Hatherley's Done Well?

"White" Promo - Charlotte Hatherley
I still remember the fuss when Charlotte Hatherley joined boyish Irish indie-popsters Ash. "What's that girly doing up there playing guitar?" whined all the indie-boys. "Ooh, wish that was me" said all the indie-girls. "Couldn't give a shit, me, as long as she can play guitar like a mean funky devil" said I. And lo, upon seeing Ash at the Reading Festival, it was pretty bleedin' obvious that she could. Watching her lay into the riff from "Walking Barefoot" was wonderful; one of modern rock's great riffs, if flows and twists, all melody [...]

Abgekupfert oder auch nicht

Abgekupfert oder auch nicht Man muss sich wirklich fragen, wenn man die Eingangssequenz von 'Connection' vom Debut hört, ob nicht wirklich geklaut wurde, aber wer tut das im Musik-Business nicht an der einen oder anderen Stelle - für mich ist das Debut auf alle Fälle hörenswert... - hier das was bei mir von der Band rumfliegt... ------------------------------ ------------------------------ ------------------------- Kopf von Elastica ist Justine Frischmann (Gitarre, Gesang). Anfang der 90er ist sie noch mit Brett Anderson liiert und zusammen gründen sie Suede. Doch die Beziehung geht in die Brüche und Justine verlässt Suede. Per Annonce sucht und findet sie Musiker, mit denen [...]

SONGS FROM THE LAST CENTURY

SONGS FROM THE LAST CENTURY I miss the '90s. There, I've said it! While everyone and his mother continue to obsess over '80s music, I'm equally, if not more, enthralled by the less-hyped-and-sort-of-all-ove r-the-place sound of the 10 years that followed, perhaps partly because it neatly contained the Clintonian era, during which I was in a considerably better overall mood. TLC and an assorted few others aside, it was a pretty dismal time for commercial pop and R&B (guilty-pleasure Eurocrap like Ace of Base and airbrushed middle-of-the-road soul like Boyz II Men, for the most part, ruled until later [...]

IL CATTIVO TENENTE – ULTIMA FERMATA NEW ORLEANS di Werner Herzog

IL CATTIVO TENENTE – ULTIMA FERMATA NEW ORLEANS di Werner Herzog Opera di magnifico turgore politico, sorta di blues psichedelico per sopravvissuti ad un'Apocalisse evidentemente già avvenuta (l' "ultima chiamata New Orleans"…), "Il Cattivo Tenente" versione Herzog comincia con un tuffo suicida in acqua, e finisce in un acquario: secondo te i pesci sognano? , si chiede Nicolas Cage (facile correre ad "Al Di La Della Vita" nei toni della sua performance, stupefatta oltre che stupefacente). Nel soddisfatto sorriso finale, il protagonista sembra aver trovato la sua risposta: che cosa scorge Terry guardando in macchina, che lo fa scoppiare a ridere? Il cattivo tenente ride perché [...]

One Track Mind - Machines of Loving Grace

One Track Mind - Machines of Loving Grace I was just rummaging through my collection to find something to blog about and came across a song I really liked from 1993. You remember 1993 don't you? C'mon, it was only 16 years ago now. It was the year of brilliant songs like The Breeders' Cannonball, The London Suede's Animal Nitrate, Beck's Loser, New Order's Regret, Nirvana's Heart Shaped Box, Pearl Jam's Daughter, Smashing Pumpkins' Cherub Rock, Belly's Feed The Tree, Mazzy Star's Fade Into You, Liz Phair's Fuck and Run, Urge Overkill's Positive Bleeding, Juliana Hatfield's My Sister, Elastica's Stutter, Soul Asylum's Black Gold, Bjork's Human Behaviour, James' [...]

Cinema Sounds: Trainspotting: Music from the Motion Picture

Cinema Sounds: Trainspotting: Music from the Motion Picture As Renton runs through the streets of Edinburgh, it's clear he's up to no good. This isn't a casual jog young Renton is taking, and it's certainly not a street race. This character is never running towards anything. He and his mates, Sick Boy, Spud, and Begbie, are only ever running away. They run from authority, from employment, from loved ones. They run away from accepting responsibility not only for their own lives, but the lives around them. Their reason for this (excepting the merely psychotic Begbie) is heroin, their "Lust for Life". It is the Iggy Pop song of [...]

