Cognitive Dissonance Comes in Threes, Part Three artist unknown Every evening I tell myself I will go to sleep at a decent hour; every night I let myself down. When it's coming up on 5am everything slides together into great watercolors left out to dry on a vertical drafting table. The lines bleed into one another, they [...]
Il y a quelques semaines de cela, j'avais commencé à rédiger un billet vantant les mérites de l'album de reprises de Matthew Sweet & Susanna Hoffs, Under The Covers, parce que j'ai toujours rêvé d'aller faire un tour sous la couette avec l'interprète de "Manic Monday". Mes doigts tremblaient sur le clavier tout en exprimant l'incroyable sensualité qui se dégage de la voix de tête des Bangles et j'étais déjà acquis à ce disque avant même de l'écouter. Ou plutôt c'est ce que je pensais. Je ne m'attendais pas à tomber (...)
(Ian MacCulloch, 6/8/05, by dopamine ) An unfortunate lack of inspiration this evening. I must be pining for Let's Kiss & Make Up. So my eyes rove and happen upon one of those old-fashioned plastic discs that seem so arcane and weird nowadays when surrounded by virtual music and the like. Charity shops are great, especially when they sell you Echo & The Bunnymen LP's. I've been listening to the reissued Icicle Works album recently, and they're of the same ilk as the Bunnymen - scouse neo-psychedelia with a leaning towards the hugely [...]
Los Angeles, CA I first discovered Grant-Lee Phillips back in ’94 through his band Grant Lee Buffalo . Twelve years later he's a solo artist whose material I can still enjoy, which doesn’t seem to be all that common these days. His latest album is entitled nineteeneighties and is a collection of covers of some of his favorite 80s music. I recommend this one if you like things like Elliott Smith . "Love My Way" [...]
Don't get your information wrong . The new Grant Lee Phillips cover-album is great. Top eighties-music stripped for ugly sound and all the good songs magically transformed to beautiful alt. country. I love it... Grant Lee Phillips - Love My Way Grant Lee Phillips - Wave of Mutilation Grant Lee Phillips - Boys Don't Cry
A few weeks ago I went to see She Wants Revenge. It was a decent show but a bit stale because all the songs came from the same album. There was no variation. I turned to my friend, Heather, and said, "These guys need to do a cover." The very next song was a cover of Depeche Mode's "Stripped." A great cover, by the way, that escalated the concert from entertaining to one of the best I've been to in years. Seriously, a song they didn't even write stole the show. Does that [...]
N os anos 90, no auge da fúria 'Grunge' , o músico americano 'Grant-Lee Philips' liderava uma banda que remava contra a onda, 'Grant Lee Buffalo' que em 93 lançava um dos discos mais bonitos da década: 'Fuzzy' . Com o fim do grupo em 99, 'Grant' parte para uma carreir a solo que conta com três aclamados álbuns, 'Ladies' Love Oracle', 'Mobilize' e 'Vir ginia Creeper' (fora algumas trilhas para filmes independentes). Agora 'Grant' [...]
Vuonna 2000 soolouran aloittanut singer-songwriter Grant-Lee Phillips on julkaissut neljännen sooloalbuminsa. nineteeneighties -levyä varten Phillips levytti omien kappaleidensa sijaan musiikkia, joka on häntä vuosien varrella inspiroinut. Levyn nimen mukaisesti materiaali on kerätty kultaiselta 80-luvulta. Phillipsin käsissä kappaleet ovat saaneet vähäeleisen ja riisutun käsittelyn. Miehen omien sanojen mukaan: " It's my personal mix tape, just as it has reeled around in my head for decades. The more I got inside of these songs, with not much more than a guitar or a piano, their personality came through [...]
Let's get one thing straight. Travis and Parachutes -era Coldplay didn't invent balladic mope-rock. Radiohead really didn't either, and while the Sensitive Britpopper explosion of the early 2000s had its roots directly in The Bends and OK Computer , a lot's being left out of the equation: namely, Mobilize by Grant-Lee Phillips. After shelving the band Grant-Lee Buffalo, 2001's Mobilize was Phillip's second LP under his own name. It's also near-perfect, enveloped in woozy, dream-like production and carried by his yearning tenor vocals, but grounded by heavy electronic percussion, acoustic [...]
Play it: Gilmore Girls - Season 1 Download: Sonic Youth "What a Waste" Last night was the sixth season finale for The Gilmore Girls , and they ended on a high note for creator Amy Sherman-Palladino , who (with her executive producer husband Daniel Palladino,) is saying goodbye to the show . While I can't say I was a fan, their attention to music on the show [...]
