THIRTY DAYS OF MUSIC: DAY FOUR

THIRTY DAYS OF MUSIC: DAY FOUR day 04 – a song that makes you sad Randy Newman - When I'm Gone "I'm a better man than I was before, Knowing you has made me strong. And I sure am going to miss you when I'm gone." Randy Newman wrote this song for the last ever episode of Monk. After eight beautiful seasons, this unavoidably clichéd ballad soundtracked the final sequence; a collage of moments belonging to our [...]

day 03 – a song that makes you happy Hemstad - Sommar i Göteborg "..." There are certain bands and certain songs which I only ever listen to when conditions are ideal. Hemstad is one of them. So Hemstad imbue the summer. Hemstad imbue tropicalia. Hemstad imbue smiles. Imbuement is inspiration. And inspiration is half the battle.

THIRTY DAYS OF MUSIC: DAY TWO day 02 – your least favorite song Crazy Town - Butterfly "Come my lady Come come my lady" It's so much more difficult to choose one for this than for favourite/favorite song. And I can't even bear to re-listen to this to remember why it's so bad. Maybe I'm just scared that I'll nostalgically love it. No way. It's obviously not the worst song in the world. And it's not [...]

Princeton: Cocoon of Love

Mar 25, 2010, 10:37pm Hi-Fi Popcorn
Princeton: Cocoon of Love ALBUM REVIEW (written for some magazine) As it is the overly-obvious comparison which will surely plague California's Princeton , and because I wish to maintain some journalistic integrity, I endeavour to complete my review of their debut record 'Cocoon of Love' without once mentioning a young group of well-doers who call themselves Vampire Weekend. Whoops. Such a challenge is quite clearly testing, if not impossible. Any band who arrive with an original scope - [...]

I like to make music.

Jan 28, 2010, 8:20am Hi-Fi Popcorn
I like to make music. NO MONSTER CLUB No Monster Club is the amalgamation of a symphony of one. It is a revival of dirges and waltzes unearthed from the attics of dead popstars. It is the society of noise which silently forms around the cells and atoms of a young but ageing troubadour. It is a slideshow of the grotesque and a gramophone of the absurd, which - if you are of any valour, virtue or melody - you cannot help but join. Flying Colours [...]

Two Thousand and Eight.

Dec 31, 2008, 8:40am Hi-Fi Popcorn
Two Thousand and Eight. Another fucking album list to glance at, just because I made one to give myself a New Year's Eve buzz... Looking at it, I think the top (baker's) dozen or so are ones which I'll still be listening to in years to come. That's a successful year, I think... 1. Islands - Arm's Way 2. Vampire Weekend - Vampire Weekend 3. So Cow - I'm Siding With My Captors 4. Times New Viking - Rip it Off 5. Human Highway - Moody Motorcycle 6. Titus Andronicus - The Airing of [...]

Hitch A Ride In My Wetsuit.

Nov 19, 2008, 6:59am Hi-Fi Popcorn
Hitch A Ride In My Wetsuit. JAN AND DEAN What kind of music is one meant to listen to during the winter time? Is it the cold, dark folk of someone like thinguma*jigSaw to reflect and amplify the present world and chill your bones even more? Or maybe something like Sung Tongs where the guitars crunch like the leaves underfoot and the heartstopping melodies wrap themselves around you like a body sock; the breakaway yellows in a palette of autumnal browns. Then again, perhaps the most ideal music is the [...]

Life Is A Rollercoaster, Just Gotta Ride It (All Night Long).

Nov 12, 2008, 5:28pm Hi-Fi Popcorn
Life Is A Rollercoaster, Just Gotta Ride It (All Night Long). ANDY'S AIRPORT OF LOVE The closing track - and highlight - of 'Ballad of the Aleutian Sea Otter' is entitled Old Wooden Rollercoaster. Far be it from someone writing about music to pull a dumb metaphor out of his hole (sorry, I mean "apropos of nothing"), I won't bother suggesting that this debut "album" from Andy's Airport of Love (all 7.3 minutes of it!) is somewhat akin to a ride on a rickety wooden coaster. Perhaps Blackpool Pleasure Beach's Grand National? Over seventy years [...]

"Zip him back up, he sucks!"

Nov 5, 2008, 5:45pm Hi-Fi Popcorn
"Zip him back up, he sucks!" TRIPPING DAISY: I AM AN ELASTIC FIRECRACKER Here's another review which was originally written for the first issue of 'Underground Wires'. All of the albums reviewed within the zine were released in 1995 and were thus required to be written about from the perspective of one stuck in the dead centre of the nineties. Is Tripping Daisy a band comprised of recreational drug-users? Well, the Texans' second long-player is entitled 'I am an ELASTIC FIRECRACKER'. The cover features an elderly [...]

Nuts!

Nov 1, 2008, 4:55pm Hi-Fi Popcorn
Nuts! THE MACADAMIA BROTHERS Continuing the trend of misleadingly named "bands" on Rack and Ruin Records , The Macadamia Brothers consists of Canuckman Scott and... nobody else; not his sibling, nor a fellow friar. In fact, not even he is a friar! He doesn't specialise in making one particular sound of music, unless "good" can be considered a genre of its own. Amongst his polarised array of tunes is '(So) Into You', a song which resembles an even more layaround version of the Unicorns; [...]

All of the albums reviewed within the zine were released in 1995 and were thus required to be written about from the perspective of one stuck in the dead centre of the nineties. I'll immediately assassinate the elephant in the corner of this room by mentioning a young group of upstarts called My Bloody Valentine. Four years on from the release of Loveless, The Idiots [...]
