Early Fleetwood Mac song. I did my last overtime, I hope, yesterday and I am shattered. I don't seem to be able to concentrate on very much and I just go home and sleep after work. Yesterday, I had my fifth Expert Patient session and, during a relaxation session, I fell asleep! This was either very good or very bad. Plenty of rain yesterday but no apparent sign of the leak so it would seem to be wind...

RIAA 's new album of mashups and cut-ups is some of the weirdest, wackiest stuff that they've recorded in the last year or two. Spike Jones, Roger Roger, old kiddie records, and rude sound effects mix with Neutral Milk Hotel, James Blunt and the soundtracks to "Psycho" and “Eraserhead” ; '60s garage rock and Latin boogaloo collide with modern funky electro beatz. Whimsical animal...

We’ve posted several times this year about The Cordelier Club a group who have not yet gained any significant attention, and are unsigned. However the brother and sister led act have been worming away writing some stomping and catchy as hell middle of the road pop songs. Now, middle of the road may sound like a horrendous categorisation to throw at a band, but The Cordelier Club embrace a sound...

Much like sex , Small Black in the kitchen seems to make the experience a little bit dirtier, a lot more buttery, and all around better. In this clip shot for The Tripwire , the band calmly cooks up their resigned, moody and effective track "Pleasant Experience," which vaguely recalls Fleetwood Mac nugget, "Hypnotized." One guy even plays the skillet, which probably doesn't get...

The trio continue their series of guitar-less cover versions with a second single covering Kings of Leon, Dubstar and Fleetwood Mac, and the concept hasn’t yet encountered the law of diminishing returns. The Club's pulsing bass and ecstatic keyboards cut through the priapic posturing of the original 'Sex On Fire' and make the Kings of Leon's cliches a lot more palatable - it's a thick-as-shit...

It was BBC’s Children in Need on Friday night and already it has raised over £23m for children’s charities in the UK.

The yellow mascot, "Pudsey" Bear, was created in 1985 by Joanna Ball. The bear was named after her...

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 basic premise is that though he sold a lot of records, maybe because he was prolific with the pop hook, he just seems to lack the "cool"...

Our friends at Babelgum are celebrating Turkey Day early this year with a hilarious clip that explains how the pilgrims celebrated the first Thanksgiving. These pint-sized history buffs don’t sugarcoat things: smallpox-covered blankets, whiskey, and the keys to a rusted out 25-year-old pick-up truck all make guest appearances in their true-to-life reenactment. Our favorite line? “You [...]...

There have been a couple of videos that have caught my eye lately so I thought I’d give them some love since the death of Musical Television left a void for a forum on the art form. If you are interested in buying the video through iTunes, click the title link (where available). If you are interested in buying the song, look for a link in the analysis.
