Featuring String Cheese Incident founder Bill Nershi and Melvin Seals collaborator Scott Law, Nershi-Law released the album Honkytonk Homeslice in 2005 and continue…
It took them a while, seven years to be more exact, but the trip-hop pioneering duo have finally come through and recently announced the follow-up to the somewhat disappointing 2003 “100th Window.” Massive Attack’s new album is titled “Heligoland” (named after the german Archipelago of Heligoland), and features guest vocals by Damon Albarn, TV on the Radio’s Tunde Adebimpe, Elbow’s Guy Garvey, Martina Topley-Bird, Hope Sandoval, and Horace Andy. The tracklist is only ten songs…
Guns N’ Roses | “There Was A Time” | 2008 Yes, I know how divisive Chinese Demoracy was. Unlike critics who were, let’s say, blinded by the audacity of this monumental clusterfuck, I actually found the album passable. Barely so, but passable nonetheless. In the review, I argued that the one saving grace of Democracy was the collection of slower, epic songs, as the rockers were basically, um, garbage. And of all the….compositions on the…
Pearse McGloughlin is a Sligo-born songwriter and musician, who served his time in a series of bands before deciding to fly it solo – taking in many locations along the way. Spells in Dublin, London, Canada and France have no doubt shaped his broad musical talents and acute observational lyrics, and with “Busy Whisper”, he has produced a perceptive and powerful debut that is sure to take him to many more far-flung destinations. This troubadour…
I know this is a bit late, considering it’s been almost three months since the Reading and Leeds festivals took place, but this high quality footage of Them Crooked Vultures playing “Elephants” live is just too good not to share. Homme is ripping it all the way delivering perfectly balanced guitar work, while also singing, John Paul Jones proves he lives up to the legend tied to his name keeping the bass line afloat with…
Although the Portland six piece, Loch Lomond, have been at it making marvelous music since 2003 now, it wasn’t until last year that I finally caught up with them and their incredible sound – stories of love, ups and downs, reminiscence and some other of life’s leitmotifs told through music. If I were to describe them, I’d go for a soundtrack of life of almost perfect orchestration, filled with a variety of instruments (clarinets, percussion,…
As previously reported, yesterday night American Dad was all about Louisville’s finest, My Morning Jacket. I didn’t get to see the full episode yet, but from the couple of teasers and short rips on youtube it looks damn hilarious. A lot more humorous than one would expect anyway, even though they had plenty of material to go work with. Bellow you can find a few YouTube clips of scenes from the last night’s American Dad…
If some of you became a bit disheartened upon news of TV on the Radio hiatus, know that Kyp Malone’s (vocals/guitar) debut solo album, released under the Rain Machine moniker, sounds and feels like a genuine TVotR record. Sure, it’s a deeply intimate and personal record, packed with influences and issues addressed by Kyp, but the vibe while spinning it is so strangely familiar that there isn’t any doubt in my mind – it’s TV…
While cycling through myspaces I came across this extraordinary band of such vigor and unprecedented mesmerizing sound the likes you see every couple of years, that simply engulfed me inside the thought that there are so many talented artists out there that wrongfully get little to no coverage. Hailing from Oxford, England, The band is question is called Little Fish and is comprised of vocalist/guitarist/principal songwriter JuJu, “a rail-thin force of nature (think Patti Smith…
