I have read his 1989 novel And the Ass Saw the Angel and it was quite dark...and very good. Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds play the Kool Haus in Toronto on Oct. 1st. [...]

Nick Cave & Shane MacGowan's What A Wonderful World EP was a cover song maven's delight. First you had both the boys crooning the hell all over the old standard, then you had them covering each other. Shane MacGowan seersly owns "Lucy," though. Once that belltower rings, that song no longer belongs to Nick Cave. Shane MacGowan - Lucy from What A Wonderful World (out of print, but amazon has some used ) Bonus [...]

The blues in Britain has always been derivative. It was appropriated mercilessly in the 60s of course by the likes of the Rolling Stones and Cream, but the innovations of those artists took the music sideways into the kinds of rock stylings that spawned Led Zeppelin and heavy metal. Even the most 'authentic' (whatever that slippery word is supposed to mean) of the British blues artists, such as John Mayall and the Bluesbreakers, although capturing reasonably accurately the sound of indigenous American blues, missed out on the penumbra of the music, the undercurrent of feeling and experience given [...]
"That's a really nice sound", spuse soparla izbind ritmic sfera de apa. Din cand in cand se iveau spre centrul sferei valuri buclucase care intrau rezonanta cu dansul reptilelor, pasarilor, balenelor, maimutelor painjen, sepiilor si moliilor. Se nastea o muzica dincolo de toate regnurile cunoscute. Prin urmare, copiii acelei muzici erau deseori asociati unor fiinte mutante, deseori idolatrizati ca reintoarceri a unor zei cruzi, de care oamenii ar fi vrut sa uite, dar pe care ii pomeneau deseori atunci cand aparea o astfel de fiinta. Buzele oamenilor descriau forme ovale, sprancenele li se arcuiau in timp ce isi tatuau [...]
Tucked into a piece about Bauer in yesterday's MediaGuardian was a passing reference to some sort of "overhaul" planned for Q. Not clear if this is going to involve a sudden change of musical direction, but if it is, it can't come a moment too soon, to judge by the nominations for the Q Music Awards ("sponsored by some sort of drink") : BREAKTHROUGH ARTIST – Duffy Adele Santogold Bon Iver Gabriella Cilmi Much as we like Bon Iver, in what way are they considered to have broken through? Broken through what? [...]

Mercy Arms' self-titled and self-released debut came out 8/16 worldwide. The Sydney, Australia band has a sound that suggests the early days of Creation records – all noisy, fuzzy and highly melodic. On first listen, I felt like I'd discovered a lost Ride album (love for Andy Bell? Anyone…). The record was produced by fellow Australian Tony Cohen; Tony has produced fellow Aussie's The Birthday Party, Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds, and the Dirty Three. Mercy Arms have toured in their native land with The Pixies, The Strokes, Cut Copy, and Editors. [...]

>> Festival Summercase @ Barcelone, Catalogne, Espagne, 18 et 19 juillet 2008 >> Day 1 : We Are Scientists, Ian Brown, Grinderman, Interpol, The Verve, Primal Scream, Edwyn Collins, Blondie... Pour sa troisième édition, le festival Summercase (qui a lieu simultanément à Madrid et Barcelone) offrait une nouvelle fois une très belle affiche à faire pâlir son voisin Benicassim qui était en concurrence le même weekend et dont l'affiche semblait certes plus large mais peut-être bien moins bonne. En trois ans, le festival s'est imposé comme l'un des festivals majeurs d'Espagne, et [...]

The lovechild of Bob Dylan and Kate Bush, raised by Patti Smith on a remote desert farm listening to Tom Waits records on a 2nd hand record player. I guess a large majority of you will be teased by Pete Ashman self-introduction : Bob Dylan, Kate Bush, Patti Smith, Tom Waits...
