" If You Don´t Love Me " debería ser mediocre. No mala (aunque siempre es una posibilidad), pero sí un pálido reflejo de las mejores composiciones de su autor. A fin de cuentas, es lo que es: la típica canción inédita que el artista mete como "gancho" para aumentar las ventas del correspondiente recopilatorio, que muy probablemente quedará un poco deslucida al lado de sus grandes éxitos, pero al menos ayudará a que también la tropa de fieles -que ya tenía toda su discografía en casa- vuelva a pasar por caja. Sonará en las radios, anunciando la inminente publicación (¿Has [...]

Touching upon hallucinogenic and esoteric ideas, they aim to find the place where their psyches overlap.

Outlands are an interesting pair. Their experimental self-titled debut sounds danceable at times, sexy at others, and always dark and moody. Surprisingly, they don't hail from where you'd think they might. They are, in fact, based in Blacksburg, Virginia; miles away from any major city. So where do they get their inspiration? What drives them to create such diverse and moving music? I caught up with them last week to find out... Violent Success: What are your musical backgrounds and how did you start playing together?

"Johnny Johnny" doubles as "Goodbye Lucille #13 on one of the eighties' finest records, Steve McQueen . http://www.prefabsprout.net/
With Easter approaching, here's a third mix of songs that relate in some way or another to the Christian faith, following the Saved! 1 and Saved! 2 mixes. The first drew from verious ages and genres of music, the second comprised soul musicians doing God music. This lot comes from rock, folk, country and indie backgrounds. Some artists featured here are devout believers, some are sceptics, some are people one wouldn't necessarily have down as being even remotely religious (Cave, Waits). Most are original songs, a few are covers (for example, Wilco covers Woody [...]
Yukarıda nefis albüm kapağı Prefab Sprou t grubunun 80'li yılların en güzel pop çalışmalarından biri olan Steve McQueen aka Two Wheels Good albümüne ait. 1982 yılında kurulan ekip şu üyelerden oluşmuştur. Paddy McAloon (gitar, vokal), Martin McAloon (bas), Wendy Smith (vokal, gitar) ve Neil Conti . Özellikle besteci Paddy McAloon'un sözlerindeki hikayeler, grubun parlak bir besteciliğine işaret ediyordu. Hatta onlar için pop müziğin Bob Dylan'ı yakıştırması bile yapılmıştı. Özellikle 1985 yılında yayınlanan Steve McQueen albümü eleştirmenlerin gönlünü fazlasıyla hoş etmişti. [...]
"Has anyone ever written anything for you?" Stevie Nicks asked on a 1989 B-side. As far as I know, the answer would be no. Who even "writes" anymore? If not face to face, most communication these days is done by tapping a keypad with your fingers. And texts, instant messages and Facebook wall posts will never count. My ex-boyfriend said he bought me a card for my last birthday, and I presume that he wrote something in it, but he forgot it at home when he came [...]
Love is defined differently by others. My idea of love is in a different language than yours... Loving someone literally means loving them in the various and sometimes endless ways they expect to be loved. That in itself requires a detailed understanding of the individual on hand. It means that you have to decipher how that person likes to be loved amongst a long list of other things that must be decoded, otherwise, they won’t be able to appreciate the way you love anyhow. Love is a different language, unique to everyone. How could the world communicate if [...]
Prefab Sprout - Wild Horses I don’t even know where to begin with this English 80s pop band that could pass as a modern day buzz band. I heard this yesterday in a turntable.fm started by Matt from Real Estate & Ducktails . I won’t begin to compare it to the Stone’s song Wild Horses , because nothing does. However, this song grooooooves and it’s something I could definitely get down to. Look at you, unflawed. Now look at me, plain overawed Grace and looks take no credit, for [...]
I listened to the utterly brilliant Steve McQueen . One more album cleared from the list of 1,001 albums you must hear before you die .
Following on from last week's Valentine's special, we now return to our regularly scheduled Ear Worm. Eoghan O'Sullivan Nicolas Jaar - 'Space Is Only Noise If You Can See' While the whole world (or Twitter, anyway) was listening to Radiohead's ... Continue reading
Photo of one of the buildings on the grounds where I work. I'm a huge sucker for Prefab Sprout. While they can be awfully twee and so sacharine your teeth hurt they have also made brilliantly crafted pop music. Their album Two Wheels Good (called Steve McQueen outside of the u.s.) ranks as one of my favorite albums of all time. The song Donna [...]
Thanksgiving was the finest of holidays - feasting, football, feasting, and leftovers for midnight feastings. The calculus of the holiday changed dramatically after leaving for college. There was still the feasting and football, but it was now a complex puzzle of equations to balance feast, football and familial obligations with the chance to hang out with your high school friends (who were also battling the same logistical issues). Coordinating getting together was a series of fits and starts. Half a day or more could be blown trying to track down who was [...]
Boolfight From: Paris, France Aural alchemists Team Ghost have smoothed out the rough edges of Parisian alt rockers Boolfight's 'Multiple Devils' and added a couple of their own. It's a corker of a remix of an already awesome song. It sounds like Air covering a long lost Prefab Sprout track. It starts off simply and then it just builds and builds with layer on layer of sound overwhelming the senses [...]
Prefab Sprout maintain their vice-like grip on my ears. I suspect this will continue as autumn digs in. Overly ornate flourishes aside, Steve McQueen is the jewel, but the debut certainly has its moments. This would be the tune you'd reference if you wanted to explain how a band could make like Steely Dan in the English '80s — counter-intuitive melodic turns that net a nice return on investment and lyrics that look askance on love, longing, and loss. Metaphors aside, I suspect [...]
I'm not sure why I keep falling for songs that pair fancy chord changes and a general feyness. And I wish terms more interesting than "sophisticated pop" came to mind. This stuff totally disarms me, and yet, I find myself humming harmonies through a stone-faced frown, walking down the street, darting past human interruptions. I guess there's some irony in that. Seriously though, go find their Steve McQueen album. It'll make you like 1985 a whole lot more. Prefab Sprout - Appetite And because [...]
