Bounty Island, Fiji It's an abbreviated post as we wrap up Thanksgiving weekend. Too much to do, and not enough time to blog! Such is life. Some songs and some videos for today: For Your Listening Pleasure The first track off Sharon Van Etten's new album, Tramp , premiered this week on Pitchfork! Serpents has an all star cast of musicians with Aaron and Bryce Dessner of the National, The Walkmen's Matt Barrick, Wye Oak's Jenn Wasner, and Doveman's Thomas Bartlett contributing. Sharon Von Etten - [...]
(désolé à l'avance pour ce post qui est écrit sous l'emprise du stress, du manque de sommeil et de temps) Les Paris Angels étaient une caricature de groupe baggy, une sorte de compilation de tous les clichés réels ou imaginés de groupe estampillé madchester...Tellement typique de cette époque (le début des 90's), qu'ils en ont eu la trajectoire idéale: un premier single qui contiendra leur meilleur titre (et de loin), deux ou trois singles, un album passé inaperçu, « SunDew » (Virgin Records 1991), puis plus rien... Ben alors, pourquoi en parler? [...]
Whilst Paris Angels were indie dance, rather than a proper dance act, they did release a live track called "Techno". Paris Angels were Rikki Turner, Jayne Gill, Steven Tajti, Scott Carey, Mark Adj, Simon Worrall, Paul Wagstaff. They were only around from 1990-1991, releasing a small number of singles and the on album. I have to admit that when I bought the "Perfume" single I was incredibly sniffy about a track called "Techno" that was anything but. But having mellowed with the passage of time (me not the track), [...]

Here are ten songs today from the legendary Festive Fifty compiled by John Peel. As yesterday's entry focused on the eighties, it seemed only fair to do the nineties today. Some of the records were obscure, but other artists went on to do massively well. Much like the eighties, in fact. The Disposable Heroes Of Hiphoprisy -'Television: The Drug Of The Nation.' mp3 (1992 Festive Fifty No.38) Dawn Of the Replicants -'Science Fiction Freak.' mp3 (1999 Festive Fifty No.29) The Orb -'The Box.' mp 3 (1996 [...]
Here's another immense piece of vinyl of which I would have known nothing if it wasn't for Jacques The Kipper. So many things were going on in my life at the end of the 80s and beginning of the 90s that I wasn't able to keep up with much new music. Jacques was aware of my fondness for what became known as Madchester, and periodically would throw in my direction a rectangular box containing a
wzzzzzt }crackle{ weee eeeeeee eeeezssage interrupts, repeat, message interrupts: I had to look up the lyrics for Paris Angels ' Perfume (All On You) , and be arsed if I could find 'em anywhere. So I had to transcribe them myself. Which meant I had to sit through one of the most glorious British singles of the early 90's that there could have been a couple of times. I'd forgotten how breathtakingly good this is. Probably because much everything else they did doesn't [...]
