like “Countdown” and “Don’t Look Down”, lovely ballads like “Surrender The Rain” and “All My Sorrows”, and beautiful instrumental passages like this one. I got the mp3 album from Amazon, burned it to CD last year, and spent some time reacquainting myself with it. “This Nearly Was Mine” is actually a Rodgers & Hammerstein tune, from South Pacific — it was a favorite of Lindsey’s dad, so it got included here as a kind of tribute. Lindsey’s treatment of it is uncharacteristically gentle — even his softest songs tend to have an aggressive edge to them, but not here. (Though the only link I can find is to a live version where he can’t help himself from slipping into virtuoso mode at one point.) He brings out the poignancy of the melody so much that I had to look up the lyrics, and having done so I decided to quote them for the title of this collection, promises of paradise kept, broken, and found at last.

[From a review of The Americans. Does Rhys look like LB?]

http://www.dvdtalk.com/reviews/63517...eason-one-the/

That the show nails the emotional aspect of its stories should not suggest that The Americans skimps on genre thrills. The pilot episode immediately kicks off with a dose of sex and violence, as Elizabeth (in the first of many wigs we will see our spies sporting) seduces and then appears to go down on a potential source. Moments later, Philip is chasing a target down dark alleyways, culminating in a vicious hand-to-hand fight, scored to Fleetwood Mac's "Tusk" (an oddly appropriate choice, since Rhys frequently seems to have been styled to play up his resemblance to early-'80s Lindsay Buckingham). Soon, Philip and Elizabeth are storing a defector in the trunk of their car, in their sedate suburban garage, while their kids Paige (Holly Taylor) and Henry (Keidrich Sellati) obliviously eat corn flakes a few hundred feet away.

10. The War on Drugs: I arrived at this band via Kurt Vile. I'm sure many did. I particularly loved 2011's Slave Ambient. It took me a while to get my head around it. And I like that. As I finish writing this post up for today I'm listening again to the band's new one, Lost In The Dream. I'll have a review for you next week. It's both a continuation of the group's sound - hints of that languid, loping, liquid guitar sound, as on Slave Ambient, as Vile is still pursing in his own way too - and a strange, wonderful re-imagination of aspects of the 1980s. I'm certain this will not sell it for you, but several of the songs on the new album feel like they could be album tracks from Lindsey Buckingham's early solo records or the Fleetwood Mac of the 1980s. More than one song has the feel of Don Henley's Boys of Summer. I shouldn't like that. But I do. I really do. Have a listen to An Ocean In Between The Waves. Amazing. I'm hooked! It's taken me back to a band I already loved but at the same time it feels like something altogether different, a totally new sound with just hints and traces of the band's early ideas and Vile's too.

So I'm a big fan of the Walking Dead and I noticed a couple tweets from a couple of actors on the show about their love for Lindsey Buckingham. Melissa McBride, who plays Carol on the show, tweeted to a fan about her shameless crush on (Lindsey) Buckingham.

Throughout its nearly 40 years on the air, ‘Saturday Night Live’ has not only offered some of TV’s funniest moments, it’s also boasted countless amazing musical performances. With a long list that includes everyone from the Grateful Dead to the Beastie Boys, many legendary artists have rocked those floorboards. We’re paring down that long list of favorites to performances from the ’80s. Unfortunately, clips of great performances by the likes of the Replacements, the Clash, Lindsey Buckingham and Captain Beefheart weren’t available. But if you can track those down, they’re all worth checking out. Trust us.

As a result, we've enjoyed trips to Atlanta to see the likes of Todd Rundgren performing with Hall and Oates. There was the memorable Steely Dan concert, as well as a nearly 70-year-old Paul Simon looking and sounding as good as when he was originally lookin' for fun and feelin' groovy. And what a great show in Spartanburg when we saw Lindsey Buckingham in a phenomenal solo show with what seemed like no fewer than 20 guitars.
Maybe we'll get that chance again. We hope so. If nothing else, perhaps they'll return for the Grape Stomp in November.

