There are two Santogolds, you know. Or there were - there was Santogold, who you've probably read about. And Santo Gold, Santo Rigatuso, who was less successful but had been using the name for longer. Santo Gold was sore about his name being used, sort of, by someone else, and had issued legal and musical challenges to the space-less Santogold. With me so far? Well, now, Santogold has backed down, and has re-christened herself Santigold. Which is, frankly, a much worse name; it's a bit like she asked a five year-old what she should [...]
Three Of The Same (old post but it came up again recently) There's trouble brewing in the world of musical band names. Two (3) groups - almost the same name, in general pretty similar sound. Telepathe (pronounced "TEL-EP-ATH-EE") is a...
Multiple Personalities Looks like Lupe Fiasco has caught a case of the hip-hop name changing game. Well as we'd say, "the more names the merrier."
Once every couple of month I stop by Bobby Baby's page to see if she's uploaded anything new. She's moving in a new-ish direction right now on the folk-esque tip, but her '05-'07 work is where it's at. Bobby Baby - Bobby (Ruperts High Voltage Disco Remix) and here's a track off the must buy singles compilation from The Names. Amazon has it here . Names - Life By The Sea
The Decemberists are putting the finishing touches on their forthcoming album, ' Hazards Of Love '. The album is slated for release later this year or early next year. In the meantime the band are set to kick-off a short fall tour on October 30 in Georgetown, TX. The jaunt will include dates in New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Seattle. Decemberists Tour dates: 10-30 [...]
Cerys Matthews is being credited - in part - for a resurgence in more traditional names for children in Wales. This is apparently a trend away from 'celebrity' names, although quite how naming your kid off the woman on I'm A Celebrity fits with that isn't explained.
It's a harsh world. As if knifings, territorial wars, Piers Morgan and disease aren't bad enough, Snow Patrol are now having the name of their new album revealed against their wills. Lost In The Showbiz publishes a letter from their PR team - or, rather, a statement from Gary: "Hello everyone Well, in this world of instant coffee, news, messaging and everything else is was bound to happen. In an interview with the Belfast Telegraph we let slip the working title of the album then said not to print it until we had finalised it with [...]
Last night at about 7.30pm the roads came to a standstill in the centre of Ibiza, Spain but not because of the usual high volume of August tourist traffic. It was the 400 or so protesters sitting in the middle of Vara de Rey street in Ibiza Town that caused the tail back. "Libertad! Libertad! Libertad!" they [...]

Gabbi started his DJ career in 1995 in Portugal, bagging himself his first residency in 1996 in one of the first Techno clubs 'X-tema' in north Portugal. In the same year Gabbi managed to play some of the largest Portuguese clubs at the time ('Rocks', 'Enseada') as well as doing a radio show on a [...]
Efdemin and Rndm bring the funk as Pigon on this week's RA podcast. If the RA podcast were a sitcom, this one would be a "very special episode." In our very first repeat performance, we've got Phillip Sollmann, AKA Efdemin, returning to the controls as one-half of Pigon. For those unfamiliar with Sollmann's collaborative project with [...]
DMX has never really been out of trouble since they started turning up dog corpses at his house, so let's say he's added another garnish of trouble to an already groaning trouble platter. He's been accused of getting hospital treatment under a false name - not his ridiculous stage name, but a third name - Troy Jones - rather than his real name - Earl Simmons. Given that he's well-known, and can't bend over to pick up the newspaper with the local prosecutor launching a probe, how did he think that would be a good idea?
Constellations. Plural. • A professor has penned a detailed article on the topics of aliens and time travel, and I guess the fact that he is a currently-employed professor lends some credence to the fact that he's talking about the existence of extra terrestrials and the possibility of time travel . I think it's fascinating that France opened up their UFO sightings vault, and that the government said 58% of the sightings could not be explained. Fat dudes wearing pointy ears and speed suits while living in their parents' basements are probably really excited about [...]
Audiversity's weekly column, slightly modified, on random music in a predetermined number of words between 1 & 150. This week's randomly generated number: 69. MA: Plucked from the very first entry of the Ethiopiques series (they are cruising somewhere around 23 these days), "Wètètié Maré" and its mellow-soul vibe sounds as if it slinked out of a late night recording session at Stax studios in the early 60s. Actually recorded by Muluqèn Mèllèssè a decade later, it is the [...]

On the heels of two prominent posts celebrating the armadillos in our trousers set, we've got to maintain the balance by getting very pretentious, very quickly. Luckily, one of the most famously obtuse and hard to find releases of all time, the formerly cassette only 1980 compilation From Brussels With Love , has been recently reissued and delivered to my hot little hands. This tape was the first proper release of the esteemed Belgian label, Le Disques du Crepuscule, which was founded by journalist Michel Duval and Joy Division homewrecker Annik Honore. The pair's partnership [...]
Today was Gardening Day, a holiday specific to our little house up on the hillside. Every spring, right around tax refund time, Maura starts flipping though gardening magazines and catalogs, plotting out what each of the backyard flowerbeds will hold, and reciting lists of things she'd "really love to plant this year" to no one in particular. Once we've sorted how much of the tax refund check can be reasonably used as mad money, we take a day off of work, and I have the privilege of escorting her to a local nursery where she picks out what [...]
