the JAMES BLUNT 's new NO BRAVERY video includes footage that he took in Kosovo in 1999. hmm. that is all. wotyougot

Adam Gorman of The Travelling Band (co-vocalist and guitarist) was standing outside, rolling a cigarette when I arrived at the Electric Circus at the agreed time for my first ever band interview. Great start, what could go wrong from here? The fact that Jo Dudderidge couldn't join us as somebody else was interviewing him didn't mean that it was a 1 on 1 interview as I initially thought, but quite the contrary. Bassist Chris Spencer walked into one of the interestingly decorated back rooms with us. After a short introduction and everybody getting themselves a drink out of [...]

It would be an understatement to say that anticipation is high for the release of Above & Beyond 's Group Therapy due out on June 6th on Anjunabeats. In the run-up to the release of the British trance trio's second album (which incidentally features contributions from Zoë Johnston and Richard Bedford ), Big Shot 's Kathy Vitkus sat down with two-thirds of the group — Jono Grant and Paavo Siljamäki ( Tony McGuinness wasn't present) — for a nice chat at a bungalow at the W Hotel in South [...]

Following Monday's show at The Deaf Institute, Manchester Aid to Kosovo are set to take over the Union Chapel this evening. Ten years after they released their first compilation album to raise money to help the war-torn country of Kosovo, MAK are still hard at work: aiming to bring aid, education and help to a poverty stricken country that still find them selves reeling from the turbulent civil war. Always using Manchester's vibrant music scene as their inspiration, the charity's latest album ten features the likes of Elbow , Cherry Ghost and [...]
Early in 2001, the release of MAK's (Manchester Aid to Kosovo) compilation, 'Cohesion', gave many music fans outside of this rainy Northern city the first chance to hear the then little known group Elbow. 10 years on and the follow up compilation '102 sees the now familiar voices of Guy Garvey and Jimi Goodwin surrounded by a new group of emerging Manchester artists. Manchester Music has funded much of the work of MAK (approximately a third of it's total income) enabling it to create the 22 acre Manchester Peace Park in NE Kosovo at the request of children medically evacuated to [...]

You know, all things considered, I'd say America dodged a bullet because at least our head of state is only a non-America, socialist, nazi, communist. Kosovo 's prime minister is the head of a "mafia-like" Albanian group responsible for smuggling weapons, drugs and human organs through eastern Europe, according to a Council of Europe inquiry report on organised crime . Hashim Thaçi is identified as the boss of a network that began operating criminal rackets in the runup to the 1998-99 Kosovo war, and has held powerful sway over the country's [...]

DJ Premier spoke with MTV this week about Jay-z's new book Decoded .

My Friend Wallis Vancouver, Canada Crystal Dorval I started My Friend Wallis as a recording side project to another band I used to play in called Vincat. Things fizzled out with that so I ended up adopting My Friend Wallis as my main brain child. I released my first EP "When The Blue Turned Yellow" in June 2009 and the release party was my first show and basically the start of the band. The [...]

Lifted Thoughts : TC doesn't agree, but P$C's 25 To Life was a quality album. This obviously didn't [...]

Riecco uno bravo. Che promette di scalare di nuovo le classifiche e anche l'airplay delle radio, come già fece con "You're beautiful ". Torna l'inglese James Blunt, ex ufficiale dell'esercito di Sua Maestà la Regina (fra l'altro è stato in Kosovo) diventato cantautore. E torna con un singolo davvero niente male, sicuramente più tardo-estivo che autunnale nei suoni (e nel video), ma assolutamente gradevolissimo e tutto da canticchiare. Non sarà facile ripetere le 11 milioni di copie vendute da "Back to Bediam" (che fra l'altro gli ha fatto vincere tutti i maggiori premi [...]
