The singer best known for his 1961 number one hit “Mother-in-Law” was a formidable character. He lived a life that was as outsized as his talent and personality. New Orleans writer Ben Sandmel has crafted a compelling biography that tells his story, warts and all. K-Doe’s career peaked when he was 25 years old, and his song became known across the world. He played at the Apollo Theater. He bought Cadillacs. But his fall was as quick as his rise. He wound up living for a time under the Claiborne Bridge in downtown New [...]

Este mês, o Music Alliance Pact traz um tema (e o vídeo), "The Strangest Friend", de uma banda de Coimbra que, apesar de "Drunken Sailors & Happy Pirates" ser já o seu terceiro álbum, é praticamente desconhecida no seu país, Portugal, para além daqueles poucos que seguem e divulgam com interesse e amor a nossa música. No entanto, a sua obra já lhes rendeu glórias em alguma imprensa internacional como, por exemplo, na revista francesa Les Inrockuptibles, o que é, como sabemos, sempre um grande passo para serem conhecidos e divulgados em Portugal. Com a [...]

I was honoured to be asked, and proud to join the MAP ranks. Today's marks my initial contribution, and MAP's debut outing on Quick Before [...]

SINGAPORE : I'm Waking Up To... Shelves - Star Alright The much-anticipated debut album by Shelves was released this month on both vinyl and digital , resurrecting not just the choicest cuts of Britpop and college rock, but the very essence of the 90s Singapore scene. Yet the record sounds anything but dated, with its clever balance of crisp melodies and generous distortion pointing the way forward for indie rock today. That vision [...]

Yet, so much of what shapes popular culture in Singapore today is clearly American - just have a look at what's on local TV and the radio and you'll get the idea. Listening to the new self-titled debut by Singapore band Shelves provides an inkling of that strange paradox, something the band cheekily alludes [...]
