After spending most of the ’90s failing to bull their way out of the local scene, Nashville power-pop foursome The Shazam developed some real momentum at the start of the ’00s, drawing international attention with the booming, crazily catchy albums Godspeed The Shazam and Tomorrow The World . And then… silence. Prior to the new album Meteor , The Shazam hadn’t released any...

O ne of the first songs I really loved was Sweet Dreams (Are Made of These) by the Eurythmics. I'd grown up listening to the Electric Light Orchestra, and little else. When Sweet Dreams charted in 1983 (I was 10) the song hit me like a tidal wave. It was one of those watershed songs. I remember coming back from a school camping trip and everybody was singing this song, it felt like I'd missed a massive...

All this reminiscing around the career of the mighty ELO got me musing about something. Is Jeff Lynne basically the single luckiest/most fulfilled bloke in the entire history of rock music? Let's look at the evidence... Here's Jeff, a member of an obscure Brummy beat combo who's grown up being heavily influenced by a range of artists, each of which have blended to form a part of his musical DNA. There's...

Quote of the Week : What, like the first rule of Perv Club is no talking about Perv Club. (Ronnie - Mercy ) Song of the Week : Evil Woman – Electric Light Orchestra (as sung by Jeff, Community ) Big News of the Week : Hank and Eastwick: Dead and Dead : Not that I care. And neither of the show showed up the list of The Best New Shows of Fall 2009 that I released earlier this week. And some of...

To be honest, I am not a music journalist; I am not even a writer. What I am is a teacher who loves music and has been lucky enough to talk to musicians sometimes. Like today, I had the opportunity to talk to one of my favorite musicians, Jason Lytle . Remember Grandaddy ? I sure as hell do! They were on heavy rotation during many road trips driving through these great states. Grandaddy has a sound...

Watchmen is no Lord of the Rings, it is true, but it is a bloody close call. What it is, is a slap in the face to every comic book movie ever made. You can keep your Spiderman, your X-Men, even your Dark Knight, Watchmen outclasses any caped hero movie yet made with every single frame. I feel justified, given Alan Moore's work, despite his weirdness, in saying that Watchmen is like seeing the best...