Lindsey Buckingham – Big Love (live)

Posted on March 30, 2014 by Vanessa


Live version released on The Dance in 1997. Originally released on Tango in the Night in 1987.

One of my all-time biggest pet peeves is when someone gets credit for something that they didn’t do – which is why I refuse to call Big Love a Fleetwood Mac song. I just can’t do it. I don’t know how much creative control Lindsey Buckingham had over the version of this song that appears on Tango in the Night, but I can’t imagine he would take a song that is so incredible on guitar, and clutter it up with synthesizers.

The live version is, in my opinion, the way Buckingham always intended the song to be – stripped down to it’s purest form, devoid of any unnecessary clutter.

[SHN included in 9 excellent songs with wordless hooks]

Music Times, April 1, 2014

http://www.musictimes.com/articles/5...s-and-more.htm

1. Simon & Garfunkel - "The Boxer" (1970)


If you've written a song with as many words as "The Boxer", you've earned the right to throw a couple of "lie la lie's" in there. Although the melody in the verses is beautifully written, it is very dense, so these poppy choruses are quite welcome.


2. Fleetwood Mac - "Second Hand News" (1977)


The people who prefer Fleetwood Mac's rock era to its pop era are either rockist elitists or in denial, because all Lindsey Buckingham needed for a catchy chorus was the word "bow" and a three-note melody.

3. Misfits - "Some Kinda Hate" (1978)


As great a songwriter as Glenn Danzig is, he's not really one for lyricism. The chorus to this early Misfits classic is simply "woooooah" with a few throwaway phrases in between ("and it's a woah... I said woah...baby it's a woah...").

4. The Smiths - "The Headmaster Ritual" (1985)


For some reason Morrissey loves yodeling, even though he's not that great at it, but he uses the technique to great effect in the chorus to the opening track from Meat is Murder.

5. Pavement - "Cut Your Hair" (1994)


The chorus to Pavement's only hit song consisted of guitarist Scott Kannberg (aka Spiral Stairs) singing a quirky falsetto melody that was clearly out of his range. Maybe if he did that more often, they would have had more hits.

6. The Promise Ring - "Why Did We Ever Meet?" (1997)


The Promise Ring is no stranger to making no damn sense whatsoever (what exactly does "Delaware are you aware of air supply" mean?), so whenever they choose to break out the "ba-bas" and "doo-doos", it's pretty much the only thing that does make sense.




7. Joanna Newsom - "Peach, Plum, Pear" (2004)


Joanna Newsom is famous for writing songs that are 12 minutes long because they have so many verses, but the poppiest moment in any song she's ever written is the wordless chorus to this track off her debut album. It might have ended up being a hit if she hadn't played it on a harpsichord, but probably not.

8. Devendra Banhart - "Santa Maria da Feira" (2005)


Being of Venezuelan descent, Devendra Banhart occasionally likes to sing in Spanish, but even though he has two languages to choose from when writing lyrics, he still chose "la-di-da" for the chorus to this South American-style folk song.

9. Kanye West - "Black Skinhead" (2013)


"Black Skinhead" proved to be one of Kanye's most lyrically provocative songs in years (just look at that title) but the part of the song that gets stuck in everyone's head is that heavily distorted opening hook.

Village Voice by Luke Winkie, April 3, 2014

http://blogs.villagevoice.com/music/...nos.php?page=2

Strengths and weak points are practically interchangeable when we're talking about music -- nobody measures a band's vertical. You won't ever be faulted for simply talking about how a song makes you feel. It's always important to remember that somebody hates Fleetwood Mac for the exact same reasons you love them. Go to a metal show and tell someone you find Lindsey Buckingham's nylon-string guitar to be a "tremendous strength," see what happens.

here is LB-mentioning excerpt (wonder if it was Turner?):

Q. What did you want “Storyline” to capture that wasn’t as obvious on the first record?

A. I think I was looking for “Storyline” to get a bit more personal, more heart and soul. I wanted to go back in time to give it more depth. I wanted it to feel like it could have been an older record. One of the rules was no electronic drum sounds. Everything you hear is created from actual instruments. There’s a lot of tributes to the bluegrass I like — the mandolin, the three-part harmonies — and there’s a lot of guitar player references too. While making this record I really studied Lindsey Buckingham. In fact, during the process, I ordered a new guitar because it’s the one he plays.

