Belle and Sebastian - BBC Sessions

Rating: 3.5 out of 5 stars It’s difficult to rate a release of a band which has achieved adoration throughout the independent music world, especially when that release consists of various John Peel Sessions and a live recording in Belfast.  However, the gauntlet has been layed down, thus the rating has been thrown out. The compilations is made up of multiple discs, the first being the BBC Sessions alluded to in the title of the release.  Now, Belle and Sebastian has always been a quiet band,

Ignatz Domesticus Then one day she noticed the forest had started to bleed into her waking life. There were curved metal plates on the trees to see around corners. She thought to brush her hand against his thigh. She thought to trace the seam of his jeans with her thumbnail. The supersaturated blues were beginning to pixellate around the edges, to become a kind of grammar. Soot amassed in drifts in the corners of the room. She placed a saucer of sugar water under her lamp and cou

The Replacements :: The Sire/Warner Reissues

The Replacements :: The Sire/Warner Reissues The new set of Replacements reissues, focusing on their four albums for Sire/Warner Brothers records (Tim, Pleased to Meet Me, Don’t Tell a Soul and All Shook Down), deal with the most controversial albums in the band’s catalogue - controversial in regards to their stock compared to the earlier albums, in recording quality, even in integrity. These albums are often seen as the Mats’ grab at the brass ring of success, an effort that ultimately tor

White Label Wednesday: Underworld, “Underneath the Radar”

Or, White Label Wednesday, Before They Were Stars Edition Underworld would like you believe that they were immaculately conceived in 1994 as the spooky techno band that “debuted” with dubnobasswithmyheadman, with no past or, if pressed, a Jason Bourne case of amnesia about their former life. Ah, but we know better, don’t we? Underworld indeed has a past; they were just hoping that they could pull a Ministry and leave it all behind. The incredible thing is, it worked; almost no one remembers

The man who signed Madonna

As the man who signed Madonna, The Ramones and Talking Heads, he is one of the most influential record executives and talent spotters of the last 40 years. Now 66, Seymour Stein says he will keep seeking new stars until the day he dies. It was 1955, when rock 'n' roll was beginning to bubble up, that a young boy from Brooklyn decided he had to make a start in the music industry. Seymour Stein was just 13 and obsessed with music when he persuaded industry paper Billboard to let him have a d

BURNING THE GROUND EXCLUSIVEACCIDENTALLY 4th ST. (GLORIA)"Accidentally 4th St. (Gloria)" 1989 [CD Maxi Promo] Figures on a Beach was a musical band formed in Detroit, Michigan in the early 1980s out of the prior band Razor 1922. Figures on a Beach played in an artistic New Romantic/techno-pop style that was hard to pin down.

Stones Legend For In The City

Loog Oldham Hosts Music Event Former Rolling Stones manager and boss of Immediate records Andrew Loog Oldham has broken his South American exile to host the second day of the In The City event (October 6th). A boss of the nascent Stones, Loog Oldham carefully crafted a 'bad boy' image to the group that has stuck to this day. The young manager also produced their first two albums, before forming Immediate Records - perhaps the first important independent record label in the history of the UK. Of

Mixtape: Let it go, let it go, let it go

I've been out of blogging action a bit this week because work has busted my chops. I suppose this is a good thing at heart, but I don't like it when work takes so much that I have no energy left. That combined with barely sleeping has left me a haggard tramp! But not so out of it that I can't give some thoughts for this week: The new Razorlight song is kind of corny. I love the opening when Johnny sings in a very unadorned, subtle way, but then he goes on about how "she lives on Disillusion R

Today's Hotness: Manhattan Love Suicides, This Town Needs Guns

When we last checked in on British noise-pop dynamos The Manhattan Love Suicides here in April, the Leeds-based foursome had just issued its Clusterf*ck 7" EP. And at the time we advised folks to watch EMusic and wait for the four songs to show up in the handy MP3 format, because digitizing vinyl is wicked frustrating, yeh. After that we forgot all about the EP until today, when a MySpace alert notifified us that the band had just uploaded a new track from a recently issued compilation titled
