Building A Song From The Ground Up
It's been said that writing about music is like dancing about architecture. If that is true, then let's look at the recording studio as if it's an architect's drafting table. Pandora music analyst Scott Pinkmountain pulls apart a song brick by brick, and we hear the thought processes that informed his decisions. From the drummer's British-style swing to the method they used to alter the piano's tone with a tissue box, we hear how "You Gave Me This" was constructed, layer by layer. ...

The Blues Scale
Modern American popular music all traces back to the blues in one way or another. Guitarist and Pandora senior music analyst Bob Coons swings by the studio to talk about the blues scale, a six-note (heptonic) sequence of tones that appears in countless tracks. It's a scale that changes the feel of any song in which it appears. We show how the scale is fluid, with bending pitches and blue notes, and Bob plays some blues-inspired passages to show this scale in action.Hop onto this link...

Great Places To See Live Music: Celebrate Brooklyn
There's nothing that brings a community together quite like a free music festival, and there's no festival quite like Celebrate Brooklyn. Every summer, families in New York are treated to free concerts in Brooklyn's Prospect Park. These shows are not run-of-the-mill freebies, either; these are big-ticket artists such as TV On The Radio, Joan Osborne, the Stills, the Sam Roberts Band and Maceo Parker. Our guest, Celebrate Brooklyn director Jack Walsh, explai...

Word Choice In Lyrics
Why do those specific words in the song move you so much? What is it about that turn of phrase or that one vivid image that speaks directly to you? Pandora music curator Michael Zapruder and host Kevin Seal talk about touch, smell, and taste imagery in songs -- there's more out there than just "Savoy Truffle," "Incense and Peppermints," and "Lips Like Sugar." They also get into the idea of timeless language vs. time-specific language, and look at the ways in which new and modern words c...

Great Places To See Live Music: Buddy Guy's Legends
First we were excited because we heard that Buddy Guy's Legends was going to host a show by John Primer, who played guitar with Willie Dixon and Muddy Waters back in the late '70s and early '80s. Little did we know that we would show up with camera in hand, and Buddy Guy himself would jump up on stage and start singing with Primer and his band. My, my, my. Amazing. Check out some real-deal, soulful Chicago blues. ...

Much of the music we love exists in four-beat measures. Why is this? Why is 4/4 so natural? What happens when you don't have four beats in each bar?

They visit the land of the waltz, and look at ways that a smartly-written drum part can make 5/4 and 7/4 feel natural and inconspicuous. (11 mins.) Click the "Continue reading" button below to...