Short Cuts

Vacations and other deadlines have conspired to make me late this month, kids - apologies for the delay. In keeping with the theme (and in an effort to finally wrap up our September lists), I'm going to make this quick: my goal was to assemble a list of songs that were just short enough to leave you wanting more, songs that made you skip back & listen to them again right away. Here we go: Ten Minute Turns, "Stars Burn OUT" A perfect combination of dusky [...]

mixtape | alright: a britpop primer

mixtape | alright: a britpop primer so as i said the other day, i've been listening to a lot of britpop lately, and after a while i got tired of wading through all the shit (hello, northern uproar) and decided to make my own "best of". except this isn't really a best of as such, since that would basically have lots of songs by 4 or 5 bands and no one else. so instead consider this more of a primer of sorts: not necessarily the best but certainly pretty representative of the scene at the time. as such i've focused only on the years [...]

Album Review: The Degenerettes – Bad Girls go to Hell (Creative Capitalism)

Album Review: The Degenerettes – Bad Girls go to Hell (Creative Capitalism) Editor's Note: This CD comes packaged with some great custom 3-D poster art! MP3: The Degenerettes - Truck Drivin' Girlfriend Lou Reed sang in 1969 that "no kinds of love are better than others" and I'm not inclined to agree-as Dante demonstrated in Purgatorio , there are plenty of variations on love gone awry-although I think what Lou really meant to say, more precisely, was that no acts of consensual fucking are better than others. The Degenerettes don't sing about fucking. Not in the kitschy [...]

Not Made For Lova Moor C'est avec une joie non dissimulée que j'ai appris la sortie prochaine d'un nouvel EP de Metronomy , Not Made For Love . 3 nouveaux morceaux que j'ai hâte d'entendre pendant le prochain concert à la cigale (dès que quelqu'un se sera décidé à m'inviter pasque là *mode Michel Leeb on* présentement *mode Michel Leeb off* j'ai plus un rond).

Why Are All My Worst Hangovers on Friday?

Why Are All My Worst Hangovers on Friday? Maybe it's because the weekend seems to be within reach, so the idea of slightly overdoing it on Thursday doesn't seem so bad. Maybe it's because you don't get the chance to sleep it off like you do on Saturday or Sunday. Or maybe it's because feeling a bit shit seems so much worse when you have a deadline and a hell of a lot to accomplish in order to meet it. That, in fact, is probably it. Mrs. Toad made cheesecake yesterday. Considering that she is the World's Least Domesticated Woman (TM) this is something of a [...]

Cool Britannia: The Birth & Death of Britpop in the 90s

Cool Britannia: The Birth & Death of Britpop in the 90s By Pete Donahue When I was in sixth grade, I was probably the only kid who could differentiate Liam Gallagher's singing voice from his brother's. While most of my friends were listening to Green Day's Dookie , and Mariah Carey, I was enjoying an English band unknown to my friends called Oasis. My father raised me on a steady diet of proper UK pop, with XTC, The Jam and The La's being the sounds around the house growing up. As my father's music taste was rather anglophilic, 1994's Definitely Maybe was an album [...]

In case, you are just tuning in, this series is taken from Mojo Magazine's Classic Edition - Britpop, featuring sixty Greatest 90's Britpop Albums. This post represents the half-way point in this series. With this post, I have covered thirty two out of the sixty albums.

The Happy Hollows "Monster Room"

[ audio ] When The Happy Hollows release their debut LP, Spells , on October 6th, they're going to please a lot of music fans. The Los Angeles trio's exuberant sound has broad appeal, touching as it does on everything from post-punk and art-pop to the femme-fronted Brit-pop acts of the '90s and the genre's more recent products. Spells was produced by David Newton (former guitarist of the far too often overlooked C-86 act The Mighty Lemon Drops ), who infuses the proceedings with just the [...]

Crop Rotation by Polyna & how I don't think I could be a musician in this day and age...

Crop Rotation by Polyna & how I don't think I could be a musician in this day and age... Photography by Alberto Guerra So, I came home from work yesterday and what was laying on our living room floor underneath our mail slot (which, even though it lets in the occasional bug and always the cold air during the winter, is too vintage/historical/awesome to remove and replace with a regular mail box thingy)?? Why a brand-spanking new CD by Polynya called Crop Rotation ! You see, a week or so ago, I got an email from Luke from the band asking me to take a gander [...]
