Sleeper - Statuesque (Big Mouth)
We did do a YouTube selection for Louise Wener ages ago, but that turns out to have been one link, to a video which has since been removed. And, since we fought passionately on the side of Sleeper in the 'it's not proper guitar music if you quite fancy the person singing' wars, it seems only right we should give the band a proper celebration. There was always a slight disdain for the band; Louise was too opinionated; too pretty; the band were too poppy. All the things that, say, Suede were praised were seen as weak points [...]

Modernaire & the Culture of Ownership

I got an email a couple of days ago from Ruth. You may not think you know who Ruth is, but I bet you do really: she is in two of my favourite recent discoveries, The Moulettes and Modernaire. In fact, the only reason I know about Modernaire in the first place is [...]

London, Brighton, Rome, Paris

London, Brighton, Rome, Paris I'm leaving for Brighton this Saturday (via London), so this may very well be my last post until I return in June. I know I just started updating again, but seeing as this is my very first trip out of the States... I just honestly won't have enough time to keep up with WNR while traveling. There is good news though. While I'm out exploring the places mentioned in the title of this post, past WNR contributor Paul the Anglophile will back on-board and (hopefully) keeping this place spiffy. But until Paul gets some [...]

And it's the end of everything that you've been told about decency, honesty...

And it's the end of everything that you've been told about decency, honesty... Alright, alright, alright... Well I hope you all enjoyed the series on A Northern Soul. Every time I do a series like that or "Fantastic 45s" et. al. I always get really excited about B-sides. I've known I've gone on at length about the art of great B-sides here before, how they're these exquisite gems that feel like personal gifts from the artists to their truest fans that would only shell out for a song they already have just to get the song or two or three they couldn't get elsewhere.

Britpop pt. 1

Britpop pt. 1 In the early 90s I fell in love with Britpop, in fact I was obsessed with most British things. I'd go to the bookstore and read NME and Melody Maker, and even though the issues were a couple weeks old already I'd devour every word. I had English pen pals sending me mix tapes constantly introducing me to new acts I could only read about. Britpop emerged from the UK alternative and independent music scene of the 90s as a reaction against grunge and other genres and was influenced by the British music [...]

Sleeper

Sleeper Vuelvo a retroceder en el tiempo para encontrarme con otra de las bandas que ha sido realmente importante para mi. Mediaban los años 90 cuando sleeper conseguía abrirse un hueco entre mis favoritos gracias en buena parte a una de las canciones que sigo considerando como una de las fundamentales de mi discografía, statuesque, un tema con el que revivo una época realmente feliz, en la que todo era diversión y la máxima preocupación era saber a que hora empezaba la fiesta, y ni veces que pudo llegar a sonar este single en los previos, cuando el líquido elemento empezaba [...]

Mixtape

Mixtape Whenever I put together a mixtape these days I am probably violating the fundamentals behind what a real mixtape is. The mixtapes I create are just, more or less, a hodgepodge of tracks in no real order. Although, I do put together theme based mixtapes which is closer to the real thing. According to the Wiki resource - "A mixtape is a home-made compilation of songs (typically copyrighted music taken from other sources) recorded in a specific order, traditionally onto a compact audio cassette. The songs can be sequential, but a true, seamless [...]
