Hace un par de meses The Cinematics publicaban su segundo álbum Love And Terror, con el que la banda está reeditando el éxito cosechado con su trabajo anterior "A Strange Education". El grupo se formó en Glasgow en el año 2003, siendo inicialmente sus componentes Scott Rinning (voz, guitarra), Adam Goemans (bajo), Ramsay Miller (guitarra) y Ross Bonney (batería). En el año 2005 ficharon por el sello TVT Records, siendo su primer disco producido por personas de bastante renombre como Simon Barnicott (Arctic Monkeys, Kasabian, Editors, [...]

Seeing the boys from Leroy Justice on stage tends to remind me of the scene in Cheech and Chong's Up In Smoke when Curtis first passes out the new uniforms to the band. Man (Chong): No, hey man, if we're gonna wear uniforms man, you know let's have everybody wear something different. Pedro (Cheech): Yea, that's it. Yea, we want something wear everybody wears something different man, but the same, you know? Always dressed to the nines in their "same, but different" vests and three [...]

This website has been all about indie rock and underground rap since 2004. But this year on Berkeley Place, we began running regular features about our other long time love: Comics. In the process, we've become acquainted with a few folks who share that passion. Since the decade is winding down, we thought a retrospective of funnybooks for the past 10 years was in order. But how to ensure that it isn't just our narrow interests that are reflected? How to capture the breadth of some of the brands we don't read, like westerns, war [...]
Just a few quick schedule updates for some on-air happenings at WDVX this week... ***I had mentioned over the weekend that Jill Andrews of the everybodyfields would be joining me on the air tonight as part of the WDVX Fall Fund Drive. That appearance has been postponed as Jill has been given the opportunity to open for Willie Nelson tonight at the Tennessee Theatre. I spoke with her yesterday, and she is very excited for the chance to play on the same stage as one of the legends of Country [...]
First of all, I want to thank all of you who have been digg-ing and Stumble-Uponing these posts. Their popularity is the reason I keep doing them so regularly. 1. Marvel/Lionsgate just released a box set Marvel Animation's 6 DVD movies. Thought I'd let you know whether it's worth the price. Inside, you'll get: Ultimate Avengers 1. A pretty faithful (but abbreviated and somewhat sanitized) rendition of the Ultimates comic book, focusing on the Avengers-vs-Hulk-vs-aliens story. Excellent animation and voicework, well-paced story, perfect for all ages. A+. [...]
Percy X is Anthony Scott MacKinnon, who as his name suggests is from Scotland. Indebted to tough-techno pioneers Underground Resistance as well as the minimalist heads at Berlin's Basic Channel, Scotsman Tony Scott has been recording excellent techno from his base in Glasgow since the mid-'90s. Scott originally appeared with Richard Miller in the trance -- as it was known in 1993, that is -- duo Havana, which broke with a club hit named "Schtoom." Though the pair split, they continued releasing material separately on a co-owned label, Out [...]
Apparently Halloween Weekend means every band in the area is appearing as another band, could be entertaining or just confusing I guess we'll have to check them out to find the answer. On Thursday you can go to TTs and see the Talking Heads, Robert Palmer x 2, The Replacements and The Who. Or you could go to the Plough for the surf band The Trabants and the Middle East has King Khan & the BBQ Show and Downbeat 5. On Friday the Armory in Somerville has a spooky event with the screening of Phantom of the Opera and music [...]
Like New Year's Eve , Halloween is another holiday that a lot of bands choose to celebrate in style. There's just something about mixing the live concert experience with all the fun and choas of Halloween that really brings out the freaks. While most bands typically play into the Halloween vibe in some way, touring bands often approach Halloween as an opportunity to really create a unique live music event. Just as we did with our New Year's Eve concert round-up , we've compiled a list of Halloween concerts that will be going on this weekend (see below [...]
The NBA Season is still young and TSS is keeping the ball in play. We hit you off with the West , now it's time to bicker about the Eastern Conference Standings. The East is has a top heavy talent pool but it's full of compelling storylines that'll keep you tuned in. The Celtics are back, healthy and ready for another run at the chip. Meanwhile LBJ is still climbing for the mountain top while Orlando knows what it takes to get there. But screw all that serious stuff. Gilbert Arenas is back ladies and gentlemen. Who knows what [...]
The NBA is ready to launch another Donaghy-free season and we couldn't be happier. TSS is kicking things off with the Western Conference and we'll swing out East in the ensuing preview. All eyes are on Kobe and QB's finest small forward in Ron Artest to repeat for LA. Don't get us started on Lamar and Sasquatch Kardashian. On the other end of the spectrum Blake Griffin is due for some posters and looks to be a shoe in for Rookie of the Year. Greg Oden has another year to prove he's not a modern day Sam Bowie and AI [...]
Kowloon Walled City 's new record is called Gambling on the Richter Scale , which is both a homage to their San Francisco roots and an introduction to their sound. Taking a page from bands like Unsane and local heroes Neurosis , the quartet specializes in mammoth, down-tuned riffs - slabs of tectonic impact that seem summoned from the San Andreas fault itself. Built around bassist Ian Miller's monstrous tone and the sheer amperage marshaled by guitarists Scott Evans and Jason Pace, the band is undergirded by Jeff Fagundes' heavy-handed drumming and brought [...]
Last week, I told you about Scott Miller's new single "Lo Siento, Spanishburg WVa." Scott is selling downloads of the song on his website to help raise funds for his next studio recording. This is the first in what should be a series of such downloadable tracks. Scott has also created a video for his new song. You can watch it here and see more of Scott's videos on his YouTube page .
