This was a nice chance discovery. This dude seems to have a collection of performances filmed at Toronto's El Mocambo club, and he's put some up on YouTube, including the above footage of John Metcalfe and Vini Reilly. It's new to me, and, I suspect, most of you too. He's said he may put more Durutti Column clips up, so subscribe if you get the chance. Even more exciting (to me at least), he has five...
I am just in awe of an interview. Here's a section of it, and it's an interview with Carly Simon : Gregg Shapiro: A few years ago, Joni Mitchell re-recorded her songs in orchestral settings, and Cyndi Lauper released an album on which she revisited some of her best-loved songs in acoustic settings. Carly Simon: How dare they copy me! Actually, I was privileged to hear Joni's record in her car. We had...
Went to see an encore performance of Matthew Sweet and Susanna Hoffs last night at City Winery. Another fun show, this time with fewer technical glitches and WAY BETTER seats. They did essentially the same line-up as when they came through in September , with the notable exception of George Harrison's Beatles classic "Here Comes the Sun," below, which was so beautiful it's hard to believe...
With the imminent release of the new Shakespears Sister album , I had planned to write about the return of the legendary Siobhan Fahey this week. But then I got an e-mail from a Bangles list I'm on letting me know that the band had contributed a song a new charity album and my attention was quickly diverted. It's a cover of "We Belong," the beautiful song written by Eric Lowen and Dan Navarro...

The girls are home from school today. I’m not sure why, but I think it has something to do with either staff development or the birth of Matthew Sweet. As I prepared my very large cup of coffee this morning, I glanced out into the back yard where I noticed a fairly large bird with a [...]
Pop rock artist Matthew Sweet wears many hats. From solo to Sid ‘n’ Susie. Though he is busy touring, PopWreckoning’s Thomas Starks caught up to the artist to talk the tour and his projects: Thomas Starks, PopWreckoning: Hello Mr. Sweet, thank you so much for taking my call. I know we have a short time so [...]
Power-popper Matthew Sweet and lead Bangle Susanna Hoffs are at it again as duo “ Sid N Susie .” Anyway, last time around it was 2006, and they were covering 60s classics. This time, they’ve progressed into the 70s, covering songs by acts like Fleetwood Mac, Rod Stewart and Mott the Hoople. They’ll be in the area for two shows – this Sunday, November 8th at the Birchmere...
Like many, I've been getting back into The Beatles in a big way since the release of their remastered catalog last month. I've been picking up their masterpieces one at a time and the first one I got, REVOLVER , did not disappoint. With an absoultely mind-boggling range of genius songs including "Taxman," "Eleanor Rigby," "Yellow Submarine," "Got to Get You Into My...
