Hitch was born in the south England countryside in London. For a time being, she was resentful towards her parents for giving her the birth name, Neon, wanting to change her name to a more conventional name, such as Melanie. Her father was a lighting technician. Her mother bought a caravan to live in when their house burned down. They then began street performing, making and selling jewelry and clothing around Europe. As a result, she never attended school as they did not stay in one location for prolonged periods of time. By age four, she was traveling [...]
It's officially been a couple of months since my last post-the longest drought in TDoL history. "What gives?" so say you three avid readers. Well, among the many things keeping me away from this blog (including a hack), I got hitched, and kickass, rock 'n' roll weddings on California's Central Coast don't plan themselves. Needless to say the ceremony went off without a hitch. Life is back to normal. And I'm feeling rejuvenated. Expect good things from here on out. So yes, there is a Mrs. TDoL ... although I don't advise ever calling her that unless you want [...]
The prolific Twitter handle @heems sometimes doubles as a notification system for when the film Hitch is on TBS, which it turns out is very often. Now that love for discussing the Will Smith film and its special way of understanding the female species has inspired a full-length feature of Heems's own, a very funny (and catchy, thanks to a whimsical beat from longtime DR producer Mike Finito) track called "WOMYN aka HITCH." It is possibly a demo, though it sounds pretty and nice, just like women. Grab the MP3. "These chicks is womyn" is [...]

Robbie Williams rejoining Take That aside, there's some other new at that camp. Mark Owen, the original heartthrob, has finally tied the knot with his long-term girlfriend and best friend Emma Ferguson. "The bride wore a long, white, beaded, V-neck 1920s gown and embroidered vintage veil. Her bridesmaids were also in white 1920s-style beaded dresses. Fellow band mates Gary, Howard and Jason flew to Scotland on a 17 seater Lear Jet to attend the festivities. Robbie was said to have been arriving by private jet. Chris Martin and Gwyneth Paltrow were also said to be guests of the couple. [...]
Belgian rockers Hitch are only recently making some waves in the U.S., but the band already have five albums under their belt, making them anything but new to the more hardcore side of the indie scene. Their hard-hitting brand of rock brings to mind The Paper Chase (it was actually mixed by John Congleton), who's record I just recently reviewed, but I also hear bits of The Jesus & Mary Chain and I'm sure those of you more familiar with the genre could probably fill in plenty of your own RIYL's. The band's new album, Clair. Obscur , is [...]
Hitch's new soon-to-be release LP, Clair.Obscur, seems to have the makings of being one of the best releases of the year. Musically planted somewhere between mid-90's Jesus Lizard to newer Drive Like Jehu, the band seems to have reinvented themselves with a more ominous-yet-familiar razor sharp sound. Making music together for over a decade, the three-member(yup, that's all) band doesn't seem too worried about taking their music in a different direction as they have a sound and style all their own to fall back on if needed. They are one of those bands that may never get all the recognition [...]
Disclaimer 1: If you haven't seen 7 Pounds and don't want to know anything about the movie, then skip this post till you see it. These aren't spoilers; just a few plot points that you may or may not want to know ahead of time. Disclaimer 2: What we do here at TSS is intensely analyze different pieces of art. A lot of thought goes into each post. So when a post get critical of someone or something gets labeled as simply "hate," it's quite dismissive of the thought and care [...]
I may be behind on this, but as I was cruising around on the good old internet I happened to find out that the Belgium based Hitch are set to release a new album on the 26th of January come next year. This is definitely good news. Over here in the US I imagine it would be surprising to some to know that Hitch have been around for quite a few years now, as their upcoming album will mark their 5th full-length album. Being a huge sucker for anything 90's post-hardcore [...]
