Der Titel des neuen Albums täuscht! Die Melodien von Headlight sind handzahm und erzeugen eher eine leicht angetrunkene Stimmung beim Hören. Mein Fazit: Die 4 machen Lieder, die durch den Raum mäandern und den Zuhörern die Köpfe verdrehen, weil sie irgendwie immer nach Aztec Camera und Prefab Sprout, aber dann auch wie sie selbst klingen. Und dann passen sie wunderbar zu Sonnenstrahlen im Oktober. [mp3] Headlights / Get going
On this day five years ago, John Peel was getting ready to present another episode of his radio show. Unfortunately, it would be his last as a heart attack would take his life a few weeks later while on a working holiday in Peru. He had been best known as a disc jockey and champion of the musical underdog on BBC radio. His Peel Sessions gave many bands their first chance of airplay and a load of them went on to have successful careers in the music business. Sadly, I never got to hear his shows as it was not [...]
Daar keek ik nou een beetje van op: een nieuw album van Prefab Sprout . Let's Change the World with Music heet de CD. Ik had eerlijk gezegd niet verwacht dat Paddy McAloon (foto) nog met iets nieuws op de proppen zou komen. Hij vecht al jaren tegen een ziekte die zowel zijn gezichtvermogen als zijn gehoor aantast. Het album I Trawl the Megahertz uit 2003 was tot op heden zijn laatste muzikale teken van leven. Maar Let's Change the World with Music blijkt een album te zijn dat McAloon solo opnam in 1993. Het was [...]
Some old, some new and some kinda old/kinda new. Lost : Susanna and the Magical Orchestra Oh Susanna ! Blessed with a powerful voice so understated and so utterly, utterly melancholy. After Nouvelle Vague did their gimmicky samba schtick to Love Will Tear Us Apart, it took these Norwegians to restore the song's profound bleakness [ YouTube ]. That cover joined many other supersad covers on Melody Mountain (their version of Kiss' Crazy Crazy Nights has to heard to be believed). And now they are [...]
My goodness but that Paddy McAloon's looking different these days, eh? I think I can safely say that I would never had recognised him in a hundred years in that photo above, had I not been furnished with the info beforehand. He really reminds me of someone else with that beard, anyway, but I just cannot put my finger on who for the moment. Any suggestions? Edwyn Collins - You've Grown A Beard mp3 By the way, anyone heard the new Prefab Sprout album yet? And if so, is it much cop?
I've had this U’s & I’s and Lullabies mixtape on repeat all day. I'm really impressed. Primary 1 is Joe Flory, a 24-yr olf half-Norweigan signed to Erol Alkan 's Phantasy Sound label. It's all amazing but I have highlighted my favourites. The Aphex Twin/Zombies mix is fucking i n s p i [...]
I don't have anything bad to say about Air France (or Cityjet) . I fly with them twice a week. The service is very good. I can pitch up at 7:15am on Monday morning at City airport and still (just) comfortably get on the 7:30 flight to Dublin. The flights usually aren't packed and they manage to leave the middle row free until it has to be filled so one doesn't generally have to play elbow games with one's neighbour. But every week on Sunday when I check in for my [...]
Mojo Magazine has a new piece on Prefab Sprout's brilliant leader, Paddy McAloon, that is inspiring, frustrating and ultimately a little bit sad. It reminds me that we just cannot let our lives get away from us.

BackTRACKin': Prefab Sprout- "Appetite"
Prefab Sprout- "Appetite" I wasn't up on Prefab Sprout until a couple months ago. I got interested after hearing about Thomas Dolby's involvement in this project. After hearing the album, Steve McQueen, I was thoroughly satisfied. There's a very contemporary feel to the music. It almost sounds as if it could have been made today. Real Breezy. Real Clean. Real Sophisticated. There are a few gems on the album... I'll let you find them if you're so inclined. It's okay to work for it. Work hard. Play hard... [...]
Das verschollene Werk von Prefab Sprout
Überraschung! Paddy McAloon, der Mann hinter der Edelpop-Band Prefab Sprout veröffentlicht nach acht Jahren ein neues Album. Die Songs stammen allerdings von 1992. Ihre grosse Zeit hatten Prefab Sprout in den Achtzigerjahren. Damals arbeiteten sie – ähnlich wie Scritti Politti – an einem Versuch von weissem Soul und veröffentlichten 1985 das Meisterwerk "Steve McQueen", ein Album [...]

Paddy McAloon BBC Radio 2 Radio Interview
Good catch by the good folk over at PrefabSprout.net . A very delf-deprecating Paddy on Radcliffe & Maconie 's BBC Radio 2 show. In other news, Let's Change The World With Music is at no. 15 in the Irish iTunes store and only 41 in the UK. What's does it all mean?
