Ya hemos hablado de Alex Turner, vocalista de Arctic Monkeys y de un proyecto aparte que tenía con Mile Kanes, vocalista de The Rascals. Pues sí, The Last Shadow Puppets es la nueva agrupación de estos dos seres, ambos cantantes de música indie, que empiezan el proyecto en 2007. El productor James Ford sería el que guiaría este proyecto y además haría la batería. El primer sencillo, con video incluido, es "The Age Of The Understatement", el video te lleva a tiempos de guerra y de religión. El segundo sencillo será "Standing Nex To Me", que ya está rodando por [...]

Alright, the date when Albert 's sophomore LP Como Te Llama will be released is creeping nearer and nearer and my opinion about it has not changed. I don't want him him to release that record for exactly the reasons I gave here . But, he's a Stroke, so I give in - can't do anything about it anyway. Como Te Llama is nevertheless different to Yours To Keep . It's not as mellow and pop-ish as his debut, it's got rougher parts and doesn't sound as fluently. It does remind me a [...]
After releasing three classic garage blue-eyed soul records, the Rascals felt a need to expand their sound, become a bit more ornate, and take in the influence of psychedelia. In early 1968 they released Once Upon A Dream, a vague concept lp inspired by recent albums Pet Sounds and Sgt. Pepper's. The concept is a bit unclear to me but I believe each track is supposed to represent a different dream. The group's vocal arrangements were some of their most ambitious to date and where the previous three albums had been excellent collections of album tracks and singles, [...]
Well it's set to be released internationally tomorrow, but The Rascals' Rascalize was leaked about a month ago and it's been oozing all over the place ever since. Not that that's such a terrible thing (ok, maybe for Deltasonic Records it is), because I really do enjoy it, although I'm not so sure I should be saying that out loud seeing as Rascalize appears to be receiving more than its fair share of underwhelming reviews from a bunch of underwhelmed critics still hung up on an Alex Turner ideal. Admittedly it is a little spooky just how uncannily [...]
Ik zou over muziek gaan schrijven. Dus! Dat ga ik nu doen. In het Engels wel te verstaan (want dan kan 'ie ook op Last.fm)! En ik ben ook nog bezig met een recensie voor het album van Johnny Foreigner. Want die is té koel om niet over te schrijven. It's been a real long time since a wrote a journal like [...]

Lousy Robot are a band from Albuquerque, New Mexico. Apart from living in a place with a name that is ridiculously hard to spell, they've recently released a full length entitled Smile Like You Are Somewhere Else on Socyermom Records . It was recorded at the fantastic Salim Nourallah's Pleasantry Lane Studios. What came out of those recordings is an album full of introspective pop songs that lack the luster and glam that annoys most indie rock fans. Filling that void is a thick grimey midwest attitude that everyone can enjoy. mp3: Lousy Robot [...]

Pilzköpfe unite! Alex Turner von den Arctic Monkeys und Miles Kane von den (noch) nicht so bekannten Tha Rascals veröffentlichen Mitte April ihr Debüt als The Last Shadow Puppets. Ein Hinhörer. (more...)
Since my last post about one member of The Rascals teaming up with one Arctic Monkey, I've gotten a couple requests for some old school Rascals , the AM radio hit making machine that they were. I loved this band when I was growing up and still listen to them pretty regularly. I actually bought this reissue of all their Atlantic Recordings, of which there were many, but it was totally worth it. Along with bands like The Association, The Grass Roots, The Hollies and Tommy James & The Shondells, The Rascals wrote some incredible [...]
So, the heat is on - and well deserved - for the new project between Alex Turner of the Arctic Monkeys and Miles Kane of The Rascals. They're called The Last Shadow Puppets . Their foot stompin' instant classic is due to hit the streets in May 6th on Domino Records. Have you visited their web site? Check it out here: The Age Of Understatement And, who are The Rascals ?

"True compassion is more than flinging a coin to a beggar; it comes to see that an edifice which produces beggars needs restructuring." – Martin Luther King It's Martin Luther King Day, and as I've been checking the various tributes to and commemorations of the man and his legacy, I've noticed there is a tendency to gloss over or ignore the more radical elements of King's message. The March on Washington and the "I Have a Dream" speech were very important events which have unfortunately been transformed into idiomatic Riddley Walker [...]
