Bow Wow Wow: Fools Rush In [ purchase ] 14 year old Burmese Londoner Annabella Lwin had been working in a dry cleaners when punk impressario Malcom McLaren recruited her and three members of Adam and The Ants to form the Burundi drummers-inspired Bow Wow Wow. Two years before their cover of the Strangeloves' "I Want Candy" hit the UK Top Ten , they released a poppy cover of this forty year old Johnny Mercer/ Rube Bloom standard, originally sung by the likes of Frank Sinatra, Ray Eberle and Billy Eckstine.

Now that I've wasted so much time here establishing a few traditions, I'd be remiss to honor not them... Almost every artist in the history of mankind has at least one title in their catalog that is a compilation, a stopgap collection meant to maintain interest between releases (often to boost holiday sales) or to fulfill a contractual obligation. This is the former, a chance to make use, one more time, of a lot of wasted time over the past twelve months. Three years ago, I reflected on the annual, childhood tradition of [...]
One of the cable stations is running some week-long airing of the movies in the Rocky series. I remember seeing the first movie in the theater in '76 when the film was captivating the country and I've never seen an audience more electrified . It's a stellar movie. Numbers II and III were decent popcorn flicks, but by the time I got dragged to number IV, things had reached a cringe-inducing point. That aside, I had to watch the opening montage to Rocky III when I happened across it if [...]
A few weeks ago, I was playing The Clash's Combat Rock in the record store (where I work). When the song "Straight to Hell" came on, the clerk I was working with gave me a look and said something along the lines of "I didn't think you liked MIA" (in reference to MIA's song "Paper Planes", which features a sample of "Straight to Hell"). For the record, I don't like MIA, but I quickly corrected her as to what it was we were listening to. She responded, "Ah, I knew it sounded familiar, but the tempo was different." This got [...]
Several months ago, one of the cable stations burned an weekend showing episodes of The Twilight Zone . I, not wanting to appear ungrateful, burned an entire weekend watching episodes of The Twilight Zone . This continued a tradition dating back to college when - fall semester, sophomore year - I had to skip all classes that interfered with me watching Rod Serling's visionary show on WGN (it aired weekedays, noon 'til one o'clock). One of the classes that I often missed due to this unfortunate scheduling conflict was a class on the occult [...]

Mahlathini and the Mahotella Queens - "Umculo Kawupheli" Malcolm McLaren, best-known as the manager of the Sex Pistols, passed away recently. Although a fan of his music—1983's Duck Rock is a visionary and enthusiastic work of genre-hopscotching—I can't help but feel ambivalent about his career. Perhaps Tom at It Took Seconds put it best when said the McLaren was "a good businessman but not a good businessman". After the Sex Pistols, he recruited 3/4's of Adam and the Ants to [...]
Londres, la boutique SEX, Vivienne Westwood, Johnny Rotten, Sid Vicious... La scène la plus célèbre de la carrière de Malcolm McLaren, vous la connaissez tous par coeur. Les New York Dolls puis les Sex Pistols, des noms à consonance bien trop familière pour qu'il soit utile de revenir une énième fois sur les fameux faits d'arme du manager le plus célèbre de la planète rock, décédé brutalement le jeudi 8 avril 2010 à l'âge de soixante-quatre ans. Plutôt que de ressasser ce que vous avez déjà lu dans tous les journaux, Hartzine a préféré, pour lui rendre hommage, revenir sur [...]
Malcolm Mclaren Tribute Mix by Dj Premier Blog Radio on Mixcloud Download Mix Tellement fou! Les samples "Premier! Dj Premier!" sur les Sex Pistols! Enjoy. And RIP Malcolm... tweet
DJ Premier , y'know the guy who defined what fundamental NYC Hip Hop production sounds like by producing Ganstarr, MOP, Group Home, Biggie, Nas and a zillion other peoples classic record pays tribute to punk/fashion antangonist Malcolm McLaren who passed last Thursday at the age of 64. Premier's tribute splices soundclips of McLaren stumbling up Hip Hop in the early 80's because "a big black guy"" was wearing a Sex Pistols t-shir so McLaren struck up a convo with him. That man turned out to be Afrika Bambatta. The mix follows through the 80's and his [...]
pic Candy , specifically sugar candy , is a confection made from a concentrated solution of sugar in water, to which flavorings and colorants are added. Candies come in numerous colors and varieties and have a long history in popular culture. The word "candy" comes from the Sanskrit खुड् "çahn-da", meaning "piece (of sugar)", which again perhaps from Dravidian (cf. Tamil கன்டு kantu "candy", கட்டு kat tu "to harden, condense"). [1] In North America, candy is a broad category that includes candy bars , chocolates , [...]
Without Malcolm McLaren would there have been a Madonna or a Paris Hilton? Has there been someone who played the PR game as well? True, you can't think of music history without thinking of The Sex Pistols, and you can't think of The Sex Pistols without thinking of Malcolm McLaren. How much of that is due to his actual contribution we'll never know - the water has been too muddied - but he's one of a small handful of managers who have widespread name recognition. What we do know is his ability to use fashion, to [...]

Some cover versions of songs from acts associated with Malcolm McLaren, the former manager of The Sex Pistols, to commemorate his death aged 64
Filed under: News , R.I.P. Malcolm McLaren , the British entrepreneur and musician who's best known as the founder and ex-manager of the Sex Pistols , died Thursday morning in New York. According to the Independent , the 64-year-old had been battling cancer. The London native originally got involved in the music business through fashion, starting a clothing store in the city with his partner, Vivienne Westwood. After meeting the New York Dolls on a trip to the US in the early '70s, [...]
As the eve of a new year has taken us by storm... Wait, it's not 2009 anymore? Never you mind. We proceed anyway, taking time out to remember a film centered solely on New Year - and Elvis Costello, Dave Chappelle, and Courtney Love (say that in one sentence with a straight face). There is no gooey center to an ensemble cast of familiar faces hustling about New York on the eve of 1982. Entertaining in doses, the 1999 critic bomb 200 Cigarettes is a twenty-something clusterfuck and unintentional sequel to Can't Hardly Wait (the movie, [...]
I popped into the city library in Limerick yesterday and was quite saddened to see the above notice prominently displayed on the counter of the library's music section. Now, it wasn't the content of the notice that got to me as I am fully aware that the music contained on the CDs that I borrow does not belong to me and that I only have the use of it for a certain period of time. No, there were two things about the sign that upset me. Firstly, it is also illegal for members of the library to photocopy substantial portions [...]
Tommy Dorsey & Frank Sinatra Fools Rush In Bow Wow Wow Fools Rush In (Kevin Shields Remix) Earlier last week, within the space of twenty minutes, I'd heard two separate versions of Johnny Mercer 's Fools Rush In in two different places. Kismet, y'know? Obviously Fate had something dastardly in store for me if I kept up the same breakneck pace I am known for, so I resolved to live life [...]
As someone commented the other day, I'm old. Well, not really. I mean, I am older than I was, but I'd like to think that I am not close to as old as I will be. However, since my brush with death last week , I've been giving great thought to my mortality and the things I have yet to achieve. (it really wasn't so dire and I rarely think of my own mortality aside from the fact that it would be an unimpeachable excuse to stay home from work) [...]
