There's been quite a bit of chatter across the site the last few days about compilation CDs, catching up with artists you'd never quite got found to listening to etc. As I was browsing iTunes this morning I came across, again, a series of 5-track downloadable EPs from the redoubtable Rhino label. I've bought a few in my time and was tempted by a few classic Dave Edmunds tracks when I thought "This...

Don't call it a comeback. I've been quiet but I've been here. Regular visitors to this site will recognise all of these here tunes as ones that I've featured in the last couple of months but look at what I've done. Niftily like, I've packaged them all together and added a smidgen of my (far from) dulcet tones. Voilà the Diddy A-Go-Go podcast. mp3: Diddy A-Go-Go The Kinks - Till The End Of The...

Coming on like Brian Wilson clad in the leathery hide of Captain Beefheart, the five young men of Hermit Thrushes have no problem gutting indie rock and playing gleefully with its innards. On the Philly group's two full-lengths, Slight Fountain and Benaki , it uses a mostly conventio...

Sunday’s Observer had three pages about Patti Smith – an interview, and an extract from her book Just Kids, which is published in the UK today. I thought this was a lot of coverage for someone who most Observer readers won’t have heard of, and assumed that someone at the paper was a fan and was just pleased to have the chance to publish her. I would have thought the potential readership...

Do kids in the US play with little plastic colored beads that can be fused together into elaborate shapes with a common household clothes iron? Do you know the German for "common household clothes iron?" It is "bügeleisen." Now you know how I'm spending my Saturday with my girls. I wonder if Captain Beefheart knew this. Then he could have changed the words to one of his songs...

FUTUREFLASH / Flashback Flashforward CD / Freakwave Records / 2010 This is the fun stuff that flipped out hippies come up with, and I’m thumbs up. Wild, unpredictable, and full of creative energy that cannot be repressed. Don’t look for slick pop songs here, but for experimental improvisational stuff it’s very listenable. SOUNDS LIKE: SUN RA, CAPTAIN BEEFHEART, [...]

Fred Mills at Blurt decided to make my long discursive review of a Tin Huey compilation (not exactly a reissue, since it was all new versions of things) into a feature, which is kind of cool. A bit of it: Lots of very strange bands have come from Ohio - proto-punks like Dead Boys and Pere Ubu, conceptual new wavers like Devo. Still none was stranger than Tin Huey, whose baroque conglomeration of jazzy...

Decent Wii Games can seem as hard to find as a dratini in a pond full of Magikarp but Little King’s Story is a sadly oft-overlooked gem that is well worth adding to your collection, especially now it is available for such a bargain price. As part of The Hut’s daily deal, it’s on offer for [...] Dealspwn UK Games Deals: Little King’s Story £9.73 @ The Hut [Wii Games]

Head’s up on a couple things this coming week that caught my eye: WPRB’s Marvin Rosen is doing a special edition of his Classical Discoveries radio show this Wednesday, Jan. 27th. From 5:30 until 11:00 AM EST. Titled “East Meets West“, the entire five-and-a-half hours will be devoted to works by Middle and Far Eastern Composers, [...]

Seriously. How can you not love a song called “Wham Bam Thank You Ma’am”? A decade before David Bowie made it rock & roll vernacular; Charles Mingus featured a track named for a phrase he attributed to Max Roach on a classic album whose other song titles include “Eat That Chicken” and “Oh Lord, Don’t [...]

SMEGMA / Rumblings CD / Hanson Records / 2004 Here traditional garage/surf rock is melded with some electronic sonic madness to create a musical mélange that sounds truly otherworldly. Familiar and unfamiliar at the same time, but more rockin’ than most noise-fests. SOUNDS LIKE: CAPTAIN BEEFHEART, NO DOCTORS, WOLF EYES SUGGESTED TRACKS: 2 “Worms” (like a spastic CAPTAIN BEEFHEART)...
