tomorrow’s just a song away…

“This is believe me music, this is forget me music
This is who can love me you know, this aint no roxy music
This is new form music, this is old form music
This is i paid attention not some makes his prediction music
Oh he could let me use it”
Do you miss 80s powerpop? [...]

rising from the ashes of…

It was sad. Peter Hook posting on his MySpace that New Order were done, kaput and over. It was disheartening to read but at the same time, one almost felt a certain sigh of relief. Let’s be honest. The band was purely running on fumes on the last couple of records Get Ready & Waiting [...]

on a (much) lesser note…

Noel Gallagher, it appears dropped the bomb earlier today by walking out on Oasis. Needless to say that without Noel, there really is no Oasis. Sorry, Liam, I love ya but let’s be honest… Noel is and always has been the creative sparkplug of the band. As a fan since Supersonic, it’s my hope that [...]

it’s the sound of the atom splitting…

One of popular music’s least prolific bands are back. The kings of the Bristol sound, Massive Attack are releasing a digital EP 5 October which will include the brand new track unleashed today called Splitting The Atom. This one is a little different if you’ve spent the last near twenty years following this crew.  While [...]

With the release of the self-titled debut via Cherrytree/Interscope slated for 29 September, the duo are primed to bring their brand of analogue electronic pop to the State for [...]

erik hassle doesn’t want your flowers…

“When I’m gone, who are you to mourn?
No don’t touch me when I’m lying in my coffin.
Don’t stand there crying as you’re watching.
Don’t put no flowers by my final bed”
Straight out of Sweden with a bullet, it’s Erik Hassle. Never mind the fact he looks like he could play the part [...]

introducing. visitor.

Some more quality electronic pop coming out of England. Seems like a recurring trend. I swear there must be something in the water over in the UK. Today’s entrant is a duo from Leeds called Visitor. The song is called Too Far Gone, a solid midtempo number with a rollicking chorus that would work very [...]

thank heavens for little (rocker) girls…

Earlier this evening I did a wee hop, skip and a jump to a brand new DIY venue here in Da ‘Burg called Live From Shea Stadium affectionately titled after the recently torn down monstrosity in Flushing, Queens where my dearly beloved Metropolitans now play in Citi Field. Yes, I’m a jock. Deal.  So…the venue [...]

looks like our boy is growing up…

It’s about time.  Mr. Vincent Frank, better known to the world as Frankmusik is finally headed to the States as part of the Perez Hilton package tour which will also include Ida Maria,  NY’s own Semi-Precious Weapons and one of my faves, Ladyhawke! Here are the dates! Yeah!
