How goes the Blue comeback? Given their role on ITV2's Big Reunion, and their swaggering refusal to play more than handful of the related gigs on account of being too famous, things must be sweet for them, right? Apparently not : BOYBAND Blue have gone bust — in the middle of a massive comeback tour. Band members Antony Costa, Duncan James, Lee Ryan and Simon Webbe have called in administrators for their company Blueworld Ltd. It's hard to believe an act who were 11th in Eurovision just two years ago could be [...]

Big Wave | Goldmine Our favourite home-county heroes return with another juicy slice of sunshine on new single Goldmine.  Released on a staggeringly-hot chrome cassette via Art Is Hard , it's further justification of our statement that Big Wave  are one of the finest new bands these shores has to offer. Urgent, energetic and brilliantly realised; Goldmine is GOLD. * MONEY | Bluebell Fields The first single [...]

Head to "Blueball Fields" with Manchester's MONEY. Having signed to Bella Union after two limited edition 73 singles last year, Manchester-based quartet MONEY are currently putting the finishing touches to their much-anticipated debut...

'Money' are one of those bands that manage to maintain an elusive aura, even amongst the hype. After signing to Bella Union records last year, the Manchester four piece have since put out two incredibly limited 73 singles, whilst becoming synonymous around the country for their strangely brilliant live shows in odd locations. Their sound lies in the dreamier, more psychedelic end of the pop spectrum, possessing undenia bly spiritual qualities through their incorporation of a wide range of influences. As Money prepare to release their debut album at the end of the summer, they have released the video for the first single [...]

Escucha el nuevo sencillo de MONEY, "Bluebell Fields" MONEY es un grupo de Manchester que surgió de las mismas alcantarillas que WU LYF y con la misma intriga que este último. En un principio de hacían llamar Meke Menete , luego dieron a conocer algunos videos para atraer más la atención del público, y posteriormente lanzaron un par sencillos 7 pulgadas. Recientemente tuvieron una grandiosa sesión en The Amazing Radio con Simon Raymonde - quien recientemente [...]

MONEY es el proyecto de cuatro mancunianos con un prometedor debut en ciernes, todo bajo el prestigioso sello Bella Union . Un material que ya dispone de un nuevo adelanto, el videoclip del tema “Bluebell Fields” , cuya dirección corre a cargo de Dan W. Jacobs.

Almost a year ago we tagged Manchester's M O N E Y as Ones To Watch , describing them as " From the outside  M O N E Y  may come across as pretentious and aloof, but I very much doubt these guys care too much. I’m sure they are more than happy to continue to confound, intrigue and enchant all those who take the time to listen to their complex and haunting music. ", and in that time not a thing has changed. Since then they've performed a couple of live sessions [...]

"Money can't buy it," Annie Lennox once sang (on the best track on Diva , her 1992 debut solo album). To be fair, according to Annie, neither can sex, drugs or you . (Keep reading after the video.) In 1964, 28 years earlier, The Beatles had taken the limited purchasing power of funds a bit further: "Money can't buy me love," the Fab Four insisted on their fourth No. 1 hit in the U.S and according to Rolling Stone magazine at one point, the 289th greatest song [...]

Rapidly working their way through a host of un-google-able band names such as "Youth" and "Books" Bella Unions latest signing seem to have finally settled on "Money", and this is their new video for future album track “Bluebell Fields”. Comparisons are being made to the likes of early Verve records and with the elusive nature of this Manchester outfit so far, the late summer release date for their debut record is already a highly anticipated one. It’s also worth taking a listen to their recent session with Amazing Radio to further appreciate the emotional capacity of their beautiful [...]

MONEY - Bluebell Fields Manchester based band MONEY , after having signed to Bella Union Records , are currently putting the finishing touches to their debut album, due to release for late summer. Bluebell Fields is the first single, a striking psych folk experience filled with all these colorful emotions to make you wanna fly above a field of roses! A little masterpiece that unfolds its unlimited potentials second by second, making truly sense with the above video of abstract and blurry images controlling your [...]

MONEY , at least until now, have dealt almost exclusively in despair and sorrow. There’s beauty in every minute aspect of their work, remembering every girl and every boy you’ve ever loved, but it all seems to be born out of a very real sense of agony.  Bluebell Fields , is remarkable in so many ways, but its great successes come from its subtle detachment from what MONEY made such great strides to build. It is the first breath of a new life and it tastes really fucking good. MONEY [...]

Photo by Julien Bourgeois Welcome news today that Manchester four piece MONEY are prepping their debut LP ('for sometime this summer'), with new track "Bluebell Fields" being the latest cut from it (see the previous  "Who's Going To Love You Now" , amongst others). continue reading >>

Signed to Bella Union this Manchester-based quartet will blow your weave off and save your Wednesday. Head off on a post-shoegaze pre-lunch journey via the MONEY and their majestic new video BLUEBELL FIELDS .

MONEY make us fall in love with them once more with Bluebell Fields , the first new song in little over a year and the first taste of their forthcoming debut full-length on Bella Union. The band have their guitars ghost over an ambient soundscape, creating a hazy and romantic atmosphere that sounds both rough and polished. Kind of reminds us of that brilliant Exquisite Corpse EP from Warpaint. Impossible to deny its beauty, matched by a video directed/animated by  Dan W. Jacobs .

A pair of University of Michigan economists decided to find out if there was any truth to the adage "money can't buy happiness." After gathering data from participants in 150 different countries, Betsey Stevenson and Justin Wolfers found that for both the rich and the poor, as income increases, so does happiness and well-being. And if you've ever wondered why billionaires can never stop raking in the dough, that's because one can never have too much money - thus happiness - according to the economists. "While each additional dollar of income yields a [...]

I do. I miss radio. I miss the days where we didn't have 'instant' access to everything. There was an anticipation hearing a favourite band's new song for the first time. Or a new song that just grabbed you. Those days are gone. Alan Cross posted this radio show that Johnny Rotten from The Sex Pistols did back in 1977. Yes. Olden times. Listen for awhile. You may know some of the songs, you may not. But this was a beautiful moment. Access to someone many [...]

If you think you understand the disparity between the rich and the working class and the poor, you are sadly mistaken. Watch this video and judge for yourself. So. Does this make you angry? It should. I know from personal experience, as do most of you, that there is a no upward movement at all anymore. What little raises most of us get are in the range of 1-2% at best. And most of us don't get regular raises at all. [...]

Sir Michael Rocks lançou hoje a versão completa da faixa Money Came . Apesar da preview ter saído com vídeo e tudo na semana passada, a música não vai fazer parte do seu novo projeto. Intitulada BANCO , a mixtape ainda não tem data de lançamento prevista.

Interesting piece over at All Things D on the economics of YouTube - which we could summarise as 'once again, the music industry is surprised to discover that playing songs to people one-at-a-time isn't going to make anyone rich': The dollars programmers earn from YouTube’s ad-selling efforts range widely. But many big publishers say that after YouTube takes its 45 percent cut of the ads it sells, they frequently end up keeping about $2.50 for every 1,000 views their clips generate — that is, if their video generates a million views, they get $2,500. Other publishers [...]

If you've been around Musicgoat for any length of time you'll know I'm a huge fan of promoting my music with Earbits  streaming online radio. Well things are starting to get even better over there. Yesterday they are adding a little gamification  to their platform via social currency called "Groovies" (love that name) to help encourage listeners to promote music they hear on on Earbits. I'll let them explain: Groovies is the first social currency that allows consumers to earn unlimited on-demand access to ad-free streaming music by [...]
