So Barry-Sean was in his parents attic over Christmas sorting some stuff out and discovered some old mixtapes that we used to listen to a lot - this was one from 1987 that B-S has modernised into a digital playlist on his iTunes. Even though it is nearly 25 years ago - there are some cracking tunes on there from many of the cream of that era's indie-crop, and perhaps some that haven't stood the test of time quite so well ( Fields of the Nephilim , two tracks from the Alarm ...).

Brockie's still on injured reserve, so Coach Neilstein is back for another installment of Necessary Roughness. For my first time ever writing about football I think I did pretty ok last week, eh? It was not a good week for the favorites teams of MetalSucks football columnists. I have it on good word that Brockie [...]

Ne-Yo The NFL honored the victims of the September 11th terror attacks on the 10 anniversary with a moving tribute at the start of the Washington Redskins vs. New York Giants football game today. R&B/pop singer/songwriter Ne-Yo had the privileged of singing the National Anthem while the families of some of the victims held a giant American flag across the field. A hat-less Ne-Yo delivered a solid rendition of the song. He kept his hat close to his heart, presumably in a show of respect. Ne-Yo had the chance to sit back and enjoy the game [...]

The alert reader might have noticed that one William von Saxe-Coburg und Gotha is going to marry his blushing bride Catherine on Friday. Perhaps young William is better known by his family's stage name Windsor, the name of one of the joints his family owns, chosen in order to distance the family from its German provenance during World War I. This blog likes a good wedding, and in the spirit of the nuptial celebration would like to offer Wilhelm and his Frau a few sincerely selected party tunes for the reception, to be played when the wedding band [...]
Maybe the reason Jimmy Clausen went undrafted on day one was not only his lack of sucess in college but his aweful hair. As a Notre Dame hater I could not be happier to see Clausen get bounced to the second round of the draft (so I assume), but this still wasn't the biggest surprise of day one of the NFL draft. -The Old Man click below for full recap The biggest surprise of the first round of the draft has to be the Denver Broncos trading up to take [...]

This Is Seb Clarke Genre: Indie / Punk / Soul From: Stoke-On-Trent, United Kingdom Before the UK music scene was infected by the X Factor virus, before the assembly line was switched to the 'indetikit tousled haired mock indie' setting, before image became more important than substance the British music scene was awash with, often eccentric, outsiders who challenged [...]
Ce matin, j'ai failli exploser mon transistor, quand j'ai entendu ça (intégrale ici , pour les plus téméraires) : " Qu'ils se démènent, (...) qu'ils bougent, qu'ils ne le fassent pas nécessairement uniquement en défilant ou en râlant! (...) Qu'ils deviennent un acteur de la sortie de crise. Et devenir un acteur de la sortie de crise, c'est quand même me semble-t-il se remonter un tout petit peu les manches et se mettre à travailler plutôt à l'unité du pays ". Et puis ça : " [...]
I'm not one to read tea leaves or believe that one seemingly random event dictates the outcome of another seemingly random event. But I'm also a Red Sox fan, which means that for the better part of my life I believed that the Red Sox would never win the World Series because their owner sold Babe Ruth. I couldn't sleep last night, it was like being a kid on Christmas Eve. The past two years has all led up to today and for the first time in my life, I really feel like this election outcome matters. And [...]
Hi Everyone, This week there's been a lot of news: the bailout bill was rejected then signed, Sarah Palin sounded dumb during the Katie Couric interviews, Joe Biden and Sarah Palin debated, OJ Simpson was found guilty and most importantly the Redskins beat the Cowboys and then the Eagles making our record 4-1! Rather than reporting to you on these topics (like I have any sort of authority on these subjects) I thought I would share some more of my favorite songs with you because I know that's ultimately what you come here for. I'll try and relate [...]
Sorry to all you Cowboys fans, but my Skins controlled the entire game yesterday. And we did it without our movie star Jason Taylor. At times I was a little worried, but the team really came through with a huge win. Campbell looked real solid, running game continued to do it's thing, and our receivers are finally starting to look like they can do some damage. And how about Springs and Rodgers' play against TO? Defense played well against another offense juggernaut. I honestly didn't think we had a chance in Big D but the Skins really surprised me. [...]
Pop and politics have a long tradition of mixing, but the relationship is not always a happy one. John Lennon's hymn to hypocrisy stands as a totem for every song with a political or social message that would have been better served by banal lyrics about the whims of love found and lost. Of course, there are songs that did manage to capture the Zeitgeist: Buffalo Springfield's For What It's Worth
Morrissey and the Smiths Originally uploaded by SouthcoastingPlaying live at a 'Save the GLC' festival at County Hall (now the Satchi Galery) on the South Bank in London. This picture was probably taken around 1984 and is a bit of personal folklore. I always thought I had seen the Smiths play live but I couldn't actually remember it. Then the kids came across a box of my old photos at their
