Early on in this clip from The Old Grey Whistle Test, Kevin Coyne admits that he “knicked” his version of “I Want My Crown” off the song’s originator, Big Joe Williams. Coyne’s interpretation is more spritely, melodic, and memorable than the bluesman’s—it’s the work of an art-school lifer caught in a moment of mainstream success. [...]
Will be flying out to visit the fairest city en todo el mundo tomorrow. Hosanna indeed. Back in a week or so. In the meantime, chew on this, amics ... Six ditties about some other big cities.

Time to focus on the job. Monday Music's the weekly post where I temporarily abandon SOIWT's London-only focus... Thick Shakes - Go Back To New York Punks don't often encounter organs (not the religious kind, anyway), but Thick Shakes' rabble-rousing, armpit-dampening throwback meshes the two together in delicious delirium. The aforementioned instrument softens the otherwise 70s garage-rock squawkiness, making the record sound slightly faded and fuzzy. Go Back to New York by Thick Shakes [...]
Welcome to take 45 of Wild Weekend , the last edition of 2010. In store this week amongst others: true American Music courtesy of the Blasters, sweet rockabilly with Johnny & Dorsey Burnette, hot flamenco, and a track from an album Bonnie Prince Billy is extremely fond of: Kevin Coyne & Dagmar Krause´s Babble . Next week will see the glorious For The Sake Of The Song albums of the year extravaganza, so be prepared. In the meantime, just have a wild one. And we´re rolling [...]

You might wonder how come the pancake image appear in the middle of the week. Well, that's for a good reason. I'm taking a week off from writing, as I'm going with Eatliz to Spain, to play in Primavera festival! And because I'm a responsible man and blogger, I couldn't just leave you without your mixtape. So I made you a special two hours mixtape, so you won't feel my absence. Enjoy amigos. STR Mixtape : A Long One, While I\'m Away 1. Kevin [...]
Kevin Coyne - Amsterdam ( buy ) Ready for a song situated in the fair town where I was born? Quirky Englishman Kevin Coyne, blessed with a voice like a razorblade, finds himself down and out in the city of canals and coffee shops. The fair damsels in the red light district won´t give him a friendly smile, it´s miserably hot in the Melkweg club, and here he is riding a bike on the cobblestones, without that prized ticket for a plane home. "Honey, honey, where are you? Just can't take [...]
For The Sake Of The Song will be out of the loop for a short while, as we´re busy moving house. Our new headquarters are only 5 minutes away as the crow flies, but it still means that everything - including my music collection and my trusted iMac - will have to be boxed up for a short while. So bear with me, dear reader. I´ll do my best to be back online asap. In the meantime, here are some songs with a Spanish flavour for you, as I´m glad I [...]
"This is the fourth time I've reviewed this goddam [sic] record. The first three attempts were successfully discarded on completion as I realised I was being unfair to Mr. Coyne. Less unfair each time, it's true; but since he is a man who so obviously lays his integrity on the table, then the least any potential critic can do is to respond in kind. Nevertheless, it is a flummoxing album still, but I now believe that in time everything will fall into place. Coyne's work is not readily approachable, and at the beginning it was only [...]
Sommige muzikanten draaien hun hand er niet voor om zelf het art work van de hoezen te verzorgen: do it yourself. Of dat een goed idee is kun je betwijfelen, maar soms leidt het tot verrassende of op zijn minst markante resultaten. Zo vind ik de Kevin Coyne en Michael Hurley hoezen goed bij de muziek passen, kleurrijk, humoristisch en een tikkeltje anarchistisch en grimmig. Don Van Vliet blijft een unieke muzikant maar als schilder sla ik hem minder hoog aan. Toch heeft hij na zijn muzikale loopbaan meer succes gehad met zijn schilderijen [...]
I guess today is another one of those two-update days. Aren't you readers lucky? Both music related! I guess I'm finally living up to my billing as a music blogger? The thought of it might be sickening, sure, but the reality is that I try to spend as little time writing about music as a music nerd possibly can. I don't want to bore anyone. With that in mind, here's another music related entry. A mix tape! RULES for uninitiated noobs : With 100MB of webspace, I give birth to a weekly Mix Tape to be [...]
Last evening... 8:03pm - Hi. I don't enjoy Yo La Tengo past And Then Nothing Turned Itself Inside Out and Painful , but I'm going to give this a shot because I enjoy listening to WFMU and these annual request-a-thon shows are usually good for a giggle or twelve. Just to give you a sense of setting (I heard in fiction writing class that it's important), I'm sitting in my bedroom across from the mall. The walls are closer to white than blue, and the floor is blue. The roads outside are empty and [...]
Sur l'echelle de la folie, les meilleurs peintres sont soit les déments soit le personnel soignant. Au pinceau, aujourd'hui, non pas Daniel J., mais un être sensible qui a suffisamment travaillé dans un hôpital psy pour ne pas prendre la folie à la légère. Décédé en décembre 2004, Kevin Coyne était un songwriter très singulier, très fin, et dont la folie créatrice était particulièrement
