Call Of The Wyld: Live Review Of The Year - 2009
The Farrs - Band Of The YearAs ever it has been a busy year. Many gigs attended, many strange sights seen. Most of it has been documented on this site, but incredibly, some of it hasn’t, such as a breathtaking show by The Decemberists at the Forum.The band played their ‘Hazards of Love’ album in full, with guest vocalists, a version of ‘The Rakes’ Song battered out on five drumkits, and even the...
Passion Pit
A little bit behind the times on this one, and possibly redundant as a consequence, but a new Passion Pit track debuted on Pitchfork the other day. More importantly, it’s actually rather good. And even more insanely, another track appeared online and is also good fun. Such was my shock that I decided to make this blog post rather than post a little [Twitter] update. I really had Passion Pit...
David Byrne at Royal Festival Hall - 13th April 2009
The choice of venue can be important. It’s about getting the balance right between a space being suitable for a performer to put on their optimum show and an environment that allows the audience to get maximum enjoyment from that performance. So, while saying from the outset that tonight’s show by David Byrne at the Royal Festival Hall is an absolute unqualified triumph, the...
The 9's Have It: Historical Reasoning Why 2009 Will Be A Great Year for Music
Inspired By Tim Duffy 2008 was a shit year for music. With the economy falling down around us, the music industry continued to crumble under the pressure of the internet…falling down, down, down and barely even pulling in a cent (or so they would like you to believe). Bands inspired by the few cash cows we have left aped and copied their way through records. Folks were led to believe...

Talking Heads MP3s

Kenseth Thibideau
Imaginary Insomnia Sleeping People, Rumah Sakit and Three Mile Pilot are three of Kenseth Thibideau’s more famed projects, but it’s his first solo album that is creating all the excitement right now. Due for release on July 20, Brooklyn Vegan recently previewed a few tracks. The two songs come across shady and skin tight with a thin Krautrock lining; one spelling M-A-T-H rock with a...
EXCLUSIVE NEW DOWNLOAD: Wild Palms - Over Time + sniTch Remix
North London’s Wild Palms are scrappy self-starters whose tropical-concrete-post-punkish single “Over Time” gives our weak winter hearts a reason to keep on beating. But the sniTch rinse kind of makes our chests seize up with nasty industry, as thin air echoes and danceable waves bang up against our organs with each clip. Below, stream the original and download the hurt; and...
DOWNLOAD: Dirty Projectors - Knotty Pine (With David Bryne)
One of the bright spots in my overpopulated RSS reader is David Byrne’s reguarly-updated blog. If you’ve never been there, go take a look. There are no pictures of stuff you can’t afford and the writing is unsurprisingly insightful and informative, so when this track between Byrne and Brooklyn’s weirdo-pop deans Dirty Projectors surfaced yesterday from Red Hot’s...
Talking Tiger - My Tiger My Timing interview
Anna from London popsters My Tiger My Timing has taken time off from exercising her vocal chords to give the Devil’s blog an insight into her influences, the strangest place the band have played and her tips for saving money. The Devil: Why My Tiger My Timing? What other names did you ponder before deciding on this? Anna: ‘My Tiger, My Timing’ is a song by the New York...
