Offset Festival Day One - 04 September 2010
Teeth!!! (photo Wyldman)     This is not going to be a definitive report on the 2010 Offset Festival. For starters, over the two days I saw over fifty acts that I LIKED to varying degrees. And I couldn’t be everywhere, despite trying my best. Things get off to a rollicking start on Saturday with Hull’s The Neat on the Main Stage. Much angular guitar and the first instance...
Amanda Palmer - Union Chapel 11th September 2009
Amanda Palmer by Martyn Foster It’s sometimes hard to time your entrance into a venue, particularly if you have not been there for a while. I have not been to the Union Chapel for probably more than a decade, so when I arrive at around 7.45 and am ushered upstairs I do not think anything of it. As it turns out I am among what at this point are only a handful of folk who have...
Everyday is Like Sunday, Except for Blue Monday and Ruby Tuesday, and...Well, Friday I'm in Love: Weekly Mix #46
Here’s the last weekly mix of the year - not including the next three Sundays’ weekly mix round-ups of course. It’s also the fifth and last collection of cover versions for 2008. It’s hard to believe this is number 46 already. Without really thinking, this compilation turned out to lean about 50% into the post-punk/new wave direction (I guess that the odds are that...
It’s not for the cock, it’s for album of the decade #10
Although now quite comfortably (actually, is anyone comfortable during The Great Freeze of 2010?) into the next decade, it’s still cool to talk about the last decade of music. And if it’s not cool, then hopefully we get away with being so uncool that we’re actually quite cool. And if that doesn’t happen, then I don’t want to be cool anyway. Where am I? Yes. Albums...
Bands that I did not listen to in 2k8
At the beginning of 2k8, I made a post about bands I did not listen to in 2k7. Now it is 2k9, and I will make a list of bands that I did not listen to in 2k8. It is important to understand that you are a consumer in a wide open marketplace. You allegedly have tons of options, with lots of music 2 listen 2. However, it is important 2 recognize that u usually ‘judge a band by itz name...

Envelopes
Rainbow Coloured Pop Rocks Swedish post-pop band Envelopes sound like they could be The Books’ bastard younger brother or Architecture In Helsinki’s inbred cousin or BFFs with The Zookeepers. Their experimental music is delivered with the kind of wide-eyed imaginings of a child colouring with marbled rainbow-swirl crayons. The band formed in 2005 after singer/guitarist/keyboard...
The Knife, Mt. Sims and Planningtorock - Colouring Of Pigeons
Presumably the result of spending too much time hanging out in lightless Arctic caves, The Knife’s new project finds them translating Charles Darwin’s "The Origin Of Species" into an electro-pop opera that mimics the learning of birdsong. Quite the undertaking, I’m sure you’ll agree, but with the help of Mt. Sims and Planningtorock, Karin Dreijer Andersson and...
Field Music Presents: The Week That Was | Mercury Lounge | 3.09.2009
As should be done when touring any concept album, The Week That Was is played in its entirety, in order, with barely a quip in between songs. Though when it’s done, Brewis says, sheepishly, "Well, that was ‘The Week That Was.’" While the record, a 32 minute ode to Paul Auster, the media and ’80s production, is lush with strings and other accoutrements, here it...
The Decemberists: covers archive
photo: Autumn DeWilde     You Ain’t No Picasso has put together a collection of dozens of covers played by The Decemberists and their lead singer Colin Meloy. They take on Pink Floyd, The Velvet Underground, Cheap Trick, Kate Bush and lots, lots more. MP3: The Decemberists - Echoes (live @ The Vic, Chicago, IL - 2007/10/28) MP3: The Decemberists - I’m Sticking With...

Kate Bush Reviews

Grizzly Owls - I Am A Shootist
A husband and wife duo releasing an EP? It always seems a bizarre concept to me to be involved in a band with someone you’re that close to, but must make for an interesting in-group dynamic. The Andreottis are the ‘Grizzly Owls’, and have just recently released this four track EP off their own backs, and it makes for some pleasant listening. Title track ‘I Am A...
STRUMMERVILLE'S UNSIGNED HEROES
Venue: The Comedy Cafe, Shoreditch Teaser: Unsigned Heroes is a competition to find the UK’s best unsigned talent, and seeing as it’s set up by the Joe Strummer Foundation For New Music, we’d expect it to deliver too! Polly Rappaport reports… Pull quote 2: There’s more Ziggy Stardust glitter makeup than Bowie himself would have been able to cope ...
