For ramblings on how I came to compile this list go here . And for commentary on previous selections: [ #50-46 ] [ #45-41 ] [ #40-36 ] [ #35-31 ] [ #30-26 ] 25. Kid A - Radiohead (2000) While I completely understand my own enthusiasm for this album, I can't say that I really get why everyone else loves it so much. I've noticed that it's already topped some other 'best of the decade' [...]
My very good friend Randy Fuller has a really cool blog that is not about rock and roll. It's about wine, but he wrote an excellent piece recently on rock and roll wines. Actually, it's about good wine in bottles with rock and roll labels - Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon is there, so are the Rolling Stones, and even a Woodstock poster bottle. As I said, very cool, and you can read it here . I've known Randy for many years now, we went [...]
In the Book Notes series, authors create and discuss a music playlist that relates in some way to their recently published book. Ben Shaberman's essay collection The Vegan Monologues is more than a book about not eating animals. Sherman touches on political, social, and environmental issues while recounting his own experiences, always in his humorous yet poignant voice. In his own words, here is Ben Shaberman's Book Notes music playlist for his essay collection, The Vegan Monologues : [...]

Fregare il tempo, sentire l'aria che ti viene a prendere tutta d'un botto, avere sguardi limpidi, impallidire dinanzi all'ovvietà, cercare in continuazione la via di fuga, tremare e rincorrere un assolo di chitarra nell'ignoto che si sforma dinanzi ai tuoi occhi, cedere di schianto e lasciare che lo spostamento d'aria degli amplificatori smaterializzi le ultime incertezze: imbattersi in un disco dei Built To Spill rimane sempre un'esperienza taumaturgica, un avvenimento di per sé rivelatore di cosa possa fare una band con idee ben precise ed una manciata di sogni andati a male. Su tutto questo, tra [...]
Tonight's the night. We finally get to see The xx! Make sure and get to tonight's SOLD OUT show at the Mohawk early enough to check out the other opener, Holly Miranda. She sounds fantastic! We're hoping she plays her cover of Pink Floyd's "Breathe". The doors open at 8 by the way. Miranda's debut album The Magician's Private Library is due out on Feb. 23. Produced by Dave Sitek , it includes contributions from himself, Kyp Malone and Jaleel Bunton (TV On The Radio), Eric Biondo [...]
One would expect the end of the world to be a fairly chaotic affair. If the the trailer for this month's action flick 2012 is any indication, there's going to be a lot of shit blowing up. Cities will tumble. Mobs will scream and trample. There also be fighter jets, another creative destruction of the White House from disaster/snuff director Roland Emmerich, and (if you don't blink) Oliver Platt. I'm judging from the trailer alone, because it convinced me to totally disregard the actual film based on the erroneous statement that the Mayans were the "oldest civilization." If [...]
![Shark Attack, Shooting Judas Album [Review]](http://cache.elbo.ws/posts/2138708_lg.jpg)
Shooting Judas by Shark Attack Shooting Judas was released in June of 2009 and nearly five months later tracks are still being remixed and making headway on the scene. The first track, 'Creation ex Nihilo' is the perfect opening track. 'Northern City Riot' is a perfect reflection of helplessness and fear with it's high pitched and violent screech..but so much maturity with the breaks placed in between. One moment its rough and mean and then we are catching our breaths again! I slowly feel the waters turning and by the time, 'This Way, I know a [...]
Filed under: News Rock 'n' roll and spirited libations have always gone hand in hand. A new enterprise, Wines That Rock , wants to take things to a new level by creating quality wines named after legendary rock albums. Even better, the company -- created by business and fan club managers of bands like the Rolling Stones , David Bowie , Sting and U2 -- will place original album art on the wine labels. The first three products will be [...]
There is a reason I haven't been around for a bit. Homercat has finally acquired a turntable and he has been rediscovering the vinyl age. So all those vinyl albums that have been sitting around forever finally got to have their moment in the sun again. The price was right too, as in free. We were at a friends house that has tons of vinyl and he showed me crates and crates of stuff that he was going to get rid of as they were all duplicates. See he buys vinyl by the boxful and [...]
The December issue of Spin sets out to debunk the 33 "rock myths" that plague our culture, the biggest among them apparently being that Radiohead is good. The article (part of which is available for your perusal online ) posits that this century's golden group has degenerated into "an exceptionally well-dressed jam band. That you can't even dance to." Other fallacies tackled by the magazine? That 50 Cent was shot nine times, that Marilyn Manson had surgery to enable self-fellatio, and that Pink Floyd wrote Dark Side of the Moon as [...]
The Mexican musical duo who specialise in fast, rhythmic classical guitar return. Formerly Ireland's own flamenco combo (famous residents, as well as chart toppers here), they have since relocated to their homeland. A bonus DVD interview sees Rodrigo and Gabriela talk about their success and return to Mexico, along with a tour of their understated studio. It's amusing to note that they haven't lost their Dublin lingo ("we were fookin' stressed" as Gabriela observes). For budding guitarists, the DVD also has a detailed 20-minute tutorial. Regardless of these details in their personal situations, R&G's flamenco power chords and intricate soloing [...]
Pantheist has issued the following update about seeking a new guitarist: "Pantheist is still looking for a second guitar player after last Saturday's unsuccessful auditions. Pantheist are a signed, London-based underground band. Rooted in heavy metal, Pantheist cross-over into 70's prog rock (King Crimson, Pink Floyd, Eloy), atmospheric doom/dea...

