Cuando apenas han empezado a ponerse a la venta los abonos para el próximo verano, la organización del FIB anuncia tres grupos confirmados para el festival. Se trata de Paul Weller , Franz Ferdinand y Kings Of Leon. El primero me aburre con su onda actual, y de los otros no tengo mucho que decir salvo que no me apasionan. Aún así hay que reconocer los esfuerzos del festival por ofrecer los éxitos del pop rock alternativo. Sin ir más lejos el último trabajo de Kings Of Leon está en la lista de [...]

Andiamo a scandagliare il sondaggio dei nostri Soundsblog Awards 2008 relativo alla categoria "Miglior Artista Straniero". Come per tutte le sezioni (che trovate raccolte a questo link ), abbiamo valutato, ragionato, votato quegli artisti che reputiamo (e voi lettori con noi) tra i più significativi dell'anno. Non poteva mancare la tanto discussa nonché amata Amy Winehouse , e tantomeno le nuove stelle internazionali su cui Soundsblog aveva puntato in tempi non sospetti Adele e Duffy . Così come ci sono piaciuti i popolarissimi Kanye West e Beyoncé , [...]
The Whigs are a scorching three-piece formed at the University of Georgia. Their album Mission Control possesses an ominous sound and a sinister purpose, with all the right punk and post-punk touchstones represented: Husker Du, Gang of Four, Replacements, Nirvana. Turn it up. The Whigs, "I Got Ideas" Paul Weller is himself a walking rock and roll touchstone, thirty-plus years into a stellar career. His 2008 release, 22 Dreams , is a meandering, pastoral song-suite that shows off his broad range and a strong sense [...]
Kings of Leon add dates to their UK tour, Adele on Sarah Palin, Lily Allen on X-Factor and Paul Weller smoking in theatres. ITN - Wed 12 Nov - music news on MUZU .
Hey, don't think that Paul Weller can't still stick it to the man, right: he's gotten The Cliffs Pavilion in Southend landed with a sort-of serious warning after lighting up on stage (not often 'Weller', 'light' and 'on-stage' appear together, is it?). The council are livid. Well, not exactly livid: "We think the law was breached so we have issued a warning," Steve Ramm, of Southend Borough Council, said. "We considered the matter but under the terms of our enforcement policy, we have issued the warning to Southend Theatres Limited at this [...]
"Anne Clark is playing here tonight - and you're not Anne Clark"! Being refused entry to a show you're actually headlining must be an embarrassing experience and one of the many music biz divas would no doubt throw a massive J Lo-style strop yet Anne Clark takes this kind of non-recognition in her stride. If you were to pass her in the street you'd be forgiven for not recognising her as one of electronic music's long-term contributors; she's rather small with mussed up hair and a quiet, unassuming personality. Clark herself would agree that [...]
Paul Weller gave The Ordinary Boys a small boost early on in what I shan't call "their career" lest people think me sarcastic. Weller told people he loved the band. Now, though, Weller is withdrawing his support . Why he's even bothering to mention this in 2008 is puzzling - it's a little bit like saying you no longer endorse John Kerry for president, isn't it? What's even more bemusing is his reasoning: "What happened to them, man? I thought he was a credible character, serious about what he was doing," Weller told [...]
Well, look at that, it's already everybody's favorite time of the month... time for the Friday Five. 'Round this blog's parts, there's never been a shortage of love for the "High Priest of New Orleans Music," Mr. Allen Toussaint. In addition to granting Ain't Superstitious, But... an exclusive interview, stuff that Toussaint has wrote, produced, performed or had even the smallest hand in has found it's way to this blog's space. And as there's enough of such material in the music world to go around the world a few times, I don't plan on stopping that [...]
Chinatown : Jake Gittes: I just want to know what you're worth. Over ten million? Noah Cross: Oh my, yes. Jake Gittes: Why are you doing it? How much better can you eat? What can you buy that you can't already afford? Noah Cross: The future, Mr. Gittes, the future. The Graduate : Mr. McGuire: I just want to say one word to you. Just one word - plastics. Benjamin Braddock: Exactly how do you mean? Mr. McGuire: There's a great future in plastics. Think about it. Will you think about it? [...]

Debut release Oct 6th of `Return Of The Iron Monkey` LP/CD/Digital Download all tied in with a ten dates around the UK. OCTOBER 14th Liverpool, Philharmonic [...]
When my wife was doing an exchange in Spain, her Spanish guest brother made her a mix-tape of Paul Weller songs. Paul Weller was recently in town supporting a new record, so I happily tagged along with my wife to the show. The extent of my knowledge on Weller is that after heading up The Jam , he has enjoyed a long solo career. Early in the set, I had a sneaking suspicion that the Gallagher brothers were likely at the show since Oasis were likely [...]

Hey, if it's September, that means equal time for Paul Weller AND From the Jam . The FTJ peeps tell Waved Rumor.... "Rock legends From The Jam are putting the final touches on their soon-to-be-released live DVD. The two-disc set will feature their blow-out performance at London's Kentish Town Forum as well as in-depth interviews with each of the band members. The release date is TBD, but in the meantime here is a fun sneak preview of the band performing their hit song "Down In The Tube Station At Midnight". [...]
Pretty jazzed here -- seeing Paul Weller in Chicago tonight. Last time the Wella fella hit the Windy City was September 2005, so suffice to say, these appearances kind of have added depth when they occur, being that new blue moons happen with more frequency ... I think ... At any rate, it's a good excuse for the Chicago and Midwest Anglophiles and Mods to put on their best clobber and have a good night out. Don't think I'm holding out -- got a very nice Beatlesque military jacket cleaned and ready, some nice new shoes, [...]
A great bunch of pics from Losanjealous shows the Modfather Paul Weller looking in prime form in LA over the weekend. Giant Robot Blogs wrote.... No spoken word or acid folk from the new album. The second show at the Wiltern might be more mellow like that, but last night was all about power. The final three songs of the main set were "Echoes Round The Sun," "Come On, Let's Go," and "The Eton Rifles." You already know what the [...]
