As a music nerd, I'll admit that my musical favorites always change. You know, the old Top 5 question, well, I change mine, but one constant that I swear will never go away is The Wedding Present and David Gedge. His lyrical prowess always fascinates me, and I can't say enough about his guitar playing. We're fortunate enough to offer up a nice stream of a new Wedding Present track from their upcoming album Valentina , which will hit stores in the US on March 20th. One [...]
¿Cuántos discos "tributo a…" han escuchado? Parece un método eficiente el de reunir a muchas bandas, hacer que elijan la canción que más les guste de un grupo y ponerlos a tocar para así grabar un disco que, seguramente se venderá. Tal vez no es el proceso adecuado el [...]
Love or hate The Smiths , it's a testament to their songwriting legacy that the B-side "Please, Please, Please Let Me Get What I Want" alone has been covered more than a dozen times by artists ranging from the Deftones and The Dream Academy to Zooey Deschanel and M. Ward. Reactions to The Smiths' music run from delirious adoration to not being able to stand the sound of Morrissey's voice; Please, Please, Please is a must-get for the former category and just may be the most perfectly acceptable dose of Moz for those who fall into the [...]

Say whhhhhhhhat! A new Smiths tribute album is in the works via American Laundromat Records shamelessly titled Please, Please, Please: A Tribute To The Smiths. Some of our fav artists - including Class Actress, Elk City and Katy Goodman - among others are contributing. Here is the track list with coinciding artist that are confirmed: Cinerama / [...]
C'est proprement incompréhensible ! Le score commis par Daft Punk pour accompagner la sortie de Tron Legacy récolte ici ou là (liste non limitative) de bien piteuses critiques. Une situation d'autant plus étonnante que depuis 6 mois, et le début du marketing autour de ce petit film guère attendu au tournant par 8,73 millions de geeks, chacun [...]
I may only have lived in the Wiltshire village of Seend for about four or five months about ten years ago (seriously, ten?) but the fact that I had no job, nor was able to find one, meant that the music I listened to ended up with an extra resonance. Apart from looking for jobs I didn't know how to find, I spent an inordinate amount of time browsing through copies of Uncut magazine, back before it turned to shit, and buying albums based on how well I liked the songs they chose for their covermount CDs. [...]
This week's episode of Danger Radio - the glorious Episode 70 - is different versions of songs that have been played on the previous 70 episodes. In some cases, it's the original where a cover has been played. In others, it's a cover where the original had been played. Some are unmixed originals, some are demos... Everything about Episode 70 is still different and yet the same. Welcome to bizarro world, Superman. PLAYLIST: Pavement - The Classical (Peel Session) The Apples In Stereo - Touch the Water Jim Reid - I'm [...]
Oubliez David Fincher et son futur The Social Network qui sera à Seven ce que Matrix était à 2001, l'odyssée de l'espace et délectez vous des premières images de Java-4-Ever, un petit film indépendant dans la veine d'American Beauty. Le majestueux trailer de cette production à l'image léchée laisse entrevoir un opus sous forme de roman [...]
There's always been something about listening to The Wedding Present that made my life seem so relevant. Perhaps it was the way Gedge told his stories, always aligning his first person narratives with my life, or at least seemingly so. Of course, he also ran those buzzsaw guitars all over the place, furiously creating melodies out of nowhere. I know I'm not the only fan of this band, as I clearly see their influence on many UK bands coming our way now. Luckily, Gedge has opted to tour the world playing the band's classic [...]
What a decade, huh? This one's notable as having been spent entirely in NYC, and entirely of the digital age which changed the way everybody listened to music. (Maybe not my parents but everyone else.) We had more access to everything, and less to to spend with it. That said, there was no shortage of good music, though I don't think anything hit me quite as hard as the previous decade -- partly due to age, party due to aforementioned information overload. There's nothing from this year, as I feel it's too close to [...]
Comment faire de la pub, sans en faire, tout en en faisant, mais avec juste ce qu'il faut de cool pour que ça ne se remarque pas trop ? Hum, la question agite la blogosphère depuis que James Cameron et Logitech ont compris que le blog fait vendre de l'action figure "schtroumpfée" et des souris [...]
Lazy posting today. Here's a straight lift from wikipedia :- Originally formed in 1998 while on a break from The Wedding Present, Cinerama started as a duo of Gedge and his then-girlfriend Sally Murrell . The initial releases were a break from previous Gedge records as they featured soundtrack-like arrangements and string and woodwind accompaniment. Live performances included a lot of musicians to play these orchestral/pop songs. Over the years though the sound changed back to more of a rock sound, especially [...]
Wow, nearly five years of posts and I couldn't find even one Cinerama post in the archive. This song comes from their 2001 Los Angeles show at the Knitting Factory . It happened right before I moved to LA, but I saw them play on the same tour at the 400 Bar in Minneapolis. This is the same show that was officially released as "Live in Los Angeles" but this is sourced from a better than average audience recording with more obnoxious crowd noise and shouting to give you that "you were there" feeling. [...]
Reprise par Lou Reed en 1995 à l'occasion d'un hommage à l'immense Doc Pomus, This Magic Moment est à l'origine l'une de ces sucreries 60's dont les américains raffolaient en ces temps d'abondance économique et de menace atomique sur leur way of life. De la chanson originale, Lou ne retient pourtant que le texte et [...]
It's a story I've been dying to share with you for weeks, but I didn't want to interrupt the series of guest postings. It was Saturday 9th May, and I was with three friends travelling by train from Glasgow to Kirkcaldy (via Edinburgh) for the final football match of the season. Despite the weather being absolutely miserable, we were in great spirits as my team, Raith Rovers, had clinched the league title the previous Saturday, and the final match was all set to be played in a party atmosphere with the trophy being presented to the players afterwards. [...]
C'était inévitable... Les premiers signes de la future invasion par les machines ayant commencé avec la sortie de l'iPhone et l'expansion planétaire de Twitter, la résistance s'organise. La preuve avec ce joli graffiti bien réac qui respire la vieille économie, la disquette 3,5 pouces et la défaillance orthographique (hé avec un E, le mot zombie). Pour [...]
image from here Well, it has been awhile that is for sure. Almost forgot how to run this thing.... Don't want to clutter this space with my personal crap but suffice it to say I am lucky to be alive. Suicide attempts are not pleasant things to talk about. Unfortunately, I am still suffering from severe depression, among other things and struggle to make it through each day. Well, enough about that already. This is supposed to be about the music. And I must admit I am on a [...]
