Love Inks – Show Review: June 1st, 2011, Le Cagibi, Montreal, Quebec Having traveled all the way to a small, quaint, charmingly cozy show café in Montreal from their hometown of Austin, the Love Inks frontwoman, Sherry LeBlanc deemed this a special show, for their E.S.P. release, after coming straight from her father's funeral. Dedication or what? As I sat and waited for the performance, I couldn't help but notice the character that Le Cagibi showcased which undoubtedly complimented the poised quartet. As the venue started to fill up, fans moved from the back to the [...]

We've amassed a ton of covers performed live by seminal alternative band The Smashing Pumpkins.
EastEnders' bid to take on everybody with an Equity card continues with news that David Essex is joining the cast as, obviously, a long-lost relative of someone who is already in the series. Checks paperwork Yes, it turns out David Essex is Shane Ritchie's Uncle. Bryan Kirkwood, executive producer of EastEnders, said: "David Essex is a brilliant signing for EastEnders. "He is a unique talent with a legion of fans, and he will bring warmth and charisma to the role of Eddie Moon. His [...]
Yup, it's Sunday, and that means it's time to kick back, and read a magazine or book, surf the web, do Christmas cards or tree decorating, and fire up the S-25 Mix. As with all of IRC's playlists and mixes, just click the first song and the Yahoo media player will automatically stream through all [...] Read more, get songs or stream the entire mix on Indie Rock Cafe
Here 'tis...the one thousand post mark (...AND some serious symptoms of carpel tunnel. Ow.) To celebrate this slightly auspicious milestone, we've got six of DC's hottest bands who'll be up in NYC next week, gigging and partying at CMJ. We corralled then the same way the folks at CMJ did— through their Sonicbids accounts—and all were please as punch to send us the low down on where they're buying their own records from in the District o' Columbia: True [...]
It's the internet sensation that's sweeping the nation. Except it's not, obviously. Good fun though. Simply go to the Wikipedia main page , hit 'Random article' and see what it throws up. Here's what I got on my latest effort... Geoffrey Osei-Bonsu Geoffrey Osei-Bonsu (Nana Osei) is a Ghanaian resident in The Netherlands. He founded and head the first Ghanaian TV station outside the shores of Ghana. (Sankofa Television 2001). Geoffrey is the CEO and co-founder of Teletext Broadcast Services Ltd. (TBS Ltd).

In the show a travelling funfair provides the backdrop to a moving contemporary love story. David plays the part of the funfair owner Levi Lee, who is coming to terms with the loss of his wife and the attentions of a newly divorced woman. He is also struggling to deal [...]
David Essex : Rock On [ purchase ] Rock On was written for the movie That'll Be The Day , which was part of a pair of films (the other being Stardust ) about the fictional character Jim MacLaine, played by singer/actor David Essex. If you love British Invasion music, I highly recommend the two. They're a bit hokey, but they give a great glimpse into the world of UK Rock musicians of the day and what it took to get to the toppermost [...]
The point in childhood where you purchase your own music makes you a discerning little bugger. And I was no exception. In a way, you're shaping your tastes without realising: why else did I prefer The Buggle's follow-up flop The Plastic Age to their mega hit Video Killed the Radio Star . I was becoming a musical snob. But before that I had no pretensions whatsoever. I had no conception of the likes of Bowie, Roxy Music or Marc Bolan until the 80s and Punk was something on the news. For most of the [...]

Joey Ramone once said that fun disappeared from music in 1974, so The Ramones reacted against the trend of big heavy self-indulgent prog rock bands that all tried to outdo each other in most complex licks and longest dramatic solos. Since 100b would literally not be if it weren't for the Ramones, all things that helped the birth of the band - even a bad year in music - are in a remote, roundabout way responsible for this here blog as well. Now let's have a peak at the year that sucked the fun out of music and consequently gave [...]
This week's mixtape starts off with a classic that I've been searching a long time for, from the Comsat Angels...hope you dig it as much as I have throughout the years. And special thanks to BC for tracking it down for me... Will You Stay Tonight - The Comsat Angels Renegades Of Funk - Rage Against The Machine No Need To Cry - Neko Case [...]
If there's something the first three episodes of this final (half) season have in common, it's the theme of father-son relationships, and the need to have a successor. First it was Bobby , who disappointed Tony by stepping into a Soprano argument. Then it was Christopher , who used his movie Cleaver to skewer Tony. This last one ("Remember When," S6E15,) has a reversal for Tony in that he takes on the role of son. He's still disappointed though, embarrassed that he ever looked up to Paulie as a father-figure. [...]
This is quite a package: David Essex, The Osmonds, Showaddywaddy and David Cassidy. Okay, perhaps now they're all lighter of temple and slower of pace, it's not quite the package it once was, but it's not so long that this bunch together would have been almost illegally stinking of sex: April 2007 11 - Glasgow SECC 12 - Nottingham Arena 13 - Brighton Centre 14 - London Wembley Arena 18 - Cardiff International Arena 19 - Birmingham NEC Arena 20 - Manchester MEN Arena 21 - Sheffield Arena music [...]
For those of you that don't know London too well, Canning Town is one of the poorer/harder parts of the East End of London being situated on the edge of London's once thriving docks. My father was born and raised there, he got out, though my grandfather, a provincial seafarer who came to the big smoke during the depression to find work and spent the rest of his life as a docker, didn't. I have fond memories of him as often I would stop off and have a pint with him as I headed off to the Bridgehouse, a popular [...]
