after his role as bass player with The La’s, John Power took his tunes and guitar skills on to a new project in Liverpool called Cast. the result, no-frill rock n roll… with timing that coincided with the rekindling of britpop in the early and mid 90’s. “Free Me” was the debut single off their sophomore release Mother Nature Calls. various member projects since.. Echo & the Bunnymen, Robert Plant, The La’s, Kula Shaker, Shack, blahl.bahbl,ah

“we share the same skies” has marr’s signature all over it. sure blahjohnny.blahblahmarr, but gotta hand it to the man.. he’s a barnacle when it comes to a good project. since his days with morrissey and co. he’s added his influence to projects with Talking Heads, Pet Shop Boys, Beck, Oasis, The Pretenders, Bernard Sumner, and Black Grape to name a few, in addition to current status as official member of Modest Mouse and now The Cribs. And until The Smiths get back together, which most likely won’t happen unless i win the lottery and offer them all my money, his work here with The Cribs will definitely suffice..
The Cribs fourth studio LP dropped last week in the UK and it will have an “official” US release mid-November (available now for download). it showcases Jarmen bros. and co. in fine form. “Cheat On Me” really grows. they’ll be in NY and LA for 3 days amidst their current tour schedule.. can’t, won’t, must-not miss them

jarvis cocker broham and former longpigs frontman richard hawley is back like chiroprac with “for your lover, give some time”. the track is the lead single off the upcoming “truelove’s gutter” LP due out monday in the UK. we dig the sort of leonard cohen/”what are you doing with the rest of your life” meld.

BAM! janet is gonna “make us” extend dance party monday into tuesday. and damn, janet comes hard on this brand new just-released track. we’re really feeling this sound. a sound that feels, at least to us, like an homage to her brother. between the off-beat vocal syncopations, the sort of breezy harmonic arrangements, and fuck! the repeated “don’t stop til you get enough” ?kinda? lines. we think this is the best song to come out of camp janet in several years. so excuse us, while we monday get down, charlie brown! (on tuesday! haha).

the question.. we wonder, will Delphic help carry the torch of manchester brilliance??? either way “this momentary” is solid, and for a lack of better words.. does something real. and whatever real is for you, for us (today) it’s a fucking dance party. truth be told; many bands have channelled New Order, but not many have had the taste to do it right. dig

Deastro stand out in the cluttered and increasingly less inspiring indie electro-pop music crowd. while young in age, Randolph Chabot demonstrates his ability to hold down a sincere and quality song. there’s a fine line between writing good songs from experience, and natural talent. the latter of which radiates from “toxic crusader”. “are we not from the roots of the planet and the trees”??? ain’t it the truth?

“this is @#@!$ sunday morning. we right here on a beautiful morning in cleveland, ohio.” we ain’t kidding! it’s cleveland! and it’s fuckin’ gorgeous! it’s sort of surreal to us that the hottest artist in the hip hop game right now is from cleveland. throw them walleye fillets up! shouts to everyoneloveshiphop

arvo pärt in setting the te deum text (of which the “sanctus” is an excerpt) sought to communicate a mood ““that could be infinite in time—out of the flow of infinity. …i had to draw this music gently out of silence and emptiness.”
