Below you will find mix number five out of five that has come about as a result of EAR FARM's Thanksgiving Mix Contest . Well, there are ten mixes actually, but five that I'm posting on EAR FARM this week. If you're someone who entered the contest and won (and I've been in contact with you about a mix) who hasn't yet received your very own mix, you'll get yours shortly. In fact, it might just show up here on EF in the near future. Patience. [...]

The Mayer Unit isn't much of a Genesis fan - at least, not until the period after that arty shithead Peter Gabriel fucked off and a little Chiswick man with a big, round, silly head stumbled from behind the skins to front the group. Here are the top five Phil Collins songs... scientifically speaking: 1. MP3: Phil Collins - "Roof Is Leaking" (from Face Value , 1981. Also a genuinely beautiful song). 2. MP3: Phil Collins - "In The Air Tonight" (from Face Value , 1981. In [...]

The following is a review by a guest review from Blog Called T. I hope you enjoy the review! It's a quagmire being a Genesis fan. Is it an evolution or devolution for a band to go from 10+ minute progressive rock opuses to 3 minute pop hits? Is the band changing with the times or with the roster Genesis' 2 major front-men - Peter Gabriel and Phil Collins both went on to have lucrative careers in the music industry as solo artists; both solo careers let you [...]
Someone commenting on my last post labeled my as a misogynist, which is something I don't take lightly so I feel that I must defend myself. Misogyny is typically defined as a hatred towards women because they are women. I don't hate women. Sure, sometimes they confuse the hell out of me , but I definitely don't hate them. I also don't believe that calling for corophagia-related death of Fergie is a misogynist statement at all. Sure, it may be in poor taste and more than a little gross but being in good taste is [...]

It seems so, all facts lead to it, although a few months back Robert Plant denied any such rumors, in his characteristic fashion, saying "If there was one, then there wouldn't be enough doctors to support it!". What facts, do you say? Well for starters at the beginning of the week English ticket adverisers put ads out offering tickets for a Led show at the O2 Arena , London. News has it founding members Jimmy Page, Robert Plant and John Paul Jones together with late drummer John Bonham's son Jason on drums are set [...]

Art Daily has all the dirt on this bizarre story: *This fall the Dallas Museum of Art will premiere the final installment of British artist Phil Collins's completed three-part video project "the world won't listen." Filmed in Colombia, Turkey, and Indonesia, the trilogy features fans of the influential British indie-rock band The Smiths singing karaoke tracks from their 1987 hit album "The World Won't Listen." The Dallas exhibition, which will also include letters that Morrissey, the band's iconic lead singer, wrote as a teenager to London music weeklies, marks the first-ever public presentation of the completed trilogy.

I grew up listening to classic rock music, either through one of my parents, especially my Dad, or through my sister, who spent a very annoying time obsessed with Pink Floyd . As a result, I still like classic rock quite a bit and there are a few songs that I swear I knew the lyrics to at birth. There are songs that I don't know who sings them or what they are called, but when they come on the radio, I know every word and every chord change. Starting May 17 through May 23, [...]

American Psycho , starring Christian Bale as a yuppy working on Wall Street in 1987 who spends much of his free time murdering people, is not what you would call a movie for everyone. Nor is the Bret Easton Ellis book it was based upon. I haven't gotten around to reading the book, so I can't comment on how the film compared. I did like the film, and especially Bale's performance as the psychotic Patrick Bateman. I first saw it with a former professor, and good friend, when it first came out and I [...]
We suspect that Peter Gabriel might have just earned his place in heaven - no sooner had Genesis announced their intention to get back together, than someone realised that they might need to invite Pete along. You know, for old time sake. It could have been terrible - would Phil have been forced to spend the evening at the back of the stage, pounding away, while Gabriel attempted to deliver some of the more cheesey, upbeat late-period Genesis? Can you imagine Peter Gabriel trying to make his way through Illegal Alien? Instead, Gabriel has decided to [...]
While living in Dakar I never quite figured out was why I had so many conversations like this : "What's your favourite kind of music?" "Rap, RnB." "Oh, yeah. Cool. What groups are you into?" "You know, Jay-Z, Daara J, 50 Cent, Pharrell and Phil Collins." "Did you just say Phil Collins?" "Yeah, I like to chill-out to Phil Collins, [...]
We blame Danny Baker for this. Last week, he was defending Phil Collins on Radio London; now, property developing firm Genesis are about to launch a reunion tour of their sideline music interest. The Sunday Mirror reports a source: Last night a source revealed: "Genesis were huge in Britain and America and there remains a huge amount of affection for them. And the tour is likely to make them millions." We're glad for the sort of insight that only an insider could give you - we'd never have [...]

01. "I Missed Again" There's no reason not to love this slice of blue-eyed soul. And the video? Come on. Collinz playing all the instruments, as a statement of this being his solo effort. The white (every time I try to type white, I first type shite, some would say this is fruedian within a Phil Collins post) backdrop? Come on! 02. "Abacab" Killer keyboard riff and an [...]

This is a free crash course in music education from the last 40 years, courtesy of Gregg Gillis, aka Girl Talk . It goes by really, really fast. My blogger pal Bruce (of Some Velvet Blog hotness fame) came up with an idea to do a massive joint post of all the songs from the ADD-inducing, mile-a-minute mashup disc Night Ripper ( previous post ), which uses over a hundred original songs to make the 42 minutes of party goodness on this album. We both [...]
