Sorry about the lack of a post yesterday. Got caught up in a lot of family issues and had no computer time... Well, here we are at Part III of a VIII part series. And, I will say we are still on some familiar territory regarding the bands highlighted here. This post brings us to twenty four out of sixty albums picked by Mojo Magazine's special Classic edition which features 60 Greatest 90's Britpop albums. The key to that last sentence is albums not bands. Which is why you will see a repeat of some bands [...]

What do THE BLUETONES and PIXIES have in common? Both bands' upcoming visits to Scotland will see them play an entire set made up of an old album, respectively Expecting To Fly (1996) and Doolittle (1989). Delving into the dusty archives of your back catalogue to promote a tour has developed into a common trend, especially for those artists whose heydays are becoming increasingly distant memories. Even a group as revered [...]

I know it, damnit, I said I was gonna change things up around here and I'm off again on another personal type post. Well, I did say - I will change things in the near future. Which, in this case, will be starting next week. I need to get things organized so that I can get some fresh content and I need to do some work over the weekend on the blog template. So, please give me a break here.... A month ago, I went to the Dentist to have my teeth cleaned and examined. The whole thing [...]

Stereophonics Just Enough Education to Perform Release Date: April 17, 2001 A lot of controversy surrounded this album. Stereophonics wanted to title [...]

Earlier today I was going through some notes of mine, looking for something tremendously insightful and witty I presume. Which I could not locate. Instead, I saw the bones of this scenario, which I had forgotten about. Has this ever happened to you... You unexpectedly bump into someone you know. Small talk, long time no see, yeah, too long, etc. Then, they get a phone call, and begrudgingly take it, pointing to the phone the whole time, eyes to heaven, sigh, sigh, as if they are dying to get off the phone to whoever it is. You're standing there, waiting, [...]

Uncover some teasers about their new album by watching the clip below. MP3: Stereophonics - Dakota

Image From Here It really seems to me that the pace of life has gotten out of control these days. Everyone is in a hurry to get something done or to be somewhere fast. Even though I am unemployed right now, I still feel the 'tug' of the maddening, fast pace of life. You see it everywhere; at the store, driving in your car, and even twittering on the internet (I do like to twitter though). Don't get me wrong, sometimes I thrive on this pace. It gets me moving and doing things [...]

Questa volta rimaniamo in Italia e parliamo dei prossimi progetti discografici che i Lost e Giusy Ferreri hanno intenzione di proporre. Per quanto concerne i Lost possiamo dire che l'attesa non sarà così lunga visto che il nuovo album uscirà a fine maggio. Queste le parole del frontman: "Nella stesura del nuovo disco abbiamo cercato di fondere le emozioni suscitate dall'ascolto di band come Coldplay e Stereophonics con la ricercatezza tipica di Kanye West e Timbaland , elementi che si aggiungono ai suoni [...]

Today was the first really sunny day in Germany. It was a wonderful feeling to finally be with my friends on the grass, enjoying some music. So this is a playlist to welcome the sun back into your heart! The Sun Is Shining / The Mighty Boosh Sun It Rises / Fleet Foxes Here Comes the Sun / The Beatles Let's Go Sunning / Jack Shaindlin Lying In The Sun / Stereophonics Put The Sun Back [...]
Oh, how badly your empire has slipped when the Stereophonics make sympathetic noises about your plight. It's like getting economic advice from Zimbabwe. Kelly Jones has looked at Razorlight, kicked the wheels and sucked his teeth: He told MTV: "If there's any band members left by that point... he reminds me of where we were with our third album… in fucking trouble!" Actually, Kelly, Stereophonics were in trouble from about thirty minutes after everyone realised that Local Boy In The Photograph was as good as it was going to get. But you're [...]

Flying through the comfortable corridors of mainstream, without doubt, this was as good as it gets for live music, in reality, top level fucking fantastic. Last Thursday`s Stereophonics gig at that heavenly architectural creation The Royal Albert Hall , part of a weeks worth of shows that included Kasabian , Fairport Convention And Bullet For My Valentine all raising much needed awareness and money for The Teenage Cancer Trust . You can almost bet your first born child, The Stereophonics will not disappoint. Kelly Jones ripped through [...]

I don't get out to see many bands at the moment. Partly it's due to sheer incompetence in getting tickets - especially because, in London, up-and-coming acts have a tendency to sell out before you've bought tickets unless you're really on the ball. Partly it's that there aren't many bands I'd like to see that I haven't already seen yet. And partly there's the financials. When you're unemployed, you think , "Right, it's £30-40 for two tickets, plus some food, and the babysitter, which in total ends up near £100 to watch a band surrounded by [...]

If you grew up in the 90s like some of us (no names will be mentioned), then you must be creaming your collective pants. Let's see, we've had Jane's Addiction , Blur , Faith No More , Sublime , Jesus Lizard , Pavement , Orbital and The Libertines all in the news in the past couple months about confirmed or rumored reunions. And that's not even taking into account The Specials or Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young . Well, add one more to your list. The already [...]

Earlier in the week we gave you a preview of Lovebox , a two day festival in London. However, whilst that's all well and good for those of us who like our beds and a nice warm shower at the end of the day, some people like to get "back to nature", and one of the best to do this at is the Isle of Wight Festival , which takes place on the 12th - 14th June in Seaclose Park, Isle of Wight. Having just announced Neil Young [...]
