Filed under: Exclusive , Spinner Interview Jeff Kravitz, FilmMagic Forty-seven years after the release of his first single, "Catch the Wind," Donovan was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame . Coinciding with the honor was the release of a double-disc compilation of his music, The Essential Donovan , which covers the years 1965 to 1973, and contains four songs that had either not been issued in the [...]

I'm of an age where Tim Hardin 's Reason To Believe is heard first and foremost in the voice of a late-career Rod Stewart - an inauspicious echo for a song so powerful, and so well-covered. But a good coverwatcher learns to spot trends among the liner notes as he gathers in the sheaves. And so, with today's culminating feature, we come to honor a gradual and growing awareness of the work of the sixties and seventies singer-songwriter among a generation of artists and fans born after his rise and fall from grace [...]

I have never loved Beastie Boys as much as I probably should. And I think it's a bit premature to be celebrating the trio's entire body of work, or Red Hot Chili Peppers', for that matter -- at least not before bestowing such an honor on Linda Ronstadt and ELO (Electric Light Orchestra). As for Guns N' Roses, I was probably the only person on the third floor of Hume Hall at the University of Florida who didn't get excited every time Sweet Child o' Mine" and "Paradise City" played on the radio or MTV during freshman year.

Filed under: News , Exclusive , Rock Hall , Q + A Chris Epting While Axl Rose 's no-show for Guns N' Roses ' induction will surely be the hot topic of this weekend's Rock and Roll Hall of Fame ceremony, the other artists being honored certainly deserve as much, if not more, attention.

Les fans des Donovans peuvent se réjouir, voici venir un nouvel EP ! Spearhead sortira le 25 mars prochain et pas sur n'importe quel label, les deux français le sorte en effet sur le renommé Blood Music , dont le boss n'est autre que Fake Blood qui oriente donc clairement son projet vers la techno. En effet, les Donovans nous proposent dans cet EP, deux nouveaux morceaux Spearhead et Slavic Mind . Une techno somme toute assez rugueuse et corrosive, qui ravagera sans aucun doute les dancefloors. Nous sommes [...]

An unexpected addition on the final night of this year's South by Southwest festival, 60s pop icon (and recent Rock 'n Roll Hall of Fame inductee) Donovan played a surprise set at The Palm Door in downtown Austin on Saturday. Though he was not mentioned in the SXSW itinerary or on its website, an unceremonious listing of his name on the festival calendar in Friday's Austin Chronicle drew a few hundred fans to the tiny venue: "I didn't come to South by Southwest this year expecting to perform," Donovan explained to the crowd. "But somebody [...]

ESSENCE TO ESSENCEDONOVAN (Escócia)Edição original: EpicProdutor(es): Donovan, Andrew Loog Oldhamdiscogs allmusic wikipedia É ideia mais ou menos estabelecida de que, em 1973, Donovan Leitch já tinha entrado na fase descendente da sua carreira.

Photo still: Hotel Chevalier Wes Anderson's long withstanding obsession with mellow, baroque pop and british invasion bands is fascinating to me. I keep uncovering my new, old favorite song every time I see one of his movies. I even have a playlist dedicated to his films, filled with songs and artists I discovered thanks to him and a few more songs that I think would fit in his next hypothetical movie. I've no idea what his next movie will be about but I've been thinking that his mostly muted, awkward characters would develop grandly in [...]

Electronique duo Donovans have been fried and tested by Southern Fried Records with their new techno thrill builder 'Night of wrath'. The duo consist of both Nicolas Nekmouche & David Saïd. David was a producer for some French underground rap band and a DJ, Nicolas was doing some experimental music in his room/cave, then they decided to gather their forces to bring some funky vibes to the French scene. 'Night of wrath' is double rainbow intense with a weird kind of squishiness to the synthy bass. Am I right? [...]
London label Southern Fried Records is showing some of their cherished hospitality by greasing up the dance floor with another set of Fried & Tested Tracks for their fourth installment in their compilation series. Variety has always been the recipe but instead of straying off into droney oblivion each number feels carefully selected to do damage in any peak time set. Which comes to no surprise as the tracklist features Europe's hard hitting house and techno bantams like Italy's party posse Reset! and the sinister Milano duo Magnvm! . This get together of ripening talent has served a great platform for [...]
