The two of you who wish you could have more of Any Major Dude With A Too Long Name, there is some respite: I am now part of the collective over at Star Maker Machine that blogs and posts music on a weekly theme. The SMM blog has long been a favourite (I think I found it through the now sadly defunct and much missed Setting The Woods On Fire country music blog). Readers who have sampled my blogroll might also have happened upon Cover Laydown (or came here via Boyhowdy's fine blog). [...]
Selebrities | Soda Shop Brooklyn Maria Usbeck I could go ahead and tell you all about me. Where I'm from, weird corky things like how I can say hello in about 10 languages now and I fold paper boats with anything that comes to hand. Instead I'm going to explain why I play music. I studied classical piano until the age of 12. Started around 7 because when I was 6 I refused to stay in class. Literally [...]
Forget your Abbacadabras, your He-Bee Gee-Bees, your Bootleg Beatles even, the real tribute to any act is surely the tribute single - a pastiche-like dedication of another's love for their favourite artist. Elvis Herselvis One of the first must certainly be Janis Martin 's 1956 hit single ' My Boy Elvis '. Janis was only 15 when she recorded this slice of schlockabilly rockabilly - " He's off like a rocket and there he goes, he rocks from his [...]

The Drums teamed up with Altered Images singer Claire Grogan last night during their headline show at London venue Heaven for a one off duet. The band, celebrating the release of their debut album on Monday, were playing to a sold-out crowd when they introduced Grogan to the stage. She then provided the female vocals on the bands 'Summertime!' EP track, 'Don't be a Jerk, Johnny.' Grogan appeared in good spirits, dancing with the bands guitarists Jacob Graham and Adam Kessler before linking with singer Jonathan Pierce to sing [...]

I Could Be Happy - Altered Images
Hip hip hooray! Today it's exactly one year since Tracasseur's first post saw the sun, it was about the Belgian duo Aeroplane. Other acts that was up on Tracasseur in the beginning was The Golden Filter and Fear of Tigers. So already from the beginning there was some good quality of music passing through Tracasseur and further on to you guys. We have been writing of all kinds of music this year, everything from obscure italo via nu disco to the housiest house. During the year that has passed we have also developed the blog. In [...]
Altered Images - See Those Eyes (1982)
I still feel the same way about my birthday as I did last year - probably even more so. A general sense of malaise bordering on abject disappointment and mild despair. I really am that maudlin. Or it's just compounded with my regular mood trough. Another year, another jumbled assortment of unfulfilled goals. In the great words of Howard Moon, "You should celebrate that day alone...in sombre isolation." There's no doubt that if I had a birthday party, which I haven't since I was a child, it would end up like Howard Moon's; I'd be dancing away in [...]
This post is a couple of weeks late, but considering I was very ill last week, I think you'll forgive me. Whatever coldette I had a few weeks ago was nothing compared to this all-out attack on my immune system. It just stopped short of the lung searing bronchitis of a couple years ago. Nonetheless, I only allowed myself to miss roughly one day of work (the illness guilt my mother instilled in me as a child is still there). I'm really starting to believe I have an immunodeficiency disorder what with my chronic allergies and seemingly high risk of [...]
And don't go thinking that the great Scottish singles soon to appear here every Friday will have all been flops or by bands/singers you might not have heard of. There will be loads of big hits such as this #7 smash from 1983:- mp3 : Altered Images - Don't Talk To Me About Love mp3 : Altered Images - Last Goodbye Not long after I started TVV (which is almost exactly three years ago) it was still possible to rummage around ebay and pick up bargains in vinyl records [...]
