Can any Word reader recall any seminal bands that have spawned equally essential or even greater solo artists? No? Thought so. A few examples of the "Great Solo Folly": the Stones - the world didn't exactly hold it's breath for those solo Keef or Mick efforts did it'; The Who (don't even start); ditto Dexy's (Kevin Rowland); Pink Floyd (name five solo Floyd albums'); Television (solo Verlaine/Lloyd...

Angryfilms have an obvious taste for projects with real clear hooks and bold high concepts and their latest acquisition is no different. Seemingly blending PMS metaphor with a little bit of Mr. Jekyll and Dr. Hyde, the Cycler novels introduce us to Jill, a typically fairly normal teenage girl, and Jack, the boy she metamorphoses into for four days of the month. It's a full transformation, too, with...

Album of the Quarter : A Sunny Day in Glasgow - Ashes Grammar Runners up: Memory Tapes - Seek Magic , Mount Eerie - Wind's Poem I am well aware that this podcast is a good month and a half removed from the end of 2009's third quarter, and that we are balls deep in the year's capping three-month span. But, perhaps the extra reflection has further winnowed the included tracks down from the fickle week...

That is the theory that's being advanced by the incredibly brave Chris Norris of Spin magazine, who we imagine will be spending the next few weeks sequestered in a safe house far away from the hordes of angry hipsters and former record-store clerks who will no doubt be looking to smash limited-edition vinyl copies of Amnesiac over his head. The crux of his argument draws largely from his experiences...

Tricky one this. This is the bit where I would probably lie and say 'I wanted to go into this album with an open mind' or maybe 'I really wanted to like this album' but the honest truth is that I really wanted to hate it. However, when Ben revealed that this was the album with tracks 'Hysteria' and 'Time is Running Out' I became very worried that I'd have to swallow my pride and accept that it was...
