Matt Spalding At the risk of being overly literal, it probably goes without saying that a band called Editors would hardly be averse to making changes. But the Birmingham band's decision to push synthesizers to the fore on their third album, 20092s In This Light And On This Evening , might have been a little more stylistic revision than they or their fans bargained for. It didn't fare nearly as well, commercially-speaking, as either of its predecessors - fans apparently preferred them when they were aping Joy Division rather than New [...]
The other day I was wondering what ever happened to Liverpool songstress Candie Payne. Following the release of her impressive debut record I Wish I Could Have Loved You More, things went quiet. It was strange really because both the album and her vocal talents deserved much more notoriety. Toward the end 2010 Payne teamed up Zuton's [...]
Isn’t life wonderful? You can feel down and yet in a few clicks be transported to a state of near bliss – OK, feel slightly more cheerful - thanks to the power of the internet and video back catalogue. Let me introduce you to the holy matrimony of an alliance that is Kings Have Long Arms ft. Candie Payne . Now I have gone on record previously to warn about any songs with the very mention of the "ft" word in the artist credits. This is a blissful exception. “Big Umbrella” is a song released in January [...]
David Byrne David Byrne teams up with Fatboy Slim for pop-tastic Imelda Marcos concept album ‘ Here Lies Love ’ (yes, really) Talking Heads frontman and general art-pop oddball David Byrne has penned an Imelda Marcos musical (as you do), and he’s since turned into a double concept album. Well-connected Byrne has roped in Fatboy Slim on production duties, and bagged a seriously impressive list of WAPS-worthy guest vocalists such as Tori Amos, Cyndi Lauper, Roisin Murphy, Sia, Santigold, Florence [...]

Candie Payne In addition to having beautiful voices, Candie Payne and Holly Golightly have great porn star names. The two singers do an excellent job of channeling their inner Dusty Springfield with a touch of Sergio Mendes in their style of music. When Amy Winehouse dropped out of the running for the new James Bond theme song, I would have been on the horn to both of them ASAP. It turns out that Alicia Keys and Jack White got the nod to record the the title track, [...]
Candie Payne - brother of Howie, and part of the tangled tentacles of bands who turn up on Marc Riley's essential 6Music show - breaks new ground by popping up on Boing Boing TV: She grew up in the neighbourhood where Scrabble was invented, you know.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v =_qFzRWiQ3RA Kings Have Long Arms, "Big Umbrella" (Domino, 2008) As Candie Payne strolls through the rowhouses, this clip for Kings Have Long Arms ' "Big Umbrella" really starts to feel like 1970s British television, the sort of light comedy with a bit of the madcap thrown in that, here in America anyway, you'd see on late-night PBS. And hope for boobs. Then it goes color, and cartoony, and it gets into some Monty Python shizz. Not a bad song, either, though it is [...]

Good things don't always come to those who wait, at least for North American fans of UK pop. When Amy Winehouse's went supernova in North America last year, I assumed Sony would fast-track a domestic release for Candie Payne's I Wish I Could Have Loved You More, a retro-pop gem that would likely appeal to some of the millions who bought Back to Black. Yet, almost a full year after its May 2007 UK release, Payne's fine debut remains an import-only delicacy in Canada and the U.S. because ... because ... uh, who the hell knows? Nothing bemuses like the [...]
This week the cavs gm Danny Ferry was able to complete a trade that surprised everyone in town (and I think the league as well) he managed to (finally) trade Larry Hughes (along with several other players) and get Ben Wallace (and much more) in return. While he is not the player that he once was he still a very intimidating force and I can't believe he is going to be suiting up come tomorrow for the wine and gold (and I will be in attendance to witness this). and now something for the ears... [...]
This news story made me sad, sad, sad today. I love feisty, spunky, punky Pink and her love affair with Carey Hart has always been interesting to me for some reason. I love that they’re both eccentric, driven individuals and I love that she proposed to him and now I hate to hear that they’re parting ways. Good love gone wrong always makes my heart hurt. Maybe love will prevail and they’ll
I’m still getting emails about my end of year lists and while I had them all finished obviously, if you’re a reader here then you understand why there’s been such a delay. But, I suppose I might as well finish them all up even if it is already February. I'll continue with them as I have time and so, on to the next group. Not since the 90’s explosion of empowered Lilith Fair type female singer
Well its nearly the end of 2007 so I asked nialler if I could do another blog highlighting some albums that he missed or hadn’t time to cover over the year and he agreed (It was Christmas Eve so maybe he regrets that now). Anyway here are a few, in no particular order that I feel were overlooked. (more...)
The annual Zeon's Christmas mix has finally seen the day, just in time. An hour and 15 mins of festive tunes. Delivered in 128kbps mp3s. With a thematically minimal cover. Also nicely wrapped in a zipped file for your convenience. So get those fingers working! Although the last thing you should do on Christmas Eve is to spend your precious time sitting at the computer to download some mp3s from a faceless blogger. Hope all is having a wonderful time with family & friends, with plenty of reasons to celebrate. There's something for everyone here, and some gems I've been [...]
Let's get right to rounding off the latter half of this esteemed list: 11. The Bees - Octopus In some ways, I was surprised myself to see this album up at #11. This UK collective, though, delivers potently sweet retro tunes that are sure to conjure images and sounds of AM radio gold. With delightful harmonies, rolling funky guitars, and some neat little horn sections, The Bees' Octopus is a groovy rock opus. "Got to Let Go" has got a [...]
Artiste : Candie Payne Album : I Wish I Could Have Loved You More Pays : Angleterre Genre : Pop Il y a comme un air de redite, n'est-ce-pas ? Rappelez-vous le 27 mai dernier, l'ami Ulrich signait un billet sur la belle. Peu de bruit de ce côté-ci de la Manche, espérons que son passage aux Transmusicales lui [...]
As you're probably already well aware, I have two great obsessions: Mark Ronson and random lists. Because I this, I would like to present to you Mark Ronson's Best of 2007 list via Paste Magazine . Richard Swift - Dressed Up For the Letdown I heard him play live last year in a tiny club and was pretty much counting down the days til this came out. It's got lovely Lennon-ish songwriting and warm and fuzzy bass lines. The White Stripes - Icky [...]
Song obsessions are those songs that we listen to on repeat. I noticed that my obsessions are often a week long. I also thought that other people might have similar obsessions. I've collected a panel of a few like-minded individuals and gotten their "song obsessions of the week." Quite often it's easy to explain why the song is good; it's much hard to explain why we're obsessed. Maybe you'll become obsessed with one of these. - Adrian ( me ): Candie Payne - All I Need to Hear [...]