20. Fleetwood Mac's Lindsey Buckingham and Huey Lewis & The News were first approached to pen the theme, but both declined the offer. Ray Parker Jr eventually scored a US number-one hit with 'Ghostbusters', however Lewis ended up suing for plagiarism due to the similarities with his earlier song 'I Want a New Drug'. The case was eventually settled out of court.

From The Grateful Web: Dream Academy Collection

Real Gone Music July 29, 2014 Release: Dream Academy Collection

Submitted by JP Cutler Media Fri, 06/20/2014 - 1:13pm

http://www.gratefulweb.com/articles/....MkdLHiO4.dpuf

With their varied instrumentation, intimate song stylings, and poetic, allusive lyrics, The Dream Academy always stood apart from their '80s British rock brethren; that they dedicated their hit song, "Life in a Northern Town," to Nick Drake and minimalist composer Steve Reich spoke volumes as to the reach of their intellectual and artistic ambition. Indeed, though they were together for only three albums and a handful of singles, Nick Laird-Clowes, Kate St. John and Gilbert Gabriel left behind a body of work as captivating as that of any of their contemporaries, their solid songwriting, unusual arrangements and innovative production touches (thanks in part to co-producer David Gilmour of Pink Floyd) only sounding better with age. Now, Real Gone Music and Nick Laird-Clowes have joined forces to release the definitive Dream Academy collection, a 2-CD, 24-track set entitled The Morning Lasted All Day -- A Retrospective. Due out July 29, the release not only features such hits as "Life in a Northern Town" and "The Love Parade" and key album tracks, but also is chock-full of unreleased tracks, rare nuggets and even a new track, "Sunrising."

"I wanted this to be a definitive 'best of' that would also include a few key unreleased rarities for the people who really know our work," says Laird-Clowes. "I'm thrilled that I found some tracks that I think sit easily beside our best work so that any listener could enjoy the collection as a seamless whole." Indeed, The Morning Lasted All Day features such gems as the unreleased songs "Living in a War" (with David Gilmour on guitar), "The Chosen Few" (with Gilmour playing electric and slide guitar) and "The Last Day of the War" (a lost track recorded right after "Life in a Northern Town"); the unreleased and much requested instrumental of "Power to Believe" from the John Hughes-directed film Trains, Planes & Automobiles, co-produced by Hugh Padgham; the rare B-side "Girl in a Million," and the long-lost 12-inch side "The Demonstration."

What's more, careful listeners will also hear musical contributions from The Smiths' Johnny Marr, Fleetwood Mac's Lindsey Buckingham, Polystyrene of X-Ray Spex and Eagles songwriter J.D. Souther, all of whose contributions are meticulously noted in Laird-Clowes' liner notes, which offer a look inside the artistic inspiration and recording process for each song as well as the stories behind the band's origins and three albums. Remastered and sequenced by Laird-Clowes, and sporting photos taken from the band's personal archive as well as from a lost session by the legendary Arthur Elgort, The Morning Lasted All Day just may be the best double-album released this year, new or old. - See more at: http://www.gratefulweb.com/articles/....MkdLHiO4.dpuf

Huffington Post, Posted: 06/02/2014 7:55 am EDT by Wendi Aarons and Nancy Davis Kho

Fleetwood Mac: Why is this the most expensive concert of the entire summer? Baby, I don't wanna know-oh. But we're guessing there's some kind of hazard pay involved to lure five musicians with a history of infighting back to the same stage. Will there be any songs that WON'T lead to sing-alongs and interpretive Stevie-ish dancing by audience members? Oh, God, no. This audience will even lose their s*** over "Tusk." Therefore, dress yourself in your gypsy-thrift-shop finest for maximum twirling.

