Twins - Tuesday Afternoon Best Hits - Fantastic Lands 2 Super fun cyborg micro-pop from Brooklyn's Matt Weiner, who splits time between this solo project Twins and his band of rulers Best Hits. Unsurprisingly, Twins is good buds with Luke Perry, and they have a split cassette coming out soon featuring three solo tracks each and a couple of collaborative forays thrown in the mix. Not sure where these songs come from, maybe a floppy disk found in some pixellated sidewalk gutter? A karaoke bar in 2088? The [...]
El manto de la penumbra suele dejarse caer en algún momento en la carrera de los artistas, y lo hacen notar en sus obras. En el caso de este crooner de Sheffield, ha llegado la instancia. Y en su sexto disco, el tono oscuro que adquiere es notorio. Basado en desafortunadas experiencias personales y de cercanos, Richard Hawley nos muestra las facetas que significan las rupturas y las promesas incumplidas. Si en Coles Corner lo dejaban plantado, acá sencillamente se encuentra sentado en una pieza oscura bebiendo para el olvido, aunque sin perder la elegancia y dignidad con [...]

by chuck bell There are many fans that have mourned the death of The Afghan Whigs , but as a native of Cincinnati, OH, their legacy is especially important to me on a personal level. Forming in 1986, singer/guitarist Greg Dulli, guitarist Rick McCollum, bassist John Curley and drummer Steve Earle (not that Steve Earle), took the DIY approach to breaking into the music scene in the Queen City. Early on, they formed their own record label, Ultrasuede, on which they would release their debut album, Big [...]
In the Book Notes series, authors create and discuss a music playlist that relates in some way to their recently published book. In her novel But Not for Long , Michelle Wildgen crafts a skillfully told story of personal crises during a major energy crisis. Social issues are as much in play as the characters' personal lives and interactions in this thought provoking and moving book, a worthy successor to Wildgen's much lauded You're Not You . The Rumpus wrote of the book: " [...]
55. the gutter twins - 'saturnalia' Mark Lanegan doesn't really move anymore on stage, but he doesn't need to - his voice does all the moving he needs. While his solo records have been nothing short of magical, it's been a while (since 1996, to be precise, with 'Dust', the last album of the Screaming Tree) since we've heard him rock out a bit. It took Greg Dulli, the other gutter twin, to get him back on that track again, and we should thank him. Actually, Dulli isn't really the "other", as [...]
To listen to Jonneine Zapata's new record, 'Cast The Demons Out' is to listen to a record with an intensity I haven't heard since Springsteen's Nebraska. To see her live is to feel you heart and lungs filled with the smoky intensity of a performer who's passion knows no boundaries. Having just completed a tour with Mark Lanegan's Soulsavers, she drew rave reviews in cities across the country who compared her with everyone from PJ Harvey to Jim Morrison. We were able to sit down with her after an intense show in Dallas, earlier in the [...]

Columbia Records Throughout his career, since the earliest days fronting Screaming Trees , Mark Lanegan has cultivated a distinct image as a man apart, solitary and brooding, an impression reinforced by his perma-scowl visage and voice like a gravel pit in hell. So why, if indeed this is man who just wants to be alone with a bottle, does he seem to be willing to work with everyone? Post-Trees, he embarked on a well-received solo career before joining up with Queens Of The Stone Age for a while, and at [...]
Τελικά τα τραγούδια που ήρθαν και βάραγαν την πόρτα τα χαράματα ήταν τόσα, που αποφασίσαμε να πάμε τις διακοπές που λέγαμε πριν κάνουμε τη δεύτερη εκπομπη με τις διασκευές... Πήγαμε, γυρίσαμε, γράψαμε διεξοδικά, τ'αφήσαμε πίσω και να'την, πετιέται. Radio Beans αριθμός 14, ένα μήνα και κάτι μετά το 13, και οι live διασκευές που είχαμε υποσχεθεί. Είπαμε να μην την κάνουμε δίωρη - μόνο μιάμιση ωρίτσα αυτή τη φορά, με 13 κομμάτια που προέκυψαν αφού ξεδιαλέξαμε την τεράστια σοδειά. Θα μας πείτε, πως με τέτοια ποικιλία διαθέσιμη καταλήξαμε να βάλουμε δυο φορές Radiohead... Θα σας πούμε ότι αδυναμίες [...]
The Like have (finally) resurfaced. It's been four years this week since the then-trio, not yet out of their teens, released "Are You Thinking What I'm Thinking?" — a debut album that was a good start for a young band but probably out of its league on a major label. Now as a four-piece, the Like have scored a slot opening for Arctic Monkeys , starting tonight in San Diego and including Tuesday at the Palladium. Frontwoman Z Berg and drummer Tennessee Thomas remain from the original lineup; bassist Laena Geronimo has replaced Charlotte Froom, who departed [...]
Steve Gullick Soulsavers are the dual production team of Rich Machin and Ian Glover and have blah, blah, blah... MARK FREAKIN' LANEGAN !!!!! Yes, it's true, Soulsavers are touring with the brooding mass of sad/drunken awesomeness that is Mark Lanegan-you might know him from Screaming Trees, Queens of the Stone Age, The Gutter Twins, and my dreams-and we want to give you a pair of tickets to witness it all. Soulsavers will be in town this coming Sunday (9/6) at the [...]

Soulsavers Broken Columbia Records [2009] Fire Note Says: This collaboration truly saves Mark Lanegan's soul! Album Review: Mark Lanegan is easily Mr. collaboration as he continues to lend his instantly recognizable chops to projects that more recently have included The Breeders, his duet records with Isobel Campbell and of course his devil work in The Gutter Twins with Afghan Whig Greg Dulli. This list is not near complete, [...]
