I didn't really want to attempt a list of my favourite albums of the decade - the list for this year alone was more work than I needed. Instead, I decided to hit some of the ways this decade dealt with music - how technology has changed the musical landscape further, what globalized capitalism has done to the music industry, and what media convergence did to help out. Then as a second part, I thought I should add some of my musings on the decade as far as my own musical development goes - after all, I became an adult [...]
Jonny Cola & The A Grades Genre: Pop / Glam / Indie From: London, Zone 2, United Kingdom In the history of British indie music of the past 25 years the names of Blur , Oasis , Radiohead , The Libertines and The Smiths will be writ large. The influence of these five bands hover over the British indie scene like a London smog. [...]
Μου αρέσουν πολύ τα video με μοναχικές νοικοκυρές. Εκτός από την Via Tania παλιότερα, βρήκα και το σημερινό. Cilihili το soloproject της Cecilia Nordlund από τη Σουηδία Κάποιος πολιτικός φωστήρας -της Δεξιάς νομίζω- είχε προτείνει κάποτε στη Βουλή μισθό στη νοικοκυρά. Δεν ξέρω τι απέγινε ως σχέδιο, πάντως πολύς κόσμος ασχολείται με την θλιβερή ύπαρξη της νοικοκυράς και μιλάει για λογαριασμό της. Ίσως γιατί προϋποθέτει ότι η ίδια δεν έχει φωνή, βούληση [...]
I read this good article on Truthdig.com about the West's indifference to the Palestinian cause. It struck a chord. The death toll now over 600 and the wounded are over 3000. It's one thing to strike because you are an occupied territory without freedoms and have dire standards of living, it's another to struck to showcase your muscle-power. Both crimes, but they are not equal.
Ryan(StopMe): Here's a new compilation I made based solely on the theme of spoken word music. I call it ' The Art Of The Spoken Word ' and it actually features some of my all-time favourite tracks. Like Luxembourg's 'Making Progress', The White Stripes' 'Hand Springs' (Possibly my number one favourite track!), Ironweed's 'Down To My Grave (Audio Suspects Remix)' and Dexys Midnight Runners' 'Reminisce (Part Two)'. The full tracklisting is as follows (Including links): 1. MC Honky - 3 Turntables & 2 Microphones / 2. [...]
Luxembourg was an English indie band that lasted from 2001 to early this year, and I wish I had been aware of them before their split. They had the melodrama and vocal warble of Roxy Music paired with witty lyrics worthy of Jarvis Cocker, but after only officially releasing one album and before the second album was completely finished, they disbanded. However, lead singer David Shah went on to create a solo project called The Melting Ice Caps, an equally offbeat, but achingly genuine affair with an operatic, literate flair akin to The Divine Comedy. Thus far, The Melting Ice [...]

Well don't fret the Devil's back, for a couple of days at least, and you can expect a bumper crop of bands, reviews and news starting with... The New Royal Family Genre: Pop /Punk [...]
Luxembourg Bu Sefer Barnett İle Hala bilmiyorsanız ve sizin için anlatmam gerekirse; Suede'in kıvraklığına, the Smiths'in içe dönüklüğüne, Pulp'ın ironisine sahip bir grup Luxembourg . 2006 yılında yayınladıkları harika albümün ardından dağılmışlardı ne yazık ki, 2001 yılında kurulmuşlardı ya; daha fazla eserle ayrılsalardı diye hayıflanmıştı dinleyenleri. Yeniden birleşmişler, yeni üyeleriyle, yeni single çıkartacaklarmış. Yeni üye, yani yeni baterist ünlü Suede sapığı/ Love and Poison isimli Suede kitabının yazarı, dağılmış the Boyfriends grubunun kurucusu David Barnett [...]
An old favorite of mine, I always believed that it would only be a matter of time before Luxembourg would be pushed into the spotlight. I discovered Luxembourg out of pure coincidence about three years ago, randomly browsing MySpace music pages before the service had even an ounce of popularity. After hearing about fifty or so bands who couldn't carry a melody if their life depended on it, I stumbled on the young British five-piece from London. Proudly defining themselves as "pop noir", Luxembourg immediately reminded me of various other catchy art-rock bands who were blatantly British, most [...]
