Lightships on Teenage Fanclubista tutun Gerard Loven projekti, jolta ilmestyy ensimmäinen levy Electric Cables 2. huhtikuuta. Loven lisäksi kyytiin ovat lähteneet Dave McGowan (kitara, Teenage Fanclub), Brendan O'Hare (rummut, Teenage Fanclub), Tom Crossley (huilu, International Airport ja The Pastels) sekä Bob Kildea (basso, Belle & Sebastian). Lightships ei putoa kovinkaan kauas Teenage Fanclubin tunnelmista, mikä on minun kirjoissani ainoastaan hyvä asia. Luvassa siis klassista ja melodista kitarapoppia on maustettu reilulla määrällä lämpöä, tremoloa, viivettä ja huilua. Two Lines http://www.youtube.com/watch?v =4y9_Y404FQE [...]
Enjoy Kapowski and their weird futuristic (?) video and other videos by the Cheeks and their 602s inspired sounds, the British Correspondents, who feel like they're cheating just because their girlfriend changed her look, my beloved Tindersticks and their melancholic melodies and Gerard Love's of the Teenage Fanclub solo project Lightships. You can also download for free Troumaca's afro and [...]

Counting Crows announce an album of covers to be released in April and release a free track. They're also looking for artists to submit their Counting Crows covers to be included on a free EP.
Teenage Fanclub es una de esas bandas que sin mucho revuelo han consolidado una carrera discográfica llena de joyas auditivas y muchos buenos momentos, gracias sobre todo a la maestría de sus tres miembros permanentes, quienes comparten responsabilidades tanto en la composición de música como de las letras y vocales. El trío ha formado además numerosos grupos alternos y colaborado con algunos de los proyectos más importantes de su natal Escocia, a los que ahora se les une una nueva agrupación producto de las inquietudes de su bajista y vocalista Gerard Love .

Eesh, I'm having a serious cringe at that blog title, but hey, it's late at night and my brain is grinding. Tonight is Burns Night , when people all over the world celebrate the life and poetry of late, poet Robert Burns. I've used it as an excuse to post up some songs from some great Scottish musicians and artists. I put a posts out through the Gigantic Facebook and Twitter accounts to get people to suggest their favourite artists. The response has been amazing, and when you start to list all [...]

El bajista y compositor de Teenage Fanclub , Gerard Love formó un nuevo proyecto bajo el nombre Lightships . La idea de un disco solista no le gustaba al principio a Love , pero tras la insistencia del sello Domino , de quien es muy cercano, accedió. El bajista quería un nombre ambiguo que no dijera que el disco era sólo de él, a pesar de que las canciones son [...]
Teenage Fanclub have made some of the most endearing indie pop of the past 20 years. Now the band's Gerard Love is returning with a new project Lightships . That band, comprised of Love and some of his Glaswegian buddies, release their debut album , Electric Cables , on April 3rd. The video for the first track, "Two Lines", is up already here: Here's the track list for the album: Two Lines [...]

Roger Deckker A little before the holidays rolled in, Swedish songstress Lykke Li gave her fans an early Christmas gift by releasing a three-song EP of stripped-down versions of this year's Wounded Rhymes . They're decidedly spare and more downbeat than the finished versions, but if you liked the moodiness that pervaded her second album, then you might well like these versions better than the album versions because they've got shadowy atmosphere to spare. And if the version of "Jerome" sounds familiar, it's because a video of the [...]

Ho ho ho, assholes! With the Christmas holiday coming up this weekend and we're already two days deep up on the Hanukkah tip, it's very much time to drop the annual The Decibel Tolls Holiday Mixer . You know the deal - a carefully curated collection of skewed, brain-burning, monolithic Christmas gems that totally sleigh. Get it?! Sleigh? Slay? It's a homophone, you guys! Ugh... never mind. Tough crowd. Anyway, these yule-time canticles exalted on high can crush shopping malls and magically spike egg nog, true story. For this year's mixer, you'll recognize you'll recognize some jams from previous year's mixers, [...]

Género: Indie pop, synth. El canadiense John O'Regan, es habitual en mis reseñas. Me atrae la simple marca que imprime en todo lo que toca. Tan sólo un trabajo largo, Special Affections , pero especial dedicación en covers, colaboraciones, proyectos varios, como PS I Love You , ahora le toca moldear a su gusto el Mellow Doubt de Teenage Fanclub . Y como muchas otras, con ese aire casiotones y su inconfundible voz, le ha quedado estupendo y dosificado el tuneo. [...]

Best way to follow that last post, featuring one of my favourite bands? Do one with another of my favourite bands. If you don't know who Teenage Fanclub are then get yourself to Google and/or a record shop right now. We'll wait for you to come back. Bellshill's finest can do no wrong by me. The alarming part is that I was only 11 when this session happened. Goodness I feel old now. Teenage Fanclub appeared twice in the 1990 Festive Fifty, and three times is the 1991 one. [...]

The b-side to the forthcoming 'You & Me' 7" from Diamond Rings (out Nov 15th via Astralwerks) is this lovely sounding cover of 'Mellow Doubt' by Teenage Fanclub. It sounds like something you'd hear on a TOTP2 show, but not the cheesy stuff, the sort of track that makes you go "I remember those guys! They're flippin' fantastic." We love pianos.
