Artist: Tom Tom Club

Sunday was a day of rediscovery for me. It had been years since I listened to Doolittle , the 1989 breakthrough album by Pixies, in its entirety. So many that I'd nearly forgotten what a fantastic album it is. Then yesterday, on the way home from my morning run, my iPod shuffle landed on "Debaser," the opening track, and it all came flooding back to me. What was it about Doolittle that made it such a perfect album, so much so that when I started to listen to it for the first time in [...]

Algunas páginas web como la del Washington Post o Playlist.com , publicaron una lista de canciones que conformarían un playlist ideal de canciones representativas para recordar al visionario creador de Apple. Recopilamos algunas... ¿Ustedes qué opinan? La lista tiene muchas referencias obvias y no tiene que ver con sus gustos personales, pero todas aluden a genialidad y a la visión del desaparecido Steve Jobs. Steve Jobs 1955-2011.

In any given week there's always a ton of NYC-area shows spanning across multiple genres and styles, but it seems like this week's concert calendar is even more sonically random than normal. Here are the highlights as I see 'em... Early in the week, we've got Explosions in the Sky with the Antlers at the beautiful Wellmont Theatre (in Montclair, NJ). Elvis Costello - who I mentioned last week - continues to bring his "Spectacular Spinning Songbook" to the area, with a show at the [...]

Uno de los buenos cover que he escuchado este año. Producido hace un par de meses por el recientemente Dj Mehdi . Otra muestra mas del talento que había detrás de este gran músico. La canción después de hecha se convirtió en la canción de la publicidad de Evian en Europa. De lo mejor de Uffie en el ultimo tiempo. Uffie - Wordy Rappinghood (Produced by DJ Mehdi by Hypetrak

Well, folks… back from the field and here again at Cluster 1. Outside Lands was quite a weekend, and we have some radical exclusive content coming your way in the form of interviews, live footage, and some more festival goodies. So, stay tuned, but for now, enjoy the past few day's posts. Interviews: Cluster 1 Interview with Chris Frantz (of the Talking Heads and Tom Tom Club) - Our very own Cap Blackard sat down with Chris Frantz to talk a darker sound, more EPs, and a tour with the Psychedelic Furs.

At the beginning of the year, Consequence of Sound and Cluster 1 's own Cap Blackard called up Chris Frantz of Tom Tom Club and Talking Heads for a bit of a chat . This time around, they met face to face - and Cap brought a camerawoman (Eleanor Edwards). In the six-minute clip above, you can hear what Frantz has to say about the future of Tom Tom Club. He touches upon what we can expect from future recordings (hint: lots of EPs), new Tom Tom Club side-ventures (the darker, electronic-leaning [...]

Pint sized Parisian sexpot (and no stranger to 80s tributes ), Uffie returns with a track she seemed born to cover; Wordy Rappinghood by The Tom Tom Club . Being a Flashback Friday today long time members of Versions Galore will recall that we already tackled some great renditions of Wordy back in 2008 , but Uffie's hot off the presses cut is a fine and funky addition.

Photo by Damien McGlynn. For my generation, the music of Tom Tom Club was always a whisper compared to a conversation about Talking Heads. While the latter were revered on the dancefloor, on airwaves and online, the former didn't seem to have enough champions to raise the band above a curio act. Of course, the two were always going to be closely linked. Tina Weymouth and Chris Frantz formed Tom Tom Club while David Byrne put Talking Heads on hiatus in the early '80s. The married duo went off and recorded what was to [...]

Tom Tom Club have a definite time and place in musical history - 1981, New York. Essentially the rhythm section of seminal new wave band Talking Heads, bassist Tina Weymouth and her husband, drummer Chris Frantz, were the band's back bone. In 1980, Talking Heads recorded their fourth album Remain In Light in the Bahamas. With Brian Eno at the helm, the band experimented with African rhythms, samples and loops. In the process, many outside musicians were brought into a crowded studio and in essence, Tom Tom Club were a reaction to, or perhaps an extension of, [...]

A weekly feature in which our writers and photographers share their favourite tracks of the week. Tom Tom Club - 'Genius of Love' (chosen by Jennifer Gannon) Nothing can quite match the inexplicable,unrivalled, simple bliss of twisting and turning your feet on a dancefloor to a tune that feels like its captured the very heartbeat of life. Dancing out the death of the working week and losing yourself to the beat in a crowded room. To have not danced to 'Genius of Love' is to do your soul a grave disservice. With its belching, [...]

If you're old enough to remember the 802s, start digging out the period regalia now because two of the decade's new wave staples are gearing up for a 14-date U.S. fall tour. Although neither outfit has released a new album since 2000, The Psychedelic Furs and The Tom Tom Club have plotted a one-month trek across the states commencing September 2nd at the free American Music Festival in Virginia Beach, VA. Devo will join the tour for a special one-night performance September 17th just outside of Seattle. Check out the complete list of joint [...]

After not one but two spots at last weekend's North by Northeast , the Devolution is going on a bit of a road trip. The drive would certainly be easy if Colorado and California were just closer, as those are the only two states that get the pleasure of Devo 's seven-stop summer tour. One of those stops will be at, of all places, the inaugural Denver County Fair , which came into being because apparently someone made chickens legal in Denver; sounds like a reason to party if there ever was one.
