Rubicks Genre: Alternative / New Wave / Electronica From: London, United Kingdom London electro band Rubicks seem to have been the next big thing for the last six years and, despite critical acclaim for their debut album 'In Miniature' they've, somewhat surprisingly, not yet hit the big time while young, and less talented, upstarts like The Ting Tings have had the cash registers ringing.

Hello cover lovers! It’s an exciting day here at Cover Me , for we are debuting a new series. For over a year now I’ve been bringing you covers from all over the interwebs, passing along the best and the strange, the gorgeous and the goofy. However, I’ve been thinking, why be content as a middleman? Why not offer some original content? Since I have no musical talent myself (you know, the old critic as failed musician thing), it’s time to start recruiting people with actual talent. So let me present… Cover Commissions, [...]

It's that time of the year again, ladies and gents, Valentine's Day, where we celebrate the great unknown that is otherwise called love. Yes, we humans yearn for the mysterious irrational magic that causes us feel that we're not alone in this great big scary world. Many times we reach and fall painfully short, but that doesn't stop us from trying again and again. Love is powerful stuff, it's launched a thousand ships and hundreds of thousands of songs; here's but a few of them to help commemorate the holiday - Happy Valentine's Day, peeps! And don't forget to tell [...]
What's most striking to me about Rodney Crowell is how much of a mover and shaker he was in the country music scene during the mid-to-late 1970s right on through the 1980s.

Following last week’s Almost Famous kudos heaped upon the happy head of the beguiling, Swedish-born, New Orleans based chanteuse Theresa Andersson, we’re skipping back over the pond for Almost Famous UK in which we offer tea and McVities Hob Nobs to those British artists and bands who we believe deserve to be as buzzed about in the States as they are in Blighty. And we firmly believe that these folks are on the verge of taking over the global, cultural zeitgeist at large in the coming months. The year is barely a month old, but one of the [...]
Tommie Sunshine is one of those artists that fit into a multitude of categories; producer, DJ, remixer, songwriter. Yet despite his long list of talents he is best known for and most talented at creating dance remixes of popular songs. The amount of remixes he has done flows onto pages and pages, so here is but a sliver of his work. I certainly suggest listening to as many as you can. website | myspace Fall Out Boy - Dance Dance So [...]
Former manager and label executive Gary Kurfirst has died while holidaying in the Bahamas. Kurfirst started out promoting gigs in Manhattan, and in 1969 created the New York Rock Festival, inadvertently providing one of the inspirations for Woodstock. He also ran his own record labels and publishing businesses, but it as a manager that he really secured his career. In his time, he represented The Ramones, The Talking Heads, Jane's Addicition, Mick Jones, Shirley Manson and The Eurythmics. The cause of his death at the age of 61 is unknown; he is survived by [...]

Gary Kurfirst, whose long career included working closely with The Ramones , Talking Heads , Blondie , B52s — among others of lesser quality and equal/more fame — passed away while on vacation in the Bahamas earlier today. Here's what former Sire Records exec Seymour Stein had to say about Kurfirst: Gary was brilliant in his ability to spot changes in music ahead of most people and had the courage to act on his instincts. Gary was tough, but not cut-throat in business. He could fight [...]
Avec le froid sibérien annoncé pour demain, il pourrait être facile de perdre toute inspiration pour ma chronique, accablée par l'idée de finir congelée. Heureusement, j'ai quelque chose pour me faire oublier tout désagrément, et même, pour favoriser ma créativité : ma toute nouvelle pochette Louis Vuitton ! Je reprends donc le concept de chaîne magique imaginé par LaVoix il y a quelques mois: comment passer de Louis Vuitton, à Stephen Sprouse , à Debbie Harry et enfin à Blondie . Faut bien que je combine my passion for fashion et ma passion pour la musique... [...]
The artists for the latest War Child compilation Heroes have been announced and amongst the artists having a go at songs in the popular music canon are Beck, TV on the Radio, Scissor Sisters, Hot Chip, Estelle and Elbow.
