A través de su cuenta de Twitter , la banda nombrada en honor a la droga Dexedrina nos han dado algunos detalles de la producción y apenas hoy mostraron la portada del álbum. El LP llevará por nombre One Day I'm Going to Soar [...]
The Brits behind "Come On Eileen" are back together.
Over here, Dexy's Midnight Runners are known as those guys in overalls who sang "Come On Eileen," and they're staples of those One Hit Wonders countdowns that still show up on VH1 every once in a while, though. In their native England, though, the band were considered to be a great and serious soul-revival crew who had a ton of hits in the early-to-mid '80s. The band broke up in 1986, and there's been stalled-out talk of reunions since. But NME reports that the band is finally back together and ready to release its fourth [...]
I posted this piece on November 24 last year. I re-post it now as a tribute to Don Cornelius, who died, apparently by his own hand, at the age of 75 today, February 1. Don Cornelius was the father of my favourite sub-genre of music, early 1970s soul. With this, I salute him. If you say Soul Train , Americans of a certain generation and fans of soul and funk anywhere will think of funky [...]
As 2011 has come to an end, we are taking a look back at some of our favorite posts of the year by our guest editors. The 25-year career of singer/songwriter John Wesley Harding has skyrocketed of late with the publication of no fewer than three critically acclaimed novels under his birth name, Wesley Stace. [...]
The 25-year career of singer/songwriter John Wesley Harding has skyrocketed of late with the publication of no fewer than three critically acclaimed novels under his birth name, Wesley Stace. Equally amazing, the artist named for Bob Dylan's misspelling of Texas gunfighter John Wesley Harden has just released the finest album of a career that's seen [...]
If you say Soul Train , Americans of a certain generation and fans of soul and funk anywhere will think of funky dancers with big 'fros and hot threads, Don Cornelius' flamboyantly fashionable suits and baritone voice, the animated train, hair care products ads, scrambleboards, awkward audience questions, cool catchphrases and great music. You could bet your last dollar, it was gonna be a stone gas, honey. Soul Train 's cultural impact was tremendous. The first nationally syndicated black music show, it was owned by a black man (presenter Cornelius), staffed mostly by black people, [...]
In past instalments of this series I have been very careful to issue a caveat about the music that I would feature, emphasising that the songs were chosen not because I endorsed them, but because they had the power to transport me back to a particular time or place. This caveat still applies, but it is becoming less necessary than before as the series goes on. This episode features some of my all-time favourite singles, and a few songs which I don't mind hearing again. There is only among these eight songs from which I'd emphatically have to distance myself. [...]
I'll tell you what just caught me by surprise - the fact that I am moving to Leicester in two days time. Like I've known this for a while now, but I've never really thought about it. Or prepared for it. my first new friend of next week The facts, as I know them, are as follows. I start a job in Leicester University at 9am [...]

According to the band's newly-opened Twitter account , the band consists of singer Kevin Rowland , ex-Style Council keyboardist Mick Talbot, original Dexy's bassist Pete [...]
I don't think anyone saw this coming: a new album from Dexy's Midnight Runners . Except they're not called Dexy's Midnight Runners any more; nor are they going to be Kevin Rowland And Dexy's Midnight Runners, as they were for a spell. Oh, no. This is 2012, and Dexys are Dexys. It's true, as there's been a tweet: "Dexys new album. Can't really say why, because it's hard to put down to any one thing, but it's working - it's early days, but so far so good." There had been a reunion tour [...]
![[Introducing] – Just Another Snake Cult](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3434925_lg.jpg)
Tweet Somewhere between the quirky pop sensibility of Mull Historical Society and the actual insanity of The Fiery Furnaces ' "Blueberry Boat" lies the work of Thorir Bogason, otherwise known as Just Another Snake Cult. I wasn't aware that there were particularly many snake cults still around these days, but I'm delighted that there's another one. Sometimes music just makes you grin like an idiot. Born in Iceland (Maybe it's something in the water? Bjork's pretty cuckoo, right?) but raised in California, Thorir [...]
Dexys Midnight Runners : Until I Believe In My Soul [ purchase ] In the United Sates, Dexys Midnight Runners are regarded as a one hit wonder, on account of their 1982 megahit Come On Eileen. One may charitably ascribe such a narrow view to the insularity of a society that believes its biggest sporting codes enjoy such global popularity as to justify calling their national competitions "world series". Of course Dexys are not a conventional one hit wonder; in most [...]
Je suis un grand sportif (qui a grandi de 2cm au fait -véridique, l'info est de ce matin 11h53), équipé de chaussures adaptées (baskets trouées) à chacune de mes activités et dans la force de l'âge (quoique cela veuille dire). Malgré tout cela, je me suis niqué mon genou samedi dernier en faisant un trois [...]
Two new free mixtapes have hit the Internet in the past few weeks and they share a common sound: dream pop. The way they get there, though, couldn't be more different. Music Tumblrs Cactus Mouth and The Unholy Rhythm deliver a set of covers of songs from the late '50s and early '60s. That means lots of proto-rock tunes from the likes of the Everly Brothers and Bo Diddley, given the indie sort of beach-haze vibe so popular these days. It's not just a bunch of Best Coast wannabes though; more earnest acoustic material crops up every now and then. [...]
