Kuryakin : "Fought a War EP" (Fastcut) + "Still Here EP"& "Onie 7"" (Shelflife)Just when you think the well of great new Swedish bands must have dried up, another one comes along. Actually, that's not quite correct as far as (named after a character from the 60's spy series the man from U.N.C.L.E) is concerned, as they have been going since 2003 when Petter Gjöres and Johan Norberg began making music...

Great Irish Bands Part 20 - Virgin Prunes / Gavin Friday

Dublin Opinion (Free subscription) | 02/26/2008

It may be due to having recently lost my highly influential position as very minor management in the French prune industry but I’m often led to muse on prunes in musical history these days. On the famed ‘Nuggets’ compilation, we were treated to the garage abrasiveness of the Electric Prunes, you'll all recall. Frank Zappa [...]

Yes, my Oriental manservant Hop-Sing and I are off to our nation's capital, where I've been asked to brief Attorney General nominee Michael Mukasey on water sports. Why he doesn't know about pool polo (and why that's controversial) is beyond me, but apparently it's a gap in his education that may sink his nomination and we can't have that. So posting...

Electric Roulette (Free subscription) | 10/11/2007

'Incredibly, against the odds, 'Trip Thru Hell' actually manages to delivers on everything the sleeve promises.
