Haiku Salut From: The Derbyshire Dales, Derbyshire, United Kingdom Haiku Salut are three winsome young lasses from the Derbyshire Dales who claim to be influenced by the Spice Girls which must be a joke because they are about as far from the Spice Girls as it's legally possible to be without having testicles and 5 o'clock shadow. They're the nice girls, sporty nice, posh nice and baby nice if you like. Vowels as Clear as Church Bells [...]

These are from a 78 rpm reissue (or, rather, later issue) of a 1929 Victor release, and it's in way better shape than my previous, original issue copy. Incredible performances, incredible pieces--the Victor Concert Orch., directed by Rosario Bourdon, with War Dance (Cheyenne) (from Suite Primeval ) and Shawnee Indian Hunting Dance . Here's to the original American warriors: War Dance; Shawnee Indian Hunting Dance [...]

Il frontman degli AC/DC Brian Johnson è stato costretto a cancellare il suo tour solista per sottoporsi a una non meglio specificata operazione chirurgica. Il cantante avrebbe dovuto girare gli Stati Uniti in dieci date a partire da febbraio 2012. Non si sarebbe però trattato di uno spettacolo solo musicale: nel tour Johnson avrebbe intrattenuto il pubblico anche raccontando aneddoti e ricordi della lunghissima sua carriera. Gli AC/DC sono attualmente "in pausa" dopo aver affrontato il titanico Black Ice World Tour , durato oltre due anni e impadronitosi del record di [...]
We recently spent the afternoon with the hugely talented Marissa Nadler whilst she was over promoting her recent self-titled album. Treating us to a candle-lit rendition of 'Salutations In The Dark' - a song that up until now has only been available via Nadler's Etsy store - we were left stunned and transfixed as Nadler and backing vocalist Cat Martino transformed what was an ordinary apartment bathroom located in the heart of London's upperclass Marylebone district into their own private space: with our camera the only witness. Until now.

Download: Malcom & Martin - Salute the Generals (prod by MasterKraftsmen) New music from Malcolm & Martin "Salute The Generals" produced by MasterKraftsmen. Life isn't simple. It isn't all a sparkling bling-bling fantasy of ostentatious gems, flowing champagne, and easy women. Nor is life all an endless collage of dishwater gray street corners, survival wounds, and exhaustive toil for blood money or indebted checks of servitude. Life is more because men are more than a fantasy or nightmare. Yet, few contemporary rap griots have [...]

"Take it in Blood is the most autobiographical record on my album. I wanted to give people little snapshots of the despair and violence I witnessed throughout my life, yet the song is still [...]
