R.I.P. Whitney Houston

Feb 12, 4:00pm KEXP Blog

By now, you've most likely heard the sad passing of Whitney Houston on every news outlet and social media network. Although you're unlikely to hear Whitney Houston directly on KEXP, her influence was undeniable and widespread. Even the most jaded hipsters may count her songs and albums as a core part of their early music listening experience, and countless bands cite her as an inspiration. As news continues to spread online, her music and influence is being celebrated by a wide range of artists - from Black Lips to Foster the People to [...]

The Lemonheads: January 11, 2012 Knitting Factory – FLAC and MP3 Downloads + Streaming Songs

Jan 16, 11:23am nyctaper

[Photos by Ken Grand-Pierre. See his Flickr stream here ] As acts from the early 90s have continued to take victory laps over the past few years, I have had a chance to reflect on how different the personalities were that dominated the music scene then than those from today's self-affirming generation making vital new music today. In an era principally concerned with authenticity, its troubadours were often people who lived hard and felt deeply - addicts, romantics, and the generally self-destructive. And if you wanted a picture of the archetypal musician of the era, you might consider [...]

Live: Our Still-Bedraggled Buddy. The Lemonheads, Shepherd's Bush Empire.

Dec 15, 2011, 2:29pm Dots & Dashes

While Evan Dando may be a prime slacker as casual as an army of devout ATP aficionados, to a full house at the Empire he unplugs intermittently the lethargic aesthetic to reveal an inner romantic purely (and at times wonderfully puerilely) splurging contorted impressions of human affection and still-confounding metaphor. The Lemonheads aren't of course here to send us all stampeding possessedly in the direction of the starkly, artificially illuminated merch stand at the back of this once-characterful venue to then tear glinting cellophane from the smoothed back of a new [...]

Toadcast #199 – The Barfcast

Nov 5, 2011, 12:36pm Song, by Toad

This is called the Barfcast because I feel like utter, unmitigated shite this morning, after another awesome evening with Mrs. Toad getting scooshed and playing records. I think I had Weald on at the maximum volume our amp can actually manage. Which, for the record, is pretty fucking loud. So now I am off to get ready for not one, but three gigs. Firstly the Ides of Toad at Henry's, then Lach and Viv Albertine after that, and then Flamin' Hott Toadzzz! in Anstruther tomorrow. When the chance to have a good sleep comes, I think I will [...]

Tour Dates: When Life Give You Lemons, Make Lemonheads

Oct 25, 2011, 9:00am Hidden Track

With all the attention being paid to celebrating the legacy grunge bands this year, it's easy to forget that the early 19902s were also a true turning point for a genre that was previously known as college rock, but had been rechristened alternative thanks in part to MTV shows like Alternative Nation and 120 Minutes. Among the bands that found themselves suddenly gaining new fans, which included a young Scotty B, thanks to MTV airplay was the Boston-based act The Lemonheads .

Concert Review: The Lemonheads, October 17, Lee's Palace

Oct 20, 2011, 8:57am The Panic Manual

There are some people, in spite of their every effort and bad habits , that will never age a day. Evan Dando of the Lemonheads happens to be one of those people. If anything, Dando has aged like a fine wine even with his much-publicized affair with drugs, a marriage with a model that has recently ended, and a self-proclaimed lack of ambition. Dando is now 44 years old, separated from his wife, and living a sober(er) life post-alcoholism (though he still maintains he likes taking mushrooms on a monthly basis). For those of you [...]

Nothing Can Hurt Me: The Big Star Story

Oct 8, 2011, 4:17am katosblog.com

Nothing Can Hurt Me: The Big Star Story -dokumentti kuvaa Big Starin matkaa, johon mahtuu sekä unohtumattomia levyjä ja kappaleita, jotka ovat vaikuttaneet syvästi moniin että kaupallisia pettymyksiä, hermoromahduksia ja kuolemaa. Dokumentin pitkähköllä trailerilla monet muusikot muistelevat yhtyettä ja sen jäseniä. Oman hetkensä saa myös Evan Dando , joka kertoo tajunneensa Big Starin avulla, ettei The Beatles ja melodinen musiikki sittenkään ole aivan saatanasta. "The film is a unique portrait of an incredibly talented group of musicians who crafted three albums now considered pop masterpieces (all of which charted on Rolling Stone's [...]

The pair, who have dubbed themselves The Throne, have lined up a 24-date fall tour, that kicks [...]

Lemonheads plan 'It's a Shame About Ray' tour

Jul 12, 2011, 1:38pm Drawer B

The Lemonheads are gearing up for a tour supporting or celebrating (but more likely cashing in on) an album that came out 19 years ago. It's A Shame About Ray is founding member Evan Dando's unquestionable masterpiece. Never has he put together a collection of such effortless, memorable, and affecting folk-pop. Despite Dando's notorious struggles with drugs over the years and his inability to gain any lasting traction with subsequent albums, fans will likely come out of the woodwork to hear this record performed in its entirety. The Lemonheads is and has always been Dando, so [...]

Big Star documentary 'Nothing Can Hurt Me"

There *is* a documentary on legendary 70s Memphis powerpop band Big Star coming sometime this year...yes, you too will be able to hear the ins and outs of the story behind that band that just didn't quite make it huge in 1974 when it should have. It seems like the new doc will be made up of a lot of tribute footage from the 2010 shows at SXSW right before Alex Chilton died. There's footage in the trailer/screener below with The Posies' Ken Stringfellow and Jon Auer, [...]
