Brazilian Pop Legend Plays Minimalist Greatest Hits Set
Gilberto Gil doesn’t wear socks. He also doesn’t have a backing band. In fact, at his March 25 show at Zellerbach Hall, the intimate nature of both the stage (two guitars, one stool, a glass of water) and Gil’s conversational manner with his captive audience belied his 40-odd years as one of Brazil’s biggest musical legends and (since 2003) its Minister of Culture.

TV on the Radio Toughens Up For Rollicking Fillmore Shows
It seems that a night out in San Francisco can do wonders for a band’s performance. The relentlessly genre-spanning TV on the Radio appeared in fine form Thursday night at the Fillmore, the last installment in their two-night stint in the city. Playing for a sold-out crowd composed of hipsters, middle-aged folks, stoners, and most subcultures in between, the band played a predominantly up-tempo show which seemed to cater precisely to the diverse musical tastes of the city singer Tunde Adebimpe said they had come to appreciate.

CD Reviews
It’s curious that Timbaland chose to call his latest album Shock Value when so much of this effort finds the ever-fashionable producer treading through his comfort zones, churning out repetitive digifunk with appearances from familiar players like Justin Timberlake and Missy Elliott. That’s not a bad thing in theory; Timbaland has always worked best when he has a great muse to marry his minimal grooves to, be it Aaliyah or Missy. But the guest list on Shock Value is overly long, filled with novelty (Elton John, Fall Out Boy and Fiddy all stop by) and none of it comes close to Timbaland’s most memorable material. It’s a step away from the tight-knit community the producer has always fostered, and as a result the album feels bloated, with one forgettable diva or rapper after another filling up most of the songs, while all of his A-listers are underused.
