The big news death in April obviously was that of Malcolm McLaren, but more shocking perhaps was the suicide of rock singer-songwriter and Grammy-nominated sound engineer Will Owsley at 44. It also was not a good month for jazz keyboardists and drummers. On a different note, I'd appreciate some feedback as to whether to continue with this series. It takes up a lot of work, but generally there is little comment, and download numbers tend to be modest. * * * [...]
Happy December everybody! While the tenor of our site has been forward looking as of late, today we turn the lens backwards, and take it old school. Nick Heyward was something of a new wave sensation in [...]
Well, I did say that this was going to get interesting, the further along we get. In case, you are just tuning in, this series is taken from Mojo Magazine's Classic Edition - Britpop, featuring sixty Greatest 90's Britpop Albums. This post represents the half-way point in this series. With this post, I have covered thirty two out of the sixty albums. And, I will say that there are some bands/albums on this post that I was not at all familiar with. Namely, The Auteurs , Dodgy , Nick Heyward (solo) and [...]
Taking the memorial John Hughes feature into the soundtrack of Sixteen Candles - the key work, surely? First up, here's Nick Heyward from 2008 doing Whistle Down The Wind: Buy Nick Heyward: Very Best Of... Sixteen Candles DVD [Part of the John Hughes weekend ]
Remember the other day when you grabbed the sleeve of my cream coloured cable knit sweater and insisted that you needed to know everything, EVERYTHING (you were shouting at the time . . . caused quite a scene in the condiments section of the Oak and the Iris) about Nick Heyward and Haircut 100? Well, I had a word and Saltyka has come up trumps. So exhaustive are the trumps (eh?) that there is an A side AND a B side . And there was you thinking that I was going [...]
The editors at JamsBio like to think of ourselves as music fans first, not critics, and that's the sensibility we strive for at JamsBio and that we seek in other sites as well. That's why we're so jazzed about Damn Fine Day , a site that each day profiles a deep album cut that's been overlooked, but deserves a place in everybody's collection. In the name of spreading the gospel about great music, we present "The Daily Deep Cut," where we add our two cents about the songs featured on Damn Fine Day. [...]
Isn't a lavish celebration of the anniversary of a compilation album pushing the idea of 'a very special birthday' a little far, even for ITV? Regardless, they spun the 'useless female presenter' wheel, selected Denise Van Outen, and threw a show to mark the 25th anniversary of the first Now That's What I Call Music compilation. On television. To be fair to ITV, they did at least invite back original artists to do their songs - normally, they'd have got Jamie Cullum and the Sugababes to have a crack at Hey You The Rocksteady Crew. But the format [...]
. The iPod Shuffle function is very useful in bringing to the listener's notice songs that have bypassed them. Of course, there is always the temptation when being confronted with a song one is not in the mood for to skip subsequent tracks, thereby compromising the arbitrary purpose of the random shuffle. And sometimes iPod comes up with a fantastic sequence, as it did this morning, compelling me
With their clean-cut look and frothy pop melodies, Haircut One Hundred became major sensations in the UK when their debut album Pelican West was released in late 1981. The album wouldn't hit the States until the following summer and although they wouldn't create quite the stir they had in England, their lone US Top 40 hit would become one of the more unusual and memorable hits of the early '80s. That track was Love Plus One . Sparkling pristine, the song had a breezy, island feel accentuated by congas and Latin percussion as well as [...]

...disposable but enjoyable. So ends the Allmusic blurb on Nick Heyward's solo work. Former frontman for Haircut 100 cum Brit-rock tag-a-long, Nick Heyward had a fairly productive career with occasional hits ("Whistle Down The Wind", "Love Plus One", "Blue Hat For A Blue Day") sprinkled in between your traditional late-80's anglo-pop songs. But it wasn't until he jumped ship on Haircut 100 and recorded his first solo album that Heyward really created something of a special record. Heyward was never as clever as [...]
Sixteen Candles is another one of those classic 80s movies that practically everyone in my generation has seen a million times and can quote endlessly. It was the film that basically kicked off Molly Ringwald 's career and energized the teen comedy trend. It's possibly my favorite John Hughes film from that era. Even after seeing it so many times, it never gets old. Sixteen Candles tells the story of Samantha, who is celebrating her sixteenth birthday. The problem? Her family has completely forgotten about it, mostly due to [...]
