Having previously teamed with Isobel Campbell and Greg Dulli on separate projects, grunge survivor, Mark Lanegan is no stranger to the collaborative album. His latest effort, however, an album recorded with English bluesman, Duke Garwood , may have you heading for google as you hit play. Garwood's name doesn't come with much recognition on this side of the Atlantic. Fret not. Lanegan is said to be a huge fan of Garwood's and "Pentecostal," the first cut released from Black Pudding ( May 14th on Ipecac ) finds Lanegan back on the well-tread road of American roots music.

THE Bearded Theory music festival in Derbyshire has put together a bill bristling with talent for 2013. A spokesman said: "Main Stage Additions include Stiff Little Fingers, New Model Army, The Farm, Ned's Atomic Dustbin, Ruts DC and current Mercury Music Prize Nominees, The Hummingbirds. "Other notable additions to the festival's line up include Magical Sounds Dance Stage Headliners The Egg, A Guy Called Gerald and Subgiant." And fresh from unveiling a truckful of new acts to brush shoulders with the likes of headliners Asian Dub Foundation, The Levellers and Reverend And The Makers, Bearded Theory has [...]
NAD, relanzaron el power pop y sentaron bases para bandas futuras.
One of the guilty pleasures of music journalism is the opportunity to coin silly new genre names (like "moustache funk" — you heard it here first.) But while we're all for such antics — and we get thoroughly tired of jaded old cynics looking at every new genre and wailing about how it's all shit/it was better in their day/etc — we did bow our heads in wonder at the Guardian ’s recent A-Z of new genres — there's a heap of good music on there, but we have to admit that it took music's taxonomic obsession [...]
Friday Five : \'frī-(,)dā,-dē 'fīv\ : On the sixth day of every week, I hit the shuffle button on my iTunes, then share the first five tracks and thought for each track. Sometimes there is a playlist involved, occasionally we'll have a guest, but most of the time it's just me. The rest is up to you, our friends and readers! Fire up your media player of choice and share the first five random track of your shuffle in the comments. The Five: " Snaggletooth " by Motörhead (from [...]

As far back as I can remember, skate videos have been one of the prime sources for musical exploration among our generation. Many still sit around talking about how badass it was to hear certain songs paired up with certain skater’s parts. Throughout the years, hundreds of teams have compiled footage and edited to amazing and at times even inspirational soundtracks. What they inspired us to do is not the point, but rather what the music inspired the skaters in the videos to do. Most of the time, skaters were known to handpick their own songs, and the ones they [...]
this is a digital version of a compilation i put together for my own enjoyment in november 1991 of some of my favourite tunes at the time. this of course was in the days before itunes and therefore the days before the shuffle button and the playlist, when you'd either have to listen to an entire album straight through or waste a lot of battery time fast forwarding on your walkman to your favourites. or you just made your own playlist on a trusty c90 instead. mostly contemporary and basically fairly predictable for a [...]

As I was combing through the archives looking for a long forgotten band to feature, I came across my two Ned's Atomic Dustbin CDs. If you've never heard of Ned's Atomic Dustbin you are not alone. They were popular in the UK mostly between 1990 and 1993. Over here in the good ol' US of A they were played on Alternative Rock stations like WFNX Lynn-Boston here in the Northeast. It's almost like they were somewhat of a buzz band. They never seemed to actually establish their own sound and identity, but when I think back on that precious era of [...]
Having been off the school year calendar for some time, Sept 1 isn't too meaningful a date for me. But thinking back to when entering the month felt like getting ready for a plane to take off, several songs come to mind. This one reminds me of high school freshman year, specifically my after-school job illegally operating the cardboard baling machine at the local supermarket. Those were the days. I remember at the time not being able to decide whether the band name or album title was sillier. Still can't. And to [...]
During the week, having missed the last train, i had the unfortunate displeasure of having to get a number 40 bus home. I mean, don't get me wrong i don't mind getting the bus, in fact i'd happily take the bus home from work over the train sometimes but i've never been one for enjoying late night bus journeys. They're usually inhabited and frequented by people dressed like this.. They have [...]
Did you know that at one point in recent history there was a whole subgenre of English bands that looked and sounded like Jesus Jones and EMF but weren't nearly as popular? Like floppy hair and double bass and everything. Oh really, you knew that did you. Liar. Well did you know that said subgenre was known as Baggy? Oh you knew that too! Well great. Did you know that we used to draw Ned's Atomic Dustbin's logo—a biohazard sign inside a, um, snot blob—all over our notebooks. Ha! You didn't DID YOU.

Formed in the West Midlands, UK in 1989, alt-dance rockers Ned's Atomic Dustbin were part o f the English subculture, G rebo, a mix of post punk and garage rock. Jesus Jones and EMF were more of a watered-down and poppy v ersion of the sound that p receded the Amercian grunge sce [...]
Not just because of the unfortunate strangehold that reality TV has taken on my life, but also because alterna-grunge popsters Ned's Atomic Dustbin had two bass players, and that's sheer craziness!

Non-linear Sod it, the time has come. Blow off the cobwebs, crank up the loudspeaker, cos an announcement is in order here at pogo a go-go: FiL is hereby abandoning linear time. What? You thought I was packing it in? Not a chance, Dearest Friend. Yes, yes, I know postings have been rather thin around here as of late, but it's a trickle, not a drought. I still have stories to tell, it's just that I can't [...]
![No. 27: Artists From The '90s Line Up To Cash In Now, Honey [80 '08 (And Heartbreak)]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/1423412_lg.jpg)
Perhaps realizing that breaking new artists in the music-stuffed, nostalgia-mired world of now was impossible, many a band that made their mark on the world back in the 1990s got back on their collective horses and rode the wave of "remember when?" this year, from Stone Temple Pilots to My Bloody Valentine to Ben Folds Five to even Ned's Atomic Dustbin . As you might expect, results were mixed overall, although they were probably better than those that would be realized by any new endeavors by the parties involved. [...]
Free School Genre: Experimental / Electro / Shoegaze From: Birmingham, United Kingdom Despite being the UKs second city Birmingham, commonly named as the birthplace of heavy metal, the most regressive form of music known to man, and home to the short lived grebo scene that spawned the likes of Neds Atomic Dustbin , The Wonder Stuff and Pop [...]
I've been enjoying Fi Glover's I Am An Oil Tanker: Travels With My Radio recently, a book which was originally published in 2001 but which I've only just got round to reading (I'm nothing if not tardy). In it, the erstwhile Five Live presenter and current host of Radio 4's Saturday Live explains her love of all things radio while visiting various stations around the world and chatting to the people they employ. Reading it has really rekindled my love of radio too (and Radio 2), which is [...]
