(Originally Posted on Timeforheroes.net in 2004) Through a mutual acquaintance, Timeforheroes.net was fortunate enough to start a correspondence with Paul Dufour, aka Mr. Razzcocks. The original Libertines drummer, Paul's work can be heard on the 'Legs 11' demo. These days, Paul stays busy with a number of recording projects. Here are some highlights from our correspondence: You've been playing

Thoughts on:
Arcade Fire--Neon Bible
2007-03-14 00:00:00
I came to the Arcade Fire late, which means that I missed the barrage of hype that "Funeral" received, but also missed the live performances that made people so excited in the first place. With that in mind, I think it's easy to let the band's creative instrumentation and live energy cloud one's judgment. In the end, the Arcade Fire are just a rock band, and should be evaluated as such. Strip a

Are Record Shops Museums?
2007-03-13 00:00:00
Alan McGee apparently thinks so: When was the last time you went into a record shop? It was about a month ago in Tokyo for me. It was a boutique type of establishment, a bit like Rough Trade - it had vinyl and all the hip releases. Yet it still felt like a museum. All the music I want I can get off Amazon or go on MySpace to hear. There's no real need for record shops any more. It's the same

The always brilliant BBC Collective has an interview up with David Lynch, who discusses his latest head-scratcher "Inland Empire ": ?A woman in trouble?. That?s as far as David Lynch is prepared to elaborate on the subject of his latest film, Inland Empire . Lynch has always resisted interpreting his own multi-layered, surreal dreamscapes but his reticence here makes more sense than ever, because

Amiina Ready New Album
2007-03-08 02:10:08
From their official site:Dear all,Finally our debut album, Kurr, will be allowed to wander off into the big world. It will happen on March the 21st, but pre-orders have already started. We do hope it brings you joy!This first run is a little bit special, as it is released by our own Bláskjár Records. For now the album will only be available at our shows and in our webstore. But we're talking to some people who want to make it more widely available, so by this summer it will hopefully have travelled to most decent record stores around the world. We'll give you news on all that later.But if you can't wait that long, come to our shows, or purchase it online (there are also some other new nice things there to buy)!

Dead Flowers Interviews Matt from Foreign Born
2007-03-07 02:09:01
Matt Popieluch is the lead singer in Foreign Born, one of Los Angeles' very best bands. In the group, he's complimented by Ariel Rechtshaid's melodic bass playing, Lewis Pesacov's distinctive effects-laden guitar, and Garrett Ray's innovative drumming. They have had one proper release, the "In the Remote Woods" EP on Startime, and have had their debut LP "On the Wing Now" available to buy at shows for the past few months.I got in contact with Matt because "On the Wing Now" is the best LP I've heard in years, an unusually confident mix of rock influences that never retreats into nostalgia. While "In the Remote Woods" showed promise, "On the Wing Now" realizes the band's potential on songs like "In the Shape" and "Letter of Inclusion".Matt also performs solo under the moniker Big Search. Big Search's debut "Mysticism vs Classicism" was released in 2003. Dead Flowers : As I understand it, you recorded "On the Wing Now" without label support, and then shopped it around. Can...

Things That Suck #62: The Press Response to Lily Allen
2007-03-01 20:04:09
To hear otherwise respectable critics describe her, you would think Lily Allen were the second coming of rock, pop, you name it. Truth is, the pudgy singer got where she is thanks more to nepotism than dues paid, and there's nothing rock n' roll about that. While we're on the topic, let's mention that it's impossible to have a true grassroots, word-of-mouth campaign on the internet/myspace

Liam Meets Nelly

You know, you just can't beat Liam when it comes to a good Coldplay quote: Nelly Furtado was left hot and bothered after hooking up with her idols Oasis backstage at last Wednesday's (February 14) Brit Awards. The singer, who revealed she used to write the Gallagher brother letters when she was a teen such was her love, said being at the same bash as them was surreal. ?I was watching the show

Godspeed You! Black Emperor

Recently Pitchfork pompously declared, as is their wont, that hearing the Arcade Fire for the first time was like discovering a new musical language. If that's the case, then discovering God speed You! Black Emperor is like discovering a new musical planet. Like many others, I first heard of GYBE through Radiohead.
