Pitchfork pitched in with theirs back in October, the NME did it more recently, and this weekend the Observer/Guardian published theirs . Today it’s my turn. I know you’ve been waiting with baited breath for what is the ultimate list of the top fifty albums of the decade. And was it a good decade? There was no emerging or prevalent musical ‘movement’ that I’m aware of,...

It feels ridiculous to say it now, but early reports concerning the debut (and presumably sole) album by Neon Neon could easily have suggested a project ready to deliver horrific results. Gruff Rhys has produced two wonderful solo LPs over the past decade, proof that he is at his best when in control instead of a co-pilot; Super Furry Animals are a band for which democracy does not work, seeing as...

The moment those barmy Army lads in Pink Panther and Sylvester outfits drinking their beer through the...
The folks over at Baeblemusic have posted a full concert from Super Furry Animals that was filmed in New York this past September. I don’t think I’ve ever lost interest in a band as quickly as I did with Super Furry Animals – loved everything they did up to and including Rings Around The World, but [...]

Bowerbirds play a tiny desk concert at NPR Music. The Guardian profiles comics legend Osamu Tezuka and his creation, Astro Boy. Tezuka's comics look outward to the world, too: his influences are decisively international. Individual frames, as McCarthy points out,...

The paper was one of the earliest champions of the Strokes when they emerged at the beginning of the...
