Best Coast's Bobb Bruno & Bethany Cosentino Hello everyone! Hope you all had a wonderful weekend. Far too many exceptional shows last week including last night's NO CANCER! Benefit show with No Age , Vivian Girls , Best Coast , Graham Forest , Darker My Love and more. I do believe Bethany from Best Coast 's performance as one of their most entertaining yet. [...]
2009 album from the Blues sensation. Produced, written, recorded and engineered by Seasick Steve (with the assistance of engineer Roy Williams), Man From Another Time is a resolutely organic album that eschews modern studio trickery in favour of the warm style of 'live' analogue recording. Everything on the album was performed by Seasick Steve, aside from drums which are credited to his

been staring ahead mushbrained and agog for chuffing hours now. lost in some hazy miasmic reverie of jumpcuts, collage and knotted burroughsian disjoint. trying to put this shit together like a thousand piece jigsaw 'cept all the pieces are in my head and each one's taken from a different picture. probably with the same look of slackjawed incomprehension colin firth no doubt displays when confronted with an emotion. yes egads! it's the new episode of hyperactivity from monsieur laurent gerard aka él-g.

You will not find anyone in the music business today who is more real than this back porch blues man. I don't know Steve's age. If I had to guess, I would say he is 135 years old. Granted, Man From Another Time is only his third album, but judging from his voice and his sound, this record was likely recorded by Alan Lomax. Actually, the album was produced, written, recorded, and engineered by Steve himself, exclusively using valve amps, ribbon mics, and an arsenal of stringed instruments either found by the side of the...
I'm thinking Ride when I hear the Norwich four piece Sennen : same insistent waves of guitar, same panorama of widescreen sound, same bittersweet shoegazing tunes. 'Age of Denial' (Hungry Audio) is vigorous dreampop, with the emphasis on the 'pop', both rousing and uplifting. Norfolk might be known for its turkeys but this is the dog's bollocks of shoegaze. Myspace Dorias Baracca are teenage Danish shoegazers and, on the evidence of the 'Hands At Melting Point EP' (Club AC30 Records), you can believe the claim that [...]
Scottish festival Rock Ness has announced that Leftfield are getting back together exclusively for a live show at the Loch Ness, Scottish Highlands festival which takes place on the 11th to the 13th of June 2010. Festival director Jim King had this to say: "We're been trying to get Leftfield to do some shows for years and now its actually going to happen. Ask any electronic bands who was an inspiration for them and Leftfield will always be listed. I was fortunate to see them live over 10 years ago and if [...]
- T'as vu ma collec de timbres ? - M'en fous... - Ah ben ça c'est agréable ! - M'en fous d'être agréable... - Euh... Mais il a des choses qui t'intéressent ? - Oui. - La politique ? La philosophie ? La littérature ? Quoi ? [...]
Le premier 45 tours de Is Tropical est sorti il y a une semaine. Et ? Et il est très bon. Mais ? Mais il y a un problème. Qui est ? Qui est que les deux faces sont très différentes l'une de l'autre, qu'il existe une vidéo pour chacune, et que je n'arrive pas à choisir laquelle mettre dans ce billet. La première est plus classique rock, la seconde plus électro bizarre. Et alors ? Et alors tant pis, je mets [...]
Elizabeth, you were born to play the part. But Seasick Steve was born to play his part too. The old-time rocker, like the kind that we've seen in so many outlaw movies. He fits that bill perfectly. And it's not just the way he looks and acts, it's the music too. It's phenomenal. I wonder why he wasn't cast in Jeff Bridge's Crazy Heart ? Seasick Steve is releasing a special Valentine's gift for his wife, Elisabeth, and luckily we all get to hear it. It has wonderful packaging, almost like a Valentine's Card, with the [...]
Bluesman Seasick Steve wrote a nice piece about blues legend Pinetop Perkins for Sunday's Observer in London.

