The Atlantic chronicles Salman Rushdie's artistic decline since the fatwa. Before the fatwa, Salman Rushdie wrote two great books, Midnight’s Children (1980) and Shame (1983). Since the fatwa, he has not written any. Before the fatwa, Rushdie brilliantly exposed the corrupt dynasties and pathologies of two sundered societies (India and Pakistan). Since the fatwa, Rushdie has allowed flamboyant language and narrative trickery to overshadow biting political satire and acute characterization. Before the fatwa, Rushdie lived a relatively modest life in London. Now, as Joseph Anton drearily attests, Rushdie has become a New York socialite [...]
The Drums' frontman Jonny Pierce has announced that he has a solo album in the works. He has just released a video for his debut solo track, "I Didn't Realise". It has the same synth-nature to it as The Drums, with more of an emphasis on Jonny's vocals. Songs like "In The Cold" hinted at this type of work, and if you like the bare nature of some of The Drums work, then you should be ready to enjoy this song quite a bit. Pierce wrote, produced, and recorded the album entirely by himself. [...]
After over a decade in the music industry, first as the frontman of UK buzz band The Dumdums and then stateside as a solo artist in Nashville, Josh Doyle has released his full-length solo debut this week (iTunes). The self-titled album resulted from sessions with Grammy Award-winning producer John Shanks (Van Halen, Melissa Etheridge), who was initially slated to record an EP with Doyle after he won the title of "the nation's top undiscovered singer-songwriter" from Guitar Center 's first-ever singer-songwriter competition. Shanks was so impressed by Josh that he convinced [...]

Here’s a little heads up on the debut solo release from Alixander III on Get The Curse Music . Unless you’ve had your head buried in some sorta soundproof chamber—scratch that, even those of you living in a cave for the last couple of years—chances are Azari & III , the production duo from Toronto, rings a bell. If you like things dark (I do!) and edgy (ditto!) this is one nasty EP. Discerning DJs will surely appreciate what’s going on here. For those that fall for the clichés of mainstream dance music, grab your sack, get some [...]
