Si a ustedes les encanto el album debut de Veronica Falls estoy seguro que entonces amaran por completo cada uno de los 12 tracks que puso uno de sus integrantes en este mix que decidieron regalar para todos sus fans como una manera de agradecimiento por todo el apoyo que les han venido dando desde hace un par de años (supongo). Anyways, este mix tiene cosas bastante chidas y obviamente son bandas que han influido bastante en todo su sonido como Young Michelins, The Modern Lovers, Moondogs, The Lemonheads, Roky Erickson hasta Dee Dee Ramone, Television Personalities y [...]

I know I've written about UK act Marion before, but the news that they, like all other Britpop contemporaries, have decided to reform and potentially cash in on an aging fan base is still an exciting one. According to reliable music publication NME , Jaime Harding, Phil Cunningham, Anthony Grantham and Julian Phillips are reforming and will soon be playing shows. They are also joined by Jack Mitchell of Haven, a band that had about two good songs. While Marion never quite reached the levels of success of many other Britpop bands, they [...]

This music blog market is funny. One day, you're sitting in your room, noodling on guitar and recording yourself playing little melodies through a few choice effect pedals. The next, your music is being big-upped all over the internet and you're suddenly in a nationally-touring band. That's what happened to Steve Marion of Delicate Steve. In conversation, Marion is a quiet, thoughtful guy who set out several years ago just to be a part of a really good band in high school. Now, with a widely acclaimed debut album and his songs appearing on [...]
Today's soul ain't got the same soul. In fact, I'll go out on a limb and say most recent popular soul music is just plain crap. What passes for soul today is technique. Soul music's original inner city sound of the black American ghetto is now measured in the number of octaves the singer can sing and the note for note interpretation of good chart - all of it fabricated by a packager and [...]

Let's quickly sketch the situation: the interview was to take place at 5PM but I decided to give them a (very badly informed) guided tour through Ghent first, then they had to soundcheck, take their stuff to the hotel, go and eat and play a show of course! So Veronica Falls are Roxanne, James, Patrick and Marion and they are all super lovely. They played a really tight set and for once, every face in the audience at Café Video seemed to have turned their head to the stage. High five! Eventually the interview took place at about [...]
.....then sleep is all you'll ever do. I wrote about Marion a little over a year ago when I was reminiscing about lost bands of the Britpop-era. Most of you seemed to also have fond memories....but not my old amigo Ctel from Acid Ted . So apologies to him for returning to the band, and in particular one song which came at me over the i-pod a few days back and made me go...wow, that [...]
Marions are a definite sleeper act. Like labelmates The Chrysler , this is elegant pop music of a more dreamy variety. No need to beat you over the head with insistent hooks, rather they let their music slip in under the door and tiptoe around the room. Album opener "Wonder lady" drifts with the ease of a lullaby, but also lilts like a sea shanty. A sound that's easy to like, but it may take a few listens before opinions move upwards from merely "nice." Follow their example, take your time.

I höstas spelade Marions in nio stycken låtar för att ta sig igenom den välkänt deppiga svenska vintern. Hur texten i första singeln från det kommande albumet ska fungera som något lyckopiller har jag inte någon som helst aning om, men den varsamt fina popmusik de bjuder på kan utan problem få tankarna på något annat än det hemska vintervädret. Albumet Origin of Birds släpps på Flora & Fauna i april. Marions - Another Hour
I have finally surfed around enough to find a way to play mp3s without the bulky player. Thanks to Blimpy @ The 'Spill . After all, less is more. And it's free. Can't beat that. I was asked today if I'd ever heard of the band Marion . I have to admit, I didn't...till now, that is. I'm liking what I hear so far. Disclaimer: It was the 90's and I was still head first into hip-hop. Violent Men by Marion What Are We Waiting For [...]
My friend Andrew won tickets to this show from a call-in contest Campbell Steele Gallery had in their regular e-mail blast of upcoming events. The last time I had been to Campbell Steele was maybe back in 2003 or 2004 for a special Liars Holographic Theatre show where they featured original songs from the players along with some of the regular skits. It was a lot of fun, as many of the Liars shows are and I had been meaning to get back for another show so I was happy for the opportunity. [...]
Is there a period of your life you could say was your favourite for music? A moment in time you could pinpoint as the pinnacle of your music collection? I'm not entirely sure I could. Not honestly anyway. To paraphrase John Peel , the best year for music was this year and the next best year, will be next year. I'm not saying there aren't periods in my life that were great for music. There are. Loads of them. And that's the point. To pick one would mean ignoring the rest. No period defines me [...]
Marion, Ohio Jumpin' Gene Simmons - Haunted House The Five Jones Boys - Mr. Ghost Goes To Town Vincent Price - How To See Ghosts Or Surely Bring Them To You John Buzon Trio - Mr. Ghost Goes To Town The Five Jones Boys version is a scratchy old doo wop tune; the Buzon Trio's is a bossa nova instrumental. It is also an earworm.
Toronto - Welcome to MP3UK, a new series on the Panic Manual which will focus on bands I have discovered thru the now defunct MP3UK group on Efnet that I was a part of back in the late 90s. GEEK ALERT!. Anyways, that group was instrumental in forming the music taste that I have today and so I think it is time to start writing about some of the bands that we all listened to back in the day. You might know Marion as the Miami Heat power forward with an ugly jump shot and [...]
Back in the mid 90s, it seems that every A&R man in the country was hell-bent on finding the next Blur or Oasis, and just about every guitar-orientated band was offered some sort of record deal. There are dozens of bands from the Britpop-era who, having shone very brightly at first with the inevitable two-page colour spread in the NME and/or Melody Maker and/or Select and/or Vox, would crack the
Some things stick in my mind. The NME 's review of the debut Marion album for example. I don't remember the whole thing obviously. And while I can't remember it word for word, the final line always stuck in my mind. It read something along the lines of, this album won't mean much to a lot of people but to a few it will mean everything. I'm not aware of how well it sold but speaking as one of the few, I can say that line was spot on. It's title, 'This [...]
Though the British Invasion of the 1960s has been well documented, the wave of U.K. bands that followed in the wake of '80s post-punk hasn't - until now. Rhino 's 4-CD set The Brit Box: UK Indie, Shoegaze, and Brit-Pop Gems Of The Last Millenium is the first collection anywhere to chart the rise of cool Britannia. Due October 2, The Brit Box gathers key recordings from 78 U.K. performers spanning the last 15 years of the 20th century. While many of these artists enjoyed superstar status in England, with just a handful of exceptions [...]
