~ First Aid Kit - "Hard Believer" ~ Though they're usually dubbed as folk I think this song has more elements of alt country, which for a Swedish band should be completely wrong but this is gorgeous in so, so many ways. ~ David Cronenberg's Wife - "Sweden" ~ I might as well admit that it was their name that initially made me curious. Slightly bizarre and the lyrics are pretty much just spoken yet it manages to be a pretty catchy tune. Their song "My Best Friend's [...]
(image borrowed from Marsneedsguitars.com - I was in a rush...)As is often the way with searching and researching music, it was on reading the eMusic biography and interview with Bosque Brown that a comment about Townes Van Zandt being her main inspiration caught my eye. This immediately reminded me of the recent Hear Ya blog posting about a MadMackerel favourite, Steve Earle and his forthcoming
Well there goes another year and with a new one about to begin it's a good time to reflect another year over and a new one about to begin it's time to reflect on the year just gone and consider the top 10 tracks that rocked the Devil's world. How will history judge the world of 2008? The beginning of the end of global capitalism with the world's financial system in meltdown? The historic election of a black president in America? The world turning a blind eye to Zimbabwe's collapse? The start of [...]
Ryan (StopMe): Here are another ten of the finest and freshest sounds unearthed from the four corners of the Earth: Cee-Lo contributes more than just his soulful vocals to Chicago rapper Common's 'Make My Day' as he also brings in some Gnarls Barkley style Pop sunshine. If only Gnarls Barkley had had a tune this good on their second album. The Dodos bring a bit of Banjo picking Folk introspection on 'Walking' . It's the opener to their [...]
Cartoline dal Pigneto Sabato pomeriggio a Roma non rientravo nei diversi conteggi di organizzatori e Questura. Come ogni volta, mi meravigliavo di questa città che riesce ad accogliere centinaia di migliaia di persone e lasciarti comunque lo spazio per andare a zonzo in camicia del tutto smemorato. Del resto, a me era bastato incontrare le ragazze di Frigopop al loro debutto, FedePop al suo tracollo e La Donna di Prestigio al suo mejo per essere già soddisfatto. Sul palco erano stati una [...]
Although the name of this London band is not as brilliant as say Natalie Portman's Shaved Head, Duran Duran Duran or John Cougar Concentration Camp , David Cronenberg's Wife is still pretty amazing. After all, the guy directed Naked Lunch and Videodrome . Shit, I'd marry him. (By the way, David Cronenberg 's real wife is editor and director Carolyn Zeifman ( pic ), whom he has been married to since '79. Wait till she hears about this one!) Now, on to the music."My Best Friend's Going Out [...]
After Hours is back after a short vacation. We've been in touch with tons of your favourite artists as well as some of our new favourite acts to find out what they've been listening/reading/watching etc. Kicking things off this week is David Cronenberg's Wife's lead singer Tom Mayne.
Despite unavoidable assumptions, Bluebeard's Room is not an album made by pirates. Or for pirates. It has absolutely nothing to do with pirates, unless there's some hugely subtle or coded reference, or a band member was a pirate in a previous life. Another variable seems to be the band's nationality. At times ( see 'Johnny Bentham's Dilemma' and 'I Couldn't Get Off') the vocals have a Dylan drawl and words run together, with a touch of Kings Of Leon lazy articulating, but the accent is as English as [...]
