This week it is David Bowie's 1970 (released in early 1971 in the UK) album The Man Who Sold The World This album was where the blueprint for his later incarnation as Ziggy Stardust can first be seen, not least because it is where the nucleus of the Spiders From Mars first comes together. The album was a real departure from what had come before as far as Bowie's music is concerned. The sound is heavy,...

There was an interesting article in yesterday's Wall Street Journal about Tom Petty: Rock God Or Mere Mortal? "As Tom Petty prepares to release a career-spanning anthology next week, an attempt to determine where he falls in the music pantheon."

The former Genesis frontman on fan funding, reliable filters, and why he would commission an alternative to The X Factor When I blogged about the lack of women in the music industry , one manager claimed that this is because girls are less interested in who worked on a record than what the band looks like on the cover. I'm not sure that's entirely true. After all, I was one of those girls who studied...

Harry Patch, the longest surviving veteran of World War I, lived an honorable life, his very existence serving as a reminder to countless others of how far we've come, and at what cost, in matters of international conflict and discourse. And thanks to an initially subpar rocker beef that's blossomed into something going on classic, Harry Patch has also served as a reminder of the life of composer...

Filed under: Exclusive , Spinner Interview Saul Williams is an artist of many talents. He began his career in poetry and rose to international acclaim as the star and co-writer of the film ' Slam ' before making the natural leap to MC. Williams spent most of the 2000s fronting bands that played a genre-busting music that was neither hip-hop nor rap-rock. Further refuting any kind of categorization,...

That and the fact the group never oversaw anything mixed in stereo until Abbey Road. Every stereo mix was done by George Martin (or someone else) and at times even got the tape speed completely...
