Filed under: News , Exclusive , Movies According to Jethro Tull 's Ian Anderson , every major British band from the '70s insists it was the inspiration for the band Spinal Tap . Naturally, the frontman is pretty sure his band actually was an inspiration for the mockumentary rockers. "There's lots of little elements in there we think happened to us and was about us," he tells Spinner. "But...

The very best of games don't sell an experience; they sell an identity. I, for example, have always been a huge fan of metal. Black Sabbath is a personal favourite. Motorhead are excellent. If you asked me to name one song I could never get tired of listening to, it would be Angel Witch. This is a true fact that applies to my entire life and it has applied to my entire life from five minutes after...

If you thought country music was all hairspray and rhinestones, then you’d be wrong – very wrong. When it comes to the long, dark corners of the soul, nothing beats a prime slice of low down and dirty Americana.

Last summer, I went to see the Nels Cline Singers play at Martyr's. I went in without ever hearing any of Cline's overwhelming catalog of solo work, but a friend gave me two pieces of advice beforehand. 1. Don't expect anything remotely resembling Wilco. 2. Do expect it to be really, really loud. These proved to be sound pieces of advice. The sound reverberated through the room to that point where...

Other than Black Sabbath, and to a degree Metallica, I've never really dug heavy metal. By the time of the big hair arena Eighties, the genre seemed like a sad, obvious joke, as Spinal Tap showed. I shared John Lydon's sneer about flapping your flares to an audience of groveling idiots, and so never heard of or listened to Anvil, Canadian head bangers who appeared with Bon Jovi, Scorpions, and Whitesnake....

A rich, rich weekend: catching up with some excellent friends and hearing their story, watching a favourite film ( Spinal Tap since you ask- hence the picture ) after years of quoting it to each other, late night funeral visits, preaching in…

Here is my evidence. I was at a family campout summer event over the weekend with about 300 other people. This is an annual fundraising event hosted by a family who have a huge rural property just north of Auckland, New Zealand. It's good fun. Now the local primary school's music teacher is an accomplished drummer and his very good band treated us to various rock standards (e.g. Sweet Home Alabama,...

Spinal Tap does not go up to eleven. Crank could be cranked up a bit. Even a film like Transformers with its non-stop explosions and destruction does not come close to the new holder of this title. Enter the little movie that could, Tulpan from Khazakstan. Initially you would not peg this tale of nomadic [...]

Some of you may remember the Crank Index piece from a couple of months ago. In it, I proposed an index consisting of the following points, to be used whenever we encounter anti-cyclist comments in blogs, newspaper articles, web forums, and the like. Here are all eleven: (1)Bicyclists need tags, licenses, and insurance. (2) All bicyclists are scofflaws. They run red lights and stop signs all the time!...

The little-documentary-that-could The Story Of Anvil , about the band that was like a "real life Spinal Tap" right down to having a drummer named Robb Reiner, stole everyone's heart this past year. Except for people whose hearts are made of stone. Or metal. Well if your heart was made of \m/ metal then it probably stole your heart, too. But if your heart is made of Oscar-material precious...
