With so few decent music programmes left on tv, you have to stick by the old favourites. And thankfully, Later With Jools Holland has returned to top form. The latest series has been choc full of great acts and only a spattering of tosh. Not that the greasy troll presenter has improved. His interviews are still utterly pointless. His introductions still border on the banal. And his jokes are still pathetic. But luckily this is forgivable because of the bands picked and the music played. So far this series, each week's line up has [...]
...'Nick Cave' tem um novo cd e um novo Projeto, 'Grinderman' , contando com três companheiros de 'Bad Seeds' (sem o 'Blixa' ) mas com uma sonoridade diferente, algo lembrando o tempo em que ele lançava discos com o nome de 'Birthday Party' , ou seja, pesado, sujo, cru, direto... Talvez pelo fato de pela primeira vez 'Nick Cave' estar assumindo mais a guitarra e deixando o piano de lado. Os músicos farão alguns shows com o Projeto, mas já estão trabalhando no novo álbum do 'Bad [...]
For no apparent reason, other than its probably a little cheaper, the recipe for Mars bars has been changed to include animal products. Other big brands from the same company -including Snickers, Galaxy, Twix, Bounty, Milky Way, Maltesers and Minstrels - are also affected. From this month, chocolate manufacturer Masterfoods has started using rennet - an enzyme taken from the stomachs of newborn calves - to make whey for its products. Any bar with a 'best before' date after October 1st this year is now no longer classed as vegetarian. So well done Masterfoods killing [...]
After a weekend fact-finding mission in the dirty South, Ian Cohen has returned. Though he was unable to discover whether or not it really is going down in the trap, he was able to discover that Youn g Joc really really sucks. Guitar Center isn't a place I go very often, but when I do, I expect certain things out of them. For example, you better have Dream Theater playing on the TV. The Northridge store was happy to oblige…goddamn, how many strings does that guy [...]
Brighton, England Nick Cave fans, rejoice - his new garage band project, Grinderman! "Electric Alice" Grinderman on MySpace
Saturday started with more bluesy Aussie rock in the form of Joel Silbersher & The Spot Of Bother , The Spot Of Bother presumably being the two members of The Drones that Joel shared a stage with. Apparently Joel is some kind of post-punk legend in Oz and his set was refreshingly varied and a good way to start the day. Disappointingly Magnolia Electric Co. played pretty much the same set on the main stage that they had played on the Centre Stage the day before. The closed atmosphere [...]
I may be very much in love with Mrs. Toad, but if the opportunity to get a quick divorce were to present itself I may consider it, if just so I could run away in the dead of night with this album. The problem is, it's so primal it would probably make me its bitch [...]
Zeit für eine kleine Konzertvorschau für die Weltstadt mit Herz. Der Rest-April hat einige Perlen im Portfolio. (more...)
The Earaches photo from band's website Every Monday-Friday, we deliver a different song as part our Song of the Day podcast subscription. The podcast features exclusive in-studio performances, unreleased songs, and recordings from independent musicians that KEXP DJs think you should hear. Today's featured selection is from the 2006 album Time On Fire by The Earaches : The Earaches - Not the Kind of [...]
The opening cut on Grinderman's self-titled release, "Get It On," is a fierce representation of what you can expect from Nick Cave in this new slimmed down model of The Bad Seeds. Consider it their devolution - taking the music away from grand arrangements, back to its purest, most primal form with four men in a band plugging in and rocking out. There's one shard of guitar, in "Get It On," before Cave spits out like a madman: "I've got to get up to get down and start all over again/Head on down [...]
Ich schriebs drüben beim Radio grad - SPIN.com knallt seit Tagen immer mal wieder einen Song von Nick Caves Grinderman unters Volk. Und auch wenn ich eigentlich davon ausgehen müsste, dass mittlerweile die Leser hier stolze Besitzer des Albums sein dürften, verlink ich mal für alle die MP3, die so überhaupt keine Ahnung haben, wie sich die Reinkarnation der Birthday Party anhört. Hier die Songs: Grinderman - "No Pussy Blues" DOWNLOAD MP3 Grinderman - "Get It On" DOWNLOAD MP3 [...]
Nachdem ja selbst unser Torsch vor Kurzem nur ungläubig schaute, wer sich da hinter dem Bandnamen Grinderman versteckt, gibts jetzt sogar die erste Singleauskopplung der Band um Nick Cave kostenfrei und völlig legal zum Download bei SPIN.com. Aber nicht nur das, seit 3 Tagen ist dann auch noch ein weiterer Song downloadbar. Und wer sich dann das Album nicht kauft, der frisst auch kleine Rotzgothen. Hier die Direktlinks: Grinderman - "No Pussy Blues" DOWNLOAD MP3 [...]
Lots of great releases this week as a lot of these are some of my favorites of the year so far. A few that I can definitely recommend starts with The Rosebud's third album Night of The Furies , which is simply a great pop record from top to bottom. In fact, I was actually interviewed today on Blog Fresh Radio and this was the album I talked about for a couple of minutes. I'll let you know when that [...]
It's another great week for new music, with new releases from Bright Eyes ( see previous post ,) Blonde Redhead , Laura Veirs , The Rosebuds and the exciting new group from Nick Cave and his Bad Seed bretheren called Grinderman . Playlist: New Releases 04.10.07 ------------------------------ ---------------- Album: Grinderman - Grinderman "Foul-mouthed, noisy, hairy, and damn well old enough to [...]
This isn't necessarily the best album of the week, but it certainly is the most intriguing... Depending how you look at it, Nick Cave has either completely snapped (what's up the stache???) or he's taken a refreshing break from the macabre to rock your ass. If you haven't heard about it yet, Grinderman is a new band project lead by Cave featuring many of his Bad Seed cohorts that doesn't sound anything like Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds. Instead of the usual morose ballads you've come to [...]
As mentioned earlier, I was pretty ecstatic when "Get It On" and "No Pussy Blues" surfaced on the Internets earlier in the year. It was as if Nick Cave hopped in a time machine and set the gears for 1982. Super raunchy. Shortly afterwards I received an advance of the LP [...]
My mind is all of a muddle at the moment. And it's not really in a concentrating on things at the moment. So tonight's post is going to be brief and to the point. Here are some songs that have been on constant rotation recently round these here parts. First up we have Grinderman with a b-side from the recent 'No Pussy Blues' single. Now I love the Grinderman album and this is a great b-side but lets be honest, this track could oh so easily have been released under the banner [...]
Spring is finally on the verge of ... springing here in Colorado. There are new layers of green outside my front door everytime I look, and I think my tulips (which I didn't plant myself, but remain an annual treat from the previous green-thumbed owner) are poised to bloom any day. There's also a gorgeous bush covered in breathtaking yellow flowers right outside my kitchen window, so I don't even mind doing the dishes lately. Hooray for Spring, I've been color-starved and sunshine-starved, even though I try to make the best of it. Side note: there is a [...]
Any band that boasts in their press release that they are foul-mouthed, noisy, hairy, and damn well old enough to know better, makes my ears perk up. After hearing a few tracks off the new Nick Cave project Grinderman, I...
MP3: Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds - She's Leaving You MP3: Grinderman - No Pussy Blues NOTE: Today's blog comes from the always killer Matt Giordano. Fuck yeah. My contribution to the team this is week is a double-shot of Mr. Nick Cave in celebration of his new Grinderman album being released in North America at the beginning of April. The first track is a more recent Bad Seeds B-Side ( specifically from the "Nature [...]
