Jon Brion – Knock Yourself Out

Today’s Top Tune is a song most will know from David O. Russell’s “existential comedy” I ♥ Huckabees. Huckabees was, of course, scored by Jon Brion – and he contributed this song to soundtrack of the film, which featured a incredible ensemble cast including Dustin Hoffman, Lily Tomlin, Jude Law, Naomi Watts and Mark Walhberg.

In addition to I ♥ Huckabees, Jon’s film scoring credits include Hard Eight, Magnolia, Punch-Drunk Love, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, The Break-Up, Synecdoche, New York, Step Brothers, Glago’s Guest, The Other Guys, The Future, and two films scheduled for release this year: the 3D stop-motion animated comedy thriller adventure ParaNorman, and Judd Apatow’s Knocked Up “sequel” This Is Forty.

On the “pop” side of his career, Jon has worked as a writer and/or producer for the diverse likes of Fiona Apple, Kanye West, Aimee Mann, Katy Perry, Rufus Wainwright, Elliott Smith, Spoon, Best Coast, Of Montreal, Dido, and Keane, to name but a few. His semi-regular gigs at his LA home Largo at the Coronet remain consistent sellouts – his next performance is set for March 30. If you live in or are visiting the LA area, come down and see why these shows have become the stuff of legend.

Jon Brion – I Believe She’s Lying

We are thrilled to start the new year by announcing that Jon Brion has joined Notable Music for exclusive publishing administrative agreement in the US. We are so proud to have him join our musical family of great songwriters.

As a producer and/or co-writer, Jon has worked with everyone from Kanye West to Fiona Apple, Spoon to Elliott Smith, Rufus Wainwright to Best Coast, to name but a few. Brion’s numerous film scores – from his Grammy nominated work on such modern classics as Magnolia and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, to current projects such as the forthcoming ParaNorman – have only grown his recognition as one of the most respected contemporary composers.

His semi-regular shows at LA’s famed Largo at the Coronet have literally become the stuff of legend – as the Largo site itself says “you never know who might drop down the chimney for some unannounced fun.” The too-numerous-to-list parade of Jon’s special guests over the years is a virtual who’s who of musicians and singers, from Neil Finn to Nels Cline, Sam Phillips to Brad Mehldau, Robyn Hitchcock to Aimee Mann… you get the idea.

Jon’s lone solo release, Meaningless, remains a critical favorite, and is regularly cited as an influential record for many artists and songwriters. It is from that album that we present “I Believe She’s Lying” – a classic slice of intricate pop from the brain Jon Brion. The tune has already been covered by a varied group, including Rhett Miller of the Old 97′s, genre-bending R&B wunderkind Spree Wilson, and a cappella group Reverse Osmosis.

Check out this clip of Jon performing “I Believe She’s Lying,” live at Largo.

DJ Bonebrake & The Bonebrake Syncopators – Why Try To Change Me Now

Best known as the drummer and a founding member of legendary LA punk band X, DJ Bonebrake’s musical roots run deeper than many may know. Following his groundbreaking work with such iconic punk bands as the Eyes and, most notably, X (the later of which he is still a member), DJ began to further explore his love of jazz, both classic and of the Latin variety.

With his Bonebrake Syncopators, DJ has found an outlet for his passion of jazz from the early eras, and the combo has aided in his growing rep as one of the finest vibraphonists this side of the Mississippi. Joining DJ (who’s playing the vibes) in the Syncopators are Jonathan Stout on guitar, Dave Stuckey on drums, Wally Hersom on upright bass, and Jeremy Wakefield doing double duty on this track on lap steel guitar and vocals.

Cy Coleman and his first collaborative partner, Joseph A. McCarthy, wrote several classics during their time together, but “Why Try To Change Me Now” is arguably the duo’s most beloved composition. Recorded by such crooners as Frank Sinatra and Nancy Wilson, soul legend Brook Benton, Jazz great Elvin Jones, and most recently Fiona Apple, “Why Try To Change Me Now” is an immortal standard – a truly timeless accompaniment to a broken heart or a hearty glass of whisky. Or, most likely, both.

We are proud to present to you – for the first time anywhere – the Syncopators’ take on “Why Try To Change Me Now”…
