No way baby lets go Two more 'B' sides from the 1990's today. Seen lots of posting about The Wonderstuff recently. Two good albums and then mostly shite, but when they were good they were very good. This one is from the 1994 re-release of 'Unbearable': The Wonderstuff - Hit by a Car (mp3) Primal Scream are one of those bands whom you either love or hate. There seems to be no middle ground. I fall very definitely on the love [...]
I can't stand the way Ben Gibbard sings. Srsly. The oversaturated cuteness just bothers my brain, man, and I can't have it. Do I now lose any smidgen of music credibility I had? Well fuck then. You can keep it if I have to like Death Cab for Cutie. Sorry to every girl I'm friends with...you have a right to know. That has nothing to do with the two artists I've posted about today, but I feel better. Hug it out? Ahh. Now on with the tunes. (more...)
Besides fresh beef and fresher ladies, there's nothing that gets the 'Stamps boys all hot under the collar like new Hot Chip musics. Well, Wondertwin powers activiate! Form of: Booji Boy High, a side project named after a fictional character created by the previous generation's musical nerd champions, Devo. The name works on so many levels. Moving past the obvious physical resemblance between the character in question and soulful Hot Chip front man Alexis Taylor, there's that delightfully open-ended "Booji" staring you right in the face...
C86 was a mix cassette given out by the NME in, what else, 1986. It came to define the indie pop scene in Britain. Now, Bob Stanley of St. Etienne has compiled the best moments of that cassette and other songs into a collection called "CD86". Among the highlights are Primal Scream's "Velocity Girl" (which was the inspiration for The Stone Roses' "Made of Stone") and "Anorak City" by Another Sunny Day. Highly recommended. Listen to "Velocity Girl": [Download Here] [...]
There was a time when it seemed that, such was his determination to embody the rock and roll dream, Bobby Gillespie would end up dying on stage. Now, though, he likes an early night and bit of quiet. Especially if Antiques Roadshow is on the High Definition. Indeed, he's petitioning to have his local pub turn it down , moaning that the Alma pub has been noisy after midnight: "There was a live percussionist playing along with the records, the sound was of a very high frequency which reverberated into my bedroom and [...]
This week's edition of Throwback Thursday turns the clock back a decade to 1997 . Musically, a wierd year. Michael Huthence died; Biggie was shot and killed. Dinosaur, Jr and the Gin Blossoms broke up, but the Shins, Death Cab and Switchfoot all began. Oasis released their third album, a massively huge selling record, and The Monkees reunited for two sold out shows at Wembley Arena in London. U2 popped Pop and Radiohead released the most important album of the last ten years (at least). Spiritualized tripped us out, Portishead rolled the joints [...]

Here are the songs (or maybe that should be 'tracks') then. I've laboured (intermittently) long and hard over these, because it's pretty impossible to choose 20 songs from so many great ones this year. I've restricted myself to tunes that have been given an official UK release inthis year. The thing is, these probably aren't even my best tracks of the year, but they have meant something to me over the past 12 months. I'm sure that if you ask me next month, I'll have a slightly different list, but for now, here's my song-record of 2006. [...]

#5 - Primal Scream - Country Girl From: Riot City Blues Label: Sony Released: August 22, 2006 Buy it: Here . What, pray tell, does Primal Scream owe us? For about 20 years now, they've been one of music's most entertaining chameleons - jumping from hard rock to jangly pop to acid psychedelia, retro-fitted Stones rock and then apocalyptic style industrial music. Yet, when Riot City Blues made its debut this year, critics [...]
Strike Or Get Off The Pot

The NME's C86 cassette, capturing Britain's mid-eighties low fi pop scene, is possibly the most famous, non-hip hop mixtape of all time. But, more people these days are likely to have heard of it, than actually have heard it, and piecing together some of the tracks that have fallen into obscurity using a file sharing service is likely to be a tricky and time consuming process. Sanctuary records has done there part to further the fey pop legacy with a new compilation called, fittingly, CD86 . It doesn't replicate the [...]
Muse won the most awards and arguably the most bragging rights at tonight's V Festival Awards , walking away as the voters' choice for Best Headline Act and Best Rock Act. The Kooks took the Best Breakthrough Act prize, while The Streets , Prodigy , and Girls Aloud won the awards for Best Urban Act, Best Dance Act, and Best Pop Act, respectively (although a zany mix-up in which they won each-other's awards might have proved amusing) [...]
Primal Scream, "Country Girl" - Is it even news anymore when music writers (1) start getting promo CDs sent to them by enterprising bands, and (2) discover that even though ninety-nine and nine-tenths of these CDs may be only slightly less interesting than your average WNBA regular-season game, every so often one of them just works? I mean, isn't that pretty much the way modern music consumption works in general - people judging records on the basis of uninformed approximations of their content before actually spending with 'em? Would anybody have ever bought that Antony and the Johnsons monstrosity [...]

Nowadays, we are blasted with TV commercials (that's if you watch TV) and it seems that sometimes there are more commercials than acutal shows. However, it is intriguing to me to see the creativity on some of these commercials and also the music that is played. Well known songs are the main picks but there is an increasing number of commercials that take songs from "indie" artists. For instance, the below track "Japanese Girls" by Robbers On High Street is one I guarantee not many people are aware of who the band is and have no idea who they are [...]