Brace yourself, readers, for it's swiftly approaching that time of year again, when hoards of fans and paparazzi line the red carpet-laden entrance to Earls Court in order to catch the biggest stars in music attending the annual spectacle that is the BRIT Awards . Admittedly, last year's ceremony was an absolute flop, fronted by the drab 'comedic' duo that were Mathew Horne and James Corden. But still, it always proves interesting fun watching a half-cut Alex Turner tumbling round making sarcastic speeches to Kate Nash. So let's check out the recently announced [...]
New City have very kindly put together a little 2010 mixtape featuring all the artists they have worked with in the last 12 months or so.

Faded Paper Figures - [...]
SEASICK STEVE CONTINUES HIS UK INVASION AT 2010 BRIT AWARDS JOINING BEST INTERNATIONAL MALE SOLO ARTIST NOMINEES SPRINGSTEEN, EMINEM, JAY-Z AND BUBLE MAN FROM ANOTHER TIME OUT ON MARCH 30, 2010 New York - Seasick Steve received his second ever Brit Award nomination Monday night in London, UK for Best International Male Solo Artist. He finds himself in amazing A-list company with Bruce Springsteen, Eminem, Jay-Z, and Michael Buble being the other four nominees in the category. The Brit Awards will take place on February 16th at Earls Court in London. Ryko will [...]
The Swervedriver founder's marquee sound precedes him, but he also writes a mean song. IMAGE: Johnny Moto [PSYCH POP] Adam Franklin has always had his own sound. It was present even in the early days, when his band Swervedriver released its debut full-length, Raise, in 1991. The London group's hallmark distortion pedals and warbling guitar licks and frontman Franklin's queasy vocals combined to form a wall of sound that, while lumped into the shoegaze genre, was theirs alone. Fast-forward almost 20 years to his latest [...]
Los Brit Awards son, en mi opinión, uno de los premios más interesantes del mundo de la música . ¿Por qué? Bueno, básicamente porque considero que desde hace décadas que Gran Bretaña propone los mejores artistas, los mejores movimientos y los mejores estilos musicales. Pero no solamente por eso, sino que además los shows y presentaciones que se suelen dar en los Brit Awards son verdaderamente geniales y tienen una producción y, digamos, pasión que los caracteriza. Los premios se realizarán el 16 de febrero y estos son los nominados [...]
Christ on a Christmas cracker-the 2010 BRIT Award nominations are in! I can't believe it's time already for the ceremony to begin once again. It seems like only yesterday I was sitting in my bed watching in disbelief as Gaga robo-danced her way on stage with pieces of shattered china plates glued to her lady bits. Ahh , memories. As per usual ( see 2009 ), I've gone ahead and bolded my favorites for the crown and added a few insightful comments and/or snooty one-liners to the end of each category. [...]
The annual Brit Awards are set to take place on Feb. 16 at Earl's Court in London, and the nominations were announced last night (Jan. 18). There are few surprises among the list of artists lined up for the awards, but it's unlikely anyone was expecting a radical overhaul—the Brit Awards are as safe as the MTV Awards on this side of the Atlantic. Nevertheless, Animal Collective's Merriweather Post Pavilion has been thrown into the fray for Best International Album, meaning Avey Tare, Panda Bear and Geologist will be competing with Black [...]
Ve ne abbiamo parlato proprio ieri in occasione dell' annuncio del probabile duetto tra Lady GaGa e Susan Boyle : il prossimo 16 febbraio verranno proclamati i Brit Awards , uno dei premi europei più prestigiosi. La manifestazione, che si svolgerà al Earls Court Arena di Londra, compie trent'anni e festeggia con un cast stellare e una serie di esibizioni live che promettono di lasciare gli spettatori letteralmente stupefatti. Tra gli altri, un premio già assegnato è quello che verrà tributato a Robbie Williams come 'Outstanding Contribution'. La caratteristica che [...]
