Last night I caught the Brooklyn stop of the Evangelicals/Holiday Shores tour, which continues for five more days. Rarely have I seen two acts so perfectly suited to perform together: Both reference 1960s pop and garage rock while putting their different spins on it--and without sounding like simple regurgitation, the way a lot of "retro" bands do no matter what era they're copying. The...

OK--students in my cultural studies course had a bit of a crisis because half of their presentation group dropped out. They are doing a presentation on the Goth subculture and the two members that dropped out were covering the music. So I offered to help out with an introduction to the roots of the Goth sound (as a non-expert)... here is what I came up with, anyone want to suggest additions? 1970s:...

Sarah Palin’s Walmart Strategy By J. Robert Smith What’s notable about Sarah Palin’s book tour, which starts midweek, is where she’s not going. She’s not going to L.A. or New York, Boston or San Francisco. She’s going smack dab to the middle of the country. Fly-over country, liberals call it. And it’s a shrewd move, not only [...]

With the General Election only a matter of months away, there was a very useful and enjoyable planning meeting of North East Scotland Liberal Democrats in Cults, Aberdeen, today. Here's a picture of a few of us at the lunchtime break - from left - Mike Rumbles MSP, Malcolm Bruce MP, John Barnett - LibDem candidate for Dundee West, Sir Robert Smith MP, and yours truly.

I’ve always found it slightly amazing, that every little thing we see has it’s own story to tell…Every person we see is going somewhere…Seeing someone…And they all have had different experiences. It just feels slightly unreal. Take for example, this picture, it’s of a 1994 Ford Mondeo. Who knows how many miles it’s done. It could be 50,000…Could be...

...is (deep breath) still my favourite version of the song. Not only do I have the same confession as Liz (though why we feel the need to confess, I'm still working on); that Paul Young's version was the first I heard but also that when I heard the Joy Division version a few years later I thought it was a ropey Paul Young cover - and in fact, that's how I still see things now.

The big take over (Free subscription) | 05/11/2009
Sweden’s preoccupation with THE STOOGES seems to have passed…in the 90s it seemed like a more than likely chance that a record originating from Scandanavia would have an infatuation with Asheton stamped all over it. THE HELLACOPTERS , UNION CARBIDE PRODUCTIONS , GLUCIFER , and TURBONEGRO all showed slavish devotion to amped up guitars and a razor-sharp delivery. However, the softer side...
