Last week The B-52’s released Funplex, their first album in sixteen years. After three decades together, they haven’t lost it. We’ll discuss Funplex further at a later date, but right now we’re gonna go back a couple of records (and nearly 20 years).
It’s springtime, which means as the weather gets warmer the more often […]

In response to my Badfinger post from last month, Duke sent me this solo version of “Without You” that can be found on the Pete Ham collection Golders Green. Elegant minimalism and simplicity.

Springfield, MO: both the home of Americanized Cashew Chicken (yes, true) and Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin — both, also, very tasty. Pershing, SSLYBY’s sophomore album, is an uncomplicated, yet excellent, pop record - the kind that won’t leave your car’s stereo all Spring. Available April 8th via Polyvinyl Records.
Elsewhere: Brand new […]

Tuesday, while walking through the hallowed halls of Capitol Records’ studios, in Hollywood, surrounded by decades of recorded musical history, I had a conversation with a friend regarding album art: the power it can wield, and its demise over the past 20+ years, thanks to, first, compact discs, and more recently MP3s (guilty). This […]

The last time I heard The Kills was 2005’s No Wow which popped up on my radar and grabbed me with its dirty, minimalist swagger. I had apparently missed their first album, but it positioned them squarely with the equally squalling Raveonettes whose debut EP had surfaced about the same time as The Kills. […]

In 1995 and 1996 I was lucky enough to catch Morphine, live, three times during the Yes tour. Truly a club band if there ever was one, Morphine’s noir musical vision was all blue cigarette smoke, beat poetry and style. Below, J. Neas reflects on the last great Morphine album - […]

Is there an unfair, uphill battle that female artists face in rock and roll? The battle I refer to is the race to find another female artist with which to compare them to. While we certainly pull out the big, comparative guns for male-fronted rock bands, and solo artists, there isn’t quite the sheer vehemence […]
