It’s time again for a feature begun two years ago, in which I put my Christmas music stash on shuffle and we see what comes out. The list begins in an entirely predictable fashion. “What Child Is This”/Vince Guaraldi Trio/A Charlie Brown Christmas. Fun fact about the special, which aired Tuesday night on ABC and will [...]

Liverpool. Great city, terrible week. It's an interesting time for the Merseyside derby . There was no great escape for the Reds as they stumbled past the might of Debrecen on Tuesday night and then stood in forlorn hope of a late late Lyon goal that might save their bacon. Unfortunately Insua and Skrtel weren't in the Fiorentina line-up so the goal never came. Hansen and Lawro would've been growling...

Munich Machine - Munich Machine I know, I know, I should be on E, but I got the munchies for some M&Ms. You thought the last album I posted was the decline of western civilization, well think again.

I found their group through Facebook and figured it was worth joining that for updates about meetings and things. They’re having a general meeting next Sunday so I RSVP’d myself. I suspect it’ll be worthwhile to get involved and meet other like-minded folks in the area. I could use an improved social network, as well. I [...]

In 1992, to celebrate their 40th birthday, NME enlisted 40 bands to cover Number One hits by other artists, and the results were nothing if not interesting. David Medsker serves up the first of three discs in this week's Pop Goes the World.

Bananarama's story starts a new chapter with the release of "Viva," an exciting, new album with both feet planted on the dance floor. The new self-penned material is, once again, the result of Sara Dallin and Keren Woodward identifying the right collaborators for the right point in their career something that they did so successfully in the 80s. This time, they've found a perfect foil in...

Now, the NYT Magazine draws attention to the work of a pair of social scientists, Nicholas...

Several months ago, I suggested we watch the Three Degrees perform MacArthur Park because it is truly wonderful, and now I suggest we watch four of the fluffiest bimbettes of the King family perform a relentlessly cheery song that even Mama Cass couldn't save in her hit cover of it. In 1969 so many different things were co-percolating in music. British invasion, Motown, folk, rock, etc. (Think of the...

Because no good idea can ever go unrepeated, let’s examine another year of the British charts and compare the Number-One hits to those in the States, like we did with 1976. This time: 1974. Five songs that topped the American charts in 1974 also reached Number One in Britain: “Seasons in the Sun” by Terry Jacks, [...]

Fayette Pinkney sang with the Three Degrees, the female vocal group who were dubbed “Charlie’s Angels” after the Prince of Wales declared them to be his favourite group. Pinkney, a founder member, had left by the time this royal endorsement led to a performance at Buckingham Palace for the Prince’s 30th birthday and at a party to celebrate his marriage to Lady Diana Spencer....
