Rock stars storm the movie soundtrack world
The Guardian (Free subscription) | 19/11/2009
From Goldfrapp to Badly Drawn Boy, from Karen O to Nick Cave, more and more big names are lining up to write music for films. What makes the process so appealing? 'When you're writing a song, it's like you're the director, scriptwriter, cinematographer, everything. You're trying to create this little world, and although that's liberating, it's also a real head scratch. When you're just coming up with...

The Seven Wonders of Fashion
Fashionista.com (Free subscription) | 19/11/2009
December's British Vogue is a treasure chest of goodies, from the how-to on glitter to Lara looking very un-Lara-like in ballgowns and a stunning Doutzen editorial. But the one article that really caught my eye was a beautifully written collection of stories by some perfectly appointed contributors. "The Seven Wonders of Fashion" is an examination of pieces that are just so incredible that...

Decade's end: The Year 2003
XO's Middle Eight (Free subscription) | 12/11/2009
I was about to say that I don't even remember anything about 2003, but I think I blocked it out. My one image of that year is breaking the phone in absolute frustration and anxiety. So dramatique. But about the music, 2003 was a great year: I was passionately obsessed with every song below, all of them. More than any other year in the 00s. The top three are, by the way, truly the top three songs. XO's...

DJ Omegamale - Erection Section Selection
Ripped In Glasgow (Free subscription) | 11/11/2009
Regular viewers may remember that I started 'banging' on about the Bang Bang Club back in August. I DJ'ed in there during one of their nights during the Edinburgh Festival. It's been all quiet since then, until now. This weekend sees the relaunch of the Bang Bang Club at the Electric Circus in Edinburgh on Saturday night. It's an amazing venue, and this time round they're gonna be split between typical...

Keenhouse - Civic Transit
Groovin' You (Free subscription) | 11/11/2009
I've been listening to Keenhouse's album Civic Transit quite a lot lately (thanks to my girlfriend for putting me on to it). It's a rather jolly affair of (mostly) vocal dance-pop with plenty of lovely synths. The tracks are quite varied in style but there seems to be a mixture of Synth-pop, French House and Electro-House influences, plus I reckon there's a bit of videogame music in there too. My favourite...

The Decade List: Albums/Singles (2008)
Fin de Cinema (Free subscription) | 07/11/2009
The lesson I've learned about myself in going back and reassessing the best music of last year is that a year is about the length of time it takes for me to catch up. I posted a half-assed list in December of last year, naming Goldfrapp 's Seventh Tree , still a great album, the best. While Seventh Tree certainly improved upon the duo's previous dance floor oriented albums, it was not the best of the...

Just like everyone else, we're going to do a look-back at the past decade and reminisce.

So here goes....

Youth Music Empowerment: Destroy / Rankin
TakePart Social Action Network™ (Free subscription) | 29/10/2009
Context is everything, for everyone. So say the scientists . Classical music, for example, can greatly shape cognitive development in infants . But we can’t all be reared beneath suspended Baby Einstein mobiles, swaddled in fair trade cotton. Enhanced personal development via music, however, needn’t cease at infancy or be exclusive to a slivered population of the planet. One organization...
