thecocknbullkid: Querelle
prefixmag (Free subscription) | 09/10/2009
Anita Blay, daughter of Ghanian parents, has been dubbed by the typically over-zealous British press as the Next Big Thing. It makes for an interesting experiment: Are we about to witness the quick spark of an act that never gets out of the U.K. because the press has turned her from the Beatles to Sigue Sigue Sputnik in a matter of weeks? The interesting twist here is that Blay, under the moniker thecocknbullkid,...

Too Much Apple Pie (Free subscription) | 30/09/2009
It's the Gallup UK Top 100 Singles of the Year 1986 - and your chance to download a whopping 3% of them! Imagine that! 1986 being the zenith (or nadir, depending on your point of view) of my chart-pop-buying lifespan, I bought no less then thirty-eight of the songs listed below on either 7" or 12" vinyl (including the one at #2), and could still happily listen to most of them on a constant...

Anatomy of a look
The WOW Report (Free subscription) | 18/09/2009
Of course, everything in fashion has already been done before. There are no "new" looks. You can personalize an old look, or update it, or give something a new twist. But don't ever come to me and say you are doing something completely revolutionary. I'll laugh in your face. There is always an antecedent. Always, always, always. Case in point: Mr. Manson left his Toronto hotel last night,...

1986 or Spring 2010 ???
Brandy Wine and Brenda A. Go-Go are On Patrol (Free subscription) | 03/09/2009
photograph copyright Johnny Rozsa This look could easily be from a forthcoming Spring 2010 collection but it's not. This great photograph of Martin Degville from the band Sigue Sigue Sputnik was taken by Johnny Rozsa in 1986. We are proud to say the photograph is in our personal collection (thank you Johnny!) and we are big fans of his work. Did we mention Johnny has a new book coming out? it's titled...

Vowels - The Pattern Prism
The Quietus | All Articles (Free subscription) | 02/09/2009
If I were in Vowels, I might have decided to call this album Songs in the Key of A and E and I and O and U. Not merely for the sake of a bad pun, but because it seems like it's been constructed in keys previously undiscovered by mortal man. Largely lacking both rhythm and melody, at least in any conventional sense, this alternately challenging and soporific CD consists of a series of sonic events unconnected...

Big Audio Dynamite II - Ally Pally Paradiso
Ripped In Glasgow (Free subscription) | 29/08/2009
I was always a massive fan of BAD, and always bought their stuff as soon as it came out, full price. Must have been one of the only cunts who did so, as their singles always ended up in the 90p box in my local record shop, and the albums were always in the sale. Criminally underrated in my opinion, pioneering the use of samples, hip-hop/dance beats and general dance/rock fusion. This album was a freebie...

JANET STREET-PORTER: A glass ceiling? It’s reinforced b****y concrete! So says a woman who has risen to the very tippy toppy of our society without any noticeable talent or skill…. Although, to be fair, she did shag for a time one of Sigue Sigue Sputnik which has to count for something or other. Not much, but something.
