Now that I have a great turntable and pre-amp, I've been visiting the archives to see which albums and singles deserve to be re-recorded and re-posted. Obviously, the soundtrack to Urgh! A Music War was one of the first on the list. These new recordings sound light-years better than my last attempt, and I highly recommended you download them even if you have an older copy I posted. I've talked about Urgh! several times over, so I'll keep the intro brief. It's an amazing document of a time period in music, when the punk [...]
34 Years ago today, seminal indie blues-wave rock artist Elvis Presley passed away, leaving a gaping hole in Americana. Unlike current rock star martyrs, who prefer a swift and speedy exit, Elvis's decline had been slow and painful and by the time he had perished, the singer was a shell of his former self. Regardless, his influence on music today is undeniable and as a result, we will take some time today to post some random covers of the King. The first cover we'll be writing about might be the most famous. English reggae band UB40 [...]
And we're on the home straight....you should know the score by now, but if you don't....follow this LINK . 134. Basement Jaxx - Romeo [3:26] [ time remaining 497:13 ] ( YSI Download ) Everything about this tune screams good times, dancefloors and any other fun connotations you can think of. But then with Basement Jaxx, the most instantly recognisable dance producers of our time, this is no surprise.
I remember coming across the acoustic version on 'The Singles' bonus CD for the first time and being blown away also. How a song [...]
808 State : One in Ten [ purchase ] This is not the post I set out to do. It's all the fault of a reader named Leopold Stotch . Two years ago, Stotch left a comment on one of my posts. It was the second part of my survey of polyrhythm, from Tricky Beats week. I had posted Help Me Somebody, by Brian Eno and David Byrne. Byrne and Eno had created an entire album of music built around samples of talk shows, radio preachers, and other spoken word [...]
UB40 - Where Did I Go Wrong? I'm not sure that people know this song exists, like Robin Campbell paces around his living room, stops, sighs, "It's our best song, you guys don't even get it." Sure, Kingston Town is lovely, pensive, the kind of song that makes you miss a place you've never been to, but this convinces you, guilts you, into missing a love that never existed, a warmth that never held you. Do not: play this on a bitter winter's evening, thinking it will distract you from the brittle winds. It [...]
David Livingston, Getty Images Ozzy Osbourne may be the last person you would think of when it comes to academic progress, but a hometown university has named an award in his honour. The Birmingham City University have launched the Ozzy Osbourne Development Award after the Black Sabbath man, one of the city's most famed alumni, reports the Birmingham Mail . It is given out to students who have performed well on the university's Media and Communications (Music Industries) degree. The first recipient of the [...]
Sublime eccentricity. Motorcycle romanticism. Nice ways of describing Montreal-based (but born in Toulouse) Olivier Alary , mastermind behind Ensemble . Alary worked with Björk, Lou Barlow and Cat Power. On the upcoming single , Dominique A(né) is guestvocalist. Is it postrock? Is it orchestral chanson? It's modern, that's for sure. Excerpts is the 3rd album Alary made under the Ensemble-moniker, but the first featuring French songs. Darcy Conroy (pictured) is providing the female vocals. Alary sings a couple of French songs, Conroy one, the beautiful-sad Les saisons viennent. A song to pamper your winter depression [...]

UB40:
A British judge has declared reggae outfit UB40 bankrupt in a Birmingham County Court, according to reports from NME . The court order apparently lasts for 12 months and means that officials could potentially seize property to make up for the band's debts. This news comes after the group already saw their record label and management company fail in the past few years. As UB40 fans likely know, the order only applies to four of the group's members as former frontman Ali Campbell quit the band in 2008 over a financial dispute. Looks like he made the [...]
UB40 Declared Bankrupt Despite Countless Chart Hits
Filed under: News EMI Despite over 50 songs hitting the British charts and a reported 70 million albums sold worldwide, reggae group UB40 have declared bankruptcy. According to NME (via the Daily Mail ), a judge at Birmingham County Court made the ruling, leaving tax officers able to seize the group's property to pay off debts. Four members of the group -- saxophonist Brian Travers, drummer Jimmy Brown, percussionist Norman Hassan and trumpeter [...]
UB40: Signing on again
The miserable recent past of UB40 projects into the miserable present, with the band being declared bankrupt following the collapse of DEP and the wrangles with Ali Campbell. The four members of the band - Brian Travers, Jimmy Brown, Terence 'Astro' Oswald and Norman Hassan - have been given personal insolvency orders; Ali Campbell, meanwhile, is being smug from the safety of not being in the band any more: His spokesman said the bankruptcy court case showed Ali was right to quit the band. "It is ironic that the very week they celebrate their [...]
