We’ve posted several times this year about The Cordelier Club a group who have not yet gained any significant attention, and are unsigned. However the brother and sister led act have been worming away writing some stomping and catchy as hell middle of the road pop songs. Now, middle of the road may sound like a horrendous categorisation to throw at a band, but The Cordelier Club embrace a sound...
Former Fleetwood Mac guitarist Peter Green will play a couple of UK live dates in December. The bluesman will play shows in London and Wolverhampton which marks his return this year to the live scene after several years away from the limelight. Billed as "Peter Green & Friends" the band line-up will be... Peter Green – lead vocals/ lead guitar/harp Mike Dodd – vocals/rhythm...
Much like sex , Small Black in the kitchen seems to make the experience a little bit dirtier, a lot more buttery, and all around better. In this clip shot for The Tripwire , the band calmly cooks up their resigned, moody and effective track "Pleasant Experience," which vaguely recalls Fleetwood Mac nugget, "Hypnotized." One guy even plays the skillet, which probably doesn't get...
The trio continue their series of guitar-less cover versions with a second single covering Kings of Leon, Dubstar and Fleetwood Mac, and the concept hasn’t yet encountered the law of diminishing returns. The Club's pulsing bass and ecstatic keyboards cut through the priapic posturing of the original 'Sex On Fire' and make the Kings of Leon's cliches a lot more palatable - it's a thick-as-shit...
It was BBC’s Children in Need on Friday night and already it has raised over £23m for children’s charities in the UK. An annual event in the UK calendar, the evening of entertainment and money-raising /pledging is great fun, all united behind the ‘Pudsey’ banner. The yellow mascot, "Pudsey" Bear, was created in 1985 by Joanna Ball. The bear was named after her...

There was an interesting article in yesterday's Wall Street Journal about Tom Petty: Rock God Or Mere Mortal? "As Tom Petty prepares to release a career-spanning anthology next week, an attempt to determine where he falls in the music pantheon." The basic premise is that though he sold a lot of records, maybe because he was prolific with the pop hook, he just seems to lack the "cool"...
RIAA's new album of mashups and cut-ups is some of the weirdest, wackiest stuff that they've recorded in the last year or two. Spike Jones, Roger Roger, old kiddie records, and rude sound effects mix with Neutral Milk Hotel, James Blunt and the soundtracks to "Psycho" and “Eraserhead” ; '60s garage rock and Latin boogaloo collide with modern funky electro beatz. Whimsical animal...

Our friends at Babelgum are celebrating Turkey Day early this year with a hilarious clip that explains how the pilgrims celebrated the first Thanksgiving. These pint-sized history buffs don’t sugarcoat things: smallpox-covered blankets, whiskey, and the keys to a rusted out 25-year-old pick-up truck all make guest appearances in their true-to-life reenactment. Our favorite line? “You [...]...
