September 7, 1994 would have been the late Buddy Holly’s 58th bithday. So, it was a fitting day for alternative rock band Weezer to release the second single from their self-titled debut album (right). The single peaked at number 18...
Or is it Mary Tyler Moore? Who cares, it’s cute and infectious! It’s Weezer as you’ve never heard them before – performed by a troop of animated ferrets!

Ah, the follies of youth - apparently Alex Kapranos was so desperate to emulate Sid Vicious , he was hoping he was going to die an early death: "I wanted to be like Buddy Holly or Sid Vicious or Rupert Brooke and have achieved everything I was going to do and done it all by the time I was 21 and then die glamorously. Unfortunately, it didn't happen like that." ... so, instead, I did the next...
This weekend, co-vocabularists have eagerly conjoined unlikely composite individuals, with diverting and droll results. For example: "George W. Bush League of Extraordinary Gentlemen Prefer Blondes."
I can think of no better way to start our work week/Monday morning than with a huge gift in the form of something free, something amazing and something musically diversely perfect. Of course it comes from some of our fave Chicagoans, The Hood Internet . It's been just over a year since the last installment of their mixtapes dropped, they recently posted up their 300th "Hood track", and in...
Girls ( original post ) are a set of 60s revivalist musicians, partly because it's the music they love, and partly because its all lead singer Christopher Owens was ever exposed to during his childhood and teenage years. He grew up in the American Christian cult Children of God , and despite leaving as a teenager, he was always restricted to old films and movies, and music created exclusively within...
Girls @ the Black Cat. Photo by Holly Le. You'd be forgiven for thinking that the Real Estate / Girls show Tuesday night at the Black Cat was an extended tribute to The Clean, an open-mic homage to the under-known but influential Kiwi punk band. Hell, the show might have been a two-set-long cover act, the way both bands indulge in heavy chorus pedal and simple chord progressions and fancy-free songs...
Here's something I was discussing at work earlier and which might prove useful: how to link to a YouTube clip at a specific starting time. Basically you take the URL for the clip and append #t=XmYs to the end of it, substituting the appropriate numbers of minutes and seconds for X and Y as appropriate. So I can now take you straight to the Michael Portillo "erect" moment , which is handy....
First impressions are crucial, especially in an overcrowded arena like modern popular song. You've got to grab the attention straight away, or at least, tickle the fun-receptors in the human brain in an enticing fashion, so's to encourage everyone to listen again. Because of this, the context in which a song is first heard can make all the difference in the world. For example: There's a song at the...

I haven’t always loved Weezer’s music (though the blue album is brilliant), but I love the band. They’ve always had a knack for understanding their audience and providing content (music, videos, blankets – more on that later) that shows they perfectly understand their fans. Here’s a quick review: First, the Buddy Holly video: If you can see [...]
