Frank Zappa

It's an exhibition. It's a book. A selection from Abba to Zappa by Dutch photographer Gijsbert Hanekroot is shown at the Museum Volkenkunde in Leiden, The Netherlands:

Photographer Gijsbert Hanekroot selected 39 pop music photos from his collection for this exhibition. From Abba to Zappa, from Neil Young to Talking Heads and from JJ Cale to Keith Richards. An exhibition of powerful black-and-white photos thematically connected with the major exhibition ‘Music in Motion – Journey to the world’s musical  cities’ that is still showing until 23 August.

Findlay Brown: Love Will Find You

Findlay Brown used to hit people for a living before he realised that he was a hopeless romantic who should be making blue-eyed soul records (never mind that his eyes are brown). His previous album Separted By The Sea received tons of praise from The Guardian and Mojo (and Elle, but that doesn't really count).

So, can the former bare-knuckle boxer from Yorkshire, England, live up to the expectations? His new one is called Love Will Find You and it is a collection of doo-wop meets Phil Spector inspired songs that will play comfortably under the end credits of long running hospital series. As Douglas Adams would say: Mostly Harmless.

Tracks:
  1. Love Will Find You
  2. Nobody Cared
  3. All That I Have
  4. Everybody Needs Love
  5. That's Right
  6. Teardrops Lost In The Rain
  7. Holding Back The Night
  8. If I Could Do It Again
  9. I Still Want You
  10. I Had A Dream
Live dates:
  • 02/03 Los Angeles, CA @ Hotel Cafe
  • 02/05 New York, NY @ Pianos
