Romain Collin: "Storm" / "The Calling" Live at Rockwood, NYC (video)
... number (the album's title-track) where Collin works an elegantly serpentine melody, circling around the nuanced underpinnings of Luques Curtis' double bass and the crisp drumming of Kendrick Scott, executed with economy and restraint. The scales explore a haunted, intuitive search and the resonance and tension of the piece expands more and more as the number slowly builds toward the nine-minute mark. In no way is this pop music, but Collin has found a way to make his brand of jazz just as immediate - and instantly gratifying.

Video: Xosar "The Calling"
... Xosar's tunes have been gaining a steady amount of attention over the past year, with her playful, warmly textured-but-coldly executed productions being both haunting and hard-hitting in equal measure. With this oddball clip for "The Calling," it appears the budding producer's playful spirit goes beyond just her musical creations, as the Amsterdam-via-California transplant and Legowelt collaborator displays a love for B movies and public-access TV in this new video for her for recent Rush Hour single. Xosar herself takes the lead as the clip's budding UFO enthusiast, and things gets progressively weirder from there--oversaturated lighting, logical fallacies, 8-bit montages, and Legowelt appearing as a close-encounter salesman are just a few of the highlights that await.

Wonder how The Calling got their name? Lead Singer Alex Band has said that he was having a conversation with lead guitarist Aaron Kamin about music in general while trying to find band names. Aaron has said it was their "calling" to make music.
The Calling were signed in 1998 by RCA and were featured playing their hit song "Wherever You Will Go" in the 2000 movie Coyote Ugly. (thanks, Britney - Calabasas, CA, for above 2)
Mohler and Wood left the group in 2003 after suing Kamin and Band over royalties from the album Camino Palmero.
The band made an appearance in the movie Coyote Ugly. They are one of the bands playing at a club before Piper Perabo's character Violet is discovered. (thanks, Tanya - Wasilla, AK)

This song is a message from heaven. When rap took hold, this music lover became a music hater. However,Wherever You Will Go turned me back onto music. I say it's a message from heaven because, although I was unaware of it at the time, the love of my life had just passed away at about the same time this song hit the airwaves. I knew he had been trying to reach me for years, but I never responded. Unfortunately. I found out too late. But I know that this song was a way for him to tell me what was on his mind.
