Artist: The Screens

New Bands on Winstons Zendar Do yourself a favour. Open your wardrobe or closet door, root around in the back amongst the old shoes and those specialist magazines you keep meaning to throw out and pull out that old air guitar and drum kit you've been hiding since you realised The Darkness were shit. Dust that baby down, you're gonna need your invisible axe looking its shiniest and your unseen skins tightened perfectly. There's a show to put on. If The [...]

THE PLAYLIST THAT BRINGS INNER P EACE ... Jesus, is it December already? Then I must be ten posts behind schedule by now, better pull out something special to make up for the lack of activity round these parts recently...... How about the the follow up to last months encouragingly successful ZenList ? Ten of the most head turning tracks from serious talent and seriously talented amateurs alike, cherry picked from the dozens of artists all eager [...]

The belated Sequel: Remember my mate Dave? This one.... Yeah? Well, remember the playlist I made for him a few weeks ago? This one . Part one of two? Remember now? Well, what with one thing and another, I have to admit that I'd forgotten to bring you part two. What? It's been busy round here. I've been decorating, you must have noticed a few changes! Anyway, I'm back on the ball now and clearing up the backlog, so here it is in [...]

Hey, it's Friday. Do you know what that means? I'm just beginning my work week, which is about the worst thought imaginable. Actually, that's not true, as I think I recently compiled a top ten list ranking some of the "worst things". Actually, it was ten horrible things that could happen to you ...but you get the idea. I probably shouldn't slag off about my work considering the hours are cushy and the environment is relatively stress-free. Just today someone walked up to me and handed me four free tickets to a screening of Burn After Reading next Thursday [...]

Ever since one of my favorite San Francisco bands The Mall moved to New York and broke up, I have been feeling a weird sort of void that only keyboards and high pitched screams could fill. Luckily I just got my hands on some rough edits by Screens (which features some former Mall members) and I feel much better. Actually I feel ten times more optimistic.. Listen to the drums on 'Saturdays 4 Eva' and tell me you don't think something good is about to happen. Screens - Saturdays 4 Eva [...]

The best thing about the little Irish film that could, Once , isn't Glen Hansard (singer of The Frames) and his delicately beat-up guitar with a voice to match. (That wouldn't be surprising, as anyone who read this earlier post could tell you.) It isn't the endearing handheld camera methods--all but dictated by a miniscule budget-- that helped make the movie this year's Sundance sleeper hit. It's Marketa Iglova, a Czech 19-year-old whose haunting voice and old-world lyrical style are a tangible link to Ireland's past and future. The film is set early this [...]