○○○○○ I DON'T bandy the word 'genius' around lightly - I've used it just seven times in a year-and-a-half of Sound Advice. But expect to hear it a few times in the next week or so, as I play catch-up on some of the best albums of 2009 I might have missed, to make sure my Albums Of The Year 2009 are as watertight as possible. And first up is a March release from Easy Star All-Stars - chosen as the reggae supergroup are one of the few acts with a Classic Collection album, [...]
Filed under: News , Exclusive Pink Floyd 's classic double-record 'The Wall' has not only been a staple of rock but has also been a part of pop culture trivia, as founding drummer Nick Mason learned. "There's a [quiz show] program here [in Britain] called 'University Challenge,'" he tells Spinner. "Just by chance they happened to ask these students to name the song and the guitar player. I'm sad to say they failed. They didn't seem to know either Pink Floyd, David Gilmour or 'Comfortably Numb.'" [...]
A solo album where the artist actually plays every instrument - it's nuts. So is Vessel . The huge range of sonic playing fields - from house beats to prog rock - challenges the listener's aural dexterity. "Escher's Etchings" could be the lost track off of Pink Floyd's Animals . My face is totally owned. Reminds Us Of: Amon Tobin | Pink Floyd | Joe Satriani Adrian Tramontano: ( MySpace ) adrian tramontano [...]
Pubblicare un'opera come "Embryonic" oggi non è saggio. Poco tempo, troppa musica, settanta minuti, poco tempo. L'opinione generale su questo tipo di operazioni è che siano segno di inutile pomposità, di ingiustificate manie di grandezza. Tolto il superfluo e ridotto il rimanente in un singolo disco, si dice nei migliori dei casi, il risultato non sarebbe neanche male. Peccato che si sia voluto strafare. Questo si dice, e spesso a ragione. Poi ovvio che se tali ragionevoli obiezioni ci si ritrova a farle a un signore in completo grigio che è solito camminare sopra le folle dentro una bolla di [...]

Whether it be dismissing fellow band members, writing a semi-autobiographical [...]
I'm a cynical sort when it comes to re-releases, re-packages, deluxe editions, etc - they're obvious marketing tactics from record labels seeking to gain the maximum mileage out of the same material, especially as they try to bolster the inevitable decline in physical sales. Having said that, I'm going to remain completely transparent here and say I received advances of both the Duran Duran re-releases and the 40th Anniversary Special Edition of David Bowie's Space Oddity from EMI; because both David Bowie and Duran Duran contributed generously to my early music education, I felt it would be worth [...]
○○○○○ IF YOU decide to call your band The Amazing , you'd better be good. And then if you decided to also call your debut album The Amazing as well, well you'd better be better than good. Luckily, the Swedes are not bad at all. The eponymous LP, the band's first studio outing, is a psyche-folk-rock collection that's as much Pink Floyd as Grizzly Bear , full of woozy acoustic grooves and ethereal hummed vocals. Never undercooked, but never even close to the pomposity their name implies, The Amazing probably about sums [...]
