Erm, really sorry that this is so very, very late, but life rather caught up with me this week. So I never quite managed to find time to get my shit together until this evening, unfortunately. It's surprising how much of my time these weekly podcasts seem to take up - it can be quite hard to find an evening every single week to record these things. What I find amazing is that I don't run out of blather. I don't recall ever saying anything profound or all that intelligent either, so this little collection must represent hours [...]
por Ênio Jr. Seguindo com os mixtapes lembrando da década passada, venho com com esta 2.0(00) (sim, é um trocadilho geek infame). Foi difícil selecionar, mas entre várias dos anos 2000 ficaram estas 14 melodias que me marcaram de alguma maneira, seja pela época e/ou situação que comecei a escutar, seja pela própria música. Alternam-se momentos calmos com outros mais agitados e as obviedades com coisas não tão óbvias assim. [MP3] 2.0(00) Mixtape [...]

Une de mes déceptions de ce début d'année est que le psg n'ait pas enrôlé Sylvain « el magnifico n°23 Wiltord. C'est vrai qu' on n'en avait pas besoin: on est dans le haut du classement, nos résultats sont emballants et un joueur de sa classe aurait pu nous freiner... Nan, mais sérieux... Déjà, comment a-t-on pu laisser un joueur de cette classe au chomedu pendant 6 mois? Hein? Et comment peut-on autant manquer de respect au détonateur de notre titre de champion d'Europe 2000?? Hein? Comment a-t-on pu ainsi le réduire au rang de [...]

Looking at my LastFM statistics , it's a bit of a surprise to see R.E.M. are my fifth most listened to artists. Not because I don't like them, obviously. More that I never realised I'd listened to them quite as much as I clearly have. Most of it I think, is a result of loving 'Accelerate' as much as I did when it came out. I played that record a ridiculous amount on near constant rotation, never quite understanding why it didn't get the same amount of loving from everybody else. [...]

Filed under: Down the Front! Location: 310 Uxbridge Road, London W12 7LJ Website: http://www.bushhallmusic.co.uk / Capacity: 400 Come to see: It's difficult to pin down any 'typical' sort of band to play Bush Hall, one of the most highly-regarded small venues in the capital. Granted, the west London club has long enjoyed a reputation as a hub of folk-tinged fare, with shows from the likes of Sufjan Stevens , Kurt Wagner, [...]

Coldplay , the latest in the long-line of musicians deemed important enough to warrant a guest appearance on 'The Simpsons,' saw their episode of the animated comedy on Jan. 31. Chris Martin and company's episode will be screened on Sky 1 in the UK in May. The episode, entitled 'Million Dollar Maybe,' sees Coldplay performing for Homer and Bart in their own private stadium, after Homer hires the band to play for them after winning the lottery. Homer turns down the chance to play tambourine, while the show is halted so Bart can use the [...]

Filed under: News , R.I.P. During his life and throughout his influential career, Vic Chesnutt always had a number of musician friends in high places -- he was covered by everyone from Madonna to Smashing Pumpkins and he collaborated in the studio with an intimidating list of esteemed artists that's too long to get into here. Most recently, his band -- in the studio and on the road -- included members of Fugazi , Godspeed! You Black Emperor and Silver Mt. Zion [...]

Filed under: News , UK Following last week's Spinner report on what could be the most bizarre charity record ever, former Pogues singer Shane MacGowen has assembled a stellar line-up of alt.rock luminaries and recorded a version of Screamin' Jay Hawkins' 1956 classic 'I Put A Spell on You' to raise money for relief and aid in earthquake-stricken Haiti. MacGowan flew from his home in Dublin to studio in Battersea, South London last Friday (Jan. 29) where he was joined by singer Nick Cave , Primal [...]
Filed under: Exclusive , Grammy Awards , Between the Notes , Canada Some artists, like the Rolling Stones back in 1986, get their Grammy lifetime achievement recognition too early; others come, as with Michael Jackson this year, sadly too late. But 75-year-old Leonard Cohen has, as always, impeccable timing. Cohen's Grammy 2010 Lifetime Achievement Award arrives at the height of the iconic septuagenarian's umpteenth comeback. A wildly acclaimed two-years-and-counting world tour has seen Cohen storm the gates of [...]
