Video Killed The Radio Star
Here are the videos that have caught my attention this week… Clinic Bubblegum If you like cats in dresses, dancing sweetcorn and giant knickerbocker glories then you will love this beautifully balmy new promo for my fellow scousers Clinic by award winning directors Alasdair Brotherston & Jock Mooney… Clinic - Bubblegum from Alasdair & Jock on Vimeo.

Wildlife: Anti-hibernation
Welcome to Wildlife. My sporadic little space of the interweb dedicated to observations and investigations into the behaviours, diets and habitats of musicians. Expect comment on new breeds, intelligence, mating calls and rituals along with the odd warning of extinction all written by me, Susie Wild. I know, it is brilliant, what I’ve done there, isn’t it? First up:  Move over...
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...
Everyday is Like Sunday, Except for Blue Monday and Ruby Tuesday, and...Well, Friday I'm in Love: Weekly Mix #49
While basing an entire mix on song titles with colours in them may seem like a cop-out, I would like to offer a little more commentary than pointing out that many bands put colours into their band names and song titles. In fact, I’m quite fascinated by the involuntary neurological phenomena of colour synesthesia in which a person can see colours in response to aural stimuli, most often...
"If you don't know what's happening, just ask the person next to you": The Clash's Live at Shea Stadium
There are times when I actually forget how much The Clash means to me. They were the first band to show me that music could be intelligent and political, but that it could also be worth rocking out to, too. I finally managed to buy a copy of Live at Shea Stadium, albeit two months after its release, and it caused all those feelings bound up in The Clash to come flooding back to me, nearly making...

Death Girls Talking
Deathline From: The North of London, United Kingdom   All Pics courtesy of Stew Ruffles   Gothic rockers Deathline (first featured on the Devil’s blog way back in 2007, Deathline) have taken time out from scaring the children and laying down tracks for their next, as yet untitled, album to share their thoughts with the Devil. To celebrate sharing their innermost thoughts...
Everyday is Like Sunday, Except for Blue Monday and Ruby Tuesday, and...Well, Friday I'm in Love: Weekly Mix #54
It’s been awhile since I’ve posted a cover versions mix (and I’ve felt a little harried this week with both the volunteering and freelance work), so here’s my rather lazy attempt. I would like to mention the War Child Heroes album since it’s being touted as "The Ultimate Covers Album." As per usual, War Child is releasing an album with proceeds going to...
It's A Rat Trap
The Hot Rats From: The Midlands, United Kingdom The Hot Rats are better known as two thirds of Britain’s much loved Britpop combo Supergrass. Gaz Coombes and Danny Goffey together with world renowned producer Nigel Godrich. Named after Frank Zappa’s album Hot Rats the duo released Turn Ons, an album of cover versions in the vein of David Bowie’s Pin Ups at the end of...
My Top 40 Albums of 2008: Numbers 8 Through 1
And so we’ve reached the end of this year’s journey through my top albums. Before we get into the top eight, I’ll try to sum up which albums released in the last few months of 2008. September brought offerings from Jenny Lewis, Mercury Rev, People in Planes, Butch Walker, No and the Maybes, Glasvegas, Santogold, Jon Ryman, Metallica, Chairlift, Kings of Leon, and a sophomore...

This week's singles!
Band name: Late of the Pier, ZZT (sadly not ZZ Top) , The Dead 60s, Alabama 3 Label: Various indie schmindies at a guess Teaser: Cindy Suzuki listens to a batch of singles, and then tells us what she thinks of them. Pull quote 2: For Gawds sake though lads, that verse is terrible. “You really don’t understand my madness!” Nope, I don’t. So just cut to the chorus ...
Burning the Box of Beautiful Things: Michael Bracewell's Re-Make/Re-Model
I’ve read a fair amount of band/artist biographies with varying amounts of interest(oddly enough, as much as I love the band Pulp, their 400-page biography by Mark Sturdy was one of the hardest to conquer). I stumbled upon Michael Bracewell’s 2008biography of Roxy Music, Re-Make/Re-Model: Becoming Roxy Music, by accident while looking for other Michael Bracewell books. You see, I...
30th Century Man
Director: Scott Walker Film company: Verve Pictures Teaser: Dave D takes a look into the 30th Century… Pull quote 2: This is largely to do with the fact that Scott is, for want of a better word, a bit of a nut job. First para: Whoa! Fucking creepy. This documentary charts the rise and fall and ‘return’ of Scott Walker, hailed by many as one of the most...