Didn't he put that album together mostly by himself? Yeah, Dave Fridmann mixed it, I believe. It definitely has that work of a crazy loner genius. There are lots of modern bands that I think are awesome, like MGMT. But most of our influences are pretty old. Most of the time we’re looking to classic rock. I’m actually shocked: when I look back at our entire career and I try and think of the most major influences on us, I really think they are ELO, Wings, and Lindsey Buckingham.

“Champions of Red Wine,” made me feel like I was listening to an updated version of [Fleetwood Mac's] Mirage. Oh, really? That’s good. That’s a huge compliment.

Stereoboard, September 26, 2014

http://www.stereoboard.com/content/view/187471/9


What struck me about ‘The Dirty Truth’ is how the songwriting is the star and all your guitar playing serves the songs.

It's certainly been a conscious effort on my part to improve the songwriting and I think that comes from Dave Stewart. When I was signed to him I'd been singing a little bit but mostly just playing a lot of solos. He said to me: ‘You can play the best guitar solo in the world, but if it's not in a good song no one's ever going to hear it.’

He got me listening to guys like Lindsey Buckingham from Fleetwood Mac - amazing guitar on Big Love and his solo live on Oh Well is probably one of the best versions I've ever heard. But they are encased in fantastic songs and they only add to the songs. I love a big guitar solo but sometimes you just don't need it, particularly for an album which is kind of like a snapshot.

'80s Halloween costume idea: Go as Lindsey Buckingham's hair
Kevin Wuench Friday, October 3, 2014 8:45am

With his work with Fleetwood Mac and his solo material, Buckingham built an impressive ‘80s resume, but not all of his singles were smashes as Slow Dancing only reached No. 106 on the charts in 1984. The video features Buckingham dancing with his ghost girl and staying in time despite his Eraserhead hair.

Free has a really southern rock, almost country vibe too.

With that one we were listening to Fleetwood Mac's World Turning and Lindsey Buckingham's riff. I was like: “Man, that's wicked.” So we were sitting in our rehearsal room and I had the 12 string out and was trying to play this World Turning riff. I think I must have done something different and Jack said “play that again”, picked up his bass and started chugging it out, and that's how Freedom came about. It's got a bit of a Skynyrd feel to it.

So it goes without saying that I have a few suggestions for band choices for Spring Fling this year. These picks are staying within the realm of possibility. For the sake of venting though, anything involving Dave Grohl is more than welcome or even better, a supergroup lead by Freddie Mercury with Clapton and Lindsey Buckingham on guitar and John Bonham on drums (that last one might end up being a little overshadowed with the with news that someone at PSU figured out how to break the mortal coil, though).

^Thanks. That's a nice photo. That Lindsey, we will never be able to date a photo from the way he looks, because he always looks the same so often.

[Excerpt From an article on The Ting Tings]

The Ting Tings interview: "We've gone disco, but not forever"

Katie: “We’re going to hunt down [Fleetwood Mac's] Lindsey Buckingham and force him to work with us! It won’t be an out-and-out country record, but a Ting Tings take on that sound. If we can make five or six albums this way I think we’ll be very happy. We've gone a dancey for this record, but it's natural for us to explore new sounds.”

Ting Tings? Country-like? Lindsey? That's an... interesting... mix. Hmm.

The New Trailer for Mad Max: Fury Road Is Like Burning Man Gone Wrong
By Nate Jones

As Lindsey Buckingham never said, "It's a long way down Fury Road." The new Mad Max reboot has been described as "practically a feature-length chase scene," and that's certainly the case for the film's newest trailer, which is basically 100 percent crazy guys driving crazy convoys around a crazy desert. Tom Hardy and Charlize Theron are the main actors, but we can all agree that the real star is whoever was in charge of making all those cars explode.

...and his solo live on Oh Well is probably one of the best versions I've ever heard.
