There are several things that most people associate with music bloggers; either we're super arrogant about our tastes, or just have loads of free time and connections. For the most part, I think people tend to put me in the first category, considering I have a full-time job that isn't this web site, but I feel like I always have to justify myself, proving I'm not a snob. I'm pretty sure my love for this genre establishes my inability to escape mockery in all instances. It's true, I love ska/ska-punk, whatever you call it. I spent loads of weekends as [...]
While not everyone will agree with my sentiments, I've always been a big fan of the Downpatrick, Northern Ireland band Ash. From their second album, "Goldfinger" went to #5 in the UK and #13 in Ireland in 1996...

Es martes y por lo tanto ha llegado la hora de los covers , el momento en el que los editores de Cuchara Sónica elegimos una canción y cinco versiones de la misma, no sólo para recordar un tema sino sus diversas interpretaciones. El día de hoy les traigo a la que sin duda es una de mis bandas favoritas: The Cure . Este grupo, comandando por el gran Robert Smith , tiene una carrera de varias décadas y numerosos éxitos en el bolsillo, aunque sin duda su época de mayor prestigio fue durante los [...]

Een van de nummers die in mijn hoofd schiet al het over Britpop gaat, is Goldfinger van Ash. Halverwege de jaren negentig, ongeveer tegelijk met Kula Shaker kwam Ash op. Het begon met een bescheiden hit Girl From Mars, toen kwam Goldfinger als grote doorbraak en daarna volgde nog wat succes met Oh Yeah en A Life Less Ordinary, inderdaad de titeltrack van de gelijknamige film met Ewan McGregor en Cameron Diaz. Goldfinger doet me altijd denken aan een van de laatste vakanties dat ik met mijn ouders mee ging. In Frankrijk kwamen we op campings waar heel [...]
I had never heard of D.R.U.G.S, but was surfing the interweb and noticed via the Key Club's Facebook that the show was sold-out. I figured, why not see what they are all about? This show was part of the Ernie Ball Battle Of The Bands showcase and featured D.R.U.G.S as the headlining act. For those of you that don't know who D.R.U.G.S is, that's not too surprising. This was only their 3rd performance, and they are a relatively new group. The band consists of Craig Owens, formerly of the band [...]

We can't be the only ones feeling a bit of nostalgia for the music of ten years ago. Reel Big Fish have announced their plans to tour with Goldfinger this November. The team-up only seems logical, though don't expect the two to be sharing the road for too long. But don't worry, Reel Big Fish's revival of the ska revival will continue without Golfinger immediately after, and they'll bring the very awesome Aquabats with them.

Filed under: Concerts and Tours , News , Exclusive In the late '90s, ska enjoyed a brief surge in popularity and a new generation of fans discovered the music of the Specials . Formed in Coventry, England in 1977, the group was among the first to combine Jamaican rhythms with punk aggression, paving the way for Goldfinger , Sublime and the Mighty Mighty Bosstones , among others. As those latter-day groups rose to prominence, scoring moderate hits on modern-rock radio, Specials lead singer [...]
With tomorrow being the day St. Patrick's Day is celebrated with the parade, my mind naturally goes to drinking. Sadly, this year I will not be participating in my recent tradition of drinking my face off with a bunch of Irish fellers downtown. That is because I have a four month old at [...]

Del prossimo film della saga di James Bond si sa che verrà interpretato nuovamente da Daniel Craig , che dovrebbe intitolarsi "The Property of a Lady" e che uscirà nelle sale nel 2011. Oltre alla scelta dell'attore protagonista, punto di forza dei film sull' agente segreto al servizio di Sua Maestà , sono sempre state le canzoni che hanno caratterizzato la colonna sonora. Basti pensare a "Goldfinger" e "Diamonds Are Forever", portate al successo dalla grande Shirley Bassey , così come "We Have All the Time in the World" cantata da Louis Armstrong. O [...]

I'm in my Politics class about the Middle East and North Africa, so I decided to put up the next batch. -J Toys (Felguk Remix) by Perplex , Golden Bannana Winner, that should be enough for you to know I've been listening to this track on repeat. Think About The Way by Phatzoo Has a really funny part (acting as a buildup), I'm pretty sure I chuckle every time. But it drops into a cool electro beat. Run Away (Klaas Remix 2009) by [...]
