Patsy Kensit rose to fame thanks to her Bardot-ish looks and movies like Absolute Beginners and Lethal Weapon 2. She sang with the band Eighth Wonder , started by her brother Jamie. They released to albums and a set of remixes, but none of those cd's included the French version of hitsingle I'm Not Scared . The song was written and produced by The Pet Shop Boys (Gainsbourg-fans, they did their own version of Je t'aime...).The English version is very catchy, while J'ai pas peur (b-side to the vinyl-single of I'm Not Scared) is a [...]

============================== =============== Just joining us? I'm counting down 101 of my all-time favourite covers before packing this blog away in the attic. Read my countdown preamble here . ============================== =============== U2 + Frankie Valli 65. rx - Sunday Bloody Sunday [originally by U2] Whether it's George Bush's My Way , Tony Blair's Should I Stay or Should I Go , or more recently Obama's Taxman , New York-based DJ rx has made a name for himself (er, anonymously) with his [...]
Regardless of age, Saturday nights spent at home are lonely. Whether it was a rational decision, a situation beyond your control or you simply have no friends - it's never an ideal situation. And no, the completion of uni work will be no consolation because the occurrence of such an event is totally, completely, infinitely mythical. The following have been keeping me company tonight. Not brand new but I don't think it's all too old. Jean Jacques Smoothie made noise in the UK in '01 when he released the song 2 People - 9 years later 19 year [...]
Oh. My. God. I don't know what to make of this. The two dudes from Champagne Riot dress like Chester French (who are in my opinion, god awful) but sing the most emo, sorry scratch that, MELODRAMATIC songs ever. It's Pet Shop Boys minus the ecstacy. It is, quite, literally, depressing. It's break up songs with lovely synth arrangements. Occassionally, like in the instance of the song Ingrid Bergman - ridiculously camp. Before I start to write some slash fic about these two Scandinavians, I just have to point out that they've [...]

Taken from their third album 'But You've Always Been The Caretaker', Brooklyn's own The Silent League release self–produced 'Here's A Star'. A soothing instrumental and angelic-like song that, if you didn't know otherwise, you would think was sung by a 70's super group. Read more..

La scrisse Hans Christian Andersen nel lontanissimo 1870, ora ci pensano i Pet Shop Boys a far rivivere la forza dell'immaginazione di una storia come "The Most Incredible Thing", misurandosi con un contesto completamente inedito per loro. Insieme al coreografo Javier de Frutos infatti, il duo realizzerà la colonna sonora del balletto ispirato al lavoro di Andersen, che andrà in scena a partire dalla prossima primavera. Ci sentiamo molto stimolati ed eccitati nel far parte di questo progetto. In passato abbiamo scritto musica per ballare sulle piste dei club, quindi realizzare musica per il [...]
This wasn't necessarily a dry week in the news department. Scroll down and you'll find that there's clearly plenty to report. There's new material from old favorites as well as hot-shot groups, and a number of stories developed interestingly (for better or worse). Then again, no major events marked the last few days. There was no Coachella or Bonnaroo. There were no sudden gains or losses in the industry. There was no drama. Of course, this will change very soon once the fifth installment of the Pitchfork Music Festival goes down in Chicago's Union Park next week. But until the hipsters (and [...]

My best blog buddies-from Hard Candy Music to Sheena Beaston to The Chemistry is Dead have already spouted on about the singer for months. I just happen to be coming to the party fashionably late. What else is new? This is Florrie . You may not recognize her, but if you're a MuuMuse reader, you've no doubt already heard her in action. As the 21-year-old house drummer for production team Xenomania , Florrie's had the honor of performing in tracks for likes of the Pet Shop Boys [...]
In a bleary-eyed effluvium of swirling dust kicked up off downtrodden tracks, with phone batteries falling by the wayside and warm ring pulls popped left, right and centre, Wayne Coyne-approved raucousness in the shambolic shape of Cymbals Eat Guitars is a rudimentarily rude awakening, particularly for those sheltering in the makeshift shade of the John Peel Stage. The State Island quartet enliven debut LP Why There Are Mountains to devastatingly sense-ravaging effect, as murky psych guitar sounds wrestle with Joseph D'Agostino's vocals so staked with pain they're almost vampiric, And The Hazy Sea coming across like a wilting [...]

Kjeli B Persson While it's factually correct for Sambassadeur to have named their latest album European , it's also a bit redundant. For from the moment album opener "Stranded"'s power ballad piano intro segues into the sprightly orchestrally-inclined power pop verse, there's no questioning what side of the Atlantic this record was crafted on. Or even which country. There is something about Sambassadeur that is so very Swedish, beyond the obvious reference point of singer Anna Persson's accent and precise, ever-so-slightly forlorn delivery. There's the way [...]
Es difícil llegar de Glastonbury Festival (es mi segunda vez) y no caer rápidamente en cursilerías. Porque así es como llaman algunos a esas verdades que cuesta confesar por pudor. Ayer en la noche terminó la cuadragésima edición del festival musical de este género, más antiguo y vigente del mundo. Y no lo digo yo. Fue el mismísimo Wayne Coyne (vocalista de los Flaming Lips) quien en una de sus locuciones antes de alguno de sus himnos, dijo que los festivales musicales contemporáneos eran, de una u otra manera, un copia feliz o no, de lo [...]
