The B-52’s are back on record after sixteen years with their first album of the 21st century. “Funplex” features eleven new songs [...]

The Little Ones Making Big Strides

The best presents for women come in small boxes. The best new find for music enthusiasts comes as The Little Ones. The five grinning guys from L.A.'s easiest to like group most recently displayed their diamond in a box capability with October 7th's release of Morning Tide. Wound with the pop of their own giddiness, The Little Ones fuse in experimentation akin to Vampire Weekend while also melting in the groove of The Whitest Boy Alive. In 2006, Sing Song had propelled The Little Ones into qu

SUPERGRASS

Sweet beat: Primal Scream packs its latest grooves with tasty melodies, duets

PRIMAL SCREAM Beautiful Future (B-Unique) By Todd Lavoie There's a standard snappy comeback which seems to inevitably follow the announcement of a new Primal Scream release. If you spend much time in the music-nerd universe, you've probably heard it somewhere. Hell, maybe you've even uttered the words yourself. It goes something like this: "So, which Primal Scream will we be hearing from this time?" I suppose it's all in good snark, given that the Glasgow, Scotland, institution has thr

Britpop Faves: Fly, doves

By Daniel N. Alvarez Part of a continuing series: Britpop Faves. Something must be in the water in England’s second city. For a population of less than half a million, Manchester has spawned a hair-raising number of musical visionaries that are often as charismatic as they are brilliant. While the Gallagher brothers, the Moz, Ian Curtis, Richard Ashcroft, and Ian Brown may have stolen the headlines, three likely lads from Wilmslow, a Manchester suburb just 10 miles to the south, quietly bui

johnny cash remixes project coming soon

just got this from a publicist. i'm usually not into posting press releases verbatim, but this one is awesome for a few reasons, not least of which is that it says that teddy riley, dj quik, and snoop dogg have formed a production team. just imagine the good shit that could come from that. and how great is it that pete rock is remixing "folsom prison blues?" that thing needed more pete rock horns, and now it's gonna get 'em. i also love that the album is executive produced by snoop, johnny and j

Quick hitters:: The Little Ones

Band:: The Little Ones Album:: Morning Tide Label:: Chop Shop Records Web site:: http://www.wearethelittleones.com/index2.html Myspace:: http://www.myspace.com/wearethelittleones The Little Ones are one of those bands that seem to get swallowed up by the industry.

C IS FOR THE CHEMICAL BROTHERS (PT 3)

Some more B sides from Tom and Ed. And I'd forgotten their full names were: Thomas Owen Mostyn Rowlands & Edmund John Simons. Such nice boys. Today, B sides from Loops of Fury and a remix of Weatherall's Sabres of Paradise, one of Tom and Ed's earliest as the Chems. Both are from 1995. In 1997, "Block Rockin' Beats" won a US Grammy for Best Rock Instrumental (the irony). Errol Kolosine, head of their US label Astralwerks, recalls "There's a version of "Loops of Fury" with fellow Best Rock Instru
