In 1999 Pavement released what would turn out to be their final album. "Terror Twilight" was to be the band's swansong. Their final point. By November they had played their final show, bringing an end to the most important band of the 90s. In some quarters, these ones, the most important band of all time. Of course they shared this last decade of the century with other seminal bands such...

Hickey was a great punk band from San Francisco by way of Florida. I could probably write columns about Hickey, their history & adventures, personal anecdotes from their many live performances, the bittersweet tale of Matty Luv...but I think as with all great musick, the songs themselves speak more eloquently & more succinctly than can any words. Suffice it to say that the first time I met...

For everyone that liked the last post I did on Zeds Dead , there was a tune that I've been hanging on to since then, and now I can finally share it with you. This also happened to be my favourite of the bunch, a sweet remix, one thats definitely worthy of pounding out in the club. DJ's take note, this is a tune you should be sticking in your set lists. Electro fused dubstep, yes it's not a common genre...

What's the deal, Lily Allen? Why are you trying to brain fuck us? You remember when Lily went on a big tirade about how it was awful to download music illegally and got mad at legitimate artists like Radiohead for indulging their fans in file sharing? Well schizo Silly has changed her mind! Now, she says that if [...]

The Fiery Furnaces have been in the press quite a bit lately. Not because they put out a record of Fiery Furnace covers, but because of their mythical feud with Radiohead & Beck. My relationship with this band is a little strange. I saw them open for The Shins many years ago, and they blew [...]

Ever had an time where you'd written off whatever you were doing and were then surprised? That was me last night. By the time the show was two-thirds over, I had resigned myself to marking tonight as the least enjoyable of the half-dozen or so shows of the Dolls/ Amanda Palmer since first seeing the Dolls in early 2004 in this tiny club in Chapel Hill: still a good show, but..the mix was off with...

How many ways is New Moon (the movie) better than New Moon (the book)? We ran the numbers , and the answer is 34. This is less a testament to the vagina-less Chris Weitz than it is a credit to Kristin Stewart's much improved demeanor and Taylor Lautner's not-at-all restless abs. Besides, the tweens of America clearly didn't care how crappy the CGI werewolves looked, they just wanted to feast their...

A different reading of this song…a highly sensitised microphone, hooked up to a massive amp & speaker. It can pick up the slightest noise, even from far away and every signal can cause catastrophic feedback that destroys the entire system. So to survive it must be wrapped in protective, dampening insulation, making it [...]

Lily Allen has made a U-turn in her stance on music piracy. The ‘Not Fair’ singer, who launched a scathing attack on illegal file-sharing on her MySpace blog and attacked indie group Radiohead for giving their latest album away on a pay-what-you-want basis, claims she doesn’t care if people copy her albums and sell them on [...]

Beck - "Harry Partch" ; The history of the musical feud dates back centuries probably, but in the last few decades it has really been the bearer of some terrific music at the hands of the hated on. This week Beck responded to all this Matt Friedberger (of The Fiery Furnaces) vs. Radiohead vs. Himself controversy with a song dedicated to late composer Harry Partch. Now that's not the same...
