And This Little Piggy Went...
2007-10-24 13:45:00
Oink has gotten the treatment that Dead Flowers will probably get someday. You have to love the record industry--can't have people enjoying music, can we? This from The Guardian:British police have closed down what they claim is one of the world's largest music piracy websites after a two-year pan-European operation. A series of raids in Middlesbrough and Amsterdam resulted in the arrest of a

Why's This Bus Taking Me Back Again?

Writing in The Guardian, Alan McGee thinks we should give Ride their due:With the resurgence of shoegaze - or nu-gaze - and Panda Bear, Animal Collective, Deerhunter and No Age all referencing them as an influence in interviews, I feel it's time to look back at one of the all-time underrated Creation bands, Ride. In '91, Ride had the critical and commercial world at their feet. Their full-length

Mortgage Rock
2007-05-10 12:49:00
Alexis Petridis writes in the Guardian:What has been the predominant musical sound during Tony Blair's premiership? You might disagree, but I'd plump for what one critic recently dubbed mortgage rock: the portentous, wistful, stadium-filling, ballad-heavy, post-Britpop genre that gets played in the background when an English team gets knocked out of an international sporting tournament, or an unsuccessful X-Factor hopeful collapses weeping into the arms of Kate Thornton. In fairness, it wasn't really around when Blair took office, although the records that influenced it were: Wonderwall, OK Computer, The Drugs Don't Work. For the entirety of this decade it's been, for better or worse, the sine qua non of British rock: you would think the record-buying public would be sick of it by now, seven years after Coldplay's debut, but no. They keep buying it: it was Snow Patrol, not the Arctic Monkeys, who made the best-selling album of last year.What does its predominance tell you abou...

A Short History of the Smiths
2007-05-09 13:00:00
From the Guardian: Morrissey - so much to answer forSean O'HaganSunday May 6, 2007The ObserverTwenty-five years ago this month, a bequiffed 18-year-old called Johnny Maher turned up unannounced at the door of 384 King's Road, a nondescript terraced house in Stretford, Manchester. 'It was a sunny day, about one o'clock,' he recalled years later. 'There was no advance phone call or anything. I just knocked and he opened the door.''He' was Steven Patrick Morrissey, then a 23-year-old misfit who inhabited the fringes of Manchester's fragmentary postpunk music scene. Morrissey had already tried his hand at being a writer, sending live rock reviews to Record Mirror, penning non-fiction books for a small publisher, Babylon Books, (a homage to James Dean, a tract on his favourite group, the New York Dolls) and even sending unsolicited scripts for episodes of Coronation Street to Granada Television. His fitful attempts at rock stardom had been even less successful, and had all but ...

NME's Love to Admire
2007-05-03 13:16:00
NME has had a listen to the new Interpol album:‘Pioneer To The Falls’Sinister notes, picked out on a knife-edge guitar immediately transport us back into Interpol’s nighthawk world. However with a delicate piano and Paul Bank’s mile-wide vocals, this almost bluesy stomper heralds a warmer record as the lyrics contemplate nature and what “the soul can take�.‘No I in Threesome’Beginning with menacing bass, driving guitars unexpectedly deliver a surprisingly jaunty tune. Sounding optimistic, the chorus even contains a jokey pun: “babe it’s time we give something new a try/ alone we may fight/ so let us be three tonight�.‘The Scale’Dominated by Daniel Kessler’s hammering guitar, the song scales up and down with an un-nerving precision as the words find Interpol in a vengeful mood. “You think you know us now wait until our stars come out� warns Banks before adding “I made you now I take you back�.‘The Heinrich Maneuver’The working title has made th...

Exactly on the Verge
2007-05-03 12:50:00
Congratulations go out to Foreign Born, who have signed a record deal:Holy SHIT! Foreign Born signed a record deal! Yes, it's happened folks, meaning that the self-releasing days of hanging out at Kinko's are over (hopefully), but you never know, that place has a strange, time-sucking magnetism about it..As of a day or two ago, not long before going on stage in support of the Walkmen, we signed with Dim Mak, for an August 21st release date of "On the Wing Now". I personally signed it on the hood of my car (every contract I've signed (2) has been on a car somehow) and the rest of the guys, I think signed on a bar..anyway, so that's that. We added a song to the mix - "Don't Take Back Your Time", for those of you who got the advanced copy, and took one off - "We Had Pleasure".For the art, we found this painter named Paul Urich, who's currently showing at the Eleanor Harwood Gallery in San Francisco, who let us use his painting "Together". It looks great, thanks again Paul!Other t...

Thoughts OnThe Veils: Nux Vomica
2007-05-01 16:15:00
The Veil s are basically a vehicle for New Zealander Finn Andrew's songwriting. On 2004's "The Runaway Found", he distinguished himself in a crowded post-Buckley field with a clear knack for hooks and passionate vocal performances. Songs like "The Wild Son" and "The Tide That Left and Never Came Back" were compelling and radio-ready at the same time. When an American tour and greater fame beckoned, Finn did what any self-respecting indie rocker would do: he promptly sabotaged the whole thing. Sacking the rest of the Veils members, he headed out on an acoustic tour. With the exception of a notable performance for KEXP, the promotional rounds would end with a whimper, not a bang."Nux Vomica", released last year in Europe, represents our first taste of the 'new-and-improved' Veils. Apparently tired of being shoehorned into a more traditional indie guitar format, Andrews has brought in keyboards to pick up the melodic lines and the stunning Sophia Burn to give the songs a sweet...
