Ever since seeing him play CMJ in the basement of Fontana 's, I've been listening to a lot of London's Jack Penate . His debut album, Matinee [ U.S. preorder ] is a mix of alt/rock, indie pop and rockabilly --- sort of a male version of a guitar playing Kate Nash . Album highlights: Torn On the Platform mp3 [...]
Jack Peñate decided to do a cover of Feist's popular '1234'. It was on the Live Lounge Tour and it was broadcast from his mom's house. Here's the song. Jack Peñate - 1234 (Feist Cover) [zshare]
Jack Peñate has been blowing up in the U.K., with an NME cover, numerous music rag appearances, and what rock is really about - hordes of screaming girls! Armed with sexy lively dance grooves, a smooth voice, and songs that will draw anyone in who has a fancy for good music. Influenced by everyone from Prince, Todd Rundgren, JJ Cale and Daryl Hall and John Oates, Peñate says “I like stuff that’s soulful, happy and intelligent – and I don’t like music ironically. I don’t understand that ‘guilty pleasures’ thing. Why should it be guilty?” Oh yeah, Jack Peñate's favorite [...]

I run the risk of dating myself, my better half specifically, when I report that upon hearing "Second, Minute Or Hour" she promptly compared Peñate to The Housemartins. An apt comparison. It's the frantic, breathless delivery, the quick, jangly guitars, they heavy accent, and the playful lyrics, although Peñate lacks the acerbic subtext of many Housemartins' songs, a fact Peñate is more than comfortable with. In his bio he says, "I like stuff that's soulful, happy and intelligent—and I don't like music ironically." I should mention Ted Leo in an effort to bring a more recent artist to bear [...]

And you thought the last break was a long one - and no I don't have a good excuse like being out of the country this time, just more of a very hectic last month with coming back to Edinburgh. That doesn't mean I have kept up with the new stuff over that time though. By now everyone should know about Radiohead's return with the possibility of fans paying whatever they think an album is worth. Amazon has also launched an mp3 store to compete with iTunes and it is all DRM free, so [...]
There’s a bunch of stuff I’ve been meaning to post for a long time now but for some reason or other haven’t been able to write about. I thought now would be a good time to just post em all. Nathan Lawr And The Minotaurs - I’ve been trying to write a post about his new album A Sea Of Tiny Lights for almost a month now but the words, they don't come to me. I like this whole album, it has horns and strings and some clever lyrics. It really [...]

Since Tamboosh is with us in the land of no internet this week, we had to go old-school and buy a copy of Music Week (the UK version of Billboard). We thought it would be an easy way to check out this week's UK charts and share our witty comments with you, gentle readers. We were sadly mistaken. Is there anyone out there that actually understands these charts? Please explain the difference between the Official UK Singles Chart, the Hit 40 UK, the Commercial Pop Top 30, and the Cool Cuts Chart. Doesn't it sound [...]
I Was A Cub Scout - Pink Squares (Lull Mix Radio Edit) [Info*] I expected something akin to their Bloc Party remix . When those dissonant and slightly nauseating keys came in (0:33), I thought my worst fears were confirmed. Happily, however, those notes fade out around the one-minute mark. After that, the song changes. A subtle build-up (1:19) followed by a short-lived drop-off in tension (1:53), that develops, relentlessly, into an exciting, continuous, intense, stress-inducing build-up. This reaches its peak at the four-minute mark with the entrance of the vocal line, "my [...]

Here's another one for you, ten more from artists across the pond. If you like what you hear, please follow the links to support these artists. *For some odd reason the play-tagger is acting up in this entry, playing the songs at a much faster pace than it should be. I've had to disable it for now, and I'll try to get to the bottom of the problem ... The first track I chose is from the Bees , (known as [...]
