Almost into the top 10. But before that, The Chemical Brothers and Secret Knowledge just miss out. At #12, The Chemical Brothers are another act who had lots of claims for the 50/Fifty. But since there can be only one, this is where the buck stopped. With The Private Pyschadelic Reel from 1997. Now, I know a number of people would have gone for something like Grammy-award winning Block Rocking Beats or Song To The Siren from 1992 (under their original Dust Brothers name), perhaps even suggesting I should have picked a [...]
She came by for advice that we disguised under the pretense of rum and beer. The Old friend, how’ve ya been? kind of dance. We gathered and circled till what we really wanted to say to one another began pumping out in rhythm from the patched hollows of our chests: did we make the right choice, choosing what we did? Then why this pale unhappiness, why are we still thrashing our bodies against the rocks in someone else’s dream? Oh, my friend, I wanted to say, I am unfit to answer even the question of what we shall [...]

I've been listening to music for as long as I can remember. A bit like Frank I was brought up on my parent's record collection and remember the hours spent in my bedroom with my record player and their 45s and LPs, playing song after song, amazed by the similarities or differences. It wasn't long before I discovered the amazing power that music can have on you, particularly when you hear something that sounds so different to everything else. Sometimes you find that single or album that makes you want to rush out and tell every single person [...]
It'll End In Tears, the 1984 masterpiece by original post-punk super group This Mortal Coil stands as the staple of 4AD Records. Founder of 4AD, Ivo Watts-Russell along with John Fryer were the only two consistent members of the group. All other contributers would go on to later record their own records on 4AD under different [...]
"Song To The Siren," written by the iconic American singer-songwriter Tim Buckley and released on his 1970 album Starsailor , does not lack for covers. The mythical sailor's ballad has been paid tribute over the years by the likes of Robert Plant, This Mortal Coil, John Frusciante, Sinead O' Connor, and many more. And yet, I don't believe anyone's ever covered the song on banjo, or with quite the level of intimacy that made the original version so special. Here's where The Wailing Wall comes in, aka NYC multi-instrumentalist [...]

Hace algunas semanas Miguel les daba los primeros detalles de The Empyrean , el disco como solista de John Frusciante que será lanzado el próximo 20 de enero. Pues ahora ya podemos ver la portada de esta producción que la verdad está muy bien hecha. No sé a ustedes pero a mi me recuerda mucho al tipo de portadas que hacen algunos grupos de metal. Además, John también develó, a través de un mensaje en su página oficial , el tracklist de [...]
I have just stumbled across this short film over at YouTube and I simply had to share it. I would recommend watching in full screen mode (click the little square within a square at the bottom right), as it is over 20 minutes long!This is certainly not the usual YouTube 'talking into a webcam' fodder...in fact, both George Clooney and Steven Soderbergh were executive producers. The title refers to a girl, Alice (Selma Blair), who has nothing inside of her. She presents at the doctor's with an... Please visit Ceci N'est Pas un Blog for the full [...]
Here are some of the comments and news I have received over at Myspace the past week: Song To The Siren will release their 3rd EP called A Machine Like Me tomorrow. + These Days Bahnhof has shot a video for the first single Speed from the debut album Reverse . The band has also been so kind to send me a copy of the album, and so [...]

In his Flashback Friday post today , Chris writes about German 80's band Propaganda . It's really difficult to understand that A Secret Wish was released 22 years ago. emodreng & indiepige has posted two of the new tracks by Oliver North Boy Choir . The two dudes running the blog weren't even born when A Secret Wish was released! I'm an old fart - it's as simple as that! [...]
